  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to let me bore you to sleep.
• 0:08
  My name's Jason Luland and this is Trivia Tuesday now.
• 0:16
  To be honest, I don't like being honest, as you know,
• 0:20
  But to be honest, I'm doing this on Wednesday because
• 0:25
  yesterday I couldn't be bothered. I couldn't do it. I
• 0:29
  just I was busy, not busy, but a neighbor knocked
• 0:35
  and had a a chat, and time went by and
• 0:48
  before I knew it, it was time to go bye byes.
• 0:55
  So I didn't do it. And the weather's changed, not
• 1:00
  not that that should really be a reason, but it's
• 1:07
  nine twenty two in the morning, and really I need
• 1:15
  the light on. It's like early evening here lightwise inside
• 1:23
  days now. If I was going to read a book,
• 1:27
  I would need the light on, or a paper or something,
• 1:32
  you know, something like that. Luckily, with computers, you know,
• 1:37
  there's a light on in the behind the screen, isn't there,
• 1:40
  So I ain't got to worry about that. But if
• 1:43
  I was sitting here writing stuff down, I would need
• 1:45
  to have the light on at nine twenty three in
• 1:50
  the morning. It's kind of weird, honestly, And I haven't
• 1:57
  even got the curtains drawn, so the curtains are open.
• 2:01
  The windows are open because it's it was cold. I
• 2:05
  put the heating on and now it's too hot for
• 2:07
  our ton. The windows weird time, it's I mean, it's
• 2:15
  only what is it, the seventeenth of September two thous
• 2:20
  and and twenty five. Hmmm, that's kind of I think
• 2:31
  that's the thing about this time of year. Not this
• 2:35
  time of year, but like between now and March oct Jenney,
• 2:42
  there's only six months and between you get a lot
• 2:46
  of these days. And you know, during any in England
• 2:50
  or where I live anyway, this is kind of standard
• 2:55
  sort of lighting during the day for a good couple
• 2:59
  of months, like December, January, maybe part of November. I
• 3:10
  don't remember it normally being quite like this in September.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: M m.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: It's just really I can't I can't really show you
• 3:21
  because if I took a picture, it doesn't give you
• 3:25
  a gauge. Really. I mean, it's never like super bright
• 3:29
  inside here anyway, because there is a tree that's blocking
• 3:33
  a fair bit of like sunlight when the sun's out. Yeah,
• 3:42
  it's a little bit dull. Please only listen when you
• 3:46
  can safe the close your eyes. My website is let
• 3:53
  me bore you to sleep dot com. What else can
• 3:59
  I tell you? Not really much. I just yeah, everything's okay.
• 4:10
  I I slept last night and then I got up.
• 4:20
  I dreamt Vinny is now in my dreams with me,
• 4:27
  which I don't know if that's normal or weird, I
• 4:34
  don't know, but yeah, he's in my dreams, so he
• 4:41
  accompanies me wherever I go, just like in real life.
• 4:47
  By the way, I've got Q and A Friday coming
• 4:50
  up this week, which is in two days. It's Wednesday today.
• 4:56
  So I have posted on my my Facebook group, which
• 5:03
  is Jason Newland's Boring Group, but I haven't had any
• 5:07
  questions yet. Had two people like it the post I put,
• 5:11
  but no questions. So please go to the page Jason
• 5:15
  Newland's Boring Group on Facebook and ask me some questions
• 5:20
  if you'd like to. And I should also say welcome
• 5:25
  to the newest members of the group, which would be
• 5:34
  Sue Brooke, Janice Patrick, Camilla, Melenis, Marina, Mary Forge, Vivek
• 5:51
  Fari Bada and Peter so Yeah and Andy. So that's
• 6:02
  like the last few that have joined. So thank you
• 6:05
  for being part of this Shoper Grove group. The link
• 6:13
  is on my website if you want to find it.
• 6:15
  If you can't find it is I think it should
• 6:19
  be quite easy to find. So here we go. So
• 6:25
  this is time for trivia Tuesday. I need to figure
• 6:31
  out a For some reason, I'm very focused on light today.
• 6:47
  So what are the shortest day's longest days? Or shall
• 6:54
  I do weather? Because really weird because if I just
• 7:00
  what's the shortest days of the year, there's one short day,
• 7:06
  then there's one longest day, longest days in the summer,
• 7:09
  shortest days in I suppose probably December or beginning of January.
• 7:23
  Let's just shucked. I could just go through countries or
• 7:27
  the shortest and longest days. Please give me shortest, shortest
• 7:40
  if I could spell, and longest days days of the
• 7:47
  year by country. Got it? The shortest and longest days
• 7:58
  of the year, depending on leitude, not the country itself. No,
• 8:06
  by country? Oh it is, oh okay, So it has
• 8:11
  example by country list all countries. The thing is it's
• 8:22
  probably going to be a lot of them. That's a
• 8:25
  huge list, almost two hundred countries. But I can absolutely
• 8:28
  create it for you. Before I dive in, I want
• 8:29
  to check list all countries. Yes, I just asked you.
• 8:33
  Just just do it, man, I'm a proper task master,
• 8:40
  mask tasker. Right. I'll start off with the general rules.
• 8:46
  It says equator equator, zero latitude equator. Sorry, day length
• 8:57
  barely changes after twelve hours of daylight all year. Twelve
• 9:04
  hours of daylight all year in the equator, so it's
• 9:11
  like twelve hours daylight twelve hours night and the kind
• 9:15
  of stays the same length. I am kind of ad libbing,
• 9:20
  but fair enough. Tropics up to I don't know what
• 9:28
  that means. Variation is small. The longest thirteen hours, shortest
• 9:33
  is eleven hours, so there's not a lot of differences there.
• 9:40
  Mid latitudes, which would be UK, USA, Europe, China bigger swings.
• 9:50
  So longest days sixteen to seventeen hours, shortest days seven
• 9:55
  to eight hours. Arctic Antarctic circle at least one day
• 10:05
  with twenty four hour daylight midnight Sunday okay specific and
• 10:14
  one with twenty four hour darkness polar night. Does that
• 10:25
  mean continuous So twenty four hours of light, twenty four
• 10:29
  hours of darkness, twenty four hours of light, twenty four
• 10:32
  hour darkness. See. If that's the case, that must have
• 10:39
  been really weird for people that were traveling up there
• 10:42
  to kind of try and climb a mountain or something
• 10:47
  and thinking, Wow, time just slows down when we're here.
• 10:53
  This is brilliant. This is been light for age years,
• 10:58
  the days We've got so much done, and then they
• 11:02
  go to sleep and think, God, it's light again. I
• 11:06
  feel so refreshed. I feel like I've been asleep forever.
• 11:10
  So poles one continuous six month day and one continuous
• 11:17
  six month night each year. Yeah, I've heard about that.
• 11:22
  That's got to be very, very strange. So that's a
• 11:26
  North and South pole or North South pole, one continuous
• 11:31
  six month day, one continuous six month night. I'd like
• 11:35
  to visit that just to see what that's like. It's
• 11:42
  gotta be weird because so that means the moon never
• 11:50
  comes out. Where does the moon go? Where does the
• 11:54
  sun go? After the six months? The sun just goes
• 11:56
  on holiday meanwhile, and go somewhere hot with it. But
• 12:01
  what we're I mean the moon, what happens to the moon?
• 12:06
  So can you literally during the night, where does the
• 12:08
  sun go for six months? That's strange, isn't it? Unless
• 12:16
  it's literally because of the mountains are so maybe it's
• 12:19
  because of the mountains. They're so big that the sun
• 12:23
  can't penetrate them. That's a problem. The sun's been trying
• 12:28
  to penetrate the mountains for years, but he can't. Perhaps
• 12:32
  they just don't get on examples by country. So let's
• 12:37
  have a look. Here's a complete that's what I'm using
• 12:46
  chat GPT. Right, there's a huge list, almost two hundred countries.
• 12:51
  But I can actually absolutely absolutely create it for you.
• 12:56
  List all countries alphabetically with their shortest the longest day lengths. M.
• 13:09
  It's not given it to me. It's just given me
• 13:11
  loads and loads of countries. Yes, I'm going to see
• 13:18
  if they can do that. Yes, please, because this offered
• 13:21
  me maybe to tell me ones that they can give
• 13:24
  me the shortest and longest days. But before that has
• 13:28
  given me a list of some So Ecuador longest days
• 13:36
  twelve hours seven minutes. So that's Ecuador, Kenya near equator equator.
• 13:43
  I keep no Ecuador, yeah, near equator, Kenya, Keny is
• 13:51
  near the equator. Okay, I didn't know that. Longest day
• 13:59
  twelve hours seven minutes. Shortest day eleven hours fifty three minutes.
• 14:06
  So they have long days. It's basically like pretty much
• 14:12
  twelve twelve, isn't it. Twelve hours of dark, twelve hours
• 14:15
  of sun kind of all year round, with a few
• 14:20
  minutes in between. Literally, I mean that's seven minutes either way.
• 14:27
  So wow, it is fourteen minutes. So there can be
• 14:38
  fourteen minutes difference in the entire year between the longest
• 14:42
  day and the shortest day. That's absolutely And then you've
• 14:49
  got UK London, so oh, it's going to give me
• 14:54
  the actual date. That's nice. Around June twenty first, London.
• 15:00
  The longest day is sixteen hours forty minutes. The shortest
• 15:04
  day around the twenty first of December. I thought it
• 15:07
  was around December time, seven hours fifty minutes. The good
• 15:15
  thing about the shortest day is knowing that every single
• 15:20
  day afterwards the day is going to get longer. And
• 15:28
  I don't know, just there's something quite nice about that.
• 15:32
  I mean, it takes a while, it does. But you know,
• 15:36
  there was a time when I'd be up till four
• 15:39
  in the morning, sometimes eight in the morning. I'd be
• 15:42
  awake all night for years and years and years. And
• 15:47
  what I noticed in the summer, like well, in the
• 15:51
  spring rather really, so when you forget get to like
• 15:54
  March April kind of those kind of months. It's light
• 16:02
  so early in the morning and it really gets early quick.
• 16:07
  It's like the time seems to just I don't know.
• 16:13
  It's it's quite nice and the birds are up and singing,
• 16:16
  and you know you can look out and see them
• 16:18
  having a shower, brushing their teeth, you know, tucking into
• 16:22
  their corn flakes they did, They all really getting ready. Okay,
• 16:26
  they're worring flakes. New York longest day is fifteen hours,
• 16:37
  shortest days nine hours. So so far the UK has
• 16:48
  got the shortest day out of anyone. Also the longest day,
• 16:56
  oh no, yeah, just by ten minutes. Austraia longest day
• 17:05
  December twenty first, it's the summer solstice fourteen hours twenty minutes,
• 17:13
  so it's not as long as we have. Well, so
• 17:15
  we're doing all right, and we really shortest days June
• 17:28
  twenty first, nine hours fifty minutes. So it's literally the
• 17:35
  exact opposite of us in the UK. In Australia it's
• 17:40
  like the mirror image sixteen out or the opposite image. Rather,
• 17:46
  that's not really a mirror image, is it. But then
• 17:48
  if you look at a mirror, it's back to front,
• 17:50
  isn't it. People use the word in the mirriage, in
• 17:55
  the mirriage mirror image in the wrong way, don't they really?
• 17:58
  I think when I say it was like looking at
• 18:01
  someone's like a mirror image, which technically if someone looks
• 18:06
  right like you and you're facing them, and if they
• 18:13
  were your doppel ganger or whatever, or your twin, then
• 18:19
  that would be like looking in the mirror, and that'd
• 18:21
  be an imm mirriage. I can't say that. My words
• 18:24
  all back to front these days, so an IMMI mirriage.
• 18:27
  And but at the same time, it's also back to front,
• 18:33
  isn't it, So it's not really a mirror image. I
• 18:39
  wonder where imma merriage came from. Way you think words
• 18:45
  sentences would be quite easy for me, wouldn't you really?
• 18:48
  Considering an amount of talking I've done over the years.
• 19:00
  That's got to be weird. How do people in Australia
• 19:03
  get used to it being warm in the winter? How
• 19:10
  do you get used to that? Could you imagine like
• 19:19
  it's warm in the winter. But you know what Australia do.
• 19:24
  They do it wrong. They they do it back to front.
• 19:29
  They say, oh, the summertime is their winter. No, it's
• 19:36
  still summer. It's just you're getting bad weather. December, November, December, January,
• 19:46
  February or whatever or January. That's winter still. Just because
• 19:51
  you're getting nice weather, it's still winter. Don't call it summer.
• 19:55
  You got it wrong. Canada longest day sixteen hours thirty minutes.
• 20:05
  Shortest day seven hours thirty minutes. So we're still ahead.
• 20:15
  Looks like we're still ahead. The UK is still ahead.
• 20:17
  For the longest day we so far have all these countries. Nope,
• 20:24
  just got to Iceland. Iceland. Wow, longest day twenty one
• 20:32
  hours daylight. Shortest day three to four hours daylight. But
• 20:42
  then if you look at the UK, where are we?
• 20:49
  Okay seven hours fifteen minutes eight so it's double but okay,
• 20:56
  fair enough. We don't have the shortest day, but Iceland
• 20:58
  do three to four hours. So literally, what time does
• 21:07
  it get light in Iceland? That's gotta be really weird
• 21:17
  just to think that you've got to get you pretty
• 21:20
  much got to get everything done. So if you live
• 21:24
  in Iceland, maybe let us know, do you, I mean,
• 21:34
  do the shops open outside of those four hours or
• 21:42
  does everything open and close? Because there's a lot of
• 21:45
  polar bears and stuff around. Isn't there in Iceland? I
• 21:50
  don't know. I might be was that Denmark or was
• 21:53
  that Greenland? Or I'm sure it's polar bears somewhere walking around.
• 22:02
  I don't mean like walking around doing their shopping, but
• 22:04
  walking around, not like fully clothed and gossiping about each other.
• 22:11
  But you know there's polar bears. But then twenty one
• 22:17
  hours daylight sometimes, So how does that regulate mood? And
• 22:30
  how does that How does that affect sleep? Because I'm
• 22:36
  just going back to where is it Ecuador? Not Ecuador?
• 22:46
  The are right the poles to the north pole South pole,
• 22:56
  one continuous six month day and one continue a six
• 23:00
  month night. So how does that affect people's sleeping habits?
• 23:09
  I mean, technically, I suppose if you're born there, you're
• 23:12
  acclimatized and you don't know any different. But I don't know,
• 23:19
  because I thought that the moon, the lunar kind of
• 23:25
  sequence and stuff had an effect. And that's as much
• 23:34
  as I know. I suppose you just got to get
• 23:39
  thick curtains, aren't you. Well though I can sleep in daylight,
• 23:45
  never used to be able to, but I can now.
• 23:47
  I can just go to bed in the middle of summer,
• 23:52
  you know, eleven o'clock in the morning or two in
• 23:54
  the afternoon, and I can go to sleep, just not
• 23:57
  like full eight hours sleep, but I have a nap
• 24:00
  and fall asleep. Fine, as long as Vinnie don't bark.
• 24:05
  Nothing else really bothers me, and I can have the
• 24:12
  curtains open, windows open. It's fine. I don't need it
• 24:17
  to be dark anymore. But there was a time back
• 24:20
  in nineteen ninety one, No, nineteen ninety I had this
• 24:28
  part time No, I had a full time job. I
• 24:30
  had two jobs, actually, but I moved away from London
• 24:35
  in review. I think it was March nineteen ninety it
• 24:40
  might be in February, it's around that time. And then
• 24:48
  I got a job I was going back to doing.
• 24:52
  By the way, unless you in case you wondered what
• 24:54
  the sound is in the background, it's Vinny chewing on
• 25:00
  one of his bony things. Okay, so I I still
• 25:09
  remember that conversation. It's weird because where I was living
• 25:13
  there was a phone at the bottom of the stairs,
• 25:16
  I think, and it was a payphone. So I phoned
• 25:20
  up my Actually I don't know if I phoned them up. Well,
• 25:27
  they phoned me up, but basically to let me know
• 25:30
  that there was a job. If I wanted it, I
• 25:34
  might have just phoned them up just to see how
• 25:36
  they are. And this person I used to work with,
• 25:40
  and they said, oh, there's a job Jeff has taken on.
• 25:43
  People are going to do canvasing. And he was the body.
• 25:47
  He's no longer with us, but he was sort of
• 25:49
  in charge of the canvassin for double glazing, because that's
• 25:56
  what I was doing in eighty nine nineteen eighty nine,
• 25:59
  and then lost that job because the company, the main
• 26:03
  company we were working for, decided to invest their money
• 26:07
  in advertising on radio instead of canvassing. But then and
• 26:18
  that was kind of late summer, end of the summer,
• 26:21
  sort of autumn time in nineteen eighty nine, and then
• 26:26
  nineteen ninety the same man had found another company to
• 26:36
  work for, maybe more than one actually, and we went
• 26:42
  out between I think about four o'clock in the afternoon
• 26:47
  until about eight. It was four hours work and I
• 26:53
  think it was like one hundred and twenty pound a week, so,
• 26:58
  which is pretty good back then. So I was told
• 27:05
  there's a job if you want it. So I called
• 27:07
  up Jeff and he said, yeah, if you can get
• 27:11
  back here. We can start Monday. And so I phoned
• 27:19
  my dad up and told him, and my dad said, well,
• 27:22
  you can move in here for a little while, you
• 27:24
  can stay here for a little while. So I did.
• 27:26
  I packed my bags. Didn't have much stuff literally, just
• 27:31
  probably a couple of black bags of stuff, bin bags
• 27:36
  and stuff, and then got on the train, came back
• 27:40
  or went back to my dad's, and I started working
• 27:46
  at this doing the canvassing. And then I started thinking, hmmm,
• 28:00
  it's not really I mean, it was more than what
• 28:03
  I was learning before. I was earning less than one
• 28:04
  hundred pound a week before during that period, but one
• 28:08
  hundred and twenty poundst wasn't like lots of money, but
• 28:13
  it was still, you know, twenty quid more than a
• 28:15
  while I was getting. But I wanted to. I was
• 28:22
  looking maybe get a job, like a proper job, and
• 28:29
  I applied to go and work at this meta factory
• 28:35
  that I'd already worked at twice before, so I knew
• 28:40
  people at work there, I knew some supervisors, and I
• 28:44
  kind of I didn't work my way back, but I
• 28:48
  managed to get a job interview and they took me on.
• 28:52
  But this time it was night shift, which is what
• 28:54
  I wanted because then I could continue to do the
• 28:58
  canvassing job, not really thinking too much about how much
• 29:06
  work that would be. It's a heck, you know, it's
• 29:09
  a long day. So I was starting work at ten
• 29:15
  in the evening and then I was finishing at six
• 29:21
  in the morning. I was, yeah, then I did. I'd
• 29:33
  go to bed, be in bed by seven, and i'd
• 29:39
  be up by two and i'd start working four, finish
• 29:48
  at eight. I'd normally get dropped off at home so
• 29:53
  I wouldn't have to travel, and then i'd get ready,
• 29:58
  maybe pasig to eat, and then just had to work.
• 30:01
  So that's what my week was like for I don't
• 30:07
  know a couple of months until I just it was
• 30:12
  too much. It was It's a shame because I think
• 30:17
  I was doing Saturday mornings as well in the canvasing
• 30:21
  a lot extra overtime and when they needed me, so
• 30:25
  it was a little bit too much. In retrospect, I
• 30:30
  kind of wish i'd just stuck at it and saved
• 30:32
  some money, which I didn't because since I started doing
• 30:37
  some money, I decided that I wanted to move back
• 30:41
  to London and do stand up comedy, and instead of
• 30:46
  saving money, which is what I would need to do that.
• 30:50
  I every time I got paid, I would go to
• 30:53
  London and I would buy comedy albums and comedy videos.
• 31:02
  I suppose in a way trying to learn the craft
• 31:09
  without doing it. You know, maybe if I could learn
• 31:12
  something from watching the greats performing and I didn't. I
• 31:18
  learned nothing, but that kind of became my hobby. So
• 31:25
  I didn't save a penny. However, I think it was
• 31:35
  December time I did sell my entire collection of comedy
• 31:40
  stuff for about two hundred and fifty pound and I
• 31:45
  had loads of albums, tapes, video tapes, a lot, you know,
• 31:50
  lots of stuff. So I sold it all for two
• 31:53
  hundred and fifty and that did help me to move
• 31:58
  back to London. So it kind of worked, but it did.
• 32:02
  I mean, there was probably thousands of pounds worth of
• 32:07
  stuff there, but never mind, and i'd sort of the
• 32:14
  blokes that bought this stuff was a He did stand
• 32:18
  up comedy, but as a like for charity, so he
• 32:22
  was a policeman but at the charity gear. He did
• 32:25
  charity gigs where he did stand up and he just
• 32:27
  wanted the albums just to get new jokes for his
• 32:31
  stand up show. So yeah, it all worked out. I
• 32:36
  think he was a friend of my dad, actually, unless
• 32:41
  my dad just gave him money. So just I don't
• 32:44
  care how much it costs, just pay him what he
• 32:48
  wants so that it'll move away. That might be like
• 32:53
  he wanted to move to London. Just come on. The
• 32:56
  whole of the town got together and put a pound
• 32:58
  in each. There was more than two hundred and fifty
• 33:02
  people living in that town. But you know, you get
• 33:04
  the idea. Everyone wanted me out. They are, they are,
• 33:12
  But then I remember I'm staying at my dad's. This
• 33:18
  was quite good, Like this was the best time that
• 33:23
  we kind of lived together because during the week he
• 33:28
  was at home. During the week, I was at work
• 33:33
  like nearly all the time every night, so literally he'd
• 33:39
  get home, he go to worker with sometimes cross swords,
• 33:43
  cross swords. Sometimes i'd see him in the morning. I'd
• 33:47
  be having my breakfast when he was getting up, and
• 33:50
  then I'd be going to bed. So sometimes I see
• 33:53
  him before he went to book to work, and i'd
• 33:58
  be gone before he got home. I might see him
• 34:03
  briefly for a few minutes at eight o'clock when I
• 34:06
  got back. But you know, that was kind of sometimes,
• 34:13
  and then he spent most of his weekends at his
• 34:17
  girlfriend's who ended up being his wife. So it was
• 34:23
  quite a good situation. We didn't really sort of annoy
• 34:29
  each other too much. Yeah, so that was quite cool.
• 34:38
  So it was nice, especially at the weekend. I kind
• 34:40
  of had the house to myself. Not that I needed
• 34:45
  the whole house, but it was just nice to have
• 34:47
  the TV in the living room and instead of my
• 34:51
  black and white TV upstairs, which I could have got
• 34:54
  myself a color TV. I didn't I could have done
• 34:58
  unless I did. Maybe I did have a colored TV,
• 35:03
  because I'm thinking, you know, if I had, because I've
• 35:09
  got this. Yeah, this is a thing. When I lived
• 35:13
  in nineteen eighty nine, I lived in a house, like
• 35:19
  in a room in a house, and I watched Eddie
• 35:26
  Murphy's Delirious on videotape, which meant I must have had
• 35:31
  a video recorder. There's no way I would have a
• 35:36
  video recorder with a black and white TV. That doesn't
• 35:40
  make sense. So I must have had a TV unless
• 35:45
  there was just one in a room that I was
• 35:46
  renting as possible. It is possible, but I rented that
• 35:55
  Delirious out from the video shop or borrowed it someone.
• 36:00
  I can't really remember. It's a long time ago now,
• 36:04
  I suppose I do remember the turning up for the
• 36:13
  job interview, and if nothing else, I was kind of
• 36:18
  having to explain why I had worked there twice already
• 36:28
  in the meter the meta factory, not meat but met
• 36:32
  like electric meters factory, and why I had left twice
• 36:37
  without even telling them. I just I had a habit
• 36:40
  of not telling people when I left. And because I've
• 36:44
  had like fifty odd jobs or something, so I think
• 36:49
  I had one. I had three jobs in one week once.
• 36:53
  I think this is not nineteen eighty eight. So what
• 37:01
  I did is I told the lady who was interviewing
• 37:05
  me the story of me going to Spain for the afternoon,
• 37:11
  and she found it so hilarious that she just gave
• 37:16
  me the job. I don't think she felt sorry for me,
• 37:20
  but I just you know the facts. I got ripped
• 37:24
  off by a taxi driver and I was left with
• 37:26
  no money and I just couldn't just had to come back,
• 37:30
  had no choice. And she I don't know, however, whatever
• 37:36
  it was the way I told her the story, she
• 37:38
  found it very funny. I don't quite know what I said,
• 37:41
  but she found it humorous. And if I remember, she
• 37:48
  was almost crying. I don't know if it's because she
• 37:51
  was crying from boredom or I mean she was sitting there.
• 37:54
  Maybe she had piles. I don't know, but she just
• 38:00
  could have been hemorrhoid and induced tears. But she. Yeah,
• 38:03
  she gave me the job and I started working. I
• 38:11
  had to be trained, so I think I had a
• 38:13
  week of days. So I wasn't able to do the
• 38:16
  canvasin or was I I worked nine till five. Maybe
• 38:23
  I was able to maybe they I don't know. I
• 38:29
  think I had to have a week off. But a
• 38:34
  problem I had at that time was I'd be going
• 38:42
  to sleep at seven in the morning, and because i'd
• 38:47
  get home, probably i'd probably get home about half six,
• 38:52
  have started to eat and then go to bed. So
• 38:57
  maybe it was half past seven, just trying to think
• 39:00
  for me to go to bed after eating, who knows.
• 39:04
  But really I struggled a little bit because of the
• 39:09
  light coming in. And I think my dad puts some
• 39:16
  extra thick curtains up, and he he made it. He
• 39:25
  put these curtains up, but it was like he made
• 39:27
  it from a big sign. So he pushed them over,
• 39:31
  so I had to put them over the thing. But
• 39:32
  it's this big like like fabricated sign like stitched to
• 39:41
  it as well. So when the curtains are open or
• 39:45
  closed rather, and it was covering the whole window, it
• 39:48
  was completely black, but we could see a luminous as
• 39:51
  please leave. So I'm not quite sure what that was about,
• 39:57
  please move out. And I got used to it after
• 40:02
  a while. The hardest bit was the weekends really, because
• 40:09
  I'd be finishing at six on a Friday and I
• 40:13
  wouldn't be going back till ten on a Monday in
• 40:16
  the evening on a Monday, so you could say, technically
• 40:22
  I had three days off every week. I didn't, but
• 40:26
  I kind of did. I had all day Friday, all
• 40:28
  day Saturday, no Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night, Thursday,
• 40:36
  no Friday night, so Saturday Sunday, we'll talk about two days.
• 40:42
  What was I saying three days? I know, three days
• 40:46
  because then you got the whole of Monday. So yeah,
• 40:48
  technically three days off. Bit's not you know, three whole days,
• 40:56
  but it's you know, I kind of wasn't sure what
• 41:02
  to do. I mean when I first started, I thought,
• 41:05
  now I'm just go to bed, go to bed like normal,
• 41:08
  wake up at two or three in the afternoon, and
• 41:12
  then go back to bed. Maybe try and try and
• 41:21
  just have the normal sleep patterns and wake pattern as
• 41:25
  I normally do, you know, like night shift. And that
• 41:30
  was a little bit hard because you know, back then,
• 41:35
  there was no night television really to speak of. There
• 41:38
  was a few bits and bobs on at night, but
• 41:40
  there wasn't a lot going on. There wasn't really anything
• 41:46
  to do or anywhere to go. Unlike when I moved
• 41:50
  to London, there was always stuff to do, you know,
• 41:52
  providing I could afford to get there and afford a
• 41:57
  bottle of coke or whatever while I was there an
• 42:00
  entrance fee, I could just there's always somewhere like in
• 42:05
  the West End or somewhere like that. But where I
• 42:11
  was living at the time, there was nothing there. There was,
• 42:17
  it was something. It's a nice little town, but there
• 42:19
  was nothing to do really other than maybe going into
• 42:24
  pubs and stuff. And that's at the time that really
• 42:27
  wasn't me. I wasn't really a pubby person. I'm still
• 42:31
  not really, but I definitely wasn't then. I didn't like pubs.
• 42:40
  I liked pubs when I was sixteen. But I didn't
• 42:44
  as well. I just liked it because I wasn't supposed
• 42:46
  to be in there, but it wasn't. Yeah, I never
• 42:52
  really never really got the point of it. I never
• 42:56
  really saw the point of pubs. I can see the
• 43:02
  point of them in the past, you know, with a
• 43:04
  community getting together, and but I didn't. I was never
• 43:13
  really part of any kind of community, as in like
• 43:19
  lots and lots of different people or living together in
• 43:21
  a in a room, not in a room in a road. Rather,
• 43:25
  I suppose I lived in houses where there was like
• 43:28
  a community of people living not together but separately but
• 43:34
  kind of get to know them a bit. But that
• 43:38
  going into a pub and saying a load to your
• 43:42
  calm mechanic or the person who delivers your milk or
• 43:46
  your post or the local electrician or never really kind
• 43:52
  of had that. I suppose the only closest thing I
• 43:56
  got was maybe seeing people that I worked with. That
• 44:02
  would be probably the closest thing. And even when I
• 44:06
  moved to London, really I would say the only time
• 44:11
  I went to a pub is were people that I
• 44:13
  worked with, outside of when I was going to comedy
• 44:17
  clubs or when I was dating if I dated someone
• 44:21
  and would go to a pub. But became accustomed to
• 44:34
  being able to sleep during the day. And it wasn't
• 44:39
  the last time I did night shift either. So I
• 44:41
  did night shift in nineteen ninety. I finished I think
• 44:48
  October nineteen ninety because what they did is they got
• 44:53
  rid of the night shift and they moved me onto
• 44:58
  a double shift of one week being six in the
• 45:02
  morning till two at night six in the morning til
• 45:05
  two in the afternoon other and then they'd following week
• 45:09
  two in the afternoon until ten at night. And I said,
• 45:13
  I don't want to do that, and they said, that's
• 45:16
  your new hours. I said, but I don't want to
• 45:18
  do it. And they were also making Peter redundant as well,
• 45:26
  and I just I wasn't pleased. I wasn't happy with it.
• 45:29
  So I left, just didn't go in because I only
• 45:33
  took the job on because it was night shift. I
• 45:37
  never liked the double shifts. I did that two previous
• 45:40
  times I worked there. Didn't like it because it's hard
• 45:43
  to get really, I've found it was hard to get
• 45:50
  into any kind of routine. If the hours are the
• 45:54
  same every day, then it's a routine that I can
• 46:01
  get my head around. I mean, what are you doing
• 46:05
  any there? He goes, you're dinner there? Do you want
• 46:12
  to hear? What is it? He's standing on the side
• 46:16
  of the of the settee looking at me. He doesn't
• 46:21
  really do that. He's on the armist but on this
• 46:23
  side of where I don't sit.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: You want to get on my lap?
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: You want to go on my lap? Come on, that's
• 46:31
  all right. One of the problems he has he loves
• 46:38
  to cuddle, but he doesn't like cuddling, which is a
• 46:45
  weird one and it's hard to explain. Is like if
• 46:50
  he is like he's he doesn't know whether to do
• 46:54
  it or not. So if I had to pick him up,
• 46:57
  he'll run away. But actually what he really wants is
• 47:03
  probably to lay on my lap. And he looked like
• 47:09
  he was trying to get onto my lap from over there,
• 47:12
  but as soon as I went to reach out to
• 47:13
  help him, he ran off, jumped off the chair. Don't
• 47:18
  you whether it's just that he wants attention and I
• 47:24
  wasn't giving it to him. Hey, you get my attention now,
• 47:28
  aren't you. You definitely get my attention when you bark.
• 47:33
  That's not the kind of attention you want though, is it? No, No,
• 47:39
  it's not. He's been a little bit more affectionate these
• 47:44
  days to me. Maybe he's he's just succumbed to the
• 47:52
  idea that he's stuck with me. Perhaps that's what it is.
• 47:57
  Maybe all his dreams have just faded and he's given
• 48:00
  up the hope of getting out of here, and he's
• 48:04
  just accepted his fate, that he's stuck with his old man.
• 48:10
  Is that what it is? Then, if you just accepted
• 48:13
  your fate. He doesn't have it too bad, he can't.
• 48:20
  I mean, he gets out at least three times a day.
• 48:23
  I mean, it sounds like a prison, isn't it. Like
• 48:28
  he's released, he has exercise three times a day. I
• 48:37
  think he has okay. I don't know. It's hard to tell,
• 48:40
  isn't it. But he seems it seems okay. He seems
• 48:44
  fairly fairly content, all right. So I've had night shift jobs.
• 48:54
  So I had the one at the factory making meters,
• 49:00
  but I was doing a different job this time. I
• 49:02
  was actually instead of packing the meters, which is what
• 49:06
  I did the last two previous times I worked there,
• 49:11
  I was doing more meter work, as in testing meters,
• 49:22
  putting meters together, you know, building them, taking them apart,
• 49:27
  fixing and stuff like that. So there's a lot more
• 49:30
  technical stuff and it's a lot more interesting as well.
• 49:33
  But then sometimes I'd be on the conveyor belt where
• 49:36
  all I was doing was just putting a screw in.
• 49:41
  You know, there's the conveyor belt would be huge. It's
• 49:44
  start off with like an empty case, and then by
• 49:48
  the end of it there'd be a meter, you know,
• 49:51
  a complete met I put together. Now, I'm pretty sure
• 49:56
  that that wouldn't be done by hand anymore, probably hasn't
• 49:59
  been for a long time. But it was weird because
• 50:07
  at the time. So when I'm moved and because I've
• 50:11
  lived around a lot, every time I saw electric meter,
• 50:17
  I look at it and think that could have been
• 50:19
  one of the ones that I touched. You could argue, well,
• 50:23
  I just touch it now and then you know it is,
• 50:25
  But no, I mean it's something nice. I suppose you know,
• 50:29
  if you make toilet seats and you visit someone and
• 50:32
  you sit down the toilet seat, instead of thinking about
• 50:34
  all the different people who have sat down on that
• 50:36
  toilet seat doing poos, you can think, oh, I might
• 50:41
  have helped make that seat when it was clean. It's
• 50:50
  I don't know, it's just I kind of looked at
• 50:52
  the meters and thinking, ah, because you imagine I saw
• 50:58
  thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of these electric meters.
• 51:04
  They were all black. They all looked the same. And
• 51:10
  I've seen loads of them since no open back in
• 51:14
  the past. Not so much recently, but it used to have.
• 51:22
  They used to have their little logo on it and stuff.
• 51:24
  But I think they were the main provider of electric
• 51:28
  meters in Europe. Maybe not the world, but in Europe,
• 51:35
  and they had more than one factory, but they were big.
• 51:38
  That was pretty much the main place to get employment
• 51:43
  in that town outside of the docks. Sod. It was
• 51:49
  the I think it was the biggest poor in Europe
• 51:53
  for a while. So, you know, it's sort of it
• 51:57
  was doing quite well well. Maybe this second maybe Dover
• 52:01
  was up, you know, higher up, but it is at
• 52:07
  loads and loads of jobs from trawling, you know, trawlling
• 52:12
  the seas and stuff or whatever. And I think, what
• 52:15
  do they do They take the ships out to the
• 52:17
  sea they called trawlers. Two working in the export agencies.
• 52:29
  Two I mean I worked on the docks one one, two, three, four,
• 52:45
  at least four times. Three of those times were for
• 52:49
  cleaning jobs and the other time was in a what
• 52:58
  was it, Oh, it was a holage company for chemicals,
• 53:04
  so liquid chemicals and these big tankers would that that
• 53:10
  was what my job was working in the office. I
• 53:18
  remember that. I remember because I had a lot well,
• 53:21
  I knew quite a few people that worked on the docks,
• 53:24
  because that was the main place really to get jobs
• 53:27
  outside of retail or in the factory, unless you was
• 53:34
  I suppose delivering post or milk or a builder or
• 53:39
  you know, just the other kind of things. But as
• 53:42
  far as condensed jobs, like lots of jobs in one place,
• 53:48
  they were the two main ones in that town. But
• 53:54
  then if you go to the next town, there was
• 53:56
  a sugar factory and so that employed huge amounts of people.
• 54:06
  I'm not sure what else they had there. It turned
• 54:09
  in to be in the pretty much the capital of insurance,
• 54:13
  like nearly every insurance company was held there as well.
• 54:17
  In the ninety in the two thousands, I made like
• 54:22
  so many different companies in one place. So yeah, I
• 54:28
  worked in two and in both those companies I I
• 54:39
  actually worked with, I think I had three, possibly three
• 54:45
  or four people came in from the previous company. One
• 54:50
  was already there, so Jody he I remember Jody like
• 54:58
  he was the number one sells per in Churchill. When
• 55:01
  I worked at Churchill, I was kind of number two.
• 55:05
  Sometimes Jersey was number two, but that was rare. He
• 55:08
  was overall number one, and I didn't really I did
• 55:16
  not talk to him, but I didn't really kind of
• 55:18
  get to know him because he was in a different
• 55:20
  team to me and we didn't really have an opportunity
• 55:25
  to just wander around and talk to each other, and
• 55:31
  you know, so I didn't really I knew him to
• 55:32
  sort of saylo to. And he knew me because we
• 55:36
  were on the leaderboard and you know, on the wall,
• 55:40
  so everyone kind of knew who we were. And he'd
• 55:45
  been there for a long time, I think. So he
• 55:49
  left and I didn't see him for probably a couple
• 55:53
  of years, maybe a year. And this is in two
• 55:59
  thousand and I'm working in the It's like a gift shop,
• 56:07
  a Buddhist gift shop, selling some nice stuff, some absolute
• 56:16
  just yeah, it depends on what you like. But there
• 56:20
  was incest you could buy. There was ornaments, cushions, curtains.
• 56:32
  I did have. I mean I can't remember. They had
• 56:34
  like these hairy curtains that you could buy. It's like, wow,
• 56:38
  it's really weird. I remember this one time because I
• 56:45
  worked in the same shop in a different town when
• 56:47
  I was doing my degree, and the manager at the
• 56:53
  shop it's spent about five hours putting together this curtain
• 57:02
  display like really put a lot of energy into it
• 57:07
  in time. And he said, what do you think. I said,
• 57:11
  I think it's lovely. However, he said, what do you mean? However,
• 57:18
  I said, you put it right in front of the
• 57:22
  fire exit, and he said, so, now, what go to
• 57:29
  explain is what I noticed with some of my Buddhist friends.
• 57:35
  It wasn't that they didn't care about stuff like that.
• 57:41
  They were so focused on the moment that he just
• 57:50
  didn't really have I would in some ways, I'm a
• 57:55
  bit too prepared for things like that. Hopefully nothing like
• 58:03
  that happens, but I'm kind of if I get on
• 58:05
  a ship, I know where the lifeboats are and you know,
• 58:11
  I'm ready. I've got a dress. I walk around with
• 58:14
  a full dress underneath my clothes in case they go,
• 58:18
  you know, like only women and children. I'm on there.
• 58:23
  None of that stuff I'm getting out of there. I'm
• 58:26
  soon going to stand there because I've got a WILLI No,
• 58:29
  you don't get to go on a ship because you've
• 58:31
  got a WILLI No, it doesn't work like that. Sorry.
• 58:35
  In fact, on the Titanic, I can't believe it. I
• 58:41
  just I understand children that get I understand that. Well,
• 58:47
  you go against women, then they are you asgginest? Are
• 58:52
  you sexist? Well, sometimes when I brush my hair and
• 58:56
  have a bath, I would say that I'm pretty sexist
• 59:00
  sometimes get attention. No, that's not what it means. So
• 59:07
  I I like to be fairly prepared. And when I
• 59:16
  said that to him, he's like, oh, it's all right,
• 59:19
  done matter and he went upstairs, and I thought, it
• 59:23
  does matter. But at the same time, he'd just spent
• 59:29
  about five hours putting it together, and I did feel
• 59:36
  for him because it was a lovely display and he's
• 59:40
  very artistic, and he'd been doing that job for a
• 59:46
  long time, also in the other shop that I used
• 59:49
  to work in, because that's he got me that job
• 59:54
  originally in the other shop back in two thousand November
• 59:58
  two thousand and two. And yeah, I felt bad, but
• 1:00:08
  like you know what, a fire exit's there for a reason.
• 1:00:13
  And you don't need it till you need it. I
• 1:00:19
  was going to say, like a condom, but it's not
• 1:00:21
  really good analogy, is it, But you know, generally, But anyway,
• 1:00:27
  he went upstairs, he had the he did have the
• 1:00:30
  up with me. He was like. Then he came down
• 1:00:33
  and he started taking the stuff down and I helped him.
• 1:00:37
  I said, look, we just move it to a different
• 1:00:39
  part of the part of the shop and he said, yeah,
• 1:00:41
  I suppose, and he probably didn't say that. I did
• 1:00:48
  feel a bit bad because that where the fire exit
• 1:00:52
  was was really he couldn't kind of have anything there,
• 1:00:58
  and it looked at a place it was very kind
• 1:01:01
  of bear area, and there was like a little courtyard outside.
• 1:01:11
  So although a fire exit if yeah, I wouldn't want
• 1:01:17
  to be stuck in that courtyard to be fair. Although
• 1:01:20
  you could get onto the roofs, which I sometimes did.
• 1:01:25
  There was one member of staff that I didn't get
• 1:01:27
  on with, and she used to pick on me. Basically.
• 1:01:31
  She used to be just say rude things to me
• 1:01:32
  for no reason. And I think there was that safety
• 1:01:38
  of working with Buddhists, and she wasn't a Buddhist, but
• 1:01:42
  she felt safe that she could probably get away with
• 1:01:45
  more stuff than she would normally, and in the end
• 1:01:51
  I just had to let the management know that I
• 1:01:56
  wouldn't work with her anymore. It's weird and this is
• 1:02:02
  supposed to be a peaceful environment. But that was my opinion.
• 1:02:06
  It should it should be peaceful, And I wasn't out
• 1:02:10
  to cause trouble. I was just unfortunately being criticized every
• 1:02:14
  turn by her for no reason. And then every now
• 1:02:20
  and I thought, no, I'm not talking to her anymore.
• 1:02:23
  She'd draw me in by asking me a question about myself,
• 1:02:27
  knowing that I love to talk about myself, and she'd
• 1:02:30
  draw me in being friendly, and then she'd criticize something
• 1:02:34
  I just said, or she'd pull apart what I just said.
• 1:02:37
  It's like ah, and then she said she kept going
• 1:02:41
  about I'm angry, what's its own, I'm at Cambridge, I'm
• 1:02:47
  at Cambridge University. I'm at Cambridge. She used to love
• 1:02:50
  saying that. It turned out she was an Angrier Ruskin
• 1:02:56
  in Cambridge, which is not the same as being at Cambridge.
• 1:02:59
  There's an Angland Ruskin at Chelsford Angler Ruskin University is
• 1:03:06
  not the same as going to Cambridge just because it's
• 1:03:09
  in Cambridge. It's like me working in McDonald's in Cambridge
• 1:03:15
  and saying, yeah, I'm at Cambridge. It's not exactly the same,
• 1:03:23
  but she really was acting like she was at Cambridge
• 1:03:28
  University campus and she wasn't. I found it funny. I
• 1:03:35
  laughed for about an hour. Solid she didn't enjoy that
• 1:03:42
  because someone asked her because she said something that her
• 1:03:47
  car broke down, and I think she was on the
• 1:03:50
  phone saying, yeah, if you picked the car up yet,
• 1:03:54
  because she had to get I think she got a
• 1:03:55
  lift back, and she was saying that. She was saying
• 1:04:00
  to the address, it's in the car park at the
• 1:04:04
  university in Cambridge, and I think they were asking, like
• 1:04:09
  what Cambridge University and you're like, yeah, well we're in
• 1:04:14
  here now, we can't see it. And then she says
• 1:04:23
  Anglia Ruskin and they laugh about ten minutes. And there's
• 1:04:29
  nothing wrong with Angler Ruskin, by the way, it's a
• 1:04:31
  really good place, but pretending you're somewhere that you're not.
• 1:04:38
  I could go to Anglio Ruskin, but I couldn't go
• 1:04:44
  to Cambridge. I could go to Angry Ruskin in Cambridge
• 1:04:48
  potentially said I could. I don't know if I could,
• 1:04:51
  but I you know. I mean, I'm qualified probably enough
• 1:04:54
  to go and do that. However, there's no way on
• 1:05:03
  this planet I would get into Cambridge University because I'm
• 1:05:08
  not of that ilk. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not
• 1:05:15
  in that on that level of education. Just not. Oh
• 1:05:22
  but Jason, I'm sure you could do it if you
• 1:05:24
  really tried. No, not even if I tried, if you
• 1:05:29
  tried really hard. No, not even if I gave it
• 1:05:33
  at least ten percent, I couldn't. Well, don't you give
• 1:05:37
  it more than ten percent? Because I'm lazy. Where have
• 1:05:41
  you been? Have you not been observing? Okay, don't got
• 1:05:45
  to be rude, you're rude, dere I think the next
• 1:05:55
  time I did night shift? Oh yeah, So I went
• 1:06:01
  back to London. This is how Cheico was. I went
• 1:06:05
  back to the job that I had before in London
• 1:06:08
  that I didn't give them notice. I didn't go back,
• 1:06:11
  and I went back to him and said there's any
• 1:06:13
  chance of another job? And I suppose rightly. So they
• 1:06:17
  said no, we're fall now. Sorry bye. So just like okay,
• 1:06:27
  and this is January nineteen ninety one, so I've moved there.
• 1:06:36
  I paid rent probably two weeks in advance or something.
• 1:06:41
  Like that. I was in this grotty room. I lived
• 1:06:45
  for four years, believe it or not, nearly four years,
• 1:06:49
  was it all the way through ninety one, ninety two,
• 1:06:52
  ninety three and up to the summer ninety four, so
• 1:06:55
  three and over three and a half years. And there
• 1:07:04
  was this when I moved in, there no central heating
• 1:07:09
  and there was a little bathroom heater on the wall.
• 1:07:12
  The other side of the room to where I was
• 1:07:14
  my bed was a draft coming in the window, and
• 1:07:24
  there was a meter, an electric meter. So I wasn't
• 1:07:27
  even getting that heating for free electric meter fifty pence pieces,
• 1:07:35
  so I pretty much had that. Eventually it broke, but
• 1:07:47
  it was like a little bathroom. You know, there's ones.
• 1:07:50
  I don't know if they still exist, but I think
• 1:07:53
  it was like two bars. And it shouldn't have been
• 1:07:59
  on a bedroom war Why would you not have central heating.
• 1:08:05
  I mean, central heating is not a new thing. It wasn't.
• 1:08:10
  It wasn't like in nineteen ninety one. Oh, we don't know.
• 1:08:13
  That's central heating. No, that's that's uh, that's the devil's work.
• 1:08:20
  That is No, if God had wanted me to be warm,
• 1:08:26
  he'd have made me warm I don't know what the
• 1:08:30
  answer would be. It's like we're supposed to be cold.
• 1:08:38
  That's why we're boiled in a cold country. Yes, it
• 1:08:41
  builds character. Shivering in your bed builds character. Yeah, builds
• 1:08:48
  an attitude. I'll tell you that's that's for sure. After
• 1:08:52
  decades of that living in places that were cold, I
• 1:08:56
  won't be cold anymore. So the heating goes on. If
• 1:09:01
  it's cold, the heating goes on. I don't care what
• 1:09:04
  time of the year it is. I'm not going to
• 1:09:06
  sit here being cold. I know some people are. Nope,
• 1:09:12
  the heating goes off in March and it comes back
• 1:09:15
  on at the end of September. That's it. No heating
• 1:09:19
  throughout that whole time, regardless of how curled it is.
• 1:09:23
  I don't do that. I know a lot of people
• 1:09:25
  do do that because I've done a survey. I haven't
• 1:09:31
  done a survey, but I've just known a lot of
• 1:09:33
  people that have said that, and they were literally with
• 1:09:37
  his cold, put an extra pair, another jumper on if
• 1:09:41
  it's cold. No. The way I say is, I don't
• 1:09:46
  put a jumper on if I'm cold. I put a
• 1:09:49
  jumper on if I'm not warm enough. There's a difference there.
• 1:09:55
  To me, there's a difference between like I've got a
• 1:09:58
  little cardigan on. Now, if I don't have this on,
• 1:10:04
  it's a little bit too cool. It's not cold, it's
• 1:10:12
  a little bit too cool. I'm not shivering, That's what
• 1:10:18
  I mean. I don't put the jumper on and then
• 1:10:21
  have cold hands and a cold face when I'm indoors.
• 1:10:27
  I just don't allow that to happen. Because I had
• 1:10:30
  decades of it. That's why I mean, even when I
• 1:10:36
  was a kid, it was the same like so really
• 1:10:39
  from up to the age of forty four, so I
• 1:10:44
  had forty four years of living in places that I
• 1:10:49
  had no control over the heating pretty much, forty four
• 1:10:56
  years where I couldn't decide whether or not I could
• 1:11:00
  be warm. It's a long time. So now I have
• 1:11:05
  the heating on all summer. It's like a greenhouse in here.
• 1:11:12
  I've got tomatoes grown out of my ears. It's brilliant.
• 1:11:18
  No phillis turned into a cactus. No, I don't have
• 1:11:24
  the heating them. If it's cold, if it's like a
• 1:11:27
  really cold night, which we do have in this country.
• 1:11:32
  We have really cold nights in the summer. Sometimes if
• 1:11:34
  I need the heating, and I'll put the heating on
• 1:11:36
  for a little while. I got no issue. I mean,
• 1:11:40
  most of the summer the heating is turned off, like
• 1:11:42
  off off, so I don't leave it on automatics, so
• 1:11:45
  it comes on if it's cold, I'll decide. In the winter,
• 1:11:49
  I've got it on automatics, so if it gets below
• 1:11:52
  a certain temperature, it comes on. In the summer, I
• 1:11:55
  don't do that, but sometimes it's cold, just because it's
• 1:12:01
  July or June, which is pretty much the hottest months
• 1:12:08
  of the year in this country, and we have We've
• 1:12:11
  had some really hot days this year, but only I
• 1:12:17
  would say, only a few hot nights. There's been a
• 1:12:23
  few nights where it's been like, oh, a little bit,
• 1:12:28
  a little bit stuffy, but the real heat. I didn't
• 1:12:35
  really experience the real heat at home this year because
• 1:12:40
  I was visiting uncle Sausages, so I experienced the heat
• 1:12:45
  as in, you know, going there in a taxi or
• 1:12:49
  on the bus, mainly taxis to start with, and then
• 1:12:55
  but then the getting side the hospital, and it wasn't
• 1:13:01
  warm inside the hospital because there's air conditioning everywhere. It
• 1:13:06
  wasn't cold everywhere, but it wasn't you know, it's definitely
• 1:13:09
  a different temperature to being outside. So I didn't. Yeah,
• 1:13:19
  I didn't really get the full extent of the summer
• 1:13:23
  because I spent well six weeks or something going backward
• 1:13:30
  and forward, so I can't. I spent most of the
• 1:13:33
  summer pretty much from the end of June. The end
• 1:13:44
  of June. That's it.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: You come to me, good boy, good boy. We don't
• 1:13:52
  do that too, No, we don't. We don't bark. We
• 1:13:57
  don't bark because you're a good boy. You're not just
• 1:14:00
  a good boy. You're a clever boy. You're very clever.
• 1:14:05
  You're the most beautifullest boy in a whole wide world.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: Yes you why? Yes you are yes? You are yes?
• 1:14:11
  You are yes? You are yes. You are yes. You
• 1:14:14
  are yes? You are yes? You are yes? You were
• 1:14:18
  you you? Yeah, good boy.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 5: Come.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: Vine's decided he wants to come and sit on my lap,
• 1:14:48
  so he's doing that. He put his poor out literally
• 1:14:52
  to try and get onto my knee, so he's not
• 1:14:55
  I've let him get on my lap and he's not
• 1:14:57
  trying to get down. So it's clearly where he wants
• 1:14:59
  to be, isn't it. You're happy? Yeah, I can't. Rich
• 1:15:06
  and hurt my neck the other times. So yeah, when
• 1:15:12
  I couldn't get that job in the at the place.
• 1:15:17
  When I moved back to London, I said to my landlady,
• 1:15:20
  I said, oh, excuse me, landlady. She said, yes, tenant.
• 1:15:26
  I said, I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
• 1:15:31
  She said, what do you mean. I said, well, you
• 1:15:33
  know that job I told you I had. She said yeah.
• 1:15:38
  I said, I lied. There's no job there. There never was.
• 1:15:44
  She said, does it not exist? I said, yeah, it exists,
• 1:15:47
  but I just thought I could go back there, but
• 1:15:51
  I was wrong. I misinformed you. Please forgive me. Can
• 1:15:57
  you ever forgive me? And she said probably not. I said, okay, thanks.
• 1:16:03
  She said, why are you thanking me? I just said,
• 1:16:05
  I won't forgive you. I said no, but I just
• 1:16:10
  it's a new thing I'm trying out. I'd just like
• 1:16:12
  to say thanks to people. Just stop trying to make
• 1:16:15
  new friends, you see. So if I say thanks to everyone,
• 1:16:19
  maybe it will cause a more peaceful society and catch
• 1:16:23
  on and end up with some kind of world stability
• 1:16:29
  politically and emotionally. Maybe. She said, so you didn't get
• 1:16:35
  the job. What if can you pay the rent next week?
• 1:16:37
  I said, well, and she said, you're joking me. I said,
• 1:16:45
  I wish I was not very funny joke, is it.
• 1:16:48
  She said no. She said what you're going to do?
• 1:16:52
  I said, I don't know. I guess I'm just going
• 1:16:54
  to have to move back. And she said, what would
• 1:16:58
  your dad say? I said, what do you mean? She
• 1:17:02
  said nothing, don't worry. I said, what do you mean,
• 1:17:04
  what would my dad say? What do you know about
• 1:17:06
  my dad? She said nothing? And then she looked away
• 1:17:11
  and started humming and whistling, which I thought quite weird behavior.
• 1:17:16
  And I said, have you spoken to my dad? She
• 1:17:19
  said no? I said, come on, have you spoken to
• 1:17:24
  my dad? She said well, I said, come on, did
• 1:17:30
  you taken ages? Have you spoken to my dad? She
• 1:17:33
  said yes, I have? I said how? She said, well,
• 1:17:39
  when he helped you move? He said no. I said,
• 1:17:42
  wait a minute, he didn't help me move. Someone else
• 1:17:45
  helped me move. Okay, Well, you gave him the telephone
• 1:17:52
  number for the house, didn't you? I said, yes, will
• 1:17:54
  he phoned me up? Why to warn me about you?
• 1:18:00
  What do you mean, warn you about me? Just to
• 1:18:03
  let me know how annoying you were? I said, what,
• 1:18:11
  that's what it was. It's nothing rude, nothing bad. You
• 1:18:13
  just want to let me know, warn me in you
• 1:18:16
  know ahead of time that you're just a bit of annoying,
• 1:18:19
  a bit of a pain to live with. I said,
• 1:18:23
  I'm not really living with you, an't I you're downstairs.
• 1:18:25
  I'm upstairs. I got my own room. She said, yeah,
• 1:18:30
  but we have to share a kitchen and a bathroom.
• 1:18:33
  I said yeah, and she said, well, he just warned me.
• 1:18:39
  What do you mean warned you? She said, it doesn't matter.
• 1:18:44
  All I can tell you is that you might not
• 1:18:47
  want to tell him you're coming back. What do you
• 1:18:51
  mean tell him I'm going back? What I think he's
• 1:18:55
  moved moved? Yeah, he waited till you left and went
• 1:19:03
  came back to London and he moved. Did he give
• 1:19:08
  you an address?
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: No?
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: And she looked away and started whistling and humming. I said, look,
• 1:19:14
  I've I kind of figured out that when you do that,
• 1:19:16
  you're lying. And she said, wow, you are clever. I
• 1:19:22
  wasn't sure she's being sarcastic or not. And I said
• 1:19:28
  to her, well, where's he moved to? She said, I
• 1:19:31
  can't tell. You said, why not swore me to secrecy? Okay,
• 1:19:41
  Well I guess I have to stay here. She said,
• 1:19:46
  it's okay, it's okay, actually, I said, why, said well,
• 1:19:52
  he said that when you lose your job, he'll pay
• 1:19:56
  for the first month and then I can kick you
• 1:19:59
  out if you haven't found anything. So you're telling me
• 1:20:05
  that you're going to be phoning them up tomorrow or
• 1:20:10
  whatever to let him know that I haven't gotten myself
• 1:20:12
  a job, so that he pays rent for the next month.
• 1:20:16
  She said no, I said, good, said no, I've already
• 1:20:21
  spoke to him. He's already sent the money. He's sent
• 1:20:25
  a check. It's going to be here tomorrow probably. I like,
• 1:20:35
  so you've basically he's sent you one hundred and sixty pound.
• 1:20:38
  She said yeah, there's forty pounds a week back then.
• 1:20:43
  And she said it's that why there was such a
• 1:20:45
  pause between you talking just then, because you have to
• 1:20:47
  try and add it up in your head. I said, yeah.
• 1:20:51
  I was going to say one hundred and twenty, and
• 1:20:53
  then I realized that's three fours. So I thought, how
• 1:20:57
  else can I work it out? And I realized if
• 1:21:02
  I do eighty times by two, it's one hundred and sixty.
• 1:21:07
  She said yeah. I said thanks. She said yeah, I
• 1:21:12
  wasn't really congratulating you. I'm just you know, acknowledging and
• 1:21:16
  what you said. And I said to her, look instead
• 1:21:21
  of just being a little bit gnarly, a little bit ugh,
• 1:21:25
  a little bit you know, looking down at me, a
• 1:21:28
  little bit judgmental, perhaps you could be helpful, caring kind. Baby.
• 1:21:38
  He just gives me kisses, just gives me kisses. And
• 1:21:46
  she said, well, okay, I suppose I could try and help.
• 1:21:52
  I said, that'd be nice. She said, are you any
• 1:21:56
  good at cleaning toilets? I said, what I could give you,
• 1:22:01
  like a two pounds discount a week if you clean
• 1:22:04
  the bog? I said, no, one's called it a bog
• 1:22:08
  for years. She said, I do. I love calling it
• 1:22:10
  a bog makes her feel really down to earth. Should
• 1:22:15
  we call it a toilet? And she said, no one
• 1:22:17
  called it a bog? And I was like, okay, fair enough, No,
• 1:22:23
  I said, I'm not cleaning the toilet for two pound.
• 1:22:28
  How's that going to make a difference to my rent?
• 1:22:31
  Just two pounds off a week off of forty? She said, well,
• 1:22:35
  that minilonio thirty eight pound. It wasn't a literal question.
• 1:22:41
  I know it'll leave me with thirty eight pounds to pay.
• 1:22:46
  She said, well, that's what you just asked me. And
• 1:22:52
  obviously i'd done her accent different because she was Italian,
• 1:22:54
  so she had a very very strong Italian accent, but
• 1:22:58
  I didn't do her accent. Yeah, I hope you're pleased.
• 1:23:04
  I hope, I hope you appreciate.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 5: Me.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Yeah, and what else? Yeah, anyway,
• 1:23:20
  she came through and she gave me a shout json Jason, Jason.
• 1:23:28
  So I go down and I said, yeah, she said,
• 1:23:32
  come down the stairs please. So I went downstairs and
• 1:23:38
  there was this other lady there and I said, I
• 1:23:44
  said hello, you said yeah, and this is my friend Canterbella.
• 1:23:50
  I said, she wants to doc to you do I said, okay,
• 1:23:56
  fair enough, So I'm talking to her. She ends up
• 1:24:00
  it ends up that she's the HR. She's in charge
• 1:24:02
  of the HR department in a bakery, a huge bakery
• 1:24:07
  in London, East London. And she said to me there's
• 1:24:12
  a job going in the canteen and you can work
• 1:24:15
  there or you can apply to it there. I said, okay,
• 1:24:21
  told me the hours, told me the wages. So she
• 1:24:27
  was helping me out, but she was helping a friend
• 1:24:29
  out so that she got her rent, but at the
• 1:24:30
  same time in helping me out, and I went along
• 1:24:34
  for the job interview, got the job. Turned out the
• 1:24:38
  chef who was in charge of the kitchen didn't have
• 1:24:41
  a choice about whether I worked there or not. And
• 1:24:43
  he told me that he wouldn't have employed me, which
• 1:24:46
  is nice, how lovely, and that's that he told me
• 1:24:49
  that after we'd become friends. Yeah, like he still he
• 1:24:54
  liked me at that point when he said he wouldn't
• 1:24:56
  have employed me, and he still wouldn't, so hey nice.
• 1:25:00
  And he sold me a dodgy video player that didn't work,
• 1:25:05
  but I've forgiven him twenty five pounds that cost me.
• 1:25:13
  I don't get that money back while I I mean,
• 1:25:17
  how could you do that to someone? Admittedly, he'd stopped
• 1:25:23
  working there, so he'd left, and I was still working
• 1:25:26
  at the factory, so he Yeah, I guess he was
• 1:25:30
  just trying to make a little bit of money in that,
• 1:25:31
  but seemed a bit rude. So Vinnie's still lying on
• 1:25:38
  my lap and cuddling up to me. Normally it might
• 1:25:43
  do it and hold him and I want to get down,
• 1:25:46
  but he doesn't want to get down. He seems happy
• 1:25:49
  to just be cuddling. It's weird. It's almost like he's
• 1:25:57
  become an affectionate turning into a dog, like a nice
• 1:26:02
  friendly doggie. Hey, I don't understand. But anyway, I ended
• 1:26:10
  up working after that. I worked in the actual factory,
• 1:26:17
  the bakery itself, not the canteen, and I was doing
• 1:26:25
  what was I doing. I was doing all kinds of shifts,
• 1:26:36
  including night shift, So yeah, I did a nice st
• 1:26:42
  Was I doing night shift? Yeah, I'm pretty certain I
• 1:26:46
  was doing night shift, and then sometimes a night shift
• 1:26:49
  led me to do days as well. Yeah, yeah, so
• 1:26:57
  that it was kind of all over the place, but
• 1:26:59
  that that was my second night shift job. My third
• 1:27:03
  night shift job would be working in security in nineteen
• 1:27:10
  ninety six, and I had one, two, three, four.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 6: Five.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think at least five different places
• 1:27:39
  that I did night shift on. I did day shift
• 1:27:43
  on a few places, but predominantly night shift. I don't
• 1:27:54
  think I did night shift again after that. I think
• 1:27:56
  that was it. That was the last time I did
• 1:27:58
  night shift. But I did that for a while. It
• 1:28:06
  was okay if there was people around, If I was
• 1:28:11
  on my own the whole time, I'd end up having
• 1:28:14
  to go to sleep even though I was sleeping during
• 1:28:17
  the day. Now, the problem is, back then there was
• 1:28:20
  no internet, nothing that was reading, but I struggled to
• 1:28:24
  read when I was tired at night. But I could
• 1:28:28
  have built websites and stuff. And you know, if it
• 1:28:30
  had been ten years later, I could have really made
• 1:28:34
  use of that time. Let me just have a look
• 1:28:44
  and see what the I was supposed to be talking
• 1:28:51
  about longest days and shortest days, And I'll be honest,
• 1:28:56
  I've lost interest in that. Never mind, So thank you
• 1:29:01
  for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself, because you
• 1:29:05
  do deserve to be happy and be gentle with yourself.
• 1:29:08
  You deserve to feel safe, lots of love. Bye. Relax
• 1:29:25
  in a more deep and meaningful way, maybe in a
• 1:29:36
  way that can not just allow you to feel calmer
• 1:29:44
  now and throughout the time we've spend together here, not
• 1:29:54
  just relaxed at the end of the recording when it's
• 1:30:00
  finished and you can enjoy that sense of comfort and peace.
• 1:30:12
  But also I think it would be nice to have
• 1:30:25
  those feelings of relaxation continue for longer after the recording
• 1:30:42
  has ended, so that you can still benefit from listening
• 1:30:56
  to my voice. Maybe in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow,
• 1:31:11
  and then by listening regularly, especially if you find like
• 1:31:19
  some people do and myself as well. I sometimes I
• 1:31:23
  find one particular recording that really resonates with me, and
• 1:31:33
  I just listen to it over and over again every morning,
• 1:31:39
  every evening. There was this recording from We're going back
• 1:31:51
  to about nineteen ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis, but it
• 1:31:57
  was a guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really,
• 1:32:05
  and I managed to find it again and it still
• 1:32:10
  has the same effect on me. And part of it
• 1:32:16
  was the person's voice relaxed me just felt so peaceful,
• 1:32:32
  and I'd look forward to listening to her in the
• 1:32:39
  morning and in the evening. And I knew before even
• 1:32:50
  pressing the play button that since I've done that, pressed
• 1:32:59
  the play button, and this was in the days of
• 1:33:07
  CD players press the play button. In fact, it might
• 1:33:16
  have even been a tape recorder. I'd lie down on
• 1:33:21
  the bed and then even without necessarily listening to her
• 1:33:34
  words because I had them memorized. Really, it was as
• 1:33:47
  if my body knew exactly what to do, and the
• 1:33:58
  muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and I remember
• 1:34:20
  my mind would slow down. Now now I was listening
• 1:34:34
  to this recording in the early days of learning hypnosis,
• 1:34:43
  and long before I ever made any videos or audio
• 1:34:51
  recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that till two
• 1:34:56
  thousand and six, I knew, I knew how helpful I
• 1:35:15
  found being able to just let go, to have that
• 1:35:26
  trust in the person that I'm listening to, knowing that
• 1:35:39
  it's going to be just as relaxing, if not more so.
• 1:35:50
  Each time you hear my voice, you may feel the same.
• 1:36:03
  Some people have been listening to me for over a decade,
• 1:36:18
  maybe not solidly, obviously not twenty four hours a day,
• 1:36:24
  but maybe people come back. Some people maybe listen every day.
• 1:36:42
  That's something that I do which you may not realize
• 1:36:51
  by listening.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 6: Is.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: When I record these recordings. Now, for example, I also
• 1:37:16
  am affected by the words that I say. So if
• 1:37:27
  I set you focus on your feet, notice your feet relaxing,
• 1:37:41
  I will be focusing on my feet. I will be
• 1:37:49
  noticing my feet relaxing. If I said, focus on your hands,
• 1:38:10
  and maybe notice the difference between each hand, Perhaps notice
• 1:38:20
  the the air in the room, the temperature of the room.
• 1:38:28
  On the backs of your hands. You may start to
• 1:38:39
  notice what almost feels like a very light breeze, even
• 1:38:47
  though there may not be any type of breeze at
• 1:38:51
  all where you are right now. And as you become
• 1:39:05
  aware of your hands, I'm also aware of how relaxed
• 1:39:19
  my hands our feeling.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 7: Now and when.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: It comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which may
• 1:39:49
  be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy when
• 1:40:06
  I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.
• 1:40:27
  In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing,
• 1:40:44
  and then I carry on talking. It's only where I
• 1:40:55
  listen back to do the editing, I hear snoring, and
• 1:41:05
  I think, I don't remember snoring. I remember talking. It
• 1:41:15
  was this snoring was a pick turned up. That's why
• 1:41:22
  I sound like when I snare and I get really
• 1:41:30
  into the whole experience. I don't know how you feel,
• 1:41:50
  how relaxed you're feeling your feet, how relaxed you feel
• 1:42:01
  in your hands. I have noticed more and more that
• 1:42:28
  the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel, the
• 1:42:44
  easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like that muscle relaxation.
• 1:43:09
  So this allows you the bree easier without necessarily focusing
• 1:43:32
  on your breath. However, being able to notice the ease
• 1:44:01
  in which you breathe so naturally, You breathe so very
• 1:44:28
  easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving, when
• 1:45:17
  I've got my eyes closed, I tend to visualize a
• 1:45:32
  beautiful field with trees and flowers producing all that life
• 1:45:49
  giving oxygen. It feels nice to, if nothing else, just
• 1:46:25
  taking some time away from everything, enjoying that feeling of
• 1:47:03
  peace serenity with a joyful heart. Time seems to just
• 1:47:52
  drip by, so varies slowly, relaxed, so deeply peaceful, completely
• 1:48:42
  unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free,
• 1:49:44
  notice that your mind has slowed down, slowed down because
• 1:50:36
  nothing really requires your attention. You can enjoy the physical
• 1:51:05
  sensations of allowing the stress drip out of your body,
• 1:51:23
  to appear out of every part of your body, and
• 1:51:46
  being released from your brain and her mind slowly but surely.
• 1:52:32
  The muscles singles, relax res so very deeply, res so deeply,
• 1:53:44
  and the feelings, the pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders,
• 1:54:12
  deepening each part of your body further and deeper and deeper,
• 1:54:51
  Noticing the feelings in the back of your neck, feelings
• 1:55:22
  in your wrists, muscles, into your body. I also feeling peaceful, deeply,
• 1:56:53
  there's a sense of peace m breads through your very core.
• 1:57:34
  Even when you focus on your mind, your mind becomes
• 1:58:01
  be and slower, deep relaxing, so very slow. His stomach,
• 1:59:38
  it's fallin's stomach. You're back. Notice Notice how relaxed you'd
• 2:00:26
  now fear in the hole of your back. In spy
• 2:01:09
  from your brain all the way down the middle of
• 2:01:13
  your back, sending and receiving millions of messages every day, deepcomfort,
• 2:01:41
  increasing deeply relaxed, your knees, spreading those signals down a
• 2:02:58
  spine or cord into air, every part of your body,
• 2:03:21
  your shins and your calf muscles. We're outbursts feelings of
• 2:04:09
  peace and tranquility spreading through your body, tips of your toes,
• 2:04:31
  to your eyes, your fingers, all the way to your
• 2:04:43
  lower back. Lettinger reatiner, peace, drifting mind just wounding away,
• 2:06:08

  Speaker 6: And safety.
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 1: So firy f relx lessing God. Maybe we can just
• 2:12:18
  focus on the different parts of your body, just to
• 2:12:28
  notice your forehead and your eyes. Utu solus. Notice in
• 2:13:57
  the sense of complete freedom, absolute freedom, Ri dria hee's
• 2:15:29

• 2:17:20

• 2:18:46
  blissful pace, total peace. Come so calm, lett him go
• 2:21:14
  peace with mind relaxed forty so relax.
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 5: Relaxed.
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 1: Your body feels almost invisible, so very relaxed. I'm peaceful,
• 2:22:58
  so peaceful, real.
• 2:23:30
  Speaker 9: Liquor, so peaceful, son of fairy.
• 2:24:06
  Speaker 1: And you could start to notice that you are feeling
• 2:24:13
  more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused your mind
• 2:24:25
  upon that sense of physical comfort that is growing within
• 2:24:32
  you throughout your body, and your mind starts to slow down,
• 2:24:47
  And that could be almost in recognition of I guess
• 2:24:54
  my speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally
• 2:25:08
  feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice, you give
• 2:25:19
  yourself an opportunity to take a break from the day,
• 2:25:28
  take a break from your life as it is, and
• 2:25:36
  to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take
• 2:25:44
  some time off and to allow your body to relax
• 2:25:51
  and allow your mind to slow down, which in turn
• 2:26:02
  releases the tension any stresses that you had in your body.
• 2:26:13
  It's almost as if the parts of your body just
• 2:26:18
  open up, allowing the negativity out and at the same
• 2:26:29
  time replacing that negativity with positive heathing energy, which then
• 2:26:41
  fills your body up and your mind to also starts
• 2:26:50
  to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence and almost uplifting
• 2:27:07
  feeling positive healing, an energy that spreads through your body
• 2:27:24
  like a wave of comfort. And all this comes from
• 2:27:34
  just allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour,
• 2:27:46
  however long you want it to be, to just rest
• 2:27:56
  and allow your mind and your body to almost reset
• 2:28:06
  itself to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which
• 2:28:24
  allows more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to
• 2:28:38
  move around your body and into your mind, almost as
• 2:28:47
  if your mind and your body are sinking together, almost
• 2:28:57
  mirroring each other with that growing positivity and calmness, and
• 2:29:11
  it feels nice. It really does feel nice to know
• 2:29:18
  that you are the one that has allowed yourself to
• 2:29:28
  feel more comfort and to experience more of this deep
• 2:29:42
  relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus on
• 2:29:58
  each part of your body, you can notice that that
• 2:30:04
  part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.
• 2:30:21
  It becomes even more calm and comfortable, just by focusing.
• 2:30:35
  And as I move down your body, starting at your head,
• 2:30:43
  the parts that you've already focused on will continue to
• 2:30:50
  relax deeply, and those parts that we've not yet focused
• 2:30:58
  on or just automatically release any remain intention in anticipation
• 2:31:12
  of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going
• 2:31:25
  to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware
• 2:31:32
  of the feelings of your forehead and any background sounds
• 2:31:42
  like mister Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to
• 2:31:47
  feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment.
• 2:31:58
  This isn't this isn't a their ile environments. This is
• 2:32:03
  the world. I live in the countryside, so there's lots
• 2:32:11
  of nature sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead,
• 2:32:24
  just notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you
• 2:32:31
  focus only on my voice and that part of your body.
• 2:32:44
  Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing
• 2:32:54
  how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at
• 2:33:04
  the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes
• 2:33:11
  relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,
• 2:33:26
  your tongue, your teeth, and your gums, the whole of
• 2:33:33
  your mouth relaxing, calm and loose, as you focus now
• 2:33:48
  on your jaw, not just the part of your jaw
• 2:33:55
  near your mouth and your chin, but all the way
• 2:34:00
  up the size of your face to your ears, the
• 2:34:06
  hole of your jaw, feeding more relaxed and calm. Focusing
• 2:34:34
  on your neck, the front of your neck, and your
• 2:34:40
  throat relaxing and loose and calm. The sides of your neck,
• 2:34:55
  the right and the left side of your neck, relax
• 2:35:02
  and loose and calm. And now the back of your neck,
• 2:35:20
  focusing on the back of your neck, letting go of
• 2:35:31
  any tension that may have been there before, and enjoying
• 2:35:38
  that sense of increasing comfort and release that you can
• 2:35:51
  experience in the back of your neck. Moving down your
• 2:36:02
  back and moving either side of your spine right from
• 2:36:09
  the top of your back all the way down to
• 2:36:15
  the bottom of your back, down to your lower back.
• 2:36:32
  And as you move up and down your spine, you
• 2:36:39
  can feel the muscles either side of your spine relaxing
• 2:36:47
  even more. And as those muscles relax, that sense of
• 2:37:01
  comfort starts to spread outwards from your spine into both
• 2:37:12
  sides of your back, the top of your back, the middle,
• 2:37:19
  and your lower back. And as you scan gently and
• 2:37:28
  slowly up and down your back, there's the muscles in
• 2:37:36
  the top of your back relax and become looser. The
• 2:37:45
  muscles in the middle of your back also seem to
• 2:37:51
  just almost divide from each other, separate in and almost melting,
• 2:38:06
  and in your lower back it seems to be an
• 2:38:12
  extra special feeling of comfort that spreads into your hips.
• 2:38:29
  Sit down your lower back, into your hips, into the
• 2:38:37
  area where your cosicks are, and into your buttocks, and
• 2:38:46
  all those muscles that spread from your lower back into
• 2:38:55
  your hip area start to melt, start to really let go.
• 2:39:15
  Don't even nowhere about to focus on your shoulders. Your
• 2:39:22
  back and your spine will continue to let go, continue
• 2:39:34
  to relax so calmly, and as you focus on your shoulders,
• 2:39:50
  you may notice that they're already feeling really loose, They're
• 2:40:06
  already feeding calm and the feeling those muscles then move
• 2:40:32
  from your neck into your shoulders feel so soft and gentle,
• 2:40:52
  so smooth, and calm, and the feeling in your shoulders
• 2:41:21
  seems to spread deep into your shoulders, that sense of relaxation,
• 2:41:31
  not just traveling deeply into your muscles, but also relaxing
• 2:41:45
  the bones and moving all away to underneath your arms,
• 2:41:58
  relaxing a whole area between the tops of your shoulders
• 2:42:05
  and underneath your arms healing. You feel so relaxed and
• 2:42:23
  comfortable in your shoulders. Who sends that deep healing message
• 2:42:44
  into your arms? And you may feel almost as if
• 2:42:56
  your arms are not even there they could. Is this
• 2:43:00
  so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so so calm, so po
• 2:43:51
  not feeling spreading all the way down your arms, two elbows,
• 2:44:06
  including your elbows circumforts spreads or away into wrists, your
• 2:44:34
  forearments and your wrists so heavy. Yet at this same time,
• 2:44:59
  so I and gentle frey, you see now on your hands,
• 2:45:58
  I am, yes, so peaceful in your hands. There's a
• 2:46:30
  sense of real peace. It just seems to feel so
• 2:46:55
  familiar when your hands relax deeply. Yes, your things, a
• 2:48:04
  thing is sold less. You think it's tips. Moving your
• 2:49:09
  attention to the front of your body, so comfortable, Moving
• 2:49:39
  your focus to your legs, lot muscles in your thighs,
• 2:51:23

• 2:52:04

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

• 7:03:41
  four and doy two two.
• 7:06:25
  Speaker 2: Canned.
• 7:06:33
  Speaker 1: Or let go of all of those thoughts, worries, concerns
• 7:06:46
  about the past, thoughts about the future, and even things
• 7:06:53
  you've been thinking about today. Just let it all go
• 7:07:00
  because none of it is useful in this moment. This
• 7:07:08
  is your opportunity to just focus on feeling relaxed, allowing
• 7:07:28
  yourself to get in touch with that natural sense of
• 7:07:36
  peace that we all have within us. It's available for everyone.
• 7:07:46
  It just sometimes takes a little bit of effort to
• 7:07:51
  set up the right time and place in order for
• 7:07:57
  you to just let go. Because when you do decide
• 7:08:07
  to let go and relax, that's what your body starts
• 7:08:12
  to do because you've chosen, You've chosen to just allow
• 7:08:22
  your body to unwind and your mind starts to slow down.
• 7:08:32
  And it's a nice feeling. It's a nice feeling at
• 7:08:36
  the beginning, just to know that you have chosen to
• 7:08:42
  decide to relax deeply, and because you've made that decision,
• 7:08:53
  your body will just follow suit. Because sometimes all the
• 7:09:00
  muscles in your body need is just permission from you
• 7:09:06
  to relax. Because so often we're busy, we're going from
• 7:09:15
  here to there, we're walking around and we're doing stuff,
• 7:09:21
  and the body doesn't have any time or space to
• 7:09:27
  really relax deeply. So it kind of waits for you
• 7:09:35
  to lead the way, waits for your permission. And when
• 7:09:44
  you do give your permission, when you give the say
• 7:09:51
  so we need, say okay, it's time for your body
• 7:09:59
  to let go, come completely and relax totally, your body
• 7:10:07
  just follows. It's like a breath of relief. Ah, good,
• 7:10:16
  I can now relax. That feeling at the end of
• 7:10:23
  a day, of a very physical day that you may
• 7:10:26
  experience in the past, but you get home and you
• 7:10:30
  just sit down on a chair, maybe you kick your
• 7:10:34
  shoes off and not ah, feels so nice knowing that
• 7:10:40
  you don't have to get up again for a little
• 7:10:44
  while at least if you choose, you can just sit
• 7:10:48
  there for maybe an hour to It feels blissful. And
• 7:11:01
  just by sitting down like that, your body knows that
• 7:11:06
  it's time to relax. Your body has been given permission
• 7:11:12
  from you. Because it's a mindset in your mind. You're
• 7:11:21
  prepared to let go of everything and just completely allow
• 7:11:34
  all the stress of your body to evaporate, and intentions
• 7:11:43
  can just gradually vanish. It's almost like magic, really, because
• 7:12:02
  that sense of relaxation in your body is a very
• 7:12:09
  natural state. It's not something unusual. It may feel unusual
• 7:12:16
  when you first start to relax with you, if you
• 7:12:19
  haven't really spent a lot of time focusing and giving
• 7:12:24
  yourself this space to let go completely and relax. They
• 7:12:29
  seem are most alien, but it isn't. It's actually the
• 7:12:37
  most natural thing in the world to let go completely,
• 7:12:44
  to relax totally, the most natural thing in the world
• 7:12:55
  to allow yourself to feel really calm in your mind,
• 7:13:07
  and it is almost like a literal unwinding. It's like
• 7:13:15
  you press a button and all the tension just releases,
• 7:13:24
  and it's like a wheel, like a cog, like the
• 7:13:27
  inside of a clock, just unwinding. And he's almost like
• 7:13:32
  you could see the little wind up knob that's used
• 7:13:38
  just going the opposite way that you choose to wind
• 7:13:42
  it up, and the energy that fremetic stress for energy
• 7:13:52
  gradually winding down, losing its power, losing its strength as
• 7:14:02
  a sense of relaxation becomes stronger and deeper, and you
• 7:14:12
  may find a the more relaxed you feel, that your
• 7:14:20
  mind starts to wonder, maybe just seem to stop listening
• 7:14:30
  to me for a while, and your mind goes somewhere else,
• 7:14:36
  and then you realize you're listening to me again, and
• 7:14:42
  that is just your mind drifting to sleep, which is
• 7:14:49
  quite natural, because sometimes when we're stressed and tense, we're
• 7:15:00
  not may not actually be aware of what we need,
• 7:15:05
  what we physically or emotionally need in this moment. But
• 7:15:13
  when you allow your body and mind to relax completely
• 7:15:21
  and you let go of all thoughts, concerns, worries, ideas,
• 7:15:30
  all letting them go, allowing them to drop onto the floor.
• 7:15:40
  You start to get in touch with the feelings of
• 7:15:48
  such relaxation. This feels so nice to be in touch
• 7:15:59
  with the calmness of the different body parts as they
• 7:16:08
  become looser and looser. Even your breathing seems easier and
• 7:16:22
  more natural effortless, as that cool there enters through your
• 7:16:31
  mouth or nose into your lungs, breathing in comforts and relaxation,
• 7:16:44
  and then just breathing out any excess remain intention or
• 7:16:50
  stress from every part of your body and might. And
• 7:17:00
  as you start to focus on your mind, maybe you
• 7:17:06
  notice that things come to a standstill or maybe just
• 7:17:15
  much much lower than before, because your mind is not
• 7:17:23
  really needed when listening to my voice, which allows your
• 7:17:34
  mind to relax just as deeply as your body. And
• 7:17:42
  that's synchronicity between the relaxation of your body relaxation of
• 7:17:55
  your mind.
• 7:17:58
  Speaker 13: Let you know that.
• 7:18:02
  Speaker 1: Feeling completely calm, loose, and relaxed really is a great
• 7:18:15
  healing experience fear.
• 7:18:22
  Speaker 5: And has.
• 7:18:27
  Speaker 1: So many positive benefits for your body, mind, and your life.
• 7:18:38
  To be able to let go everything and to relax
• 7:18:46
  completely in all parts of your body and mind. Even
• 7:18:57
  your bones has araxed, All your muscles are rix, even
• 7:19:12
  the skin that covers your body is relaxed. Every hair
• 7:19:29
  that you have is also deeply relaxed, and your brain
• 7:19:47
  really starts to feel the benefits but this healing relaxation.
• 7:20:01
  And then as you focus on the inside of your
• 7:20:07
  scalp where your brain is, you can start to realize
• 7:20:14
  and notice the benefits of your brain relaxing deeply. Then,
• 7:20:27
  as your brain continues to relax sends those messages to
• 7:20:39
  the rest of your body and your mind to re
• 7:20:48
  wax e more deeply, relax in the more completely, letting
• 7:21:09
  go of any remaining thoughts or concerns, allow them just
• 7:21:21
  to drop onto the floor because they're no longer necessary
• 7:21:29
  in this moment, In this moment of deep relaxation and calmness,
• 7:21:43
  filling your brain with deep, concentrated healing, calming, relaxing, every
• 7:22:10
  part of your brain feeling so loose and comfortable, so
• 7:22:29
  relaxed and peaceful. Your brain feels so light, that's so healthy.
• 7:22:47
  In that sense of deep deep comfort really does allow
• 7:22:58
  you to enjoy those ever increasing sensations of comfort that
• 7:23:13
  are spreading throughout your body, relaxing each and every muscle
• 7:23:26
  of your body.

  Such comfort spreading and sinking deeper into a muscle your body,
• 7:26:42
  so that you feel amazing, so relaxed, so peaceful, so peaceful,
• 7:27:10
  letting go. You're going to do a body scan, focusing
• 7:27:25
  on firstly how you feel in your body, not trying
• 7:27:31
  to change how you feel, not trying to relax, not
• 7:27:37
  trying to move away from any discomfort or stress or tension.
• 7:27:44
  Just accepting, observing and accepting how you feel in the
• 7:27:51
  different parts of your body, Just allowing yourself to be
• 7:27:58
  exactly as you are, to notice to get in touch
• 7:28:10
  with how you actually feel in this moment, I'm going
• 7:28:17
  to start off by focusing on your hands. Just be
• 7:28:28
  aware of your hands. I'd like you to move your
• 7:28:36
  hands around. Just maybe move your fingers.
• 7:28:41
  Speaker 5: A little bit.
• 7:28:44
  Speaker 1: I've been and closing your hands very gently, just so
• 7:28:50
  that you can get in touch with how your hands
• 7:28:58
  and your fingers fail, very very slow movements. Focusing now
• 7:29:19
  on your feet, and if you can just do kind
• 7:29:26
  of an equivalent with your feet.
• 7:29:29
  Speaker 17: Is you've just done with your hands, Maybe turn in
• 7:29:36
  your ankles, moving your feet around, moving your toes gently,
• 7:29:47
  only very.
• 7:29:50
  Speaker 1: Gently and very slowly, noticing how your feet feel in
• 7:30:02
  this moment. Focusing now and your eyes. I like you
• 7:30:16
  to just focus on your eyelids. Maybe you can open
• 7:30:23
  and close your eyes a couple of times to really
• 7:30:28
  get in touch with how you feel when you do
• 7:30:31
  close your eyes. The muscle changes in your eyes when
• 7:30:40
  you do close them, maybe raising your eyebrows. It stretches
• 7:30:49
  the tops of your eyes, perhaps squinting your eyes, scrunching
• 7:31:00
  up your eyes just so you can hear it again.
• 7:31:04
  Touch with all aspects of how your eyes feel.
• 7:31:18
  Speaker 13: Right now.
• 7:31:27
  Speaker 1: Now, focusing on your thighs, and you know it just
• 7:31:33
  starts you to gently tense your thighs, just very very gently,
• 7:31:44
  just enough so you can become more attuned to the
• 7:31:56
  physical sensation of your upper legs, the front of your thighs,
• 7:32:05
  and the backs of your thigh. Noticing and observing how
• 7:32:18
  your thighs feel. Right now, moving your focus to the
• 7:32:33
  back of your neck, just noticing the back of your neck,
• 7:32:42
  the muscles, and of course they lead to the side
• 7:32:47
  of your neck. They also lead to the top of
• 7:32:51
  your back, which leads to your shoulders. So there's your
• 7:32:58
  focus on in the back of your neck. Maybe you
• 7:33:03
  can move your head gently upwards as if you're looking up.
• 7:33:12
  Maybe moving your head down as if you were looking down.
• 7:33:21
  Perhaps moving your head side to side, right to left,
• 7:33:28
  only very slowly and very gently. I'm not trying to
• 7:33:39
  force anything. It has to be very very gentle, just
• 7:33:51
  so you can.
• 7:33:54
  Speaker 5: Be more.
• 7:33:57
  Speaker 1: In touch with the feelings, with the sensations, the physical
• 7:34:08
  sensations of hound back of your neck fields. Right now,
• 7:34:25
  as we now focus on the tops of your arms,
• 7:34:35
  the parts where your biceps and your triceps are between
• 7:34:40
  your elbow and your shoulders. Should focus on those parts,
• 7:34:49
  the tops of your arms. You may like to just
• 7:34:55
  tense them, but very very gently and slowly, so you're
• 7:35:06
  not straining or putting any pressure whatsoever on your arms.
• 7:35:18
  It's just so that you can gain more of a
• 7:35:25
  sense of how your upper arms are feeling in this moment,
• 7:35:40
  and just noticing as you gently, very gently and slowly
• 7:35:52
  tighten the muscles and then let go. Notice how the
• 7:36:03
  tops of your arms feel right now, as in now
• 7:36:19
  focus on your stomach, the area the lower abdomen area
• 7:36:30
  below your belly button, moving all the way down to
• 7:36:38
  your hips, just above your grind. Maybe you're able to
• 7:36:50
  tense these muscles in the area very very gently and slowly,
• 7:37:09
  if that's a difficult thing to do, and maybe you
• 7:37:13
  can just move your body pushing your stomach up and
• 7:37:23
  maybe move a little bit to the side using your hips,
• 7:37:29
  just so you can get more in tune with how
• 7:37:38
  you're lower apptomen area is feeling in this moment. Just
• 7:37:57
  noticing the physical sensations or your lower abdomen as you
• 7:38:20
  move your attention to your mouth, noticing your lips and
• 7:38:35
  inside your mouth, the teeth, your guns, your tongue, Just
• 7:38:53
  noticing how your tongue in your mouth feels. It may
• 7:39:02
  help by moving your tongue around your mouth, moving it
• 7:39:11
  to your left, maybe pressing it gently against the side
• 7:39:19
  of your mouth, and then to the right, gently to
• 7:39:25
  the side of your mouth, perhaps pressing up against the
• 7:39:33
  top of your mouth, and then down gently against the
• 7:39:40
  bottom of your mouth, always very slowly, in a very
• 7:39:54
  very gentle so that you can be aware of how
• 7:40:11
  you feel in your mouth area now and to focus
• 7:40:36
  on your wrists. And I'm gonna ask you to maybe
• 7:40:51
  just routine your wrists by moving your hands the circular
• 7:41:01
  motion very gently and slowly, just so you can feel
• 7:41:26
  the sensations that you are currently experiencing in your wrists.
• 7:41:42
  Perhaps move in your hands up and down again very
• 7:41:55
  very gently and slowly, very gentle and slow. As we
• 7:42:32
  now start to observe in lower back, the bad part
• 7:42:49
  is just above of your hips where your cocksix are
• 7:43:07
  a whole area which also really does include the side
• 7:43:14
  of your body because those muscles are very much connected
• 7:43:25
  as those muscles also move into your hip area connecting
• 7:43:32
  to your buttocks the sides of your hips, And if
• 7:43:47
  you're physically able to do so, maybe E can very
• 7:43:57
  gently just move your body ever so slightly, very slowly
• 7:44:12
  some side to side just enough ye s gauge how
• 7:44:30
  you feel in your lower back. Perhaps you cat even
• 7:44:47
  move your hips gently up and down, gently and slowly
• 7:45:01
  in order to be in touch with the physical sensations
• 7:45:15
  of your law back. As we now, move your attention
• 7:45:45
  to your joel an area for your chin, all the
• 7:45:52
  way up to near where your ears are, oh, all
• 7:46:00
  of your jaw, and you can, just if it's okay
• 7:46:15
  to do so, gently open your mouth, not wide, no stretching,
• 7:46:27
  just very gently and slowly opening your mouthing, closing your
• 7:46:41
  mouth very gently and slowly, so you can.
• 7:47:02
  Speaker 5: Be in touch.
• 7:47:10
  Speaker 1: With how your jaw feels. Now. I to sit now
• 7:47:46
  the chest area. You don't need to do anything to
• 7:48:01
  move your chest because it moves every time you breathe.
• 7:48:13
  It moves very gently and slowly, automatically with each bread
• 7:48:28
  you take. As you focus on how your chest feels
• 7:48:53
  when you breath, move in your focus to your forearms,
• 7:49:30
  your elbows. Maybe you're able to very gently and slowly
• 7:49:49
  tense the muscles in your forearms, and when you do that,
• 7:49:58
  you can feel your elbows as well, very gently and slowly,
• 7:50:30
  gently and softly. I'm sad your forearms and dilpours. No
• 7:51:10
  focus the rest of your back, your upper back and
• 7:51:29
  the middle the middle of your back again, this part
• 7:51:47
  of your body. News. Also every time you pray, you
• 7:52:02
  may not notice that. Usually less you observe your upper
• 7:52:16
  back in the middle of your back, you can really
• 7:52:24
  feel that gentle and it's slow moment. Moving your focus
• 7:53:21
  into your area of buttees the gray, those muscles and
• 7:53:36
  those bones in your midsection. Just noticing how your hips feel.
• 7:54:19
  Right now you can very very gently move your hips,
• 7:54:42
  maybe side to side, very gently and.
• 7:54:50
  Speaker 18: Sl yeah, softly.
• 7:55:36
  Speaker 1: Everything starts to slow down, including the thoughts in your
• 7:55:53
  mind and your mind itself just starts to gradually. It
• 7:56:05
  doesn't have to be instant, but just gradually starting too.
• 7:56:12
  It's almost like time is streight Chin. It's a slower
• 7:56:21
  pace to maybe what you're used to in your day
• 7:56:29
  to day life. It's a slower movement of energy, very
• 7:56:56
  small movements which make up the larger movements, which is
• 7:57:04
  always the case. Now, when you move your hand, it
• 7:57:12
  might seem like it's one movement, but it's lots of
• 7:57:16
  minute different muscles moving in accordance with each other. And
• 7:57:28
  what happens in this space that we're sharing is we
• 7:57:41
  move from that big movement into those smaller movements, starting
• 7:58:02
  to focus on how your body feels, not just as
• 7:58:13
  a whole, not just oh, i'm feel in this way.
• 7:58:17
  I'm feeling stressed or tense, or I'm feeling relaxed and calm.
• 7:58:24
  I'm feeling this way, I'm feeling that way. Starting to
• 7:58:31
  notice that your body begins to present to you small
• 7:58:44
  feelings around your body, small physical sensations in x, whether
• 7:59:03
  pleasurable or not. Maybe resisting the temptation to label them
• 7:59:19
  or to judge them those feelings, just thinking them, thinking
• 7:59:27
  about them is just being neutral, just feelings, not being
• 7:59:41
  particularly concerned, but just noticing what your body is telling you.
• 7:59:59
  Feel in your arms instead of feeling the whole of
• 8:00:06
  the arm, Maybe notice those individual feelings, all those different
• 8:00:16
  muscles and the skin, the hairs of your arms, all
• 8:00:29
  the internal parts of your arms, the veins, the bones,
• 8:00:46
  just being aware of maybe your elbow on your right
• 8:00:52
  arm has a certain feeling. Maybe you're left wrist also
• 8:01:03
  has its own individual physical sensation. What about your forearm
• 8:01:27
  when your right arm, you're right forearm, there may not
• 8:01:39
  be any particular feeling that you could even give a
• 8:01:47
  name to, may not feel like anything other than just
• 8:01:55
  a feeling. You know it's there. The feelings in your shoulders,
• 8:02:08
  perhaps your shoulders when you think about them, kind of
• 8:02:12
  almost like they're the same, you know, the same feeling,
• 8:02:19
  almost like you both of your shoulders are just one thing.
• 8:02:24
  Of course they're not. And when you focus on your
• 8:02:35
  left shoulder and then on your right shoulder, maybe find
• 8:02:44
  that you move the muscles a little bit, maybe tense
• 8:02:49
  the muscles gently, noticing the difference in each shoulder.
• 8:03:15
  Speaker 19: And your lower back, the left side of your lower
• 8:03:30
  back and the right side of your.
• 8:03:33
  Speaker 1: Lower back of course that connection to your buttocks and
• 8:03:46
  to your hips, and also moving up into the middle
• 8:03:58
  of your back. And sometimes like right now, actually when
• 8:04:11
  I focus on their part, when I focused on my
• 8:04:15
  buttocks and then I focused on the middle of my back,
• 8:04:22
  I almost felt like the muscles in my lower back
• 8:04:25
  were being stretched very gently, just stretched a little bit.
• 8:04:36
  Even though I wasn't doing anything to try to stretch
• 8:04:45
  your lower back, it just seemed to happen. The feeling
• 8:04:50
  of very gently stretching your lower back m comes along.
• 8:05:10
  I have feeling in your chest, just noticing what sensations
• 8:05:35
  you are experiencing in your chest right now, and there's
• 8:05:53
  so much of the chest. Obviously, there's the collar bone
• 8:05:57
  leading to the chest. You've got the chest bone, You've
• 8:06:04
  got the muscles in your chest. Of course, if you're female,
• 8:06:13
  there's possibly the breasts. Your male you've got the different
• 8:06:24
  well why not that different these days. But there may
• 8:06:29
  be more muscles at the top of the chest, but
• 8:06:37
  at the side underneath, it's pretty much the same. Whether
• 8:06:42
  you're a man or a woman. There's muscles there, muscles
• 8:06:47
  that stretch out to your back as well as breast
• 8:06:52
  tissue stretches and moves into your back. To just being
• 8:07:01
  aware of your chest, being with whatever feeling there is
• 8:07:22
  in your chest. Well, I noticed that I focus on
• 8:07:41
  my chest. I feel it in my back and my
• 8:07:48
  upper back. I mean, I guess the obvious reason would
• 8:07:52
  be because you know, I'll breathe in it and it
• 8:08:03
  stretches my chest and my back at the same time.
• 8:08:14
  It feels it feels okay, it doesn't feel I got
• 8:08:29
  a little bit of pain in my right chest, a
• 8:08:36
  little bit not pain, but a little discomfort, maybe stiffness possibly,
• 8:08:42
  I don't know. I notice my shoulders also wanting to
• 8:08:54
  flex for some reason. I think that's probably part of
• 8:08:58
  my upper back, that connection between my shoulders Martha back.
• 8:09:09
  Because I can move my shoulders and stretch the muscles
• 8:09:14
  in my back, moving the shoulders backwards or up, which
• 8:09:22
  then moves I think it's the scapulous in your back.
• 8:09:38
  It feels quite nice. Actually, a good thing about this
• 8:09:46
  is you can, if you want to, you can just
• 8:09:55
  flex or stimulate the various muscles in your body gently
• 8:10:08
  in order to get more of a sense of how
• 8:10:11
  they feel. And when you're relaxing and you do tense
• 8:10:26
  and muscle and you let it go and you let
• 8:10:30
  it relax, it relaxes way more than it would normally.
• 8:10:44
  But you have to feel that you're able to do that.
• 8:10:51
  There's no point in doing it if there's an issue
• 8:10:57
  with the per part of your body. You need to
• 8:11:03
  be gentle with yourself at all times when relaxing deeply.
• 8:11:16
  It's important to be kind to yourself. As you notice
• 8:11:31
  your mind. How much has your mind slowed down since
• 8:11:43
  we started this recording? How came and peaceful is your
• 8:12:09
  mind right now? We have nothing to think about and
• 8:12:21
  just my voice to listen to, Because you know, the
• 8:12:29
  intention behind this recording is relaxation at the very least
• 8:12:41
  for you to feel more relaxed at the end of
• 8:12:46
  the recording than you did at the beginning, At the
• 8:12:54
  very least, mind to slow down because your body continues
• 8:13:10
  to relax, because that's what you want to happen. That's
• 8:13:27
  what you expect to happen, for relaxation, to fill your body,
• 8:13:56
  maybe calm in your mind to the point of boredom.
• 8:14:05
  When you start maybe to drift away, drifting, it's almost
• 8:14:49
  as if you're moving further away from your body in
• 8:14:58
  your mind, just leaving that there, kind of liking it.
• 8:15:12
  An escape pod in the spaceship a movie, a space movie,
• 8:15:18
  you know, I mean against a little part in it
• 8:15:22
  sends the man far away from the spaceship, safe to
• 8:15:38
  dream and continue to relax. Drifting so slow and be
• 8:16:49
  so and peaceful and focusing on the feeding of those
• 8:17:53
  individual parts your body. That's a relaxing One by one,
• 8:18:12
  you may find that every now and then you realize
• 8:18:25
  that you weren't listening to my voice because your mind
• 8:18:36
  started to imagine something different, maybe started to almost move
• 8:18:51
  into some kind of a dreamy state. And then you
• 8:19:00
  become aware of my voice again. And even though you
• 8:19:08
  may want to focus on my voice. You may also
• 8:19:15
  wish to allow your mind to just drift naturally into
• 8:19:29
  that space of comfort and safety. As you feel more
• 8:19:51
  comfort spreading through your body like a warm blad get
• 8:20:04
  covering you gently, keeping your body at just the perfect temperature.
• 8:20:29
  And even if you can hear background sounds, they just
• 8:20:41
  don't seem to matter anymore. There's that sense peace spreads
• 8:20:58
  through your mind like a gentle breeze, yet strong enough
• 8:21:12
  to blow away all negativity, strong.
• 8:21:23
  Speaker 5: Enough to.
• 8:21:27
  Speaker 1: Remove from your mind any anxiety or stress that was
• 8:21:37
  there before, and blow away any other thoughts or feelings
• 8:21:53
  that just don't fit with the sense relaxation that is
• 8:22:19
  feeling your body and your mind. And as you focus
• 8:22:44
  on your mind, we count down from ten down to one,
• 8:22:52
  and with each number you hear, your mind will become
• 8:23:08
  slightly more relaxed, just just slightly, from ten down to nine,
• 8:23:29
  just a slight movement, from nine down to eight, just
• 8:23:36
  another small change in how you feel. Eight down to seven.
• 8:23:56
  That feeling is a gap, almost like a gap that
• 8:24:02
  starts to get the wider, the gap between those feelings
• 8:24:12
  that you used to have in your mind compared to
• 8:24:19
  the feelings you have the growing now feelings of comfort
• 8:24:27
  and security and confidence, and the gap becomes wider eight
• 8:24:38
  down to seven, seven, down to six, and when you
• 8:24:45
  get to five, the mind will start to have a
• 8:24:52
  certain physical sensation, most like there's a magnet outside of
• 8:25:05
  your head sucking the tension and the stress and any
• 8:25:12
  remaining feelings that you don't want, sucking them out through
• 8:25:19
  your skull.
• 8:25:26
  Speaker 20: And in down to four.
• 8:25:29
  Speaker 1: You can start to really experience that sense of not
• 8:25:36
  just emptiness, but space, place full of fresh air, the
• 8:25:51
  place where you can stretch. It's almost as if as
• 8:25:58
  you go down to four and three, your mind is expanding,
• 8:26:04
  with this sense of peace and tranquility growing as it
• 8:26:17
  moves down to When you get to one, your mind
• 8:26:28
  just feels exactly how you want to feel, almost perfect feeling,
• 8:26:47
  maybe a sensation that.
• 8:26:54
  Speaker 13: You'd like to keep.
• 8:26:58
  Speaker 1: A place that's faith where nothing can affect you at all,
• 8:27:21
  and you can stay in that that space of comfort
• 8:27:25
  and confidence, confident in your own ability to create this
• 8:27:36
  space and this feeling of comfort within your own mind
• 8:27:44
  just by counting ten down to one. And this is
• 8:27:54
  something that you can do yourself when you're on your own,
• 8:28:03
  the time when you can maybe sit down, maybe just
• 8:28:07
  for a few minutes, close your eyes, just counts slowly
• 8:28:20
  from ten down to one and re experience these feelings
• 8:28:35
  in your mind. And when you feel that way in
• 8:28:43
  your mind, your body copies your mind, and that feelings
• 8:29:00
  break through your spine and your nervous system into every
• 8:29:07
  part of your body, travels through your bloodstream, heathing and
• 8:29:20
  relaxing every particle of your existence. Now we can we
• 8:29:40
  can practice this a few times before the end of
• 8:29:48
  the recording, and then you can practice on your own.
• 8:29:55
  And each time you count for ten out to one,
• 8:30:05
  the feelings of comfort, calmness, and deep deep relaxation becomes stronger,
• 8:30:19
  deeper feeling your mind and your brain. With these positive chemicals,
• 8:30:37
  the spread throughout your body, relaxing you so quickly, relaxing
• 8:30:48
  your whole body and mind so very, very easily just
• 8:31:00
  by counting from ten.
• 8:31:06
  Speaker 13: Down to one. So we're gonna do now.
• 8:31:14
  Speaker 1: I'm going to count from ten down to one. I'd
• 8:31:18
  like you to repeat the number after me. So when
• 8:31:22
  I say ten, you can just repeat to yourself ten.
• 8:31:36
  Just notice, be aware of how you feel in your
• 8:31:46
  mind and your body. Then when I say nine, you
• 8:31:55
  can repeat to yourself. Nine became noticing the increase in
• 8:32:11
  comfort and calmness in your mind and in your body
• 8:32:25
  the same. Wanna say eight, when I say seven, six,
• 8:32:37
  when I say five, four, when I say three, two,
• 8:32:56
  and lastly want to say one. You can repeat that
• 8:33:02
  number now. Of course, when you do this on your
• 8:33:14
  own without listening to me, you can say the numbers
• 8:33:20
  or whatever speed that you feel is necessary for you,
• 8:33:31
  so you can adapt. So if you feel you want
• 8:33:36
  to say the numbers ten down to one faster than
• 8:33:42
  I do, then you go ahead and do that. Or
• 8:33:47
  if you feel when you do it yourself, then you'd
• 8:33:51
  like to have more more space between the numbers, maybe
• 8:34:00
  a lot longer to get from ten all the way
• 8:34:06
  down to one, that's your choice also to do. So
• 8:34:24
  I'm going to count from ten down to one, and
• 8:34:33
  when I get to one, that will be the end
• 8:34:37
  of this recording. The less of course, you're listening with music,
• 8:34:43
  and the music will continue. Ten nine, eight, yes, twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen,
• 8:40:00
  thirty twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,
• 8:40:50
  three two one. Now open your eyes, noticing how you
• 8:41:18
  physically feel having counted down from twenty to one allowing
• 8:41:28
  stress and tension to leave through your fingertips and your toast.
• 8:41:34
  And as you focus on your fingertips maybe they feel
• 8:41:38
  a little bit tingly, which is I suppose quite understanding,
• 8:41:45
  considering the tension has been exiting your body through your fingertips.
• 8:41:57
  So now I'm going to count from twenty down to
• 8:41:59
  one again. This time you can feel relief of tension
• 8:42:08
  and stress and the anxiety that.
• 8:42:11
  Speaker 21: You may have.
• 8:42:17
  Speaker 1: Leaving through your stomach, just leaving through your stomach, almost
• 8:42:25
  as if it's just releasing the whole of your stomach,
• 8:42:32
  enable to just above your chest or below your chest,
• 8:42:37
  rather so surrounding your belly by an area, the whole area.
• 8:42:43
  You can feel the tension of your body, whatever's left
• 8:42:48
  just releasing from the area, and you may notice that
• 8:42:54
  your stomach.
• 8:42:54
  Speaker 13: Will become very relaxed.
• 8:42:57
  Speaker 1: As I countdown twenty dance one now twenty nineteen, eighteen
• 8:43:22
  m seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine
• 8:44:07
  eight seven six wy ooh three.
• 8:44:33
  Speaker 13: Two what.
• 8:44:43
  Speaker 1: And you can open your eyes again if you choose,
• 8:44:46
  but you can just keep them closed because it feels
• 8:44:49
  relaxing just noticing your stomach fills notice there's your focus.
• 8:44:57
  Just do a little scan if you body. Just notice
• 8:45:03
  how your body does focusing on up a body, back, chest, stomach, legs, arms, hands, feet,
• 8:45:19
  Just noticing, and you know, you may start to feel
• 8:45:28
  more of a sense of tiredness, which may be the
• 8:45:32
  reason you're listening to this according because you would like
• 8:45:38
  to let go completely of everything and dread all into
• 8:45:48
  a nice, natural, calm, relaxing sleep. So now we're going
• 8:46:03
  to focus on your forehead, and if you choose, you
• 8:46:13
  can incorporate your eyes in this focus as well. Your
• 8:46:18
  forehead and your eyes, it's that whole area basically almost
• 8:46:24
  as if you were wearing a mask, you know, like
• 8:46:27
  a I don't know, a Batman mask.
• 8:46:31
  Speaker 13: Or something, or.
• 8:46:34
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to zorro or something, you know, the kind
• 8:46:37
  of mask that covers your eyes but also covers quite
• 8:46:41
  a lot of the forehead. They're focusing on that area
• 8:46:47
  because that's the area that we're now going to release
• 8:46:50
  tension and stress from your mind and your brain, from
• 8:46:56
  your mind, and any tension that you may have remaining
• 8:47:00
  in your face, in your neck and your jawl, your eyes,
• 8:47:07
  your forehead, or your scalp. So basically any tension within
• 8:47:13
  your head area, including your mind.
• 8:47:17
  Speaker 13: And your brain.
• 8:47:22
  Speaker 1: That's going to be released through your forehead and your eyes.
• 8:47:30
  As I count down again from twenty down to one
• 8:47:36
  now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven,
• 8:48:52
  six five war three.
• 8:49:13
  Speaker 13: Yeah, what.
• 8:49:25
  Speaker 1: Noticing? And you scan your face with jaw, your eyes,
• 8:49:35
  the cheap bones, your ears, avoihead, your scalp, your.
• 8:49:44
  Speaker 13: Neck, the back of your neck, in the front of
• 8:49:47
  your neck, the.
• 8:49:49
  Speaker 1: Science of your neck, and the throat.
• 8:49:52
  Speaker 13: Hm m hmm.
• 8:49:57
  Speaker 1: Leticing being where the comfort increased in the relaxation, not
• 8:50:11
  just in your head and neck and mind, also the
• 8:50:16
  rest of your body.
• 8:50:22
  Speaker 13: So it is how loose.
• 8:50:25
  Speaker 1: And calm you are, and how easily.
• 8:50:31
  Speaker 13: It is to just let go.
• 8:50:35
  Speaker 1: Completely, let go completely, how easily so do vows? I
• 8:51:02
  want to focus on the top of your head, and
• 8:51:10
  we're gonna allow every last piece of tension or stress
• 8:51:19
  that might be lingering or hiding in your body or
• 8:51:25
  mind my head to just be sucked out the top
• 8:51:33
  of your head.
• 8:51:36
  Speaker 13: At least. Yeah, I want to suck down into.
• 8:51:43
  Speaker 1: The clouds imagine to be cloud of God your head.
• 8:51:51
  It's like a whirlpool, and is gonna suck that.
• 8:51:55
  Speaker 13: Attention out of the top of your head and just
• 8:52:02
  take it away.
• 8:52:04
  Speaker 1: Good to focus. Imagine an opening on the top of
• 8:52:11
  your head with a tension, stress and in remaining issues,
• 8:52:18
  maybe worries of concerns that.
• 8:52:21
  Speaker 13: Have no use to you now can all be sucked
• 8:52:25
  down at the top of your head.
• 8:52:28
  Speaker 1: I've taken away as I count down again from twenty
• 8:52:35
  down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixty, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, even, ten, nine, eight, seven.
• 8:54:13
  Speaker 20: Six, five, four three one, bree.
• 8:54:54
  Speaker 1: Noticing how you feel, how relaxed and calm you physically
• 8:55:08
  and mentally feel right now, how peace or your mind feels.
• 8:55:25
  It feels so nice to just let go, to give
• 8:55:30
  yourself some space to breathe easily, to think calmly, and
• 8:55:44
  just to take a break from all that pointless worry
• 8:55:50
  and concerns about things that you don't need to think
• 8:55:55
  about right now, because this is your time to let go.
• 8:56:07
  This is your space to enjoy feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful
• 8:56:17
  in your mind, relaxed in your body. They can feel
• 8:56:25
  so good, so nice to just not have to do
• 8:56:34
  anything to be able to really enjoy that serenity that
• 8:56:45
  comes of letting go completely, that peacefulness that comes with.
• 8:57:00
  Speaker 5: Being in this.
• 8:57:03
  Speaker 1: Peaceful space. And you can keep this sense of calmness
• 8:57:14
  for as long.
• 8:57:15
  Speaker 13: As you choose.
• 8:57:24
  Speaker 1: If you choose to drift off into deep, healing, natural sleep,
• 8:57:33
  then you can do that. It's completely up to you,
• 8:57:44
  and you can keep this feeling of calmness physically, mean,
• 8:57:49
  in your mind, as long as you choose to feel
• 8:57:55
  completely relaxed, completely relax. And I'd like you to make
• 8:58:11
  up your mind that you're going to relax. I want
• 8:58:25
  to explore that with you. What it feels like when
• 8:58:28
  you actually decide that you're going to relax, not forcing yourself,
• 8:58:38
  but giving yourself that. Yes, it is a command, really,
• 8:58:44
  isn't it. When you're telling yourself relax in a gentle
• 8:58:51
  but firm way that only you can really tell yourself
• 8:58:58
  in that way. You can't really have someone else saying
• 8:59:01
  to you, now it relax, relax. You know it needs
• 8:59:08
  to be gentle, but you can't. Someone else can't really
• 8:59:11
  have the same the same kind of influence or power
• 8:59:20
  that you have over your own physicality over how you feel,
• 8:59:34
  because when you say it to yourself. It means more
• 8:59:40
  it's personal, and your brain and your unconscious mind and
• 8:59:47
  your body listens to what you say. So for example,
• 8:59:54
  we'll test it out and do a little test, a
• 8:59:57
  few little tests along the way, and you can get
• 9:00:00
  more of an idea of the force, a positive force
• 9:00:07
  that you can have in creating a sense of comfort
• 9:00:14
  and relaxation in your body and your mind quite quickly
• 9:00:21
  just by you telling yourself to relax. So I'm going
• 9:00:31
  to start by it's focus on your hands. Focus on
• 9:00:39
  your hands, and just tell your hands to relax, and
• 9:00:42
  just say relax. As you focus on your hands, you
• 9:00:49
  could say my hands are relaxed, or I want my
• 9:00:54
  hands to relax. I think if you actually do it
• 9:00:58
  directly by focusing and imagining that your hands can hear
• 9:01:07
  what you're saying. You know that they've got little ears.
• 9:01:10
  Speaker 13: This is a little weird.
• 9:01:13
  Speaker 1: So talking to your hands and just say relax. Noticing
• 9:01:30
  now your hands start to relax. Now focus on your
• 9:01:46
  eyes and tell your eyes to relax. You're just saying
• 9:01:50
  the same word relax, and find the right tone for you.
• 9:02:00
  Speaker 13: Know, I might say.
• 9:02:01
  Speaker 1: Relax, but you you might say relax or relax. You know,
• 9:02:11
  you might say it differently to yourself, and that's important
• 9:02:17
  for you to gauge what feels right for you. To
• 9:02:24
  just tell your eyes to relax whilst focusing on your eyes,
• 9:02:29
  your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eyebrows, and
• 9:02:34
  just tell your eyes directly relax.
• 9:02:42
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 9:03:09
  Speaker 1: Now, I just did that myself. And sometimes you may
• 9:03:20
  feel that you need a bit more time for the
• 9:03:24
  different parts to relax, you know, because I start talking
• 9:03:28
  again and maybe that part hasn't relaxed fully. But what
• 9:03:33
  will happen is that we'll just continue to relax.
• 9:03:36
  Speaker 13: Even though I'm talking.
• 9:03:38
  Speaker 1: And that's happening with my eyes. Something else I noticed
• 9:03:44
  is when I started focusing on my eyes, that actually
• 9:03:50
  almost became they got worse before they got better in
• 9:03:53
  a way. So I felt a degree of tension growing
• 9:03:57
  in my eyes and then this pearing. So I think
• 9:04:02
  what that was really it was just me becoming more
• 9:04:05
  aware of the tension that was already there that I wasn't.
• 9:04:13
  I wasn't focused on it before, I wasn't really acknowledging
• 9:04:18
  it or really conscious to those feelings. Yeah, my eyes
• 9:04:35
  is still continuing to relax, as well as my hands. Actually,
• 9:04:42
  my hands have got a certain kind of energy. I
• 9:04:48
  can not buzz in, but I can kind of funeral
• 9:04:53
  a degree of energy in my hands. Maybe that's where
• 9:04:59
  the tensions be released. Yeah, that's supports, and that the
• 9:05:11
  next part I think we should focus on the back
• 9:05:13
  of the neck. That's a part of which quite often,
• 9:05:18
  well for me, holds at tension. I don't know about
• 9:05:20
  for yourself, but I think it's quite a standard place
• 9:05:25
  where tension is sometimes held. So, and I'm doing exactly
• 9:05:32
  what you're doing as you do it as well, so
• 9:05:35
  I'm telling my body parts.
• 9:05:38
  Speaker 13: To relax as well. So if you tell your neck
• 9:05:41
  at the.
• 9:05:41
  Speaker 1: Back of your neck, focus on the back of your neck,
• 9:05:44
  and just say relax in your own words, in your
• 9:05:51
  own tone, in your own voice. You can say out loud,
• 9:05:55
  or you can just say it to yourself internally. But
• 9:05:59
  your focus saying and you're saying it literally to.
• 9:06:03
  Speaker 13: The back of your nick is this The vack in
• 9:06:06
  your left can actually year what are you're saying? So
• 9:06:13
  did that?
• 9:06:13
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 9:06:13
  Speaker 13: Just say lass the back unique and I'll do the same.
• 9:06:57
  Speaker 1: And what I noticed in you had similar thing is
• 9:07:03
  even though I was focusing on the back of my neck,
• 9:07:11
  other parts started to I don't know, showed themselves to
• 9:07:18
  me or maybe because they want to be relaxed as well.
• 9:07:21
  But I started noticing the feelings in my shoulders, attension
• 9:07:26
  in my shoulders and in my other back. Whether that
• 9:07:32
  was because my back of my neck was saying, well,
• 9:07:37
  I'm pretty much okay. It's the other parts that need attention,
• 9:07:49
  but my lobe, my back of my neck is still relaxing.
• 9:07:53
  But I just became more aware of other parts that
• 9:07:56
  needed attention. Now, this might happen and it's not. It
• 9:08:04
  doesn't mean that it's going any wrong.
• 9:08:06
  Speaker 13: It just means you're.
• 9:08:08
  Speaker 22: Being notified of more places that also want to feel relaxed.
• 9:08:18
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to focus on my upper back.
• 9:08:22
  Speaker 13: So you can do the same, even if you don't have.
• 9:08:26
  Speaker 1: Any feelings of tension that are obvious in your upper back.
• 9:08:34
  You just focus on your back and the whole area
• 9:08:39
  and the shoulder blades down to the middle of your
• 9:08:43
  back there the spine, and with me, it's more the
• 9:08:48
  shoulder blades than.
• 9:08:54
  Speaker 13: Yeah, that's the parts that I really sort of giving me.
• 9:09:01
  Speaker 1: Did not.
• 9:09:03
  Speaker 13: That it needs to relax in the Soun's gonna ask
• 9:09:06
  that part to relax and you can do the same.
• 9:09:09
  Speaker 1: Now relapsing up the back. There's something strange happened now,
• 9:09:36
  And this often happens.
• 9:09:39
  Speaker 11: I've been doing this for.
• 9:09:43
  Speaker 1: Sixteen years or something, and often one surprised that amazed,
• 9:09:51
  really bad. There can be a feeling. So when I
• 9:09:57
  was focusing on the back of my neck, my upper
• 9:10:00
  back was starting to feel quite stressed and in need
• 9:10:05
  of attention. As soon as I started talking to you
• 9:10:11
  about my upper back and talking about, you know, getting
• 9:10:16
  ready to ask the upper back to relax, why the
• 9:10:21
  back already started to relax. It's almost as if it
• 9:10:27
  doesn't need to hear the words, just needs attention, just
• 9:10:37
  needs to be noticed. That is something that often happens
• 9:10:50
  in this type of situation is when you start to
• 9:10:58
  relax a couple of parts of your body, as we've
• 9:11:03
  done with our hands and eyes and eyelids, and now
• 9:11:11
  back of.
• 9:11:11
  Speaker 13: The neck, top of the bag.
• 9:11:18
  Speaker 1: At the back, the rest of the body seems to
• 9:11:21
  just take notice and decide in its own way to
• 9:11:30
  start relaxing. Other parts of your body start to just
• 9:11:39
  become looser. I suppose it's kind of like a bit
• 9:11:46
  of an avalanche, you know, the little balls starts rolling
• 9:11:51
  and before you know, the whole of your body is
• 9:11:54
  completely relaxed and can't And if you focus on your face,
• 9:12:12
  if you focus on your eyes, the eyelids, your eyebrowns,
• 9:12:19
  and the muscles around your eyes, and then you start
• 9:12:28
  to notice that your forehead is more relaxed than it was.
• 9:12:35
  Maybe your face is more relaxed. I would say my
• 9:12:41
  entire face is a lot more relaxed than the words.
• 9:12:56
  So we're going to focus now on your shoulders again,
• 9:13:02
  just like before. Just tell your shoulders. I mean, you
• 9:13:07
  can't do them in the digital.
• 9:13:08
  Speaker 23: You can do the right.
• 9:13:09
  Speaker 1: Shoulder and their shoulder.
• 9:13:12
  Speaker 13: I just can't do both at the same time.
• 9:13:16
  Speaker 22: Just tell your shoulders as you focus on them in
• 9:13:19
  your mind, focus on them and.
• 9:13:22
  Speaker 14: You feel maybe you can see them in your mind's eye.
• 9:13:31
  Just tell your shoulders.
• 9:13:36
  Speaker 1: To relax as nice as they relax. But I do notice,
• 9:14:29
  I mean, especially with my bank, is the connection between
• 9:14:36
  the different parts the bank, the shoulders, the neck being
• 9:14:47
  all connected and being such a large part of your body,
• 9:14:55
  it's almost hard to separate them from each other. My
• 9:15:03
  luller back is starting to relax.
• 9:15:05
  Speaker 13: On the same.
• 9:15:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're going too slow and that could be an
• 9:15:17
  issue because we all go at different speeds. And the
• 9:15:24
  idea at the beginning of this recording was for you
• 9:15:28
  to be able to just say to yourself, relax without
• 9:15:43
  focusing on any particular part of your body. Because when
• 9:15:49
  you know that tenning your hands to relax, in your
• 9:15:59
  hands relax, you tell your eyelids and your eyes, the
• 9:16:08
  muscles around your eyes and your eyebrows to relax and
• 9:16:18
  they relax. Until the back of your neck to relax
• 9:16:36
  and it relaxes.
• 9:16:45
  Speaker 13: You tell your upper back.
• 9:16:53
  Speaker 1: To relax and did relaxes. Thetoria's shoulders to relax, and
• 9:17:27
  they relaxed. When you told your hands to relax, they relaxed,
• 9:17:55
  and they continued to relax. H And you told your eyelids,
• 9:18:09
  the muscles around your eyes, your eyebrows to relax, they relaxed.
• 9:18:20
  Speaker 13: They continue to relac And you told the back of
• 9:18:31
  your neck go give on the back of your neck.
• 9:18:38
  Speaker 1: And told you to relax. They relaxed.
• 9:18:47
  Speaker 13: And continued to relax.
• 9:18:58
  Speaker 1: And you told you a half back to relax, be
• 9:19:07
  relaxed and continued to relax. That's with your shoulders, told
• 9:19:24
  your shoulders to relax. In your shoulders relaxed and continued
• 9:19:38
  to relax.
• 9:19:44
  Speaker 13: And it's not just that, it's.
• 9:19:52
  Speaker 1: With the rest of your body has also been listening
• 9:19:58
  and their relaxation. It's been spreading. So from your eyes,
• 9:20:04
  the relaxation spread to your forehead, around your face.
• 9:20:11
  Speaker 13: Into your skin, into your jaw.
• 9:20:24
  Speaker 1: Into the front and sides of the neck, all the
• 9:20:28
  way down your chest and stuff. Relaxed hands and shoulders, met.
• 9:20:42
  Speaker 13: Up through your arms, resing the full arms, your out.
• 9:20:50
  Speaker 1: Arms, elbows or wrists, letting know.
• 9:21:05
  Speaker 13: The lower bag.
• 9:21:09
  Speaker 1: It's staticspline.
• 9:21:13
  Speaker 13: And just start to relax and take.
• 9:21:20
  Speaker 1: Comfort.
• 9:21:22
  Speaker 13: Spreading through your legs.
• 9:21:29
  Speaker 1: All the way down your.
• 9:21:31
  Speaker 13: Ankles, WAPs your feet, the side of your feet, and
• 9:21:43
  the bottoms of your feet relaxing into your.
• 9:21:53
  Speaker 1: Toes in tone, relaxing.
• 9:22:07
  Speaker 13: Place and its.
• 9:22:20
  Speaker 1: Your body relaxes, warmth. Your mind becomes slow, peaceful, to the.
• 9:22:45
  Speaker 13: Point where if he choose to all asleep, he can
• 9:23:00
  easily do that. Easy to do it because there's nothing
• 9:23:16
  go on in your mind.
• 9:23:21
  Speaker 1: To praise.
• 9:23:22
  Speaker 13: It's peaceful.
• 9:23:31
  Speaker 1: Important teams right with that connection between your body. Relacs
• 9:24:07
  in the word you say to yourself.
• 9:24:13
  Speaker 13: Relates means that you don't need to focus on just
• 9:24:25
  one part. You can just focus on your entire body,
• 9:24:39
  saying about a word relates and it's uh.
• 9:24:58
  Speaker 11: Th tell me there.
• 9:25:03
  Speaker 1: Sensations of comforts spreading throughout your body, the same calming
• 9:25:21
  and easing, every power to your body, feeding.
• 9:25:34
  Speaker 13: More writs.
• 9:25:53
  Speaker 11: All you need to do now is just.
• 9:25:58
  Speaker 13: Tell yourself.
• 9:26:14
  Speaker 1: Eight now, starting now, number twenty nineteen eighteen.
• 9:27:00
  Speaker 23: Six six.
• 9:27:37
  Speaker 21: Six four, you will.
• 9:29:14
  Speaker 11: Assassatatatatatatatatatata yes.
• 9:30:00
  Speaker 24: Attatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata attatatatatata.
• 9:37:38
  Speaker 1: What one.
• 9:40:33
  Speaker 13: Seven camps down from ten to one.
• 9:40:45
  Speaker 1: Ten nine, eight, seven, six five four.
• 9:41:03
  Speaker 21: Three two.
• 9:41:09
  Speaker 1: One, And maybe that was a bit too quick in
• 9:41:19
  order to relax. Maybe it's too fast for you to
• 9:41:25
  notice the calming of your body, maybe even a little
• 9:41:34
  bit of pressure there life And you'll count it down.
• 9:41:37
  Speaker 13: From ten to one.
• 9:41:38
  Speaker 1: Would you expect me to do? Man, expect me to
• 9:41:42
  stick all with flopy just because you're counting down.
• 9:41:51
  Speaker 13: And try it again, but this time I'll go this slower.
• 9:41:58
  Speaker 1: This time, you focus on the hold of your body before.
• 9:42:04
  Speaker 13: You gopus on your legs.
• 9:42:08
  Speaker 1: Just notice.
• 9:42:11
  Speaker 13: How your body does.
• 9:42:14
  Speaker 1: Start to feel more relaxed.
• 9:42:25
  Speaker 13: Every number that I count down.
• 9:42:31
  Speaker 1: Ten nine at eight, seven, six, one.
• 9:43:17
  Speaker 5: Four three.
• 9:44:00
  Speaker 1: What I just notice how how you feel generally, how
• 9:44:17
  your body feels. It's not necessarily even about.
• 9:44:28
  Speaker 13: Yeah, counting down from ten to one.
• 9:44:36
  Speaker 1: It's that space that you have, that space between being
• 9:44:53
  active physically or mentally.
• 9:44:58
  Speaker 13: It's just.
• 9:45:03
  Speaker 1: Sitting or lying down, just being there, not doing anything,
• 9:45:08
  not saying anything or indeed.
• 9:45:11
  Speaker 13: And to think about anything. So those the other things up.
• 9:45:16
  Speaker 1: The space, you know, a bit of a space, the gap.
• 9:45:27
  And the more I came down for tens of monns,
• 9:45:32
  the bigger that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness,
• 9:45:41
  of comfort and relaxation. It's a nice feeling, and it
• 9:45:57
  moves those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them.
• 9:46:08
  Speaker 6: A way.
• 9:46:15
  Speaker 1: Allows you.
• 9:46:19
  Speaker 6: To just.
• 9:46:22
  Speaker 13: Slow down.
• 9:46:27
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to count again from ten down to one,
• 9:46:30
  and notice that gap widening, the gap, and this it widens.
• 9:46:40
  It's almost like the stress and attention falls.
• 9:46:46
  Speaker 13: Into the gap gives you that distance, that space. Now
• 9:47:11
  ten nine, eight.
• 9:47:31
  Speaker 1: Seven six by fours.
• 9:48:12
