Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to let me bore you to sleep.
- 0:06It really is, let me brought you to sleep? Really yeah? Really? Oh?
- 0:16So hey, it is Monday, the twenty second of September
- 0:25nineteen ninety two. Would that'd be lovely, wouldn't it? Twenty
- 0:30two years old?
- 0:33Speaker 2: Oh?
- 0:35Speaker 1: Yum yum yum? That would be so nice to be
- 0:38back to that age, would it?
- 0:40Speaker 3: Though?
- 0:41Speaker 1: I don't know? Mmmm? Would it? Would it? Possibly? The
- 0:57thing is going back to that age, I would then
- 1:01have that mindset, I would have that experience, I would
- 1:07have those limitations. Yeah. I don't think I would fare
- 1:21too well in my current life position if I was
- 1:28back there like with that mindset, because I possibly would
- 1:34get into trouble because I couldn't mind you. I mean,
- 1:43I lived in London, so I couldn't have been too
- 1:45bad because I got by, But I was definitely less
- 1:53controlled verbally back then. I wasn't a bad lad. I
- 2:01just just I don't know. I just used to get
- 2:07in trouble sometimes. The things that I said sometimes I
- 2:13got in trouble. So yeah, let me boy to sleep.
- 2:17This is Monday's boring objects. Please only listen when you
- 2:23can safely close your eyes. It is currently fifteen thirty
- 2:28one o'clock UK time, so that's three thirty one and
- 2:39my website is let me boydsleep dot com and also
- 2:43Jasonneuland dot com. They're both whoa early upgrade? Your contract ends.
- 2:56This is from my Broadband. Your contract ends on the
- 3:02thirteenth of the eleventh, twenty twenty five. But don't forget
- 3:07you're still eligible for an early upgrade. Call us today
- 3:12to choose your new twenty four month plan. You'll need
- 3:15your your broadband number when you call. You'll find it above. Oh,
- 3:25this is fort of Broadband, okay, because I've got both
- 3:27my phone and my broadband. Wow. Two years has gone
- 3:34by already. Wow wow ah. Oh, So if I don't upgrade,
- 3:51if I don't, if I don't, I mean, does that
- 3:57mean they're going to charge me more? I'm confused. So
- 4:02it's offering me four G home broadband sixteen pounds a month,
- 4:10increasing eighteen pound a month from April two thousand and
- 4:16twenty six, and then twenty pounds a month from April
- 4:26two thy twenty seven. I don't know about that. It's
- 4:32like two pounds a month extra each year. So based
- 4:36on that, right to twenty twenty seven and I'll be
- 4:50fifty six. So the two pounds a year just I'm
- 5:15just trying to work this out. It's bad, isn't it.
- 5:19It shouldn't be that complicated, really, two thousand, it's sixteen
- 5:28pound a month. Now, two pounds a year. There's twenty
- 5:34pounds every ten years, like extra per month, which is
- 5:39two hundred and well, that's twenty four pound extra a year,
- 5:44isn't it. But I'm sure it'll probably go up higher.
- 5:48So I think it's twenty four pound, so be twenty
- 5:55sixteen plus twenty so be thirty six pounds a month
- 6:05in ten years time, thirty twenty thirty, thirty six pounds
- 6:18a month in ten years time, fifty six pounds a
- 6:24month in twenty years time, seventy six year pound a
- 6:30month in thirty years time, ninety six pound a month
- 6:36in forty years time, and one hundred and sixteen pounds
- 6:41a month in fifty years time. One hundred and sixteen
- 6:49pound a month is going to cost me for my
- 6:51broadband when I'm one hundred and five. It just seems
- 6:55a lot of money. And just looking forward, you know,
- 6:57looking forward to those dates and maybe one hundred and
- 7:03sixteen pounds a month isn't going to be a lot
- 7:05of money in fifty fifty year. I don't know. So
- 7:14what happens if I don't phone them up? Well, they
- 7:17just continue and then charge me more because I've got
- 7:28both my contract, my mobile phone, and not the phone,
- 7:34but the contract and the broadband connected together. As like
- 7:40paying it cost me fifty four or fifty six pounds
- 7:45a month, which means I must be paying thirty. See,
- 7:57I'm sure I was paying twenty pounds a month for
- 7:59the band, so they've given it to me a cheaper price.
- 8:03But that's a phone call. I'm never going to get
- 8:07that time back, am I. And that's going to be
- 8:10a phone call to someone who I mean, it might
- 8:13be an automated system that might not might not even
- 8:17be a human that I talked to, which in some
- 8:21ways could be better than talking to a human. But
- 8:24it depends they don't always seem to understand these bots,
- 8:34these answering machines, services, telephone AI, whatever they're called. They
- 8:44don't always seem to understand my language. Now I thought
- 8:51I was fairly clearly spoken. I'm no elocution at s,
- 9:00but my dad is, and we did that for a
- 9:03living you we spent like forty years were worry in
- 9:07people's houses. But I I kind of feel that I
- 9:13speak fairly clearly fairly. I mean, I don't know. I
- 9:22don't pronounce every single word correctly and every syllable precisely possibly,
- 9:33but I thought it'd be, you know, kind of okay
- 9:37for a system like that. And then there's the thing
- 9:42where you know, it's just with the internet and stuff
- 9:46that don't take into consideration the different countries. Because we
- 9:54do our like with the date, we do it different
- 9:58to how America does it and how maybe other countries
- 10:01do it. So we do it the day first, then
- 10:08the month, then the year, which it seems like it's
- 10:13like the correct way to do it, just because that's
- 10:17just all I've known. However, from a numeral numeral, it's
- 10:27kind of doing it month first, then day, then year.
- 10:32That makes sense in a spreadsheet as far as you know,
- 10:37you do that and everything kind of fits together. But
- 10:42then you get into trouble when you've got like if
- 10:47it's the first of August twenty twenty five, so we
- 10:56put one eight twenty twenty five or twenty five, but
- 11:01if you put eight one twenty five, that's the eighth
- 11:06of January, completely different date. Do you see? You see
- 11:11what I mean? It's just you'd think in a modern
- 11:16world where communication is so important and that would all
- 11:27kind of be on the same page with this stuff.
- 11:31But nope. So you know, important days in America, you know,
- 11:37someone let's says, some events have what's this are marked
- 11:46just by a date, and the same in this in
- 11:50this country, like what was it Battle of Trafalgar tow
- 11:53was it ten sixty six? Or was that the where
- 11:57the bakery burned their bun? I know it's something ten
- 12:02sixty six.
- 12:07Speaker 4: Do you have Anny?
- 12:18Speaker 1: He's so greedy he's eating on a snack, but he's
- 12:23literally swallowing it before he's chewed it. Bless him. It's
- 12:33a bit like a snake trying to eat a giraffe,
- 12:35you know, apart from well, it's nothing like a there's
- 12:41nothing like that at all. I don't know why I
- 12:42even said that. I hope that the podcast situation with
- 12:55Apple Podcasts is now sorted. I hope, I hope. I
- 13:01I've tested the links on my website, which in fact
- 13:05I need to make changes. I do, I do, I do?
- 13:09I do? Right? So wait a second, Pages, Online store, pages,
- 13:18Apple podcasts. So I need to open it up, view
- 13:22the page, click on it, copy the no, copy the page,
- 13:33then go back and add blindly where is it preferences,
- 13:48no home, where is it online store? I think I'm
- 13:58going to have to open up that. All right, that's it,
- 14:02and then it can give me. I can add to
- 14:05the menu. Where's the menu? Where's the menu? Anyone menu? Menu?
- 14:10I don't know where's the menu? So I come out
- 14:13of there. It's got to be a menu somewhere. Content menus.
- 14:19There we go, main menu. So add am menu item?
- 14:27So nope, Apple, Apple podcasts pages, Apple, Apple podcasts, Apple,
- 14:56You're right, be that one, I think. Save. I realize
- 15:01you can't see what I'm doing here, but I just
- 15:03want to check to see if this's working. Apple Podcasts.
- 15:07So let's just take us a couple of seconds for
- 15:10it to update. Yeah, Apple podcasts, yep. So I've been
- 15:21testing the Apple Podcasts page. I've now put it onto
- 15:25the website to let me boydsleep dot com website and
- 15:30everyone's working. They're all working as far as those links.
- 15:36And let me bore you to sleep, Let me bore
- 15:40your pain away that's working, that's up to date. Jason's
- 15:47Bedtime story Time that's working, that's up to date, although
- 15:52I need to Oh, I might do another one soon,
- 15:57really please don't. And then you've got Monday's Sleepy Boring Objects,
- 16:04So which is today? Now it works, it's I think
- 16:09it's also up to date. But if it's not up
- 16:11to date, unless it is, because the last one I
- 16:15got on there was eleventh of August. I'm pretty sure
- 16:19I've done a Monday's Boring Object since then, but maybe not.
- 16:25But anyway, that's all all the links work on the website,
- 16:32so hopefully they should work for you. I hope. I
- 16:39spent pretty much all day yesterday working on that. Now
- 16:51I hopefully, I just I hope it's done. But then
- 16:57I do get a message from Shann I hope you got.
- 17:03I did reply saying that asking if I was all
- 17:06right because I hadn't posted any new episodes lately. So
- 17:12again that worries me that it's not updating in some places,
- 17:19but hopefully it is. It's just it's one of those things.
- 17:23It's just happened, and I'm just I just want it
- 17:29to be sorted now. Really, you know what I mean,
- 17:32I just want it to be all sorted, all sorted,
- 17:37all nice and sorted. Now yeah, yeah, So before I
- 17:51choose a subject to discuff, what's happened? Since what's it's Saturday? Yeah?
- 18:01Because yesterday Saturday I did the recording. I talked about
- 18:06bipolar and eup DO. It's emotional emotionally unstable personality disorder
- 18:14with I can never remember the word impulsivity. That's what
- 18:22I was diagnosed with, impulsivity. Anyway, I talked about that.
- 18:28And today yesterday Sunday, there was some boxing early hours
- 18:36Sunday morning, but I've not watched it. I could have
- 18:40to watch it on playback. But then today, Yeah, the
- 18:48rest of the day yesterday I was working on trying
- 18:52to get the Apple podcasts back online up to date,
- 18:57and I was getting help from chat ept to help
- 19:00me to figure out what to do with the ones
- 19:03and which ones were the ones that were working and
- 19:05testing the links and all that stuff. I've done my best.
- 19:11That's all we can ever really ask, isn't it. I
- 19:15never never made the teachers pleased, but you know I've
- 19:18done my best. Were not good enough? You've got to
- 19:21try harder, I said, done my best didn't say I tried.
- 19:26I'd done my best by it, you know, within the
- 19:30realm of not trying. I realized the other day that
- 19:36I never used any strength. You know. It's like, you know,
- 19:40when you pick something up, you just pick it up.
- 19:43But that extra strength that we've all got, you know,
- 19:47when you're like, I suppose the difference between picking something
- 19:52up and really using your body really you know, I
- 19:57did that the other day and I was surprised. I thought, Oh,
- 20:02that's what That's what I thought. I thought, Oh, what's that.
- 20:06There's a little bit of strength left in my body.
- 20:09At my old age, I still got a little bit
- 20:11of strength. And I undid the pickle jar. So that
- 20:17was good. That was nice. Not something I would have
- 20:21celebrated thirty years ago. But hey, it's little little victories,
- 20:26isn't it, in life, Little little victories. So I got
- 20:32a message, I think it was Friday, telling me my
- 20:34mental health nurse is going to phone me at the
- 20:36end of the month. I started increasing my medications. I'm
- 20:40a little bit little not hugely disorientated, but a little bit,
- 20:47a little bit, just a little bit, And I've woken
- 20:55up early the last couple of days earlier than normal
- 21:01and just being in a kind of it's a weird
- 21:04kind of it's probably strange straight because I've doubled the
- 21:12mood stabilizers, you know, the doctor told me to double them.
- 21:18So it's like, oh, anyway, I'm not going to talk
- 21:23about that today. I'm going to talk about what shall
- 21:26I talk about for my Monday's boring objects? Any ideas, anyone.
- 21:36Twenty minutes in I'll start the recording. Anyone, anyone, anyone,
- 21:40for anyone.
- 21:42Speaker 5: Oh earlier today, I did start to look at the
- 21:51images I make for this podcast, and I stuck your
- 21:58food chat Chipity and I said, well do you think?
- 22:01Speaker 1: And they and it said too busy. I thought it's
- 22:06a bit rude. What they meant is that the image
- 22:09was too busy. So I'm gonna do it now. I'll
- 22:15do it now while we're talking. I'll do it and
- 22:17i'll show you. So I'll do yesterday's image, which was
- 22:22on a Sunday's image rather, which was number one, four
- 22:28hundred and thirty five. Let me boy to sleep discussing
- 22:31my biopolo and EUPD. So let's ever click on that.
- 22:36Please diagnose this image. I don't know if diagnosed this
- 22:46the correct W word. But I did a similar thing
- 22:50earlier on in the chat bearing in mind chat. EBT
- 22:59helped me make the but I edited it and I
- 23:02added little bits and stuff, so I want to see
- 23:06what they think. In fact, I've done very little to
- 23:10the image to be fair sometimes and the image creates
- 23:17it creates an image that I can use quite quickly.
- 23:23So it's basically diagnosing strengths and areas from improvement from
- 23:28an image that it created itself. It goes I have
- 23:34reviewed the image and there's a diagnosis. Here's a diagnosis
- 23:38of ed strengths and areas for improvement. Clear episode topic.
- 23:43The main text discussing my bipolar EUBD is bold, large
- 23:48and easy to read. And Vinie's just farted, Like really wow,
- 23:56you'd think you'd wait until he's eating, wouldn't you. I
- 24:02just normally I eat, then I fart. I don't normally
- 24:06fart while I'm eating. Calming background the pastor gradient with
- 24:12the sunrise sunset and rolling the hills fits the podcasts
- 24:18relaxing sleep friendly theme. You know, I was just thinking
- 24:24the last time I had a date, last time I
- 24:26actually had a lady in this flat was Wow, what
- 24:32twenty nineteen, I think. And I didn't have Vinny then
- 24:41and the whole time we were up here. So I've
- 24:43got a pizza. I met her on a course that
- 24:46I was doing, and we got on really well, and
- 24:50she just came around. We watched the boxing together, kind
- 24:56of like a perfect girlfriend. Really thinking about it, but hey,
- 25:00I self sabotaged myself on that one. It's not funny,
- 25:04but I just I did. But we got really well.
- 25:06And the problem is, so I got a Domino's delivery.
- 25:14There was pizza. She wasn't really eating much. I can
- 25:19This is when I was drinking lots of coke back
- 25:21then as well, So I was getting through about six
- 25:24cans of coca day. I don't drink any coke anymore really,
- 25:29apart from occasionally as a little treat. So if you imagine,
- 25:36I was filling myself with gassy water, but I couldn't
- 25:43let any farts out, because it's not that I couldn't,
- 25:51it's just it didn't seem like the appropriate thing to
- 25:54do on a first date. And we've kind of gone
- 26:01from being sort of friends to potentially more. You know,
- 26:06this was like the first step really outside of going
- 26:11for a coffee with her and coulor other people from
- 26:14the group, and I'm sitting on a chair and I
- 26:23really want to let's let her far off. And you
- 26:27could have said, well, you know, why didn't you go
- 26:29into a different room. She still would have heard it.
- 26:34Why didn't you go in the bathroom, or should have
- 26:36heard it three times as loud if it was in
- 26:38the bathroom. Is an echo chamber, isn't it? It's the
- 26:43most Why would they still why would you put a
- 26:47toilet inside the most echoiest room in the world. Is
- 26:57if anything, you'd think that it'd be the most soundproofed room.
- 27:04But no, See, if i'd have had Vinnie, I could
- 27:10have just kind of got him to sit on my
- 27:12lap and just let some out, hopefully not too loud,
- 27:19and blame it on him, so I could do hold
- 27:23the whole overacting that oh Vinny, and I could be
- 27:26sticking my head out the window. Oh, I can't believe
- 27:29you just did that. I'd have to remember that it
- 27:34wasn't me that just fired. Because I'm so used to
- 27:37being on my own, living my own life and not
- 27:40having anyone else around, So I'd have to remember not
- 27:45to act like I normally do when I do a
- 27:47really smelly fart, which was the same pretty much, but
- 27:51sticking my ass out of the window. That wouldn't have
- 27:55looked so good with it on a first date, Oh, Vinnie,
- 28:02Oh wait a minute, I'll messed up here, so would
- 28:08have been really handy. But he wasn't born, so it
- 28:11couldn't happen. But I did have Andre. But he wouldn't.
- 28:16He wouldn't, he wouldn't fart. I asked him. He just refused.
- 28:23He's he was all over anyway. He loved he loved women.
- 28:27Andre did, like Vinnie proper, a woman's man, women's man. Yeah,
- 28:34I don't know what if you call it. He loves women,
- 28:37he loves he likes humans. He tolerates me. He loves women.
- 28:44He's got like one too. He's got two girlfriends in
- 28:51this stortle area here. He's got his mum and he's
- 28:54got his nanny treats, so he's got all these people
- 28:58that he absolutely know women and he loves them. She's
- 29:03got a real thing for women. And all the you know,
- 29:05the dog walkers will go to the men, but he'll
- 29:08go for the women if you can. He's just a
- 29:12proper little charm my hears website branding let Me Boy
- 29:20to Sleep dot com is including given direct visibility to
- 29:23your site, balance layout, the centered text for the background art,
- 29:27keeping simple and uncluttered, missing podcast brand title. The usual
- 29:36template has let Me Boy to Sleep at the top.
- 29:39Here it's replaced by a website at the bottom. This
- 29:42could weaken consistent branding. Okay, dook normally use a corner
- 29:49badge with the episode number, another badge with music. Because
- 29:53I've been working on a template. You see these are
- 29:56absent while the you are. It is good for promotion.
- 30:01The pink on pink lower background makes it slightly less
- 30:04visible compared to a usual dark bar at the bottom
- 30:07at the top, so it is recommendations for consistency with
- 30:11your saved template, I'd suggest put let Me Boy to
- 30:14Sleep at the top, keep main topic title in the
- 30:17middle as is, add episode number, etc. Of the badge,
- 30:23add the with music without music badge. If you want
- 30:27the website, place it neatly at the bottom in a
- 30:29smaller contrasting color. Oh I'm going to see say yes.
- 30:34They said do you want me to build this? And
- 30:36I put yes. So I'm playing around with trying to
- 30:42get it to build me a template, and then when
- 30:48the template is I can just add the new image,
- 30:52like a square image to the template. And I'm also
- 30:57going to have maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but
- 31:02someday also have it on the image, whether it's without music,
- 31:11with music five or ten hours, so that you can
- 31:15sort of see before without them to read the title
- 31:20and stuff. So yeah, in fact, that would make it
- 31:25a little bit easier. Yeah, what wouldn't it. Yeah, in fact,
- 31:38I could perhaps get away without it and writing it down.
- 31:41But I don't know. So that's kind of the plan.
- 31:47I'd like to get some kind of automated system. I
- 31:54think that would be the problem with the automated system
- 31:59is the main problem is I don't know how to
- 32:02do it. I've watched some videos on YouTube and I
- 32:08have looked into it, but it's a little bit complicated
- 32:12for me, and I don't know. I don't know it'd be.
- 32:20It's not that I don't want to what you're doing.
- 32:26This has changed. It's not sticking let me bore you
- 32:30to sleep. It's not sticking to what it's said. See now,
- 32:34let me bore you to sleep. Now it's got larger.
- 32:41I suppose it's discussing. All right, I see, I'm not
- 32:53sure it looks Is this too busy though, That's what
- 32:59I'm going to say, Is this too busy? Because quite
- 33:04a lot in one image. I think the idea is
- 33:06to make it as simple as possible, and I'm not sure.
- 33:12I've looked at the updated image, and here's my take.
- 33:16Branding is clear episode focus, clear badges, music, bright and
- 33:22catchy eyes. Yeah, but there's the same color, so I
- 33:24don't know about that. Websites needly at the bottom possible
- 33:28issue business. Having all four elements main titled or whatever
- 33:34does make it feel a little crowded compared to previous
- 33:36simplified version. On small thumblows like spots, Spotify and Apple podcasts,
- 33:43the badges and website texts may look like extra clutter.
- 33:48Keep just one badge episode or music version. So I
- 33:54think I'll probably go with the music version and move
- 34:00the website address from there as well. Yeah, so okay,
- 34:09So so I think I'm going to do this, and
- 34:26so I'm going to remove, remove the website you are
- 34:32ol remove and keep just one badge so music version.
- 34:46See what happens there, because I think it would be
- 34:49it needs to be sorted out. I'm doing this. I'm
- 34:52being very lazy because it's a bit of a cheat, really,
- 34:56isn't it, because I'm making this recording, but actually I'm
- 35:00working on my images while i'm talking to you. But
- 35:04I am talking to you about making the images. So
- 35:09maybe that's what this is about. Monday's boarding objects is
- 35:13making images. When I first started making podcasts back in
- 35:24two thousand and six, making videos and stuff, what I
- 35:31would do is I would just use the image of
- 35:36me from the camera, the webcamera, the webcamra actually the
- 35:44other time. And I'm just trying, honestly, I'm trying to
- 35:52remember how I made the images all those years ago?
- 36:01How did I make images? I genuinely cannot remember how
- 36:12I did them because canvas didn't exist. I'm going to
- 36:19have to search how did YouTubers create images? Eighteen years ago,
- 36:35let's say the term YouTube went mainstream. In these early
- 36:45influences began hack ca and YouTube decorated the most viral. Okay,
- 36:48I never managed to hack anything. How do we make
- 36:52the images? It's not telling me that. It's just going
- 36:59on about you YouTube. I think when did YouTube? I
- 37:09think I just basically took an image from the recording
- 37:18the video. But I must have made some images at
- 37:21some point. I mean, you know, apart from the last
- 37:26ten years, but even ten years ago. How did it
- 37:29make images ten years ago? There must it's such a
- 37:36long time ago. But it's not that long ago, so
- 37:41I must have done something. Create? How did create images
- 37:50fifteen years ago? Images have been created for over fifteen years.
- 37:57What it's all about the first photograph in eighteen twenty six. No, no,
- 38:04I mean I wasn't using professional software. I don't think
- 38:11to make my images. How did I create? How did
- 38:20I create? I don't know create podcast images. I'm just
- 38:30having to look graphic design software tools that are available
- 38:35at the time. What was available at the time podcasts
- 38:39would have used softwares like Adobe Express, which allowed them
- 38:43to create and edit images and a user friendly's interface.
- 38:49And ah, really is that what I used? Then? Maybe
- 38:59I didn't make meybe I did. Maybe that seems a
- 39:03bit weird. How has that gone out of my head?
- 39:10Unless I just did use Adobe? Perhaps I did? Hm hmm,
- 39:19I mean I use an editing software. I mean I imagine
- 39:28I would have just taken an image that made a
- 39:32video and just use that image for like saved it
- 39:39as like a podcast shaped image. But I've been making
- 39:44images for a long long time, long before AI, you know,
- 39:51did all this stuff, and long before Canva or that.
- 39:54I've been using Canada for a long time. So before
- 40:00chat ept and all these things came along, I was
- 40:05so I had to have a little break because ny
- 40:08was muddykin muddykin. It's weirdly weird. I can't remember, but
- 40:18I do remember. I started using Canva probably probably seven
- 40:28eight years ago. How long has Canva been around? How
- 40:36Canva been around twelve years? So I've been using maybe
- 40:44I've been using it for twelve years. I used to
- 40:47use it for free. Now I pay. I think it's
- 40:53I don't know. I don't know how much a month
- 40:55it is, twelve pound a month something, because I use
- 40:58it every day and I use it for multiple things.
- 41:01And there's certain things you can't do, like background, can't
- 41:07remove a background and unless it's paid, and to be fair,
- 41:11you couldn't do that before. It's amazing how it's changed
- 41:15and improved over the years. See if I look at
- 41:20some of my really old images, if I go back,
- 41:30I say old. But podcast images, YouTube images, podcast peep,
- 41:39Where does pee podcast images. Right, Wow, I've got here
- 41:47a fold up with seven hundred and twenty two images. Blimey,
- 41:54that's a lot, isn't it, especially if they're all different.
- 41:57Some of them are different, some of them are just
- 41:59cop but there's a lot, a lot. So I'm just
- 42:07looking at some of the ones going back to the
- 42:12earlier days of doing this. Let me boy to sleep.
- 42:19Oh okay, let's have a look. Let's have a look.
- 42:24I'm thinking maybe like let me boys sleep two hundred
- 42:34or something like that. Nope, oh, four ninety four. I
- 42:44know this is the different thing. No, this is hypnosis stuff,
- 42:52bloody hypnosis. It gets everywhere. Oh no, it's nine hundred
- 42:57and eighty five. That's no good. I find one from
- 43:01kind of pre twenty nineteen, when I was probably up
- 43:08to I don't know, five hundred, four hundred, Relax, relax, relax,
- 43:21nine ninety three. Nope, that's no good. Four ninety three. Nope. Okay,
- 43:31So let me bore, let me bore. It's all older ones.
- 43:44Why why I don't understand. I mean, even this one. No,
- 43:53it's eleventh thirteenth of January twenty twenty three, was number
- 43:59one nine, one hundred and fifty three, So Vinny, no barking,
- 44:08please mate us enough, You've done your barking no more, okay, okay,
- 44:16good boy? Umm oh six hundred and eighty two. So
- 44:27this is the first of July twenty twenty one, six
- 44:35hundred and eighty two. I was a picture and of
- 44:51happy anniversary Kevin and Vanessa. Wow, that was nice to me.
- 44:57So that was an image that I did from a
- 44:59poutgraph off. I put pictures together about shaking Stevens. It
- 45:10was some of the stuff. It was just an image
- 45:14that I found on nine maybe, and then I added
- 45:18stuff to it. So I've got nine hundred and thirty
- 45:22nine let me boy to sleep ouch. And it was
- 45:27from the twenty fourth of December twoenty twenty two. So
- 45:32basically it's me. It's me when I fractured my back
- 45:39and I fell down the stairs. And this is a
- 45:45weird one, okay, because you know where they put you. Basically,
- 45:50I had do you know the road you put on
- 45:52when you're about to get an X ray, But it
- 45:57only does up. It only does like one side or
- 46:01doesn't do it like if you put it in through
- 46:03the front, your bum shows. So I had to have
- 46:07two on I got another one the other sides. That
- 46:10kind of covers both sides of me, and for some reason,
- 46:18bearing in mind, I've been waiting for probably twelve and
- 46:21a half hours, so I look a bit rough, to
- 46:24be honest, and probably the same as normal. Really, I
- 46:28could have just got up. That's probably. I probably look
- 46:33at the same there there as what I do now,
- 46:35except two years older, three three nearly three years older.
- 46:43So there's a picture of me. I remember I asked
- 46:47someone who was also waiting for a an X ray,
- 46:51who was m I scan or whatever, which is a
- 46:55little bit probably probably wasn't the right thing to do, actually,
- 47:03but I asked someone to take a photograph of me
- 47:07on my camera on my phone, and they did, and
- 47:10it's very well lit because it's a hospital, and there's
- 47:13a picture of me holding her doing just doing a
- 47:17little twelve in this dress thing, and it's in a
- 47:26picture frame and with a word, a big ouch word,
- 47:30a bit like the old Batman TV show, like boom
- 47:35woof ouch. It's that kind of sound. So that's the
- 47:44kind of images I was putting together. Yeah, probably wasn't
- 47:50very considerately, was it really to asking someone to do that? Whoops?
- 47:58I've lived here nearly a years, so this was the
- 48:03eighteenth of what oh man, what's it going on? There
- 48:18was a particular I was just looking at a picture,
- 48:20but I've lost it. There was a particular image that
- 48:28I really liked. Is I went through this little phase
- 48:31where I'm putting together quite funny images. But it really
- 48:36was a bit of a slog doing it. It took
- 48:47ages and ages and ages sometimes. Right, what do I
- 48:53want to do? If you sought by view group by oh,
- 49:04sort by image, I want an image far type? Okay, type.
- 49:16That's weird. It looks to me like I've lost a
- 49:20lot of images, which it's not that weird really. I mean,
- 49:25I've lost so much stuff over the years. I haven't
- 49:29saved them. Why haven't I saved them? Though? I wonder
- 49:35if it's got two hundred lit like number two hundred,
- 49:42and see if I could find because number two hundred
- 49:45would be probably twoy nineteen. I reckon two hundred, two hundred, No,
- 49:55what about three hundred, three hundred, three hundred Nope, no
- 50:07images four hundred, so no images for the first four hundred.
- 50:12Speaker 6: Wow, oh no, oh.
- 50:35Speaker 1: Five hundred nope. This is going to take me past
- 50:50twenty nineteen. Surely nope, not even six hundred seven hundred
- 51:03do do do do do? No? Oh well, I can't
- 51:12find any, but there was some good images. So what
- 51:17I used to do back in the day, it's not
- 51:23that long ago, not like a really long time, And
- 51:37I try and figure out what it is I spoke about,
- 51:41because sometimes it might be hard to believe. But sometimes
- 51:49I will finish a recording and I won't know what
- 51:54I've really discussed. As I said, very hard to really
- 52:00believe that, but yeah, it's kind of true. And sometimes
- 52:12I really rack my brains trying to remember some kind
- 52:19of detail, something that will capture the essence of the
- 52:29entirety of the recording, the first of all for a
- 52:32title and then for an image, so you know, I
- 52:41can maybe work on the image from the title. For example,
- 52:48if it's I'm talking about I used to work in
- 52:54insurance or I worked in a chip shop. I don't
- 52:59know if anyone knows that about me, I used to
- 53:01work in a chip shop, and I could do an
- 53:06image of me working in the chip shop. I mean,
- 53:12it's not I don't know how good it would be,
- 53:17but you know, saying so I'm just distracted by all
- 53:21the noise outside. Why if they can't make so much noise?
- 53:28No volume control, That's what it is. No volume control.
- 53:33Oh and I'm just trying to think. Ah uh, I
- 53:52don't know why there's so much Oh, okay, what what goes? Okay?
- 54:12I can't. Some of the stuff on Facebook is just
- 54:15really ridiculous. It's just really really ridiculous. Did you know
- 54:33that Jason Bateman was Jason Bateman was in Little House
- 54:38on a Prairie. No way, I know. He was in
- 54:44teen Wolf two. Jason Bateman. Jason Bateman. See, he's a
- 54:55weird one. He's fifty six years old. I'm sure. I mean,
- 55:02i'd whether you agree with me or not. He has
- 55:03been around forever. And I don't mean yeah, he's been
- 55:07around for fifty six years. He's slightly older than me.
- 55:11He's seven months, no, nine months older than me, But no,
- 55:21seven months older than me. No. January sixty nine, January seventy. No,
- 55:30he's a year and seven months older than me. Vinet
- 55:36has fired again. He appeared in several commercials for Golden
- 55:44Grahams in nineteen eighty and began his television career on
- 55:48Little House in a Prairie as James Cooper, an orphan
- 55:52boy who, along with his sister, is adopted by the
- 55:56Ingalls family. From eighty two to ninety eighty four, he
- 56:00was a supporting character on the television show Silver Spoons
- 56:05as Ricky Schroeder's bad boy best friend Derek Taylor, who
- 56:11also appeared in night Rider and Okay, the show's He's
- 56:25had his first starring role as Matthew Burton on the
- 56:29sitcom It's Your Move from eighty four to eighty five.
- 56:37In eighty seven, he peered with Burt Reynolds on Men's
- 56:40Team in the inaugural week of game show Win, Lose,
- 56:45or Draw. See, that's what I'm saying. They've missed out
- 56:52a big bit the Hogan family. I remember that so yeah,
- 57:09because he was in Team Wolf two because I don't
- 57:15know why what's his name didn't want to do another
- 57:18Team Wolf. But he kind of seemed to be another version,
- 57:24well not another version, but like a similar kind of
- 57:27character to Michael J. Fox in a sense of they
- 57:32were both in teen Wolf movies. And also because although
- 57:39that was a failure apart according to this but leave
- 57:43the Team Wolf two alone. But he also was in
- 57:48a sitcom because you know Michael J. Fox was in
- 57:54I don't remember the name of the sitcom anyone my
- 57:59family or or family something family Ties. Wow, don't tell me.
- 58:05Have I really know if I remembered something really pointless
- 58:12family Ties and don't know. I'm not looking on the screen.
- 58:15I didn't cheat. I didn't I promise you Family Ties.
- 58:21Who was in it? Michael J. Fox? Yeah, and see
- 58:27I remember this bit as well. So who we were
- 58:32looking at? Jason Bateman and let's have a look. Who
- 58:38is his? Has he got a brother or a sister? Oh,
- 58:43he's got a sister, Justine Bateman. And Justine Bateman was
- 58:53in Family Ties New Family Ties, So I remember that
- 59:05I do Family Ties. I like family Tires. The weird
- 59:14thing about it is I don't remember. So it started
- 59:20in eighty two and finishing eighty nine. I used to
- 59:24watch it in the early eighties. The thing is, what
- 59:28you might not know about the UK of England, Britain,
- 59:32part of the Commonwealth, is used to be part of Europe,
- 59:37is that with American TV shows, we were always really
- 59:47late getting them, always sometimes like six months, if not longer,
- 59:53behind in seeing the TV shows. So how it worked
- 1:00:00out in a weird way, and it was very strange.
- 1:00:04We'd be watching your Christmas version of Cheers or Rosanne
- 1:00:10or Golden Girls, for example, we'd watch the Christmas version
- 1:00:17in the summer because we were out of sync as
- 1:00:26far as I'm aware, because now with Netflix and I
- 1:00:32don't know about normal TV because I don't really watch
- 1:00:34much of it, but we kind of caught up. And
- 1:00:40it's not really I don't think there's really any any
- 1:00:46reason to have different dates for different years, you know,
- 1:00:51as far as I mean, I'm not talking about having
- 1:00:54everyone do the date the right way has in like
- 1:00:56the day first, then the month, then year. Of course,
- 1:01:00that would make that just help, wouldn't it help for
- 1:01:05help everyone to be perfect. But they've got their reasons.
- 1:01:14I mean, like Sky or even Netflix. There was a
- 1:01:18time Netflix would just keep adding shows and keep adding shows.
- 1:01:22Now they take them off. They still add new shows,
- 1:01:26but they take off shows. I'm guessing it's because they
- 1:01:33haven't got enough room. That's what I think. And here's
- 1:01:42another question, and it maybe it's just my internet, maybe
- 1:01:47it's just my television, maybe it's just my eyes. But
- 1:01:53what I've noticed is that Netflix has got the worst
- 1:02:00picture out of all the streaming services unless you pay
- 1:02:05the full price of seventeen pounds a month, which I'm
- 1:02:11not going to pay seventeen pounds a month. Seventeen pound
- 1:02:16a month if I get all the streaming channels at
- 1:02:18the same time Netflix cost. This is UK UK per month.
- 1:02:30UK Basic plan is five ninety nine. That's with adverts.
- 1:02:40Standard plan is nine ninety nine.
- 1:02:49Speaker 4: What right?
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: So additionally, the standard standard plan with adverts has recently
- 1:02:58increased from four nine to nine to five ninety one. Okay,
- 1:03:04so it's now five ninety nine. Yeah, Standard plan without
- 1:03:09adverts has changed from ten ninety nine to twelve ninety nine.
- 1:03:16And the Premium plan, which is sly I think that's
- 1:03:27for HD. I think is it me? You might say
- 1:03:36it is, might not be. Shouldn't HD just be based
- 1:03:42upon the TV if you've got an HTV Ready TV
- 1:03:49or four K whatever, then it kind of makes sense that.
- 1:03:56I don't know. If I'm not a business, I'm not
- 1:03:58a streamer stream movies and TV shows, but I'd want
- 1:04:05to give the best customer service possible and give the
- 1:04:10best picture quality possible all the time. Just I don't know,
- 1:04:20it just makes sense. Not I'm not having to go
- 1:04:22at them. I mean, I love them all, but it
- 1:04:26makes sense to why would you offer a reduced quality
- 1:04:31service because you're paying less money. I've got the real
- 1:04:35prices now. Five ninety nine is the cheapest membership as
- 1:04:39inn ad supported tier that allows subscribers to watch on
- 1:04:44one device at a time with no downloads available. That
- 1:04:50I mean it used to be four ninety nine. Okay,
- 1:04:53it's a few years ago. For everything. It used to
- 1:04:58be just one price, I think, think, but I think
- 1:05:03they might have offered like an extra prise to have
- 1:05:05more devices if I remember, like a couple of pound extra.
- 1:05:09So then there's twelve pound ninety nine a month standard subscription.
- 1:05:16Viewers can watch in HD on two devices at a time,
- 1:05:25and that's without adverts. So that's what I've got, I'm
- 1:05:31not The reason I've got it is to be fair,
- 1:05:36is because the boxing was on and there was no
- 1:05:39charge for the boxing, so it was worth paying the
- 1:05:43money to get Netflix because a pay per view fight
- 1:05:48is often like twenty quid if not more, So you
- 1:05:52know that's why they that's why they're putting the boxing
- 1:05:55on for free on Netflix so that people will subscribe,
- 1:05:58I guess, and then you've got eighteen pound ninety nine
- 1:06:03eighteen pounds nineteen pound per month premium subscription viewers can
- 1:06:11watch in ultra high definition where available. That's the big one,
- 1:06:19where available on four devices at a time. I just
- 1:06:27I don't know, what do you think? It just seems
- 1:06:30a little bit excessive, man, nineteen pound ninety can we
- 1:06:41say it all together? Nineteen pound nearly twenty pound just
- 1:06:46for Netflix. I saw a video the other day on
- 1:06:56YouTube saying that you can get all of the Okay
- 1:07:10stream all stream everything for one price, stream everything for
- 1:07:21one price, the videos you're playing from, and that that's
- 1:07:34what I want. I want just everything for just one price,
- 1:07:43so if I want to, because even Amazon has started
- 1:07:45doing it. You know, you used to have Amazon and
- 1:07:47you'd have all these different things connected to Amazon. Now
- 1:07:50Amazon's broken up into like HBO Max and Paramount Plus
- 1:07:58and all these different channels. Like really, really, dear Jason,
- 1:08:08I've noticed lately your podcasts has just been you moaning
- 1:08:11about things. I was wondering if you could sort this
- 1:08:14out and get back to talking nicely and be in
- 1:08:17a bit more positive. Thank you very much. Long time listener,
- 1:08:21Turah Okay blimey. I'm just the thing is in the UK.
- 1:08:31What's this card do with making images?
- 1:08:35Speaker 7: Oh?
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: Come on streaming a thing for one price UK Amazon Prime.
- 1:08:50Because I'd like to have all the Sky channels. I
- 1:08:55mean I subscribed to all the sports channels on Sky
- 1:09:01for Uncle's sausages. I ended up signing up for a
- 1:09:05six month contract. I don't watch any of the sport
- 1:09:11on Sky anymore. I would if there was boxing, but
- 1:09:14they really have any boxing they you know they haven't.
- 1:09:18There's no boxing contract with Sky anymore, which means I'm
- 1:09:24literally paying twenty six pounds a month for nothing for
- 1:09:29six months. I mean it was used for a couple
- 1:09:34of weeks, you know, so I can't moan about that,
- 1:09:38but it's it would have cost a lot more if
- 1:09:42I'd done it. I should have just done it monthly,
- 1:09:46but I was being optimistic. I just just didn't want
- 1:09:50to do it for one month. I don't know why,
- 1:09:52but I just just didn't feel right. See UK Apple
- 1:10:04TV Watch Now there's got to be a streaming service
- 1:10:08where I can just watch everything. I don't know what
- 1:10:19Finnie's doing. He's searching, searching, He's always looking for a
- 1:10:24way to be naughty. You're looking for a way to
- 1:10:31be naughty, aren't you. Anny compare TV and movie streaming services,
- 1:10:39so this is the best Amazon Prime Video. I'm on
- 1:10:44Amazon Prime Video because I basically pay for Amazon Prime anyway,
- 1:10:54So it's just, you know, I get my Amazon I
- 1:10:59get Amazon deliveries, so it's not really it doesn't cost
- 1:11:04me anything extra for the videos because I use Amazon
- 1:11:09for deliveries. That's what I'm trying to say. You just
- 1:11:13said it twice. I know Skystore so you can buy
- 1:11:20films individually, No thanks, Generally Netflix arely gone through them.
- 1:11:26Discovery Plus the basic is three pound ninety nine three
- 1:11:33if you're a Sky TV subscriber or ETV so I'm not,
- 1:11:39or including TNT Sports thirty pound ninety nine. Wow, Disney
- 1:11:45Plus standard with adverts again, never used to do that.
- 1:11:49Just used to be a good price. Used to be
- 1:11:53about five pounds a month, just standard, and now they've
- 1:11:56changed it. So with adds four ninety nine a month
- 1:12:01without ads eight ninety nine a month, or Premium twelve
- 1:12:09ninety nine a month, Apple TV eight ninety nine a month. Really,
- 1:12:19I mean they don't well, first of all, you can't.
- 1:12:25Apple TV is it's kind of limited. They've got their
- 1:12:28own stuff, haven't they. But it's not like you can
- 1:12:31go on there and you've got infinite amounts of things
- 1:12:34to watch. I mean, I imagine in the future if
- 1:12:38they keep buying stuff, you know, they keep making new
- 1:12:40shows and stuff, it will be great. And there is
- 1:12:43some really good stuff on there. There is but eight
- 1:12:50ninety nine a month, and you've got ITVX Premium five
- 1:12:55ninety nine a month, which I will be signing up
- 1:12:58to because Big Brother starts next Sunday. Ah, Big Brother,
- 1:13:06and I think it's going to be the longest ever
- 1:13:09serious yeah, ah, it are honestly so, the twenty eighth Sunday,
- 1:13:23the twenty eighth of September, a new breath of fresh
- 1:13:29air life is breathed into my soul for a little while.
- 1:13:34I love Big Brother. I've got a friend who I
- 1:13:38only talk to and Big Brother's on It's true. We
- 1:13:42contact each other all the time, every day by text,
- 1:13:47sometimes on the phone between any adverts and stuff for
- 1:13:51the entirety of Big Brother, and then we don't talk
- 1:13:54to each other, contact each other at all the rest
- 1:13:56of the time. So this happens two times year for
- 1:14:02two or three weeks at a time. It's weird. It's
- 1:14:08kind of weird. I quite like that relationship actually, because
- 1:14:12there's a reason for it, and I like there being
- 1:14:15a reason for things. Mooby does anyone know what Mooby is?
- 1:14:24I don't know. Mooby eleven ninety nine a month, or
- 1:14:29Moby go with a weekly semi semony seat seminar cinema
- 1:14:36ticket eighteen ninety nine. I got no idea what that is.
- 1:14:42TNT Sports Nope, not interested. Sky Sports a twenty four
- 1:14:49month contract, No, I don't do that. You know what,
- 1:14:58why don't I get sky TV? When it work out
- 1:15:02cheaper than all these different other things I'm going. So
- 1:15:07I've got now Sports. That's what I'd got. So it's
- 1:15:11thirty four pound ninety nine a month. It's fourteen ninety
- 1:15:17nine for one day used to be nine ninety nine
- 1:15:22or eight ninety nine. At one point, fourteen ninety nine
- 1:15:25for just one day of sport. It's ridiculous. And that
- 1:15:29does not cover pay per view events. Thirty four pound
- 1:15:36ninety nine a month or twenty six pound a month
- 1:15:40for six month savor membership, which is what I did
- 1:15:45for Uncle Sausages. Now he already had Sky, but he
- 1:15:51didn't know what the password was in order to log
- 1:15:54into the laptop, so I just Now Sports for him.
- 1:16:04I also got Now Entertainment and now Cinema six months
- 1:16:08for each of those as well, because I wanted him
- 1:16:13to pretty much have everything, so I signed up with Netflix,
- 1:16:18which I've not not signed up. I joined Netflix again subscribed,
- 1:16:23but I wasn't with Netflix at the time. I just
- 1:16:27wanted him to have a choice, so I did. I
- 1:16:29got my iPad and deleted everything off of it apart
- 1:16:36from just the whatever you want to call them. The
- 1:16:41apps on the screen were just for you know, sports
- 1:16:50channels and movies TV and also for Netflix as well.
- 1:17:08But it kept just it didn't work out, but still
- 1:17:11I gave it a try. I did my best, and
- 1:17:14sometimes what you can do is your best. Now Cinema
- 1:17:19nine ninety nine a month or six ninety nine a
- 1:17:23month with six months save a membership thirteen ninety nine
- 1:17:28a month with six month Entertainment and Cinema bundle. Now,
- 1:17:34what I'm going to say about now TV, so basically
- 1:17:38now is the it's the app version of Sky. So
- 1:17:44for those that don't sign up for Sky, like a
- 1:17:47twenty four month contract and stuff, and I'd still be
- 1:17:51with Sky if they didn't put up the prices. So
- 1:17:56when I moved in here, I got Sky andre a
- 1:18:00little baby still because I remember when the bloke turned up.
- 1:18:05Why didn't I get a decent TV. I don't know,
- 1:18:08but I had this little TV. It wasn't tiny, but
- 1:18:12it was still. I still should have had a bigger TV.
- 1:18:14Really considering having like this package of movies and TV
- 1:18:20shows for the first time ever in my life, it
- 1:18:23was brilliant. But they gave me this big discount. And
- 1:18:30then when the contract ran out, which was maybe it
- 1:18:33was either a year or eighteen months or something like that,
- 1:18:37they put the pride. They hiked the prices up. Why
- 1:18:40is it called hike in I suppose because people climb
- 1:18:43up a mountain, so they they mountaineered the prices really high.
- 1:18:56It wasn't double the amount, but it was like, this
- 1:19:00is ridiculous, and I said, look, I've been with you
- 1:19:02for years, with internet and with telephone. You know, I
- 1:19:07don't know if I had, but if I had, I
- 1:19:09would have said that, but I might not have said
- 1:19:13it because I might not have done so I made
- 1:19:15that little bit up. But I think it would make
- 1:19:18sense if if the circumstances were correct, that would have
- 1:19:22made sense to say that. But they wouldn't drop the price.
- 1:19:28I said please. They said no. I said please, They
- 1:19:34said don't. It's just saying it louder. Just repeating it
- 1:19:36and saying it louder, does it not to make any difference.
- 1:19:39I said, oh, okay, I'm going to cancel. And I
- 1:19:41said okay. Then I said no, when I say cancel,
- 1:19:46you're supposed to try and talk me out of it
- 1:19:48and give me a cheaper price. They said no, I
- 1:19:51can't do that. Oh. So, yeah, it's a shame. I
- 1:20:01really liked it because a good thing about Sky TV
- 1:20:05is I guess it's the same now I could pause
- 1:20:09live television on Sky so if I needed to go
- 1:20:13do a you know, a we wi or a poop,
- 1:20:21I could, or make a cup of tea, or answer
- 1:20:25the door, answer the phone, you know, during a live broadcast,
- 1:20:34I could, And I quite liked that. Now there is
- 1:20:37a limit to it, and I'm going back nine nine years,
- 1:20:43so it's a while back. If you leave it on
- 1:20:46pause for too long, you lose that. But it was
- 1:20:50still cool. You know, it's a certain amount of time
- 1:20:53you can pause it. So it's a shame. But say
- 1:21:00in that now TV is the equivalent. Is basically got
- 1:21:05Sky Sports, Sky Movies, sky TV everything that you get
- 1:21:12pretty much on Sky, but it's on now TV. Now.
- 1:21:22When you go to cancel, they offer you a deal.
- 1:21:28I'm like Sky did when I went to cancel. They
- 1:21:32actually offer you. They don't want you to leave the
- 1:21:35app so much friendlier. It's, oh, do you see where
- 1:21:41you're going? Where do you want to go? Why don't
- 1:21:43you stay stick around for a little bit longer? And
- 1:21:47I mean, no, no, it's too much. You know, now
- 1:21:52Entertainment it's nine ninety nine a month, and I don't know.
- 1:21:56I don't want that. I said, well, you know, you
- 1:21:58could just pay Firsen ninety nine a month, but for
- 1:22:02six months. I said, no, you're right, I don't want
- 1:22:06to pay six months. Are you sure? What about all
- 1:22:10these things you're going to miss? There's all these programs
- 1:22:13you haven't watched. I said, no, don't care. Are you
- 1:22:17sure you still want to cancel? I said, yeah, okay,
- 1:22:21I'll tell you what I'll do for you. I will
- 1:22:24give you for the thirteen ninety nine was for the
- 1:22:31both the Entertainment and Cinema bundle. Otherwise that wouldn't have
- 1:22:35made sense. So why would I pay more? I said,
- 1:22:39I'll do. I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll give
- 1:22:42you now entertainment like all of the TV shows for
- 1:22:46just four ninety nine a month for the next three
- 1:22:50months or six months. So it's gone down from nine
- 1:22:57ninety nine a month to thirteen ninety thirteen ninety nine
- 1:23:03a month for two down to four ninety nine a month,
- 1:23:08which would mean you get two for five for less
- 1:23:11than ten pounds. It's like, uh, go on, you know
- 1:23:17you want to Okay, I've been you know. I guess
- 1:23:24I'm just a sucker for love. I really felt loved
- 1:23:27by the app, you know, I could feel that positive
- 1:23:32energy squirting out of the Where would it square out
- 1:23:39of I don't know wh would square out of the computer?
- 1:23:46Maybe the phone. So in the past I've done that
- 1:23:51where it's offered now entertainment and now cinema, and it's
- 1:23:58ended up costing me less than ten pound instead of
- 1:24:03what was costing me forwar, which is twenty pound. But
- 1:24:07then I'm stuck in a six month contract. But yeh,
- 1:24:15Netflix doesn't even attempt it you go to cancel Netflix.
- 1:24:20He said, are you sure? I said, yeah, said by
- 1:24:22then I say see ya. Sometimes even like to say
- 1:24:30see ya, I'm not going to missure. It's like what nothing,
- 1:24:36and you hear another voice they'll be back, like this
- 1:24:40is rude. They don't They don't put any effort into
- 1:24:43keeping people Netflix. In my experience in the UK, I'm
- 1:24:53pretty sure Netflix used to, like a decade ago or something,
- 1:24:58they used to sort of offer people maybe a discounted
- 1:25:03rate to stay. But ner Ner not now again with Disney,
- 1:25:18I think Disney is the same. I don't think it
- 1:25:21offers any kind of discounts. I might be wrong though.
- 1:25:25Apple TV I think it's just eight ninety nine a month,
- 1:25:29but you do get a seven day free trial, which
- 1:25:33is pretty cool. Amazon Video Prime Video you get a
- 1:25:37thirty day three trial, and it's in all fairness. I
- 1:25:44mean you got Prime Videos five ninety nine a month.
- 1:25:49Venice just fared a game. Wow, it's like really pungent.
- 1:25:55Oh Prime monthly including video streaming, Premium Deliver and Prime Video.
- 1:26:01Prime Video eight ninety nine a month. So the thing
- 1:26:09is eight ninety nine a month, which is nine ninety
- 1:26:15one hundred and ninety eight ninety nine. No, No, I
- 1:26:27didn't know this Amazon Prime annual sub including video streaming,
- 1:26:33premium delivery and Amazon Music ninety five pounds for the
- 1:26:39full year. I did not know that. No, I pay
- 1:26:51for Amazon Music separate. I'm an Amazon do I Is
- 1:26:58it Amazon or Apple Music? I don't even know. I
- 1:27:06don't know it's one of them. Amazon. I think it's
- 1:27:10Amazon Music, I use. I used to be on Spotify,
- 1:27:16you know, years ago, but I just find the layout
- 1:27:19of Amazon Music better, just preference for me. Unless it's
- 1:27:23Apple Music, I use. I've got no way of yes,
- 1:27:28I can wait a minute. If I go into my iPad,
- 1:27:32I can look it up and check, because otherwise that's
- 1:27:35going to really bug me. Really, So let's go to
- 1:27:44so apps, apps, apps, apps, apps? Where's the apps? Subscriptions? Sorry, subscriptions?
- 1:27:57Apple Music? So what was I looking at? Amazon? Amazon Music? Oh?
- 1:28:09I'm pretty sure you can get Apple TV and Apple
- 1:28:13Music like a discounted rate. I use Apple Music every
- 1:28:19single day. It's probably the one app I use the
- 1:28:23most now. I listened to it for hours with music
- 1:28:31classical music mainly, to be honest, And the two apps
- 1:28:36I used the most is Apple music and YouTube, and
- 1:28:41I've got YouTube Premium simply to get rid of the
- 1:28:44adverts because that is also my source of music as
- 1:28:49well as well as videos and stuff. And also listen, sadly,
- 1:28:55I listened to my own podcast on there. It's probably
- 1:28:59a little bit sad that I do. Apologize. I'm sorry.
- 1:29:05I didn't mean to. It wasn't my fault. Trodden best tried.
- 1:29:17You might like Apple one. Since you have Apple Music,
- 1:29:20you can bundle and get even more at a lower price. Okay,
- 1:29:26like what enjoy millions of songs, over two hundred games,
- 1:29:34Apple Original shows, and more and more on movies and
- 1:29:40more save when you bundle them together. Premiere what's Premier?
- 1:29:47Oh god, yeah, a family? Not family. I think Premier
- 1:29:50is kind of like share of everyone in the world. Maybe. Now,
- 1:29:57let me have a look at this. I need to
- 1:30:01upgrade my iCloud, which is going to cost me six
- 1:30:07ninety nine a month, so that's an extra four pound.
- 1:30:17Apple TV is eight ninety nine a month. Oh, with
- 1:30:30fifty gigabytes of storage. Fifty gigabytes. Let's just see how
- 1:30:36much storage I'm getting at the moment, shall we. I'm
- 1:30:48getting two hundred gigabytes of storage already, So that fifty
- 1:30:52gigabytes of storage isn't isn't particularly exciting what I nearly
- 1:30:56fell for That nearly fell for it, I did, So
- 1:31:00let's have a look start saving individual I Cloud with
- 1:31:09fifty plus Nope, family two hundred gigabytes of storage, Nope,
- 1:31:14it's no good for me. Apple Cloud two point seven. No,
- 1:31:20two terabytes of storage, that's good. But thirty six pound
- 1:31:31ninety five a month, thirty six pounds two So altogether
- 1:31:37thirty six pounds ninety five a month, a month a month. No, No,
- 1:31:47That's all I'm saying, is no, no, No, it's a
- 1:31:53little bit too much. So if I all I've got
- 1:31:57to do, if I eat, okay, if I need to
- 1:32:00increase my storage, it's too not it's two hundred gigabytes
- 1:32:07I've got on my iCloud. I can upgrade it to
- 1:32:12two terabytes and it'll be six pounds more a month,
- 1:32:18which is pretty much the best thing to do, I guess,
- 1:32:23because it's yeah, although I don't know all yeah do
- 1:32:42mm hmmmm. So I'm just oh, I have a little
- 1:33:01ting ting, So that's done. I'm currently using one hundred
- 1:33:07and ninety nine point four so hopefully it will start
- 1:33:10to kind of my eye cloud to start to get
- 1:33:18converted again. The thing is it's quite a hand While
- 1:33:26it's not handy, it's necessary to have an eye cloud
- 1:33:31because of using the iPhone and the iPad, especially with
- 1:33:38all the different recordings and the images and all the
- 1:33:40different things I use. So I'm just going to look
- 1:33:47at this. What is this? Mooby? Wait a minute, let's
- 1:33:50have a look Netflix, Discovery, Disney, Mooby. I seem to
- 1:33:56have started talking about TV streaming. What did I start
- 1:34:00talking about images that hasn't kind of worked out?
- 1:34:06Speaker 4: Is it?
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: That's a bit strange? Mobe go Browse Notebook Notebook magazine
- 1:34:17about Okay now showing on movie Hot Milk Okay. Oh,
- 1:34:29I think it's kind of indie filmmakers. We believe cinema
- 1:34:35should be viewed on screens of all shapes and sizes.
- 1:34:38Our creators scour film festivals for the most exciting and
- 1:34:45original new films, which we bring to the big screen
- 1:34:52with the same care and attention we give to our
- 1:34:56created platform. So I am it looks to me like
- 1:35:10it's a film I'd say film buff, but it was
- 1:35:18someone that really really loves movies as in independent, independently
- 1:35:26made movies, which I never I'm neither one way or
- 1:35:32the other with this because I some of the great
- 1:35:37movies were low budget independent movies, and no I can't
- 1:35:46name one. I can't. No, wait a minute, what was
- 1:35:51the Yeah, I can give me two seconds. I'll think
- 1:35:56of a movie there was low budget and independent and
- 1:36:00a surprise hit. Also, it's worth remembering, not for any
- 1:36:06particular reason, but just for the sake of this particular conversation.
- 1:36:11Sometimes a big movie star will work in a movie
- 1:36:20or act in a movie just for the love of cinema.
- 1:36:27So instead of getting paid ten million dollars, they might
- 1:36:32just settle for the fees, you know, the costs, or
- 1:36:37maybe just do it for free and perhaps take a
- 1:36:41percentage of the profits if it's successful, which is more
- 1:36:45likely to be successful if it's got like a huge
- 1:36:51star in it. I guess, yeah, I don't know. I'm
- 1:37:02trying to think of a movie that was low budget.
- 1:37:06There's been loads, isn't there? So I probably missed anything
- 1:37:12by Steven Spielberg. Or I'm sure that his early things
- 1:37:18weren't high budget. Vinnie's begging me, what is it? You're
- 1:37:23begging me? For Vinnie. What is it? Baby? What is it?
- 1:37:29Speaker 8: Vin?
- 1:37:29Speaker 1: Are you okay?
- 1:37:30Speaker 4: Mate?
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: What is it? It's so funny when he does this.
- 1:37:34He's got it both. He's sitting in his bun, got
- 1:37:36both his hands up in the air. It's like a
- 1:37:38little rabbit. He's just looking at me, but his eyes
- 1:37:41are so bright and his face looking at it like really,
- 1:37:45there's a because right now he's now standing on my
- 1:37:49feet and he wants something, don't you you tell? Your
- 1:37:54tails wiggling, wobbling. What is it you want? Vinnie? What
- 1:37:58is it you want? What is it? Dulling? What is
- 1:38:03it you're looking over there? What is it you want? Baby?
- 1:38:10You are so cute, you know that, yes you are.
- 1:38:15But don't really have much to give you.
- 1:38:18Speaker 4: I can't get any.
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: T r e e e e e E t s
- 1:38:23until Wednesday. You're gonna have to make do without any
- 1:38:28for a few days. Well, it's just a couple of days,
- 1:38:30isn't it. We'll get by. You've got food in it.
- 1:38:36You've got food. You're not going without food there, No,
- 1:38:41you're not. No, You're not no anyway. And that brings
- 1:38:51me to the end of this Monday's bording objects, which
- 1:38:54ended up talking about streaming for some reason. Should I
- 1:39:05be a bit more organized? Perhaps, But isn't that part
- 1:39:16of the fun of literally not knowing what the next
- 1:39:25word coming out my mouth? Is not knowing what I'm
- 1:39:29going to talk about. Even though I decided to talk
- 1:39:33about images, I mean, technically I did talk about images
- 1:39:41in a sense of streaming services do provide images, but
- 1:39:47moving images.
- 1:39:50Speaker 9: All it is.
- 1:39:51Speaker 1: Isn't it just a collection of images? It's basically just
- 1:39:55glorified flip chart. Really, isn't it a movie? Yes? It is.
- 1:40:03So I'm going to go. Tomorrow is Trivia Tuesday. If
- 1:40:10you've got any really really random, weird ideas for tomorrow's
- 1:40:16Trivia Tuesday, then please just leave a message underneath this
- 1:40:22when I post it on my Jason Newland's Boring group,
- 1:40:28or you can just post it on there. Just post
- 1:40:30like idea for Trivia Tuesday. Obviously I can't do all
- 1:40:34of them, but I'll choose one. Yeah, So, if you're
- 1:40:41not a member of Jason Newlands Boring group on Facebook,
- 1:40:44please join. And there is a link on my website
- 1:40:46as well if you want to click on it. So
- 1:40:50thank you for listening, and remember to be kind to yourself.
- 1:40:54You deserve to be happy, and remember to be gentle
- 1:40:59with yourself because you deserve to feel safe. And when
- 1:41:04I say gentle, I mean internally gentle. As far as
- 1:41:09the things you say to yourself, I mean notice in
- 1:41:19the words you use about yourself, notice in the tone,
- 1:41:30and noticing how you feel from how you speak to
- 1:41:33yourself inside and how you think, and maybe start to
- 1:41:40realize how much nicer it is when you're being kind
- 1:41:45to yourself, when you're being gentle with yourself. So until tomorrow,
- 1:41:57lots of love, and for me and Bennie bye, relax
- 1:42:13in a more deep and meaningful way, maybe in a
- 1:42:24way that can not just allow you to feel calmer
- 1:42:33now and throughout the time we spend together here, not
- 1:42:43just relaxed at the end of the recording when it's
- 1:42:48finished and you can enjoy that sense of comfort and peace,
- 1:43:00but also I think it would be nice to have
- 1:43:13those feelings of relaxation continue for longer after the recording
- 1:43:30has ended, so that you can still benefit from listening
- 1:43:45to my voice, maybe in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow,
- 1:44:00and then by listening regularly, especially if you find like
- 1:44:08some people do and myself as well. Sometimes I find
- 1:44:12one particular recording that really resonates with me, and I
- 1:44:22just listen to it over and over again every morning,
- 1:44:27every evening. There was this recording from We're going back
- 1:44:40to about nineteen ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis, but it
- 1:44:46was a guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really,
- 1:44:53and I managed to find it again and it still
- 1:44:58has the same effect on me. And part of it
- 1:45:04was the person's voice relaxed me, just felt so peaceful,
- 1:45:21and I'd look forward to listening to her in the
- 1:45:28morning and in the evening, and I knew before even
- 1:45:39pressing the play button that since I've done that, pressed
- 1:45:47the play button. This is in the days of CD players,
- 1:46:00pressed the play button, ifact it might have even been
- 1:46:05a tap tape recorder. I'd lie down on the bed
- 1:46:10and then even without necessarily listening to her words because
- 1:46:28I had them memorized. Really, it was as if my
- 1:46:36body knew exactly what to do, and the muscles just
- 1:46:51almost went into automatic relaxation, and I remember my mind
- 1:47:12would slow down. Now. Now, I was listening to this
- 1:47:23recording in the early days of learning hypnosis, and long
- 1:47:32before I ever made any videos or audio recordings myself
- 1:47:42because I didn't start doing that till two thousand and six.
- 1:47:52I knew, I knew how helpful I found being able
- 1:48:08to just let go, to have that trust in the
- 1:48:18person that I'm listening to, knowing that it's going to
- 1:48:28be just as relaxing, if not more so. Each time
- 1:48:39you hear my voice, you may feel the same. Some
- 1:48:52people have been listening to me for over a decade,
- 1:49:07maybe not solidly, obviously not twenty four hours a day,
- 1:49:13but maybe people come back. Some people maybe listen every day.
- 1:49:31That's something that I do which you may not realize
- 1:49:39by listening, is when I record these recordings. Now for example, HM,
- 1:50:02I also am affected by the words that I say.
- 1:50:16So if I set to you focus on your feet,
- 1:50:24notice your feet relaxing. I will be focusing on my feet.
- 1:50:37I will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said
- 1:50:55focus on your hands, and maybe no, it is the
- 1:51:00difference between each hand. Perhaps notice the the air in
- 1:51:12the room, the temperature of the room, on the backs
- 1:51:17of your hands. You may start to notice what almost
- 1:51:29feels like a very light breeze, even though there may
- 1:51:37not be any type of breeze at all where you
- 1:51:42are right now. And as you become aware of your hands,
- 1:52:01I'm also aware of how relaxed my hands our feeling
- 1:52:15now and when it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep,
- 1:52:37which may be the reason you're listening, I also feel
- 1:52:50drowsy when I make these recordings. I also notice my
- 1:53:05mind drifting. In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep
- 1:53:27without even noticing. And then I carry on talking. And
- 1:53:41it's only where I listen back to do the editing.
- 1:53:50I hear snoring, and I think I don't remember snoring.
- 1:53:59I remember talking. Is this snoring was a pick turned up?
- 1:54:10That's why I sound like when I snaw. How I
- 1:54:18get really into the whole experience. I don't know how
- 1:54:31you feel. How relaxed do you feel in your feet,
- 1:54:44how relaxed you feel in your hands. I have noticed
- 1:55:09more and more that the more relaxed, deeper level of
- 1:55:26comfort you feel, the easier your breathing becomes. It's almost
- 1:55:43like that additional muscle relaxation. So this allows you the
- 1:56:04breve easier without necessarily focusing on your breath. However, being
- 1:56:30able to notice the ease in which you breathe so
- 1:56:59nat truly, you breathe so very easily and smoothly. Whenever
- 1:57:49I imagine my breathing improveing mm hmm. When I've got
- 1:58:06my eyes closed, I tend to visualize a beautiful field
- 1:58:25with trees and flowers producing all that life giving oxygen.
- 1:58:59I feel it was nice two if nothing else, just
- 1:59:14taking some time away from everything, enjoying that feeling of
- 1:59:52peace serenity with a joyful heart. Time seems to just
- 2:00:40drip by, so very slowly, relaxed, so deeply peaceful, completely
- 2:01:30unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free,
- 2:02:33noticing that your mind has slowed down, slowed down because
- 2:03:24nothing really requires your attention. You can enjoy the physical
- 2:03:53sensations of allowing the stress drip out of your body,
- 2:04:11to appear out of every part of your body and
- 2:04:35being released from your brain in your mind slowly but surely,
- 2:05:21the muscle sing lex relax rex so very deeply, res

- 2:07:46of your neck, feelings in your wrists, muscles in front
- 2:08:48of your body, also feeling peaceful, deeply, there's a sense
- 2:09:43of peace spreads through your very core. Even when you
- 2:10:27focus on your mind, your mind becomes.

- 2:35:47so peaceful.
- 2:36:19Speaker 12: Leca's fair.
- 2:36:55Speaker 1: And you could start to notice that you are feeling
- 2:37:01more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused your mind
- 2:37:13upon that sense of physical comfort that is growing within
- 2:37:21you throughout your body, and your mind starts to slow down,
- 2:37:35And that could be almost in recognition of I guess
- 2:37:43my speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally
- 2:37:57feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice, you give
- 2:38:08yourself an opportunity to take a break from the day,
- 2:38:17take a break from your life as it is, and
- 2:38:25to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take
- 2:38:32some time off and to allow your body to relax
- 2:38:40and allow your mind to slow down, which in turn
- 2:38:50releases the tension and stresses that you had in your body.
- 2:39:02It's almost as if the parts of your body just
- 2:39:06open up, allowing the negativity out and at the same
- 2:39:18time replacing that negativity with positive heathing energy, which then
- 2:39:29fills your body up and your mind to also starts
- 2:39:39to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling,
- 2:39:58positive healing, an energy that spreads through your body like
- 2:40:12a wave of comfort. And all this comes from just
- 2:40:26allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however
- 2:40:35long you want it to be, to just rest and
- 2:40:45allow your mind and your body to almost reset itself
- 2:40:58to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows
- 2:41:14more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move
- 2:41:27around your body and into your mind, almost as if
- 2:41:36your mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring
- 2:41:47each other. With that growing positivity and calmness. It feels nice.
- 2:42:03It really does feel nice to know that you are
- 2:42:09the one that has allowed yourself to feel more comfort
- 2:42:22and to experience more of this deep relaxation spreading throughout
- 2:42:36your body. And as I focus on each part of
- 2:42:48your body, you can notice that that part becomes even
- 2:43:02more relaxed just by focusing on it. It becomes even
- 2:43:11more calm and comfortable, just by focusing. And as I
- 2:43:24move down your body, starting at your head, the parts
- 2:43:33that you've already focused on will continue to relax deeply,
- 2:43:43and those parts that we've not yet focused on or
- 2:43:49just automatically release any remain intension in anticipation of even
- 2:44:01more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going to start
- 2:44:14by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware the feelings
- 2:44:22of your forehead and any background sounds like mister Herbert
- 2:44:32the pigeon can just allow you to feel even more relaxed.
- 2:44:42Just means you're in the moment. This isn't this isn't
- 2:44:48a sterile environment. This is the world. I live in
- 2:44:56the countryside, so there's lots of nature sounds around. So
- 2:45:08as you focus on your forehead, just notice how it
- 2:45:14becomes even more relaxed as you focus only on my
- 2:45:24voice and that part of your body. Moving down to
- 2:45:33your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing how your eyelids
- 2:45:47feel so heavy yet so light at the same time,
- 2:45:57and all the muscles around your eyes relaxing completely moving
- 2:46:08your focus down to your mouth, your lips, your tongue,
- 2:46:16your teeth, and your gumbs, the whole of your mouth relaxing,
- 2:46:28calm and loose. As you focus now on your jaw,
- 2:46:41not just the part of your jaw near your mouth
- 2:46:45and your chin, but all the way up the size
- 2:46:50of your face to your ears. That hole of your
- 2:46:56jaw feed and more, relaxed.
- 2:47:10Speaker 7: And calm.
- 2:47:19Speaker 1: Focusing on your neck, the front of your neck and
- 2:47:28your throat relaxing and loose and calm. The side of
- 2:47:41your neck, the right and left side of your neck,
- 2:47:49relax and loose.
- 2:47:56Speaker 7: And calm.
- 2:48:03Speaker 1: And now the back of your neck, focusing on the
- 2:48:10back of your neck, letting go of any tension that
- 2:48:21may have been there before, and enjoying that sense of
- 2:48:31increasing comfort and release that you can experience in the
- 2:48:42back of your neck. Moving down your back and moving
- 2:48:54either side of your spine right from the top of
- 2:48:59your back all the way down to the bottom of
- 2:49:04your back, down to your lower back. And as you
- 2:49:21move up and down your spine, you can feel the
- 2:49:29muscles either side of your spine relaxing even more. And
- 2:49:44as those muscles relax that sense of comfort starts to
- 2:49:51spread outwards from your spine into both sides of your back,
- 2:50:05the top of your back, the middle, and your lower back.
- 2:50:12And as you scan gently and slowly up and down
- 2:50:20your back, there's the muscles in the top of your
- 2:50:25back relax and become looser. The muscles in the middle
- 2:50:35of your back also seem to just almost divide from
- 2:50:42each other, separating and almost melting. And in your lower
- 2:50:56back it seems to be an extra special feeling of
- 2:51:07comfort that spreads into your hips. Sit down your lower back,
- 2:51:19into your hips, into the area where your cosicks are,
- 2:51:31and into your buttocks, and all those muscles that spread
- 2:51:40from your lower back into your hip area start to melt,
- 2:51:54start to really let go, don't even know where about.
- 2:52:06To focus on your shoulders. Your back and your spine
- 2:52:13will continue to let go, continue to relax so calmly,
- 2:52:35and as you focus on your shoulders, you may notice
- 2:52:40that they're already feeling really loose, They're already feeding calm
- 2:53:10and fear. Those muscles then move from your neck into
- 2:53:23your shoulders. Feel so soft and gentle, so smooth and calm,
- 2:54:00and the feeling in your shoulders seens to spread deep
- 2:54:13into your shoulders. That sense of relaxation, not just traveling
- 2:54:23deeply into your muscles, but also relaxing the bones and
- 2:54:41moving all away to underneath your arms, relaxing that whole
- 2:54:50area between the tops of your shoulders and underneath your arms.
- 2:55:00Then you feel so relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders,
- 2:55:18which sends that deep healing message into your arms. You
- 2:55:41may feel almost as if your arms are not even there,
- 2:55:48because they're so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so so calm.
- 2:56:25Speaker 7: So.
- 2:56:32Speaker 1: Pose, not feeling spreading all the way down your arms,
- 2:56:49two elbows, including your elbows circumforts spreads or away into
- 2:57:19rests of forearments, induists, being so heavy, yet at the
- 2:57:38same time so light and gentle. Frey. See now on
- 2:58:24your hands, my hands, so peaceful in your hands, there's
- 2:59:18a sense of real peace. It just seems to feel
- 2:59:44so familiar when your hands relax deeply. Yes, you thing
- 3:00:20is you thing? It's slightly you think it tips moving
- 3:01:57your attention affront to your body, so comfortable, moving in
- 3:02:27your focus to your legs. Why muscus in your thighs,
- 3:04:11your knees so relaxed, the carved mussels and just chins
- 3:04:52copuzily four faither new feats, sir, peaceful, so calm, so peaceful,
- 3:07:21sircom sir peaceful, so calm, so peace fall RelA sin.
- 3:08:22Speaker 13: Peace fall, so calm, loving that deep relaxation, to spread
- 3:08:41your chest, in your stomach, so RelA, letting go.
- 3:09:00Speaker 1: Of everything. So I'm gonna start counting down now from
- 3:09:19twenty down to one. You can imagine in a way
- 3:09:27it's like just walking down some steps and each step
- 3:09:34or twenty steps, and each step represents a level of comfort.
- 3:09:43Each step represents a deepening of that comfort, and the
- 3:09:59vervy you walk down those steps, that the deeper and
- 3:10:05more relaxed you feel. So starting with number twenty twenty, nineteen, eight, same, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen,
- 3:14:47fourteen four see two well five eight nine eight seven
- 3:23:50s five four y one. And now as you focus
- 3:30:59on your eye, we're gonna count down from ten down
- 3:31:12to one, focusing just on your eyes, your eyelids, the
- 3:31:27muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves, our whole
- 3:31:37area that makes up your eye. And as we count
- 3:31:54down from ten down to one, whilst focus in on
- 3:32:02your eyes, you'll become twice is relaxed. With each number
- 3:32:19counting down that you may find the All you want
- 3:32:31to do is just drift off to sleep. And if
- 3:32:40that's what you want, then just allow yourself to do that. Now,
- 3:32:56focus in on your eyes. I'm going to begin counting
- 3:33:02down from ten down to one right now. Ten nine
- 3:34:20y seven ye five four three two one. So counting
- 3:42:32down from ten to one ten nine eight seven six
- 3:42:48five four three two one. And maybe that was a
- 3:43:08bit too quick in order to relax. Maybe it's a
- 3:43:12bit too fast for you to notice the calming of
- 3:43:18your body, maybe even a little bit of pressure there,
- 3:43:25Like you're counting down from ten to one. Would you
- 3:43:29expect me to do man, expect me to stick gold
- 3:43:33floppy just because you're counting down. We could try it again,
- 3:43:44but this time I go this lower. This time, as
- 3:43:50you focus on the whole of your body before we
- 3:43:55focus on your legs. Just notice how your body does
- 3:44:04start to feel more relaxed with every number that I
- 3:44:17count down ten nine eight seven six five four three
- 3:45:29two one. And just notice how how you feel generally,
- 3:46:07how your body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting
- 3:46:22down from ten to one. It's that space that you have,
- 3:46:30that space between being active physically or mentally to just
- 3:46:53sitting or lying down, just being there, not doing anything,
- 3:46:59not saying anything, or needing to think about anything. So
- 3:47:06that opens up a space, you know, a bit of
- 3:47:09a space.
- 3:47:11Speaker 7: A gap.
- 3:47:18Speaker 1: And the more I comed down from ten to one,
- 3:47:22the bigger that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness,
- 3:47:32of comfort, relaxation. It's a nice feeling, and it moves
- 3:47:49those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally moves away. Allows
- 3:48:07you to just slow down, someone to count again from
- 3:48:19ten down to one, and notice that gap widening, the gap,
- 3:48:29And as it widens, it's almost like the thestress and
- 3:48:34attention falls into the gap and gives you that distance,
- 3:48:53that space. Now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four
- 3:50:16three two one. Now, how does your body feel.
- 3:51:09Speaker 14: Now?
- 3:51:22Speaker 1: Can you notice that the feeling calmer, the feeling more
- 3:51:38relaxed as we now focus on your legs, just your legs.
- 3:52:21We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,
- 3:52:42it's not the most exciting thing to be doing, because
- 3:52:50I'm sure like most of your body is not not
- 3:52:53going on right now. Just focusing on the whole of
- 3:53:05your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides of
- 3:53:12your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs,
- 3:53:19and your inner thighs, basically the whole of your thigh
- 3:53:24that leads into your hip and it goes down to
- 3:53:33your knee joints. Now, this is a big area. It's
- 3:53:47a very heavy area. It's very strong. Probably the strongest
- 3:53:53muscles in your body are in your thighs. But I
- 3:54:07don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.
- 3:54:21Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to
- 3:54:32our lives, how much they actually do for us all
- 3:54:53through our lives. And it may see him to sound
- 3:55:02really weird, but I think that all of our body parts,
- 3:55:11especially our thighs, need some TLC, a bit of love shown,
- 3:55:20a bit of acknowledgement. I thank you gratitude for what
- 3:55:38our thighs do for us. And I know this may
- 3:55:48sound a strange. Maybe you think, why am I? Surely
- 3:55:54how I should be out in the garden hugging a
- 3:55:57tree or something. It's hard to set a microphone up
- 3:56:06on a tree. That's why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise
- 3:56:09I would be outside hugging a tree. Now I can't
- 3:56:12see the television from the tree if you move down
- 3:56:21to your knees getting such an important part, and I
- 3:56:31think we don't necessarily I'll speak for myself here, I
- 3:56:38don't necessarily appreciate all that my knees do for me
- 3:56:44until I have a problem with my knee. It's occasionally,
- 3:56:50if I ever maybe i'll bash it, or it's aching
- 3:56:55for some reason. It's then that I realize how much
- 3:57:01it does. You know, the benefit of being able to
- 3:57:06use my legs without any kind of physical discomfort is
- 3:57:16a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed.
- 3:57:26You know that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees,
- 3:57:35regardless of how your knees feel, you can have that
- 3:57:41sense of gratitude and love to your knees for all
- 3:57:47that they do for you. And you can still have
- 3:57:59that attention on your thighs and maybe notice how your
- 3:58:04thighs feel. Maybe you've notice that they are relaxing more
- 3:58:17deeply as you focus now on the bottoms of your legs,
- 3:58:29your shins and your calf muscles and the bones between
- 3:58:35your knees and your feet, incorporat and of course, your
- 3:58:41ankles so important. Anyone that's had even like the slightest
- 3:58:55sprain of an ankle knows how how much we take
- 3:59:02our ankles for granted. And it's kind of strange in
- 3:59:11a way when you think that. You know, logically, our
- 3:59:16wrists are a lot thinner than the rest of our arms,
- 3:59:21which is okay, it doesn't can't see any problem with
- 3:59:25that because we're just picking stuff up. But our ankles
- 3:59:32so much thinner than the rest of our legs, and
- 3:59:42from a physics perspective or logical even it doesn't really
- 3:59:46make sense that all this weight would ultimately be resting
- 3:59:55on your ankles then leading to your feet that thin area,
- 4:00:06thin bone. Yeah, it does so much great work. Supports us,
- 4:00:16supports our body for a lifetime, helps us to balance,
- 4:00:28helps you to get around and be mobile. And there's the
- 4:00:41calf muscles. Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't
- 4:00:50see the point in calf muscles didn't seem to do anything. Okay,
- 4:00:56if I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles
- 4:01:00get some work, But of course that's not true. The
- 4:01:03carved muscles are being used whenever we use our legs,
- 4:01:13and your shins there to protect your lower legs, shaped
- 4:01:26in a way almost as a protector for the bone,
- 4:01:38leading of course to your ankles and your feet. But
- 4:01:50we're not going to focus on your feet. We're just
- 4:01:52going to focus on the legs. And I realize that
- 4:01:58now that I've mentioned your feet, it probably focusing on
- 4:02:03them anyway, So maybe I should focus on your feet
- 4:02:06a little bit. You can have them in your awareness
- 4:02:14the same as you have your thighs in your awareness.
- 4:02:19Even though we haven't been focusing on your thighs a
- 4:02:23few minutes, we'll be focusing on your ankles. There's still
- 4:02:34that sensation of comfort in your thighs, and there's that
- 4:02:49movement of energy because the thighs hold lots of different sensations.
- 4:03:01Of course, there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that
- 4:03:06we have in our thighs. But the skin on the
- 4:03:19outside of the thighs, as in the outside of all
- 4:03:24of our body, can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch,
- 4:03:36sensitive to temperature, and inside your thighs the bones, there's
- 4:03:50the muscle, there's the blood, vessels, the arch trees, all
- 4:03:56this stuff that's inside your thighs, and I guess sometimes
- 4:04:05it'd be nice if you could actually put your fingers
- 4:04:09inside your thighs and a message. You can message on
- 4:04:15the outside, of course, but to be able to get
- 4:04:18deep into the muscles and to be able to just
- 4:04:22massage inside your thighs, message in the bones of your
- 4:04:28leg massage in all the veins and just gently healing
- 4:04:40your thighs, and you could move down message and inside
- 4:04:49your knees, just message in those bones, but with healing fingertips,
- 4:04:57spreading that healing energy deep into the joints of your knees.
- 4:05:09Of course, there's the back of your your knee, you know,
- 4:05:13the inside crease where your knee is. It's a very
- 4:05:19sensitive area. Very it feels very nice when you stroke it.
- 4:05:26That might be because it's an area that's not really
- 4:05:30touched very often. It's almost like a hidden part, that
- 4:05:37crease in your legs. It's almost it's like a part
- 4:05:43that has a sensitivity, which is a little bit different.
- 4:05:56Of course, it's protected by your legs. So you can
- 4:06:06imagine putting your fingers into that crease in your legs,
- 4:06:17that fold in between your legs. You can just message
- 4:06:21with your fingertips. Imagine your fingertips going inside message in
- 4:06:28the muscle tissue. You can of course field the bones
- 4:06:38of your knees, heading through your fingertips, and then as
- 4:06:50you go down to your calf muscles. Now that's the
- 4:06:56part I'd like to be able to really put my
- 4:06:59thing tips deep inside my calf muscles, massage in every
- 4:07:08single tissue of that muscle, healing every part. And then
- 4:07:21doing the same for my shins, massage in and gently
- 4:07:28stroking the bones, gently stroking them, healing in a loving way,
- 4:07:36because they deserve to be treated as the precious bones
- 4:07:43that they are. Because our legs are so precious as
- 4:07:47in all the other parts of our body, and more
- 4:07:52precious than any jure on the planet. When you start
- 4:08:06to think about your legs in this way, it can
- 4:08:19change your perspective. It might sound a bit a bit
- 4:08:28silly to start with the idea of having love for
- 4:08:34your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting to be
- 4:08:43able to put your hands in your thighs, massage the
- 4:08:51muscles and the bones, and to get your fingers deep
- 4:08:57in there, releasing all tension, just to show how much
- 4:09:07you care about your legs, how much you care for
- 4:09:15what your legs do for you. Regularly, your knees, your calves,
- 4:09:25your ankles, the strength of your ankles considering how thin
- 4:09:37they are compared to the rest of your legs, especially
- 4:09:41your thighs. Yeah, they're so strong, so flexible, absolutely amazing things.
- 4:09:57Your ankles are truly a gift because of what they
- 4:10:06do for you, supporting all that weight, regardless of how
- 4:10:18what weight you are, even if you only ate stone,
- 4:10:24there's still a lot of weight for these little ankles. Now,
- 4:10:31I'm a lot heavier than eight stone double down, yet
- 4:10:39my ankles support my body all the time. Although they
- 4:10:48do give off a sigh of relief when I sit
- 4:10:51down at my whole legs do my feet. My feet
- 4:11:02also go and my toes clap. They're so happy. Your
- 4:11:27legs really are amazing. And I know that talking about
- 4:11:37talking about your legs is probably possibly among the most
- 4:11:44most boring things you've ever heard anyone say. Possibly or
- 4:11:51boring or not, everything I said is true. Your legs
- 4:11:59are un amazing. Your legs deserve not just respect, they
- 4:12:18deserve to relax deeply. They deserve to take some time
- 4:12:31out of the day to just let go completely. Your
- 4:12:55legs really can relax. And because the legs are so
- 4:13:14such a most you know, very important part of your body.
- 4:13:20When you relax your legs, the rest of your body
- 4:13:23also naturally follows in that journey of comfort. I can
- 4:13:42feel it in my hips. My hips feel really loose,
- 4:13:50and also my lower back as well. My lower back
- 4:13:55really feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting
- 4:14:01in a chair and there's no stretching as far as
- 4:14:07I'm aware that I'm doing. It's almost as if the
- 4:14:10muscles are just relaxed so much that there is a
- 4:14:14natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot. And
- 4:14:39I'm now going to count down from ten down to one,
- 4:14:47and you can continue to feel wonderfully relaxed. Ten nine eight, seven, six, five, four.
- 4:15:24Speaker 15: Three two one relax.
- 4:15:48Speaker 1: So I'm just going to count down for five down
- 4:15:52to one. And as a countdown, if you just focus
- 4:15:56on the numbers, just numbers counting down, and notice how
- 4:16:07you feel in this moment as you hear the numbers
- 4:16:14counting down, knowing that those numbers counting down represent you
- 4:16:24feeling calmer, not just in your body, but also relaxing
- 4:16:34your mind. Just notice how you feel. There's nothing to do,
- 4:16:43there's nothing to say, there's nothing to think about. Starting
- 4:16:51with number five four three two one. As you notice
- 4:17:44the gradual letting go of the tension in your body,
- 4:17:56you may also begin to notice and be aware of
- 4:18:01how your mind is starting to slow down. This is
- 4:18:11just a natural thing that happens. It's not really a
- 4:18:17special procedure. It's just natural because as your body relaxes,
- 4:18:25your mind also starts to relax, and the more your
- 4:18:30mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes. It's just a
- 4:18:33continuous circle of relaxation. And is that calmness that comes
- 4:18:46from relative quietness. You know, even even if there's background
- 4:18:54sounds either your side or mind, it's still going to
- 4:19:00be quite calm. You know, you haven't got the television on,
- 4:19:07there's no music in the background unless you're listening to
- 4:19:11the recording. With music, of course, you're very likely not
- 4:19:19going to be sitting in a room with other people.
- 4:19:22Of course you might be, but generally it's more ideal
- 4:19:27if you can do this on your own, so no distractions.
- 4:19:38And when you stop thinking about stuff, relaxation automatically rises.
- 4:19:53A sense of comfort starts to grow, and without trying
- 4:20:04to build it up into something fantastical, or something magical.
- 4:20:15This is just a natural process, something that's easy to accomplish.
- 4:20:28In fact, it's almost know. The sense of relaxing completely
- 4:20:35happens really when you put no effort into it. It's
- 4:20:40not something that you can really force. It's something that
- 4:20:47happens naturally. And part of the process of this recording
- 4:20:59and others is simply two allow you to take advantage
- 4:21:10of this space this time, to just let go, to
- 4:21:27just be here, to be in tune with how you feel,
- 4:21:42yet with the intention of wanting to relax deeply and
- 4:21:54maybe even to fall asleep, depending on what it is
- 4:22:01that you wish for yourself in this moment. As we know,
- 4:22:14relaxing is the majority of the process of falling asleep.
- 4:22:25The actual falling asleep part is a tiny bit of
- 4:22:29the end. The deeper relaxed you become, the easier you
- 4:22:44find yourself drifting. You can also if you choose a
- 4:23:01focused on my voice and really enjoy the process of
- 4:23:20gradually relaxing each muscle in your body effortlessly and just
- 4:23:52observing the sensation of letting go completely. This time, I'm
- 4:24:19going to count from six down to one, and you
- 4:24:27can notice your mind calming down more with each number
- 4:24:39that you hear me say, naturally feeling calm and slow
- 4:24:55and peaceful, six five four three two what being aware?
- 4:27:54How your mind to slow right down, out sinking deeply
- 4:28:09into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind, you
- 4:28:30may notice that there are some thoughts still there, maybe
- 4:28:40some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need your attention.
- 4:28:56So what you can do is send love to those thoughts.
- 4:29:08Sprinkle those thoughts with love m all petals from a flower.
- 4:29:20Just sprinkle it over them, petals filled with love towards
- 4:29:27those thoughts, to let those thoughts know that you're not
- 4:29:34abandoned in them. You just need them. You require them
- 4:29:43to just calm down, slow down, quiet down for now.
- 4:30:03So as you focus on those remaining thoughts as we
- 4:30:08count down this time from seven down to one, with
- 4:30:14each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness,
- 4:30:29gratitude over those thoughts, which will allow them to just
- 4:30:42melt away and relax deeply. With every number, those thoughts
- 4:30:57will become more and more relaxed. Starting with number seven
- 4:31:34six five four three two one What needs him? Now?
- 4:33:46Notice how relaxed you're feeling in your body. We're going
- 4:34:07to focus on your hands, because the more relaxed your
- 4:34:21hands are, the more relaxed your body and mind are.
- 4:34:43And you focus on your hands and your fingers, there's
- 4:34:55nothing needed to be done. There's no clenching of fists
- 4:35:01or dents in the fingers or anything like that. It's
- 4:35:12just noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing how they feel.
- 4:35:41Because the more relaxed your hands feel, the calm your
- 4:35:52mind feels, and the more comfort you feel throughout your body.
- 4:36:09And you may have already noticed your mind is starting
- 4:36:43to dressed fakeshi just on your hands and fingers, allowing
- 4:37:12them to experience a real deepening of that relaxation in
- 4:37:26your hands and fingers, more and more relaxed. With each
- 4:37:45number from eight down to one, you can almost feel
- 4:38:05that healing and relaxing energy spreading into your hands and fingers,
- 4:38:19becoming yel and more relaxing with each number you hear,
- 4:38:40going down from eight down to one, drifting, drifting again,
- 4:39:01starting with no. Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two,
- 4:43:01just being here now, nothing to think about, nothing to do,
- 4:43:12nothing to say, and everything just feels calmer. And this
- 4:43:26is your natural state of being. This is how you
- 4:43:34just normally feel when you take away all that other
- 4:43:42stuff that we add, you know, things like stress and
- 4:43:49worrying and overthinking, anxiety, tension, just generally thinking about stuff.
- 4:44:07And you take that away, which is what we do.
- 4:44:11What we do now you're left with a real sense
- 4:44:23of peacefulness which comes to you very quickly, because ultimately
- 4:44:37it's just a feeling, a feeling of comfort. It's almost
- 4:44:50as if you've gone inside yourself and you've found a
- 4:44:54special place where every thing is peaceful, a place where
- 4:45:08you can feel relaxed and your natural sense of comfort,
- 4:45:19a place where you can be you, where you can
- 4:45:27accept yourself for who you are, a place where you're
- 4:45:34not trying to please anybody else ever, a place where
- 4:45:44you can actually not just love yourself, but in some
- 4:45:54ways more importantly, you can like yourself appreciate who you are.
- 4:46:12That sense of gratitude is in the air all around you.
- 4:46:26That's also a place where you can actually feel the
- 4:46:35healing energy soaking into your body. Healing energy soaking into
- 4:46:50your body, and that healing energy spreads through your traveling
- 4:47:04to each and every single part of your body, and
- 4:47:17you start to realize that actually that healing energy. It's
- 4:47:24not just entered into your brain, it's become part of
- 4:47:31your brain, and that spinal fluid is now mixed with
- 4:47:42healing energy, not just allowing you to feel so much
- 4:47:54more relaxed and healthy in this moment, but also you
- 4:48:08start to realize that actually, what's happening now with that healing,
- 4:48:18relaxing energy spreading through your body, it's actually changing your life.
- 4:48:32It's actually changing the way you're going to feel not
- 4:48:38just now, but tomorrow and the next day. As your
- 4:48:45health improves, not just your physical health, but your mental health.
- 4:48:57Things that used to bother you in the past, for
- 4:49:03some reason, no longer have the effect that they used
- 4:49:09to because something has changed deep within you. Maybe things
- 4:49:23that used to cause you to feel anger no longer
- 4:49:33have that power to control you the way they seem
- 4:49:43to be able to before. As you realize that you
- 4:49:52are the one who decides what to fact acts you,
- 4:50:04you're the one who decides to feel relaxed and calm
- 4:50:14when you choose to enjoy noticing these natural developments of
- 4:50:30healing continuing to grow and improve your life day by day,
- 4:50:47including of course, your ability to relax so much easier
- 4:51:00and sleeping is the most natural thing in the world
- 4:51:11to you, because falling asleep is something that you've done
- 4:51:23so many times in your life, and you know that
- 4:51:31you were born, as we all were, with the ability
- 4:51:38to fall asleep naturally. We were born with that ability
- 4:51:51to just drift off into a deep, healing sleep. Even
- 4:52:05when we're kids, sometimes we'll fall asleep when we don't
- 4:52:10even want to try to tell us stay awake. Maybe
- 4:52:16it's a birthday in the morning, or it's Christmas or
- 4:52:20holiday or something we look forward to. We don't want
- 4:52:23to go to sleep. But the more we want to
- 4:52:28stay awake, the more we just start to drift. And
- 4:52:37the more you fight drifting, the more you try to
- 4:52:41stop yourself and drift in a shape, the deeper and
- 4:52:46stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born not just with
- 4:52:58the need to relax deeply and to naturally fall asleep,
- 4:53:08but it's our birthright, it's part of our DNA. And
- 4:53:21sometimes as we get older in life, perhaps at times
- 4:53:28we have forgotten that relaxing completely is not only a
- 4:53:41wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy. It's very very
- 4:54:06easy to let go because that's all it is. It's
- 4:54:12just deciding to let go. And when you press the
- 4:54:27play button on my recordings, you have given permission for
- 4:54:37my voice to relax you. When you press that play button,
- 4:54:47you have given me permission for my words to affect
- 4:54:58you in a positive, only a positive way, opening up
- 4:55:15your mind too useful and healing suggestions that can have
- 4:55:37such an amazing effect on how you feel right now,
- 4:55:50as well as those changes that continue long after the
- 4:56:00recording ends, Those changes within you to continue to flourish
- 4:56:11and grow, transforming your life in a positive, beautiful way,
- 4:56:29allowing you to move forward in your life in the
- 4:56:36direction that you choose for yourself. And this feeling, this
- 4:56:53feeling that you can experience of safety, come for calmness,
- 4:57:09just feels so nice. It's such a healthy place to be,
- 4:57:31and that positivity grows within you each and every day.
- 4:57:48Moving forward, you're going to find that you're more relaxed
- 4:58:00physically and in your mind is more relaxed. And it's
- 4:58:12not that you're thinking slower. It's just that your mind
- 4:58:18will be less clogged up with unnecessary negativity because from
- 4:58:30now on, your mind rejects negativity. From now on, you're
- 4:58:40going to start noticing when negativity arises, and you can
- 4:58:51just say stop, stop, and that negativity will turn around
- 4:59:06and leave you alone. Stop and that negativity will disappear.
- 4:59:33And as you notice that you feel way more relaxed
- 4:59:41than you probably expected, you can now congratulate yourself because
- 4:59:57you're the person that has done. You are the one
- 5:00:04that has opened your mind up to the simple facts
- 5:00:12that you can feel more relaxed in your body and
- 5:00:17in your mind. You've opened your mind up to the
- 5:00:29birthright of being able to just fall asleep easily when
- 5:00:37you choose. And that's a nice feeling. Don't you think
- 5:00:53it feels nice? Doesn't it? To feel calm? All that
- 5:01:03healing energy is spreading through your body and your mind
- 5:01:14to spend time in a special place where negativity can
- 5:01:24no longer enter. Negativity is banned. It's bad, it's not
- 5:01:37allowed Entryue doesn't it doesn't. This doesn't deserve to be here,
- 5:01:45It doesn't belong here. Negativity has no place in your life.
- 5:02:04Which makes room feel more comfort, more heathing, more relaxation,
- 5:02:18more peace. It feels nice, doesn't it? Just the let
- 5:02:43go with everything. I'm going to count down now from
- 5:03:04twenty down to one. You can continue to relax. If
- 5:03:14you choose, you can drift to sleep with every number
- 5:03:28you hear me say, you can fill twice as relaxed,
- 5:03:40or if you choose, you can fill twice to sleepy
- 5:03:51now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine,
- 5:05:39eight seven, six.
- 5:06:00Speaker 7: H five.
- 5:06:12Speaker 1: Oh, this is your time to just take a break,
- 5:06:55your time to really acts, to allow your mind to
- 5:07:06slow down, to give yourself permission to take a break
- 5:07:28from everything. And you you're the only person that can
- 5:07:37make that decision. You're the only person that can actually
- 5:07:43tell your mind to just relax, to just take some
- 5:08:03time off so that you can focus on your body,
- 5:08:17getting in touch with how you feel physically, and in
- 5:08:32the process of this body scan where you focus on
- 5:08:40different parts of your body, those parts that you focus
- 5:08:50on and observe. Even though you're not purposely requested for
- 5:09:02those parts of your body to relax, it's kind of expected.
- 5:09:10You expect when you listen to my voice to feel
- 5:09:16more relaxed naturally, because when you're listening to me, your
- 5:09:30attention is focused on my words, and as my words
- 5:09:43guide you to focus on those parts of your body,
- 5:09:57your focus increases, which actually calms your mind. And when
- 5:10:19your mind calms down, your body relaxes. And when your
- 5:10:39body calms down, your mind relaxes. And even though we've
- 5:11:03not really started the focus on your body, you can
- 5:11:12already feel that healing energy spreading through your body, pushing
- 5:11:28out stress and tension, healing all the parts of your body,
- 5:11:44including your skin, your bones, your blood, all of your
- 5:11:52organs inside your body, all of the muscles, all of
- 5:11:58the fat, all of everything, every hair on your body
- 5:12:07is filled with that healing energy. And when your brain
- 5:12:23fills with that healing energy, the feeling of comfort and
- 5:12:37relaxation increases, deeply increases in a way that your mind
- 5:13:06starts to feel perhaps bit drowsy because it's not needed,
- 5:13:23and it may start to drift if that's what's needed.
- 5:13:43So if you're listening to this and what you need
- 5:13:47is deep relaxation, that's what you get. If what you
- 5:13:54need is to fall asleep naturally and easily as your
- 5:14:02mind drifts, that's also what will happen. Because by pressing
- 5:14:18that play button on the podcast and listening to me,
- 5:14:24you give permission for your body and your mind. In fact,
- 5:14:38you give the command to your body and your mind
- 5:14:42to relax deeply and to drift off to sleep, if
- 5:14:55that's what you want.
- 5:15:01Speaker 12: Or need.
- 5:15:09Speaker 1: And as I focus on the different parts of your body,
- 5:15:19you may start to just drift. And then you come
- 5:15:28back again and you hear me talking, and I'm focusing
- 5:15:34on a different parts of your body, and you may
- 5:15:44find yourself drifting. You don't realize you're drifting until you
- 5:15:53stop drifting and you're alert again to my voice. Focusing
- 5:16:03on a different part of your body starts to relax
- 5:16:08even deeper, because that drifting is basically you already in
- 5:16:20the sleep zone. And the more you drift, the longer
- 5:16:31you drift, and the longer you drift, eventually that drifting
- 5:16:41continues into sleep, and that's the last you remember until
- 5:16:53you wake up in your own time. When you experience
- 5:17:02the right amount of sleep fear because when you do,
- 5:17:12and if you do fall asleep.
- 5:17:14Speaker 16: It's extremely pleasant, so relaxing, so deep, healing.
- 5:17:31Speaker 1: Sleep. I'm going it feels so nice to relax into
- 5:17:48your own body and mind. As you feel that healing
- 5:17:58energy is spreading through relaxing news so deeply, relaxing new
- 5:18:12so so deeply, we start to focus on your eyes,
- 5:18:36moving down to your jaw, down to your neck, your shoulders, palms, hands, fingers,
- 5:19:30your chest, stomach, your back, just spine, your hips, your legs,
- 5:20:19your feet, your toes, and feedingeings, spreading and groaning inside
- 5:20:58your body, h feeling you up. Now let's focus again
- 5:21:11on parts of your body, focusing this time on your forehead.
- 5:21:26Now on your mouth, your lips, your tongue, the whole
- 5:21:35of your mouth. Focusing on your fingers. Maybe you could
- 5:21:59move think as little bits. You can focus on each
- 5:22:04one individually, both hands and even though as you focus
- 5:22:18on both of your hands now they almost seem to
- 5:22:23just melt into one. Where is your right hand start
- 5:22:32and your left hand end, almost as if just mixed together.
- 5:22:48Now focusing on your knees, just noticing how your knees fell.
- 5:23:16Now focusing on your elbows, focusing on both of your elbows,
- 5:23:30just observing the feeling of your elbows. Now focusing absurving
- 5:24:07the back of your neck, feeding the energy on the
- 5:24:23back of your neck, absurving your ankle, being aware of
- 5:25:13physical sensations in your ankles, noticin now you toes on
- 5:26:28both of your feet, being aware how you TOAs yeah,
- 5:26:49right now, notice thin how you entire body feels, noticing
- 5:27:54your mind feels now, letting go, letting go, letting go everything,
- 5:28:55letting go, letting go, letting go everything, everything. I'm going
- 5:29:37to start now, and I would like you just, first
- 5:29:41of all, just to see yourself lying down on that
- 5:29:46message table, lying on your front. Your head is supported,
- 5:29:53your arms are supported, and you feel commfortable, and breathing
- 5:30:02is really easy, and you feel you feel confident in
- 5:30:11how you look as well. So there's none of that
- 5:30:13issue of body problems or shyness because I'm a professional
- 5:30:21and this is a therapy session, so none of that
- 5:30:28stuff matters whatsoever. This is about you. This is about
- 5:30:38how you feel and how you can enjoy that sense
- 5:30:47of comfort and relaxation that comes from letting go and
- 5:30:53allowing my hands my fingers to relax you by a
- 5:31:01message your body. So I want to start off just
- 5:31:10by placing my hands on the back of your head,
- 5:31:16just gently, just so you can feel what my hands
- 5:31:21feel like really on you, so you can maybe feel
- 5:31:28the warmth of my hands on the back of your head.
- 5:31:34With my hands to the side of your head, not pressing,
- 5:31:38but just holding there very gently, maybe over your ears,
- 5:31:45and a little bit on your face, just so you
- 5:31:48can feel my hands so you can become accustomed to them.
- 5:32:04And now put my hands on the back of your
- 5:32:07head again and gently let them slide down onto the
- 5:32:14back of your neck. You can feel my hands gently
- 5:32:31stroking the back of your neck to start with, just
- 5:32:38so you can get used to the feeling with my
- 5:32:43hands on your skin, get accustomed to realize that you're
- 5:32:51safe and it's all good, it's all fine, And I'm
- 5:33:01going to start gently massaging the muscles in the back
- 5:33:05of your neck with both hands. Now, this is a
- 5:33:21very trusting situation, really, because our necks are so fragile
- 5:33:29and to have someone have their hands around your neck
- 5:33:33in that way can sometimes be problematic for people, which
- 5:33:39is why massages are quite good, because it allows you
- 5:33:43to relax and to get in touch with trust, to
- 5:33:57feel peaceful and can't and there's a massage the sides
- 5:34:10of your neck gently moving from the bottom of your neck.
- 5:34:20It would be sort of near where your shoulders start,
- 5:34:22I guess, all the way up to your jaw, your
- 5:34:29ears kind of area that side of your neck. Of course,
- 5:34:36it's a lot longer than the front of your neck,
- 5:34:51and then message in the back of your neck, especially
- 5:34:58that area where perhaps we hold tension, and as that
- 5:35:07area's message, you can actually feel a sense of release
- 5:35:12in the back of your neck and maybe you can
- 5:35:20breathe it out as well. Notice how it feels. Notice
- 5:35:26how you feel. Then moving down to that area between
- 5:35:39your neck and your shoulders, that muscle area, starting to
- 5:35:47message that area on both sides. I mean, this would
- 5:35:54be the area that a lot of people would message
- 5:35:57if they were going to give you like a shoulder massage.
- 5:36:02Even that's not technically the shoulders, but it's all the
- 5:36:05muscles that lead to the shoulders from the neck, and
- 5:36:12again that can hold tension and stress. And when massaged
- 5:36:19sometimes a nice deep message is useful, and you decide
- 5:36:26how deep that message is, and just allow my knuckles
- 5:36:45just to dig in to get to those muscles and
- 5:36:49to really relaxed, all the time being firm yet into
- 5:37:01with you, and just stroking down the area to your
- 5:37:19actual shoulders, moving to the muscles of your shoulders and
- 5:37:31maybe initially just pulling up the shoulders a little bit
- 5:37:36of the table just to give you a little bit
- 5:37:39of a stretch, but very gently and you've got the
- 5:37:50muscles at the front of your shoulders, the sides and
- 5:37:54the back. Again, this is a part that can really
- 5:38:06take quite a bit of pressure, quite a bit of needing.
- 5:38:14If if you wish to really release the tension to
- 5:38:22really get into those muscles, and you can let your
- 5:38:29fingers in there. They can feel really nice sometimes just
- 5:38:35being stroked gently or being massaged quite strongly, it can
- 5:38:46all be beneficial to the realaxation. Put the muscles in
- 5:38:56your shoulders. Now, as you move down your arms, we
- 5:39:15do one arm at a time, starting with your right arm.
- 5:39:26Well I do is I just lift your arm up,
- 5:39:31just hold it to the side of you that way
- 5:39:36still be attached, and I just message the tops of
- 5:39:42your arms all the way down to your forearms into
- 5:39:59your wrists, gently massaging that parts, the softer part which
- 5:40:23is the under part of the arm, which leads to
- 5:40:29the crease in your elbow, the inside. It's much more
- 5:40:35sensitive skin. Sometimes just having that stroked feel really nice,
- 5:40:55pleasurable and relaxing. Now moving down to your right hand,
- 5:41:15just holding your hand in both of my hands, just
- 5:41:27pressing gently on the back of your hand and stretching
- 5:41:33your fingers ever so lightly at the same time pressing
- 5:41:44down and massaging each finger, and then starting to massage
- 5:41:58the palms of their hands. Just turning the hand gently,
- 5:42:10stretching it gently, and actually having your hand held can
- 5:42:20really be an emotional experience sometimes even if it is
- 5:42:27a stranger, someone you don't know very well, like a
- 5:42:33massage person or a therapist. Maybe because it's intimate and
- 5:42:47you can feel nice, you can feel safe. And as
- 5:43:00I put that right arm back down where it was,
- 5:43:09we're gonna do the same with your left arm, exactly
- 5:43:15the same. Massage in the muscles in your arm all
- 5:43:25the way down. Do you rest, stroking the inside of
- 5:43:33your arm, just being gentle or as firm as you require,
- 5:43:52and then massage in your left hand, stretching the fingers gently,
- 5:44:08massaging the palm of your left hand. You feel so
- 5:44:28so relaxing, so comforting, And I just rest your left
- 5:44:53arm back down. Start to massage your back, the biggest
- 5:45:08part of your body, starting at the top, starting again
- 5:45:19where we already have been, the area at the top
- 5:45:23in between your shoulders k near your neck. Going back
- 5:45:30the message in that area again, but this time moving downwards,
- 5:45:41taking a downward stroke to the middle of your back,
- 5:45:50working from the outside inwards, a massage in the your back,
- 5:45:58but the the outsides of your back parts where your
- 5:46:10arms with maybe rest against almost the path that connects
- 5:46:24your front to your back. Just messaging down firmly but gently,
- 5:46:42as firm as you want, moving down and moving across
- 5:46:50a little bit, and moving all the way down again,
- 5:46:54being very gentle yet firm as you choose. Eventually we
- 5:47:07get to the spine. We can message the muscles and
- 5:47:12either side of your spine from the top of your
- 5:47:15neck all the way down to your lower back. We
- 5:47:27can do that a few times. Sometimes people use the
- 5:47:36knuckle or the two fingers and just go your side
- 5:47:43of the spine almost just push down, go all the
- 5:47:48way down to the bottom of the spine, each time
- 5:47:54releasing tension and opening up the body, stretching your body
- 5:48:06so that you feel more relaxed but at the same
- 5:48:10time rejuvenated. And now I'm going to move to one side,
- 5:48:28to your right side, and from the bottom of your
- 5:48:35ribs to your pelvis, I'm going to massage that area
- 5:48:43of your back. I'll stretch over the other side and
- 5:48:48i will pull the muscles gently and massage and push
- 5:48:54from one end that side or right to my side
- 5:49:00middle in fact, to where your spine is massaging that
- 5:49:05side of your spine the opposite side to where I'm standing.
- 5:49:13It's almost like kneading bread. There's that big area which
- 5:49:19is firm yet lots there to message. Potentially one of
- 5:49:30the most important places to actually have a message because
- 5:49:37you really feel it. You really feel the release and
- 5:49:43the pleasure of having your lower back massaged. It releases
- 5:49:52so much from your body that's not useful art in
- 5:50:00a healing process which will continue long after this recording
- 5:50:06is over. The message in this part of your body
- 5:50:18not only feels really good for you, it's actually fun
- 5:50:23to do because it is, as I said, like kneading bread.
- 5:50:30It's a part that you can really get hold of
- 5:50:34and really message deeply. If that's your choice, then I'm
- 5:50:48going to move over to the other side of your
- 5:50:50body and do the same with the opposite part our back,
- 5:51:03kneeding and messaging from your sides or way to the
- 5:51:12middle of your back where your spine is pressing and
- 5:51:20kneading firm and gentle at the same time. It feels
- 5:51:31so releasing this mixture of pleasure, comfort, release, calmness, relaxation
- 5:51:45or mixed together. Plus there's that feeling from your stomach
- 5:51:55as it's being stretched. Even though you're in your stomach now,
- 5:52:01you can feel it being stretched because that whole area
- 5:52:05is connected to your stomach. Now we're going to move
- 5:52:16or move further up to your top of your body
- 5:52:21and I we do the same this time, starting with
- 5:52:29your upper back. Put my hands forward over and massive
- 5:52:35massage in that area up to your spine, from the
- 5:52:42side of your body up to your spine. So some
- 5:52:46of that message area, the muscle tissue or whatever fatty
- 5:52:53tissue even will be possibly from your chest because or
- 5:52:59connected chest and the back connect together. I'm going to
- 5:53:06be massaging and just pulling some of that skin from
- 5:53:11your side up and massaging that area of your upper
- 5:53:20back all the way to your spine. And then I'll
- 5:53:29move down a bit and I'll continue with the middle
- 5:53:32of your back doing exactly the same thing as gentle
- 5:53:39or as deep as you choose. Now I'll move the
- 5:53:52other side again and do the exact same thing with
- 5:53:57the top of your back on the other side, from
- 5:54:07pretty much underneath your arm area really to your spine.
- 5:54:20I then continuing that all the way down, including your
- 5:54:27lower your middle of your back. I'm gonna go to
- 5:54:45your thighs, the backs of your thighs, and the sides
- 5:54:52of your thighs, starting with your right leg. Massage in
- 5:55:03the back and the sides of your thighs gently and firmly.
- 5:55:14There's a lot of muscles there. It's an area that
- 5:55:17can be very tense at times and maybe needs a
- 5:55:22little bit more pressure than the rest of the body.
- 5:55:25That's up to you. You can gently stroke the back
- 5:55:36of your legs where you know, opposite your knee joint
- 5:55:41or underneath your knee joint, very sensitive, gentle area. And
- 5:55:54then working down to your calf muscles. Massage in your
- 5:56:02calf muscles thoroughly and deeply, if you choose, using both
- 5:56:11hands and fingers, digging deep to your ankles, in the
- 5:56:30back of your back of your ankles, just gently massage
- 5:56:37in that area, maybe lifting the leg and stretching out
- 5:56:49a little bit. In to the right foot. Massage in
- 5:57:14the bottom of your feet and the sides of your
- 5:57:21feet gently but firm enough so they don't tickle, and
- 5:57:38just allow the pleasure that you get from heaving your feet.
- 5:57:43Message to just overtake you as I continue to message
- 5:57:53your feet, the bottoms of your feet, the sides, your arches,
- 5:58:03your heel. You can put a lot of pressure into
- 5:58:08your heel and it feels amazing, Yet the arches need
- 5:58:14to be a bit more gentle. Stretching your toes gently,
- 5:58:25the message in the bottoms of your toes with my fingers,
- 5:58:32each one individually. Moving over to the left leg to
- 5:58:46do exactly the same thing. Starting at the top of
- 5:58:54the thighs, work in the back of the thighs, and
- 5:58:59the it's massaging deeply and gently the whole area, working
- 5:59:12all the way down. And this is an area that
- 5:59:22maybe you could like to spend more time relaxing and messaging.
- 5:59:33So perhaps if you wanted like a bigger future recording wants,
- 5:59:39spend more time on one particular area. As you move
- 5:59:48down to your calf muscles, massage calf muscles firmly and gently,
- 6:00:11moving down your aincor into your feet, Massage in the
- 6:00:20backs of your feet, the bottoms of your feet, stretching
- 6:00:30your toes and massage in each tone individually. And that
- 6:00:37feeling of pleasure and release that you experience when you're
- 6:00:42having your feet massaged feels really good. Now she turn
- 6:01:05over in your mind. Laying on your back, I'm just
- 6:01:16going to start again for your neck area, in your shoulders,
- 6:01:33just to get back in touch with that area. And
- 6:01:44as you move up, I can clean my hands, make
- 6:01:56them more fresh, because now I'm going to message your
- 6:01:59face yes, gently, starting off with your forehead. Your eyes
- 6:02:15are closed and I can just stretch your eyes a
- 6:02:21little bit, pushing up on your eyebrows, just massaging around
- 6:02:33your scalp, massaging down your cheeks, around your ears, into
- 6:02:48your chaw, gently the sides of your neck chin mm hmm.
- 6:03:12Then just moving down from your neck down to your chest,
- 6:03:24starting by message in the very top of your chest
- 6:03:32where the collar bone is. Give a side of the collarbone.
- 6:03:45Then just message in the hole of the chest, moving
- 6:03:58the chest around, because it's quite a large area. You
- 6:04:12can move from one side to the next, moving my
- 6:04:20hands underneath pretty much where your arms are stretching up,
- 6:04:33stretching some of the muscles of your back in the process,
- 6:04:41moving up over your chest and they're moving down again.
- 6:05:02And then allow my hands to just massage gently and
- 6:05:07slide down towards your stomach, starting in the middle of
- 6:05:14your chest, and then gradually my hands moving apart and
- 6:05:24massage in and slide in at the same time, moving
- 6:05:30down to just below your rib cage, moving down, then
- 6:05:49massaging up again, giving your chest all the attention that
- 6:05:58it needs to feel completely relaxed. Remembering them. I'm also
- 6:06:13going to be focusing on your sides as well, an
- 6:06:18area that really doesn't get much attention but feels really
- 6:06:24good when it's massaged. Just stroking my hands down the
- 6:06:35sides of your body, just below your arms, all the
- 6:06:42way down to your hips. Now moving to your stomach area,
- 6:06:57I'm going to stand one side of you like I
- 6:07:01did when I did your lower back. I'm gonna do
- 6:07:05a similar process of just stretching the muscles from inside
- 6:07:15gently massaging from one side to the next, move in
- 6:07:30a whole area from below your ribs all the way
- 6:07:34down to below your belly button, and then move around
- 6:07:45to the other side of you and repeat that process
- 6:07:55of relaxing, deeply, calmly, feel loose, You feel free. And
- 6:08:11it's something about having your stomach massage that's different from
- 6:08:15any other part because we do have a tendency of
- 6:08:23holding a different kind of stress in our stomach that
- 6:08:28we may not be aware of. As I now message
- 6:08:37your stomach in front of your stomach, making circles around
- 6:08:46your belly button, and then going the other way around.
- 6:09:01There's a gentleness and a freedom that comes from feeling
- 6:09:08how you're feeling. As are now move down the tops
- 6:09:18of your thighs, the muscles, massaging them, and I can
- 6:09:25do this two legs at the same time, pressing down,
- 6:09:34massaging deeply those muscles in your thighs, at front of
- 6:09:40your thighs, and moving down to your knees, gently massaging
- 6:09:51your knees, Sliding down your shins, putting pressure on either
- 6:10:03side of your shin gently softly but firmly, moving down
- 6:10:15to your ankles, stroking the tops of your feet, and
- 6:10:30then with each foot in each hand, just gently messaging
- 6:10:37the whole of the foot, the top, the bottom, your heel,
- 6:10:46your ankle, your toes, messaging every part of your feet.
- 6:10:58Feels so good it just to let go and enjoy
- 6:11:04the process, enjoy feeling so deeply relaxed, so much comfort,
- 6:11:28and so many feelings that come just from touching your skin.
- 6:11:46And you can just lie there for as long as
- 6:11:52you choose, enjoying the feeling of deep comfort and being
- 6:12:04massaged by me, enjoy fearing deeply right. And all we're
- 6:12:36going to do is blow out some candles. In your mind,
- 6:12:57they're going to be a hundred cans, and you're going
- 6:13:07to blow each one out individually, one by one, starting
- 6:13:18at one hundred. As I count down all the way
- 6:13:26down to one, and each time I say a number,
- 6:13:39you can imagine that candle in front of you, and
- 6:13:46I'd like you to actually physically generally blow that candle out,
- 6:14:02just so it's not big blows, just a gentle, and
- 6:14:15that candle will extinguish. And then I'll say the next number,
- 6:14:26so we move down and you can just blow that
- 6:14:35one out as well. And as we move down the numbers,
- 6:14:50you'll find yourself feeling more and more relaxed. If you
- 6:14:59need to sleep, you'll also find yourself becoming incredibly tired
- 6:15:09and sleepy. In fact, you may struggle to blow out
- 6:15:21all one hundred of these candles as you feel more
- 6:15:38and more deeply relaxed, more and more deeply tired, and
- 6:16:06the further you go down, the more your mind starts
- 6:16:16to drift. You may find that you stop listening to
- 6:16:28me after a while. And even though there may be
- 6:16:41background sounds where you are. You'll be aware of those
- 6:16:49sounds at the moment, be a start to just not
- 6:17:08even notice them at all, because they're unimportant. Where I am,
- 6:17:30I've got the sounds of the birds, there's horrors, the
- 6:17:35pigeon who likes to say hello sometimes, and there's the
- 6:17:43odd plane that goes by, maybe traffic and trains in
- 6:17:54the distance. But none of that seems important whatsoever. More
- 6:18:12candles you blow out less important. Anything is. More candles
- 6:18:28you blow out. The further you seem to move away
- 6:18:44from sounds and from general date days, stuff seems to
- 6:18:57just hm move away on its sane. You feel more
- 6:19:14calma with every candle you blow out, guiding you the
- 6:19:35next number. Do you hear me say? And then you
- 6:19:48blow that candle out to h so he's see so simple.
- 6:20:15We're gonna start by introducing the first candle. She is
- 6:20:29a hundred. First candle, she is one hundred. When you
- 6:20:47blow that candle out, you'll find immediately years slight change
- 6:21:07in how you feel, as well as a real sense
- 6:21:16of positivity growing within you, relaxation and sleepiness expanding. Starting
- 6:21:47with one hundred, blow out that candle. Now, ninety nine MH,
- 6:22:34candle ninety eight, hand ninety seven cham with ninety six.
- 6:23:59Speaker 17: Mm hm HM.

- 7:14:44Speaker 1: Six him came four and doy seven two. Can or
- 7:19:27let go of all of those thoughts, worries, concerns about
- 7:19:35the past, thoughts about the future, and even things you've
- 7:19:41been thinking about today. Just let it all go because
- 7:19:49none of it is useful in this moment. This is
- 7:19:58your opportunity to just focus on feeling relaxed, allowing yourself
- 7:20:17to get in touch with that natural sense of peace
- 7:20:28that we all have within us. It's available for everyone,
- 7:20:35it just sometimes takes a little bit of effort to
- 7:20:40set up the right time and place in order for
- 7:20:46you to just let go. Because when you do decide
- 7:20:55to let go and relax, that's what your body starts
- 7:21:01to do because you've chosen. You've chosen to just allow
- 7:21:11your body to unwind and your mind starts to slow down.
- 7:21:20And it's a nice feeling. It's a nice feeling at
- 7:21:25the beginning, just to know that you have chosen to
- 7:21:31decide to relax deeply, and because you've made that decision,
- 7:21:42your body or just follow suit, because sometimes all the
- 7:21:49muscles in your body need is just permission from you
- 7:21:55to relax. So often we're busy, we're going from here
- 7:22:03to there, we're walking around, and we're doing stuff, and
- 7:22:10the body doesn't have any time or space to really
- 7:22:17relax deeply. So it kind of waits for you to
- 7:22:23lead the way, waits for your permission. And when you
- 7:22:33do give your permission, when you give the say so
- 7:22:39we you say okay, it's time for your body to
- 7:22:47let go completely and relax totally, your body just follows
- 7:23:00like a breath of relief. Ah good, I can now relax.
- 7:23:09That feeling at the end of a day, of a
- 7:23:13very physical day that you may experience in the past,
- 7:23:17but you get home and you just sit down on
- 7:23:20a chair. Maybe you kick your shoes off, and ah,
- 7:23:25feels so nice knowing that you don't have to get
- 7:23:30up again for a little while at least if you choose,
- 7:23:35you can just sit there for maybe an hour to
- 7:23:40It feels blissful. And just by sitting down like that,
- 7:23:53your body knows that it's time to relax. Your body
- 7:23:58has been given per mission from you. Because it's a
- 7:24:03mindset in your mind, you're prepared to let go of
- 7:24:14everything and just completely allow all the stress of your
- 7:24:24body to evaporate. Any tensions can just gradually vanish. It's
- 7:24:42almost like magic, really, because that sense of relaxation in
- 7:24:54your body, it's a very natural state. It's not something unusual.
- 7:25:03It may feel unusual when you first start to relax
- 7:25:06with you, if you haven't really spent a lot of
- 7:25:10time focusing and giving yourself this space to let go
- 7:25:15completely and relax, they seem are most alien, but it isn't.
- 7:25:24It's actually the most natural thing in the world to
- 7:25:30let go completely, to relax totally, the most natural thing
- 7:25:40in the world to allow yourself to feel really calm
- 7:25:52in your mind. And it is almost like a literal unwinding.
- 7:26:03It's like you press a button and all the tension
- 7:26:09just releases, and it's like a wheel, like a cog,
- 7:26:16like the inside of a clock, just unwinding. And it's
- 7:26:19almost like you could see the little wind up knob
- 7:26:24that's used just going the opposite way that you choose
- 7:26:30to wind it up, and the energy that fremetic stress
- 7:26:38for energy gradually winding down, losing its power, losing its
- 7:26:47strength as a sense of relaxation becomes stronger and deeper,
- 7:27:00and you may find a the more relaxed you feel,
- 7:27:08that your mind starts to wonder, maybe seem to stop
- 7:27:18listening to me for a while, and your mind goes
- 7:27:22somewhere else, and then you realize you're listening to me again,
- 7:27:30and that is just your mind drifting to sleep, which
- 7:27:37is quite natural, because sometimes when we're stressed and tense,
- 7:27:48we're not I mean, I actually be aware of what
- 7:27:52we need, what we physically your emotionally need in this moment.
- 7:28:02But when you allow your body and mind to relax
- 7:28:08completely and you let go of all thoughts, concerns, worries, ideas,
- 7:28:19all letting them go allow them to drop onto the floor.
- 7:28:28When you start to get in touch with the feelings
- 7:28:35of such relaxation. This feels so nice to be in
- 7:28:47touch with the calmness of the different body parts as
- 7:28:53they become looser and looser, and even your breathing seems
- 7:29:09easier and more natural effortless, as that cool there enters
- 7:29:19through your mouth or nose into your lungs, breathing in
- 7:29:28comforts and relaxation, and then just breathing out any excess
- 7:29:36remain intention or stress from every part of your body
- 7:29:45and mind. And as you start to focus on your mind,
- 7:29:53maybe you notice that things come to a step and still,
- 7:30:01or maybe just much much lower than before, because your
- 7:30:10mind is not really needed when listening to my voice,
- 7:30:21which allows your mind to relax just as deeply as
- 7:30:27your body. And that's synchronicity between the relaxation of your
- 7:30:38body and relaxation of your mind. Let you know that
- 7:30:50feeling completely calm, loose, and relaxed is a great healing
- 7:31:05experience fear and has so many positive benefits for your body, mind,
- 7:31:23and your life. To be able to let go everything
- 7:31:32and to relax completely in all parts of your body
- 7:31:42and mind. Even your bones has aris, all your muscles arise,
- 7:32:00even the skin that covers your body is relaxed. Every hair.
- 7:32:17Speaker 19: That you have.
- 7:32:20Speaker 1: Is also deeply relaxed, and your brain really styles to
- 7:32:37feel the benefits.
- 7:32:41Speaker 3: Of this.
- 7:32:43Speaker 1: Healing relaxation. And as you focus on the inside of
- 7:32:55your scalp where your brain is, and start to realize
- 7:33:02and notice the benefits of your brain relaxing deeply, then
- 7:33:15it's your brain continues to relax sends those messages to
- 7:33:28the rest of your body and your mind to re
- 7:33:36relax and more deeply relax me more completely, letting go
- 7:33:58of any remaining thoughts or concerns, allowment just drop onto
- 7:34:11the floor because they're no longer necessary in this moment,
- 7:34:22in this moment of deep relaxation and calmness, filling your
- 7:34:35brain with deep concentrated healing, calming, relaxing, every part of
- 7:35:00your brain feeling so loose and comfortable, so relaxed and peaceful.
- 7:35:25Your brain feels so light, that's so healthy. In that
- 7:35:36sense of deep deep comfort really does allow you to
- 7:35:50enjoy those ever increase in sensations of comfort that is

- 7:36:15your body, eat deeper and deeper, much more deeper than before,

- 7:39:34Speaker 1: Amazing, so laxed, so peaceful, so last and peaceful, letting go.
- 7:40:09I'm going to do a body scan, focusing on firstly
- 7:40:15how you feel in your body, Not trying to change
- 7:40:21how you feel, not trying to relax, not trying to
- 7:40:27move away from any discomforts or stress or tension. Just accepting,
- 7:40:35observing and accepting how you feel in the different parts
- 7:40:40of your body, Just allowing yourself to be exactly as
- 7:40:47you are, to notice, to get in touch with how
- 7:40:59you actually feel in this moment. I'm going to start
- 7:41:06off by focusing on your hands. Just be aware of
- 7:41:17your hands. I'd like you to move your hands around.
- 7:41:27Just maybe move your fingers a little bit. I've been
- 7:41:33and closing your hands very gently, just so that you
- 7:41:39can get in touch with how your hands and your
- 7:41:47fingers feel, very very slow movements. Focusing now on your feet,
- 7:42:12and if you can just do kind of an equivalent
- 7:42:16with your feet is you've just done with your hands,
- 7:42:22Maybe turn in your ankles, moving your feet around, moving
- 7:42:31your toes gently, but only very gently and very slowly,
- 7:42:44noticing how your feet fell in this moment. Focusing now
- 7:43:00on your eyes, I like you to just focus on
- 7:43:07your eyelids. Maybe you can open and close your eyes
- 7:43:13a couple of times to really get in touch with
- 7:43:18how you feel when you do close your eyes. The
- 7:43:23muscle changes in your eyes when you do close them,
- 7:43:32maybe raising your eyebrows. It stretches the tops of your eyes,
- 7:43:42perhaps quinting your eyes, scrunching up your eyes, just so
- 7:43:50you can here it again in touch with all aspects
- 7:43:59of how your eyes feel.
- 7:44:06Speaker 7: Right now.
- 7:44:16Speaker 1: Now focus in on your thighs, and you know it
- 7:44:22just starts you to gently tense your thighs, just very
- 7:44:30very gently, just enough so you can become more atchuned
- 7:44:43to the physical sensation of your upper legs, the front
- 7:44:52of your thighs, and the backs of your thighs, sin
- 7:45:02and observing how your thighs fear. Right now, moving your
- 7:45:19focus to the back of your neck. Just noticing the
- 7:45:28back of your neck, the muscles, and of course they
- 7:45:34lead to the side of your neck. They also lead
- 7:45:39to the top of your back, which leads to your shoulders.
- 7:45:46So there's your focus on the.
- 7:45:48Speaker 7: Back of your neck.
- 7:45:51Speaker 1: Maybe you can move your head gently upwards, as if
- 7:45:58you're looking up. Maybe moving your head down as if
- 7:46:05you were looking down. Perhaps moving your head side to side,
- 7:46:13right to left. Bind me very slowly, very gently. I'm
- 7:46:27not trying to force anything. It has to be very
- 7:46:35very gentle, just so you can be more in touch
- 7:46:48with the feelings, with the sensations physical sensations of hound
- 7:47:00back of your neck fields. Right now, as we now
- 7:47:16focus on the tops of your arms, the parts where
- 7:47:24your biceps and your triceps are between your elbow and
- 7:47:29your shoulders. Should focus on those parts, the tops of
- 7:47:38your arms. You may like to just tense them, but
- 7:47:46very very gently and slowly. See you're not straining or
- 7:47:57put in any prey sure whatsoever on your arms. It's
- 7:48:07just soothly you can gain more of a sense of
- 7:48:17how your upper arms are feeling in this moment, and
- 7:48:29just noticing as you gently, very gently and slowly tighten
- 7:48:41the muscles and then let go. Notice how the tops
- 7:48:52of your arms feel right now as a now focus
- 7:49:11on your stomach, the area the lower abdomen area below
- 7:49:19your belly button, moving all the way down to your hips,
- 7:49:28just a part of your grind. Maybe you're able to
- 7:49:39tense these muscles in that area very very gently and slowly.
- 7:49:57If that's a difficult thing to maybe you can just
- 7:50:03move your body, pushing your stomach up, maybe moving a
- 7:50:13little bit to the side using your hips, just so
- 7:50:19that you can get more in tune with how your
- 7:50:27lower abdomen area is feeling in this moment. Just noticing
- 7:50:48the physical sensations or your lower abdomen as you move
- 7:51:10your attention to your mouth, notice in your lips and
- 7:51:24inside your mouth, your tea, your guns, your tongue. Just
- 7:51:42noticing how your tongue and your mouth feels. It may
- 7:51:51help by moving your tongue around your mouth, moving it
- 7:52:00to your left, maybe pressing it gently against the side
- 7:52:07of your mouth, and then to the right gently to
- 7:52:14the side of your mouth, perhaps pressing up against the
- 7:52:22top of your mouth, and then down gently against the
- 7:52:29bottom of your mouth, always very slowly and a very
- 7:52:42very gentle so that you can be aware how how
- 7:53:00you feel in your mouth area. Now I'm going to
- 7:53:22focus on your wrists and I'll ask you to maybe
- 7:53:39just routine your wrists by moving your hands in a
- 7:53:48circular motion very gently and slowly, just h so you
- 7:54:02can feel the sensations that you are currently experiencing in
- 7:54:26your risks. Perhaps smooth in your hands up and down
- 7:54:39again very very gently and slowly, the a gent and slow.
- 7:55:20Speaker 17: As you now.
- 7:55:23Speaker 1: Start to observe in lower back, that bad part is
- 7:55:40just above of your hips, where your cosix are a
- 7:55:55whole area which also really doesn't include food the side
- 7:56:02of your body, because those muscles are very much connected
- 7:56:13there's those muscles also move into your hip area connecting
- 7:56:20to your buttocks the sides of your hips, and if
- 7:56:35you're physically able to do so, maybe you can very
- 7:56:45gently just move your body eviss slightly, very slowly some
- 7:57:01side to side, just enough to gauge how you feel
- 7:57:21in your lower back. Perhaps it could even move your
- 7:57:36hips gently up and down gently, slowly in order to
- 7:57:52re be in touch with the physical sensations of your
- 7:58:05law back as we know live.
- 7:58:28Speaker 2: Your attention.
- 7:58:33Speaker 1: To your jaw, that area from your chin all the
- 7:58:41way up to near where your ears are. Oh, your jaw,
- 7:59:00you can just yeah, it's okay to do so. Gently
- 7:59:08open your mouth, not wide, no stretching, just very gently
- 7:59:18and slowly opening your mouth, in closing your mouth very
- 7:59:33gently and slowly, so you can be in touch with
- 7:59:58how you're chore feels.
- 8:00:04Speaker 7: Now.
- 8:00:31Speaker 1: And I'm just sitting down the chest area. You don't
- 8:00:46need to do anything to move your chest because it
- 8:00:54moves every time you breathe. It moves very gently and slowly,
- 8:01:10automatically re each bread you tank. As you focus on
- 8:01:28how your chest feels when you pray, move in your
- 8:02:12focus to your forearms, your elbows. Maybe you're able to
- 8:02:30very gently and slowly tense the muscles in your forearms,
- 8:02:45and when you do that, you can feel your elbows
- 8:02:52as well, very gently and slowly, gently and softly am
- 8:03:29sad your forearms and delpos No. Focus the rest of
- 8:04:07your back, your upper back and the middle the middle
- 8:04:21of your back again this part of your body.
- 8:04:40Speaker 7: News.
- 8:04:42Speaker 1: Also, every time you pray, you may not notice that
- 8:04:54usually Mas, you sir, your upper back, in the middle
- 8:05:06of your back. You can really feel that gentle and
- 8:05:31moment moving your focus.
- 8:06:10Speaker 7: Into your.
- 8:06:12Speaker 1: Area of butteries of brain, those muscles, and those bones
- 8:06:28in your midsection. Just noticing how your hips.
- 8:07:04Speaker 17: Feel.
- 8:07:08Speaker 1: Right now, you can very very gently you lose your
- 8:07:25hips maybe side to side very gently and y very
- 8:08:01yeah sort of and no, everything starts to slow down,
- 8:08:39including the thoughts in your mind and your mind itself
- 8:08:48just starts to gradually. It doesn't have to be instant,
- 8:08:55but just gradually starting too. It's almost like time is
- 8:09:03storing chin. It's a slower pace to maybe what you're
- 8:09:15used to in your day to day life. It's a
- 8:09:22slower movement of energy, very small movements which make up
- 8:09:50the larger movements, which is always the case. Now, when
- 8:09:57you move your hand, it might seem like it's one movement,
- 8:10:03but it's lots of minute different muscles moving in accordance
- 8:10:11with each other. And what happens in this space that
- 8:10:22we're sharing is we move from that big movement into
- 8:10:41those smaller movements, starting to focus on how your body feels,
- 8:11:00not just as a whole, not just oh, i'm feel
- 8:11:05in this way, I'm feeling stressed or tense, or I'm
- 8:11:10feeling relaxed and calm. I'm feeling this way. I'm feeling
- 8:11:15that way. Starting to notice that your body begins to
- 8:11:26present to you small feelings around your body, small physical
- 8:11:44sensations in your legs, whether pleasurable or not. Maybe resisting
- 8:12:03the temptation to label them or to judge them, those feelings,
- 8:12:13just thinking them, thinking about them is just being neutral,
- 8:12:20just feelings, not being particularly concerned, but just noticing what
- 8:12:36your body is telling you. The feelings in your arms,
- 8:12:52instead of feeling the whole of the arm, maybe notice
- 8:12:57those individual feelings, all those different muscles and the skin,
- 8:13:13the hairs of your arms, all the internal parts of
- 8:13:19your arms, the veins, the bones, just being aware of
- 8:13:39maybe your elbow on your right arm has a certain feeling.
- 8:13:47Maybe your left wrist also has its own individual physical sensation.
- 8:14:13Speaker 21: What about your forearm when your right arm, you're right forearm,
- 8:14:27there may not be any particular.
- 8:14:32Speaker 1: Feeling that you could even give a name to, may
- 8:14:40not feel like anything other than just a feeling. Yeah,
- 8:14:46it's there. The feelings in your shoulders. Perhaps your shoulders
- 8:14:58when you think about them, kind of almost like they're
- 8:15:02the same, you know, the same feeling, almost like you
- 8:15:09both of your shoulders are just one thing. Of course
- 8:15:13they're not. And when you focus on your left shoulder
- 8:15:27and then on your right shoulder, maybe find that you
- 8:15:34move the muscles a little bit, maybe tense the muscles gently,
- 8:15:45noticing the difference in each shoulder. Your lower back, the
- 8:16:17left side of your lower back and the right side
- 8:16:21of your lower back. Of course that connection to your
- 8:16:32buttocks and to your hips, and also moving up into
- 8:16:46the middle of your back. And sometimes like right now,
- 8:16:59actually when I focus on their part, when I focused
- 8:17:03on my buttocks and then I focused on the middle
- 8:17:09of my back, it almost felt like the muscles in
- 8:17:12my lower back were being stretched very gently, just stretched
- 8:17:22a little bit. Even though I wasn't doing anything to
- 8:17:30try to stretch your lower back, it just seemed to happen.
- 8:17:37The feeling of very gently stretching your lower back comes along.
- 8:17:59I have fear in your chest, just noticing what sensations
- 8:18:24you are experiencing in your chest right now. And there's
- 8:18:41so much of the chest obviously there's the collar bone
- 8:18:46leading to the chest. You've got the chest bone, you've
- 8:18:52got the muscles in your chest. Course, if you're female,
- 8:19:01there's possibly the breasts. Your male you've got the different
- 8:19:13well why not that different these days, But there may
- 8:19:17be more muscles at the top of the chest, but
- 8:19:26at the side underneath, it's pretty much the same. Whether
- 8:19:31you're a man or a woman. There's muscles there, muscles
- 8:19:36that stretch out to your back as well as breast
- 8:19:41tissue which stretches and moves into your back. To just
- 8:19:49being aware of your chest, be with whatever feeling there
- 8:20:09is in your chest. When I noticed that, I focus
- 8:20:29on my chest, I feel it in my back and
- 8:20:37my upper back. I mean, I guess the obvious reason
- 8:20:41would be because you know, I'll breathe in in, and
- 8:20:51it stretches my chest and my back at the same time.
- 8:21:02It feels it feels okay, it doesn't feel I got
- 8:21:18a little bit of pain in my right chest, A
- 8:21:24little bit not pain, but a little discomfort, maybe stiffness possibly,
- 8:21:31I don't know. I notice my shoulders also wanting to
- 8:21:42flex for some reason. I think that's probably part of
- 8:21:47my upper back, that connection between my shoulders and my
- 8:21:55other back because I can move my shoulders and stretch
- 8:22:01the muscles in my back, moving the shoulders backwards or up,
- 8:22:11which then moves I think it's the scapulous in your back.
- 8:22:27It feels quite nice. Actually, a good thing about this
- 8:22:35is you can, if you want to, you can just
- 8:22:43flex or stimulate the various muscles in your body gently
- 8:22:56in order to get more of a sense of how
- 8:23:00they feel. And when you're relaxing and you do tense
- 8:23:15and muscle and you let it go and you let
- 8:23:19it relax, it relaxes way more than it would normally.
- 8:23:33You have to feel that you're able to do that.
- 8:23:40There's no point in doing it if there's an issue
- 8:23:46with the per part of your body. You need to
- 8:23:51be gentle with yourself at all times when relaxing deeply.
- 8:24:04It's important to be kind to yourself. As you notice
- 8:24:20your mind. How much has your mind slowed down since
- 8:24:31we started this recording.
- 8:24:50Speaker 2: How come.
- 8:24:55Speaker 1: And peaceful is your mind right now? We have nothing
- 8:25:06to think about and just my voice to listen to.
- 8:25:16Because you know, the intention behind this recording is relaxation
- 8:25:27at the very least, for you to feel more relaxed
- 8:25:34at the end of the recording than you did at
- 8:25:37the beginning, at the very least, for your mind to
- 8:25:50slow down as your body continues to relax, because that's
- 8:26:06what you want to happen. That's what you expect to happen,
- 8:26:28a relaxation to fill your body, maybe calm in your
- 8:26:46mind to the point of boredom when you start, maybe
- 8:26:56to drift away swore mist as if you moving further
- 8:27:43away from a body in your mind, just leaving them there,
- 8:28:00kind of liking it. An escape pod and the spaceship
- 8:28:04a movie, a space movie, you know, and again into
- 8:28:08a little part in it sends the man far away
- 8:28:15from the spaceship save to dream and continue to relax,
- 8:29:03drifting so slow and be so.
- 8:29:54Speaker 7: So rare.
- 8:30:08Speaker 1: And peace and focusing on the feving of those individual
- 8:30:43parts of your body. That's a relaxing. One by one,
- 8:31:01you may find that every now and then you realize
- 8:31:13that you aren't listening to my voice because your mind
- 8:31:25started to imagine something different, maybe started to almost move
- 8:31:40into some kind of a dreamy state. And then you
- 8:31:49become aware of my voice again. And even though you
- 8:31:57may want to focus on my voice, you may also
- 8:32:04wish to allow your mind to just drift naturally into
- 8:32:18that space of comfort and safety. As you feel more,
- 8:32:40comfort spreading through your body like a warm blanket covering
- 8:32:53you gently, keeping your body at just the perfect temperature.
- 8:33:17And even if you can hear background sounds, they just
- 8:33:29don't seem to matter anymore. There's that sensor peace spreads
- 8:33:47through your mind like a gentle grease. Yeah, strong enough
- 8:34:01to blow away all negativity, strong.
- 8:34:12Speaker 17: Enough to.
- 8:34:16Speaker 1: Remove from your mind any anxiety or stress that was
- 8:34:26there before, and blow away any other thoughts or feelings
- 8:34:41that just don't fit with the sense relaxation, that is
- 8:35:07feeling your body and your mind. Unless you focus on
- 8:35:33your mind and count down from ten down to one,
- 8:35:40and with each number you hear, your mind will become
- 8:35:57slightly more relaxed, just just slightly. From ten down to nine,
- 8:36:18just a slime movement. From nine down to eight, just
- 8:36:25another small change in how you feel. Eight down to seven.
- 8:36:45That feeling is a gap, almost like a gap that
- 8:36:51starts to get wider, the gap between those feelings that
- 8:37:01you used to have in your mind compared to the
- 8:37:08feelings you have the growing now feelings of comfort and
- 8:37:15security and confidence, and the gap becomes wider. Eight down
- 8:37:27to seven, seven, down to six. When you get to five,
- 8:37:37the mind will start to have a certain physical sensation,
- 8:37:51most like this is a magnet outside of your head,
- 8:37:56sucking pretension and a stress and any remaining feelings that
- 8:38:03you don't want, sucking them out through your skull. And
- 8:38:14in down to four you can start to really experience
- 8:38:21that sense of not just emptiness, but space, a place
- 8:38:34full of fresh air, place where you can stretch. It's
- 8:38:46almost as if as you go down to four and three,
- 8:38:50your mind is expanding with this sense of peace and
- 8:39:01tranquility growing.
- 8:39:05Speaker 17: Then moves down to.
- 8:39:10Speaker 1: When you get to one, your mind just feels exactly
- 8:39:20how you want to feel, almost perfect feeling, maybe the
- 8:39:39sensation that.
- 8:39:42Speaker 17: You'd like to keep.
- 8:39:47Speaker 1: A place that's safe, where nothing can affect you at all,
- 8:40:09and you can stay in that that space of comfort
- 8:40:14and confidence, confident in your own ability to create this
- 8:40:25space and this feeling of comfort within your own mind
- 8:40:32just by counting ten down to one. And this is
- 8:40:42something that you can do yourself.
- 8:40:46Speaker 17: When you're on your.
- 8:40:47Speaker 1: Own, the time when you can maybe sit down, maybe
- 8:40:56just for a few minutes, close your eyes, just counts
- 8:41:07slowly from ten down to one, and re experience these
- 8:41:21feelings in your mind. And when you feel that way
- 8:41:32in your mind, your body copies your mind, and that
- 8:41:47feeling is spread through your spine and your nervous system
- 8:41:54into every part of your body, travel through your blood stream,
- 8:42:07heathing and relaxing every particle of your existence. Now we
- 8:42:28can we can practice this a few times before the
- 8:42:37end of the recording, and then you can practice on
- 8:42:41your own. Each time you count for ten about one,
- 8:42:53the feelings of comfort, calmness, and deep deep relaxation becomes
- 8:43:05stronger and deeper feeling your mind and your brain. With
- 8:43:21these positive chemicals, the spread through your body, relaxing you
- 8:43:32so quickly, relaxing your whole body and mind so very
- 8:43:44very easily, just by counting.
- 8:43:51Speaker 17: Dam down to one. So we're going to do now.
- 8:44:02Speaker 1: I'm going to count from ten down to one. I'd
- 8:44:06like you to repeat the number after me. So when
- 8:44:11I say ten, you can just repeat to yourself ten.
- 8:44:25Just notice, be aware of how you feel in your
- 8:44:34mind and your body. Then when I say nine, you
- 8:44:44can repeat to yourself nine again, noticing the increase in
- 8:45:00comfort and calmness in your mind and in your body.
- 8:45:14The same wanna say eight. When I say seven, six,
- 8:45:26I want to say five, four, when I say three two,
- 8:45:45And lastly, when I say one, can you beat that number?
- 8:45:58And of course we you do this on your own
- 8:46:04without listening to me. You can say the numbers or
- 8:46:09whatever speed that you feel is necessary for you, so
- 8:46:19you can adapt. So if you feel you want to
- 8:46:25say the numbers ten down to one faster than I do,
- 8:46:33then you go ahead and do that. Or if you
- 8:46:36feel when you do it yourself that you'd like to
- 8:46:40have more more space between the numbers, maybe take a
- 8:46:48lot longer to get from ten all the way down
- 8:46:56to one, that's your choice also to do. So I'm
- 8:47:13gonna count from ten down.
- 8:47:15Speaker 17: To one, and when I get to one, that will.
- 8:47:24Speaker 1: At the end of this recording and less, of course,
- 8:47:29you're listening to music, and the music will continue ten ninettas.
- 8:48:19Speaker 22: F assassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst.
- 8:51:13Speaker 23: U u u u u u u u u u.
- 8:51:55Speaker 1: U twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two,
- 8:53:50one now in your eyes, noticing how you physically feel
- 8:54:09having counted down from twenty to one, allowing stress and
- 8:54:17tension to leave through your fingertips and your toes. And
- 8:54:22as you focus on your fingertips, maybe they feel a
- 8:54:27little bit tingly, which is I suppose quite an understanding,
- 8:54:34considering attention has been exiting your body through your fingertips.
- 8:54:45So now I'm going to count from twenty down to
- 8:54:47one again. This time you're going to feel relief of
- 8:54:55tension and stress, any anxiety that you may have leaving
- 8:55:08through your stomach, just leaving through your stomach, almost as
- 8:55:14if it's just releasing the hold of your stomach will
- 8:55:20naval to just above your chest or below your chest,
- 8:55:25rather so surrounding your belly by an area, the whole area.
- 8:55:32You can feel the tension of your body wherever it's left,
- 8:55:37just releasing from that area, and you may notice that
- 8:55:42your stomach.
- 8:55:43Speaker 17: Will become very relaxed.
- 8:55:46Speaker 1: As I countdown from twenty down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten,
- 8:56:50nine eight seven six, why ooh, three two? What? And
- 8:57:32you can open your eyes again if you choose, but
- 8:57:35I can just keep them closed because the girls relaxing.
- 8:57:41Just notice saying your stomach, girl's notice as your focus.
- 8:57:46Just do a little scan of your body, not to
- 8:57:51saying your body of girls focusing and a body bag, chest, stomach,
- 8:58:02lax arms, hands, feet, just noticing, and you know, you
- 8:58:13may start to do more a sense of tiredness, which
- 8:58:20may be the reason listening to this according because.
- 8:58:25Speaker 17: You would like to.
- 8:58:29Speaker 1: Let go completely of everything and dread of into a nice, natural, calm,
- 8:58:41relaxing sleep. So now the focus on your forehead, and
- 8:59:00if you choose, you can incorporate your eyes in this
- 8:59:03focus as well. Your forehead and your eyes, it's that
- 8:59:10whole area basically almost as if you were wearing a mask,
- 8:59:15you know.
- 8:59:16Speaker 17: Like a.
- 8:59:18Speaker 1: I don't know, a Batman mask or something, or I'm
- 8:59:23trying to zorro or something, you know, the kind of
- 8:59:26mask that covers your eyes but also covers quite a
- 8:59:29lot of the forehead. They're focusing on that area because
- 8:59:36that's the area that we're now going to release tension
- 8:59:40and stress from your mind and your brain, from your mind,
- 8:59:45and any tension that you may have remaining in your
- 8:59:49face in your neck and your jaw, and your eyes,
- 8:59:55your forehead or your scalp. It's basically any tension within
- 9:00:02your head area, including your mind and your breath that's
- 9:00:11going to be released through your forehead and your eyes.

- 9:02:38neck and the throat.
- 9:02:41Speaker 17: Hm m hmmm.
- 9:02:46Speaker 1: Noticing being aware of the comfort increased in the relaxation,
- 9:02:59not just in my head and neck and mind, also
- 9:03:04the rest of your body.
- 9:03:11Speaker 17: It is how loose.
- 9:03:14Speaker 1: And calm you are, and how easily.
- 9:03:20Speaker 17: It is to just let go.
- 9:03:24Speaker 24: Completely, let go completely, how easily.
- 9:03:47Speaker 17: That's what I'm going to do now, is.
- 9:03:50Speaker 1: To focus on the top of your head.
- 9:03:58Speaker 17: How am I going to allow.
- 9:04:01Speaker 1: Every last piece of tension or stress the mind and
- 9:04:09lingering or hiding in your body or mind of.
- 9:04:14Speaker 17: Head to just be sucked out at the top of
- 9:04:21your head.
- 9:04:24Speaker 1: Released and yeahs sacked down into the clouds. Imagine people
- 9:04:36aloud of put your head. It's like a whirlpool and.
- 9:04:42Speaker 17: This can suck that tension now at the top of
- 9:04:47your head and just take you away.
- 9:04:53Speaker 1: Good to focus. Imagine an opening top of your head
- 9:05:02with a tension, stress and in remaining issues, maybe worries
- 9:05:08of concerns that no use to you now can all be.
- 9:05:14Speaker 17: Sucked down at the top of my head.
- 9:05:17Speaker 1: I've taken away as I count down again from twenty
- 9:05:23down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen,
- 9:06:09four thirteen, even nine eight seven six.
- 9:07:06Speaker 17: By woh.
- 9:07:16Speaker 1: Three wah upream. I'm noticing how you feel, how relax
- 9:07:52and calm if physically and mentally felt right now, help
- 9:08:06be peace or your mind feels it feel so nice
- 9:08:15to just let go, to give yourself some space to
- 9:08:22breathe easily, to think calmly, and just to take a
- 9:08:33break from all that pointless worry concerns about things.
- 9:08:41Speaker 17: That you don't need to think about.
- 9:08:47Speaker 1: Right now, because this is your time to let go.
- 9:08:56This is your space to enjoy feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful
- 9:09:05in your mind, relaxed in your body. I can feel
- 9:09:13so good, so nice to just not have to do anything,
- 9:09:25to be able to really enjoy that serenity that comes
- 9:09:36and letting go completely that peacefulness that comes with.
- 9:09:49Speaker 17: Being in this.
- 9:09:52Speaker 1: Peaceful space. And you can keep this sense of calmness
- 9:10:03for as long as you choose. If you choose to
- 9:10:14drift on into a deep, healing, natural sleep, then you
- 9:10:22can do that. It's completely up to you, and you
- 9:10:33can keep this feeling of calmness physically meaning your mind,
- 9:10:39as long as you choose to feel completely relaxed, completely relaxed.
- 9:10:58I'd like you to make up your mind that you're
- 9:11:03going to relax, and I want to explore that with you.
- 9:11:15What it feels like when you actually decide that you're
- 9:11:22going to relax, not forcing yourself, but giving yourself that. Yes,
- 9:11:31it is a command, really, isn't it. When you're telling
- 9:11:34yourself relax in a gentle but firm way, that only.
- 9:11:43Speaker 17: You can really tell your something in that way.
- 9:11:48Speaker 1: You can't really have someone else saying to you, now
- 9:11:50it relax, relax.
- 9:11:53Speaker 17: You know it needs to be.
- 9:11:56Speaker 1: Gentle, but you can't. Someone else can't really have the
- 9:12:00same the same kind of influence or power that you
- 9:12:10have over your own physicality, over how you feel, because
- 9:12:23when you say it to yourself, it means more. It's personal,
- 9:12:30and your brain and your unconscious mind and your body
- 9:12:37listens to what you say. So for example, we'll test
- 9:12:43it out and do a little tests, do little tests
- 9:12:46along the way, and you can get more of an
- 9:12:50idea of the force, the positive force that you can
- 9:12:56have in creating a sense of comfort and relaxation in
- 9:13:04your body and your mind quite quickly just by you
- 9:13:11telling yourself to relax. So I'm going to start by
- 9:13:21it's focused on your hands. To focus on your hands
- 9:13:27and just tell your hands to relax. Just say relax.
- 9:13:34As you focus on your hands, you could say my
- 9:13:40hands are relaxed, or I want my hands to relax.
- 9:13:46I think if you actually do it directly by focusing
- 9:13:52and imagining that your hands can hear what you're saying.
- 9:13:56Speaker 17: You know they've got little ears. It's a little weird.
- 9:14:02Speaker 1: So talking to your hands and just say relax, you
- 9:14:12know just.
- 9:14:19Speaker 17: How your hands start to relax.
- 9:14:33Speaker 1: Now focus on your eyes and tell your eyes to relax.
- 9:14:38You're just saying the same word relax. And find the
- 9:14:43right tone for you. You know, I might say relax,
- 9:14:51but you you might say relax or relax. You know,
- 9:14:59you might say it differently to yourself, and that's important
- 9:15:06for you to gauge what feels right for you. You
- 9:15:12just tell your eyes to relax whilst focusing on your eyes,
- 9:15:18your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eyebrows, and
- 9:15:23just tell your eyes directly relax now. Now, I just
- 9:15:58did that myself, and sometimes you may feel.
- 9:16:08Speaker 17: That you need a bit more time.
- 9:16:12Speaker 1: Or the different parts to relax, you know, because I
- 9:16:16started talking again and maybe that part hasn't relaxed fully.
- 9:16:22But what happened is that will just continue to relax
- 9:16:24even though I'm talking. And that's happening with my eyes.
- 9:16:32Something else I noticed is when I started focusing on
- 9:16:36my eyes, that actually almost became They.
- 9:16:40Speaker 17: Got worse before they got better in a way.
- 9:16:42Speaker 1: So I felt a degree of tension growing in my
- 9:16:45eyes and then disappearing. So I think what that was
- 9:16:52really was just me becoming more aware of the tension
- 9:16:58that was already there. I wasn't I wasn't focused on
- 9:17:02it before. I wasn't really acknowledging it or really conscious
- 9:17:12to those feelings. Yeah, my eyes is still continuing to relax.
- 9:17:26Speaker 17: As well as my hands. Actually, my hands have got
- 9:17:32a certain kind of.
- 9:17:36Speaker 1: Energy like not.
- 9:17:37Speaker 17: I think that I can kind of.
- 9:17:41Speaker 1: Funeral degree of energy in my hands. Maybe that's where
- 9:17:47the tension is being released. Maybe that supports in that
- 9:17:59the next part. I think you should focus.
- 9:18:01Speaker 17: On the back of the neck. That's a part which
- 9:18:04is quite often.
- 9:18:06Speaker 1: Or for me, holds tension. They're about for yourself, but
- 9:18:10I think it's quite a standard place where tension is
- 9:18:15sometimes held. So, and I'm doing it exactly what you're
- 9:18:21doing as you do it as well, So I'm telling
- 9:18:24my body parts to.
- 9:18:26Speaker 17: Relax as well. So if you tell your neck the
- 9:18:29back of your.
- 9:18:30Speaker 1: Neck, focus on the back of your neck and just
- 9:18:33say relax in your own words, in your own tone,
- 9:18:40in your own voice.
- 9:18:42Speaker 17: You can say out loud, or you can just say it.
- 9:18:44Speaker 1: To yourself internally. But you're focusing, and you're saying it
- 9:18:50literally to the back of your.
- 9:18:52Speaker 17: Neck, as if the back of your neck can actually
- 9:18:56hear what you're saying.
- 9:19:00Speaker 23: Yah.
- 9:19:01Speaker 17: So did that now to say next to the back
- 9:19:05of your neck?
- 9:19:06Speaker 1: And I did the same, And what I noticed, and
- 9:19:48you may have a similar things. Even though I was
- 9:19:53focusing on the back of the neck, I my parts
- 9:20:01started to I don't know, showed themselves to me or
- 9:20:07maybe because they want to be relaxed as well. But
- 9:20:10I started noticing the feelings in my shoulders, attention in
- 9:20:15my shoulders and in my upper back. Whether that was
- 9:20:20because my back of my neck was saying I'm pretty
- 9:20:26much okay, it's the other parts that need attention, but
- 9:20:37my lobe, my my back of my neck is still relaxing,
- 9:20:42but I just became aware of other parts that needed attention.
- 9:20:49Speaker 17: Now, this might happen, and it's not.
- 9:20:53Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that it's going any wrong. It just
- 9:20:55means you're being notified your places.
- 9:21:01Speaker 17: But also wants to feel relaxed.
- 9:21:06Speaker 1: So I'm going to focus on my upper back.
- 9:21:11Speaker 17: So you can do the same. Even if you don't have.
- 9:21:15Speaker 1: Any feelings of tension that obvious in your upper back.
- 9:21:22You just focus on your back and the whole area
- 9:21:27from the shoulder blades down to the middle of your
- 9:21:32back and the spine and the med's more the shoulder.
- 9:21:37Speaker 17: Blades that are more. Yeah, that's the parts that we
- 9:21:46sort of giving me the nod that you need to
- 9:21:52relax in the souls to ask that part to relax,
- 9:21:56and you can do the same now.
- 9:22:09Speaker 1: Relapsed about the back, There's something strange happened there, And this.
- 9:22:27Speaker 17: Often happens.
- 9:22:28Speaker 23: I've been doing this for.
- 9:22:31Speaker 1: For sixteen years or something, and often one surprised that
- 9:22:39amazed really bad.
- 9:22:42Speaker 17: There can be a feeling.
- 9:22:45Speaker 1: So when I was focusing on the back of my neck,
- 9:22:48my other back was starting to feel quite stressed and
- 9:22:53in need of attention. As soon as I started talking
- 9:22:59to you about my upper bank and talking about, you know,
- 9:23:04getting ready to ask the apper bat to relax, why
- 9:23:10the back already started to relax. It's almost as if
- 9:23:15it doesn't need to hear the words, just needs attention,
- 9:23:26just needs to be noticed. That is something that often
- 9:23:38happens in this type of situation is when you start
- 9:23:46to relax a couple of.
- 9:23:49Speaker 17: Parts of your body, as we've done with our hands.
- 9:23:54Speaker 1: The eyes, the eyelids, and.
- 9:23:58Speaker 23: Now back in the neck, top of the bank, up
- 9:24:06the bank.
- 9:24:08Speaker 1: The rest of the body seems to just take notice
- 9:24:15and decide in its own way to start relaxing.
