  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name's Jason Newland,
• 0:09
  and this is let me Bore you to sleep. It's
• 0:16
  also que Ay Friday. It is It's cur and a Friday, everybody.
• 0:30
  So it's Friday, the nineteenth of September two thousand and
• 0:36
  twenty five. It is three point fifty three pm. And
• 0:43
  please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.
• 0:49
  So before I get on with the questions, because there
• 0:52
  isn't many, nor many questions, very few questions today. There's
• 1:00
  been a few problems with Apple podcasts. Just I'm not
• 1:08
  laughing at I'm just it's ridiculous some of the stuff
• 1:11
  that's I kind of don't know why. So it all started,
• 1:17
  we didn't start, but and kindly let me know. Let
• 1:22
  me know. This is on two days ago, that the
• 1:26
  new recordings are not showing up on Apple Podcasts anymore.
• 1:31
  There's no reason why they're not showing up. I couldn't
• 1:34
  figure it out. So I refreshed them and did everything
• 1:38
  I could try and do. They still weren't giving me
• 1:43
  the latest recordings. And I really spent ages on it
• 1:51
  trying to figure out what's wrong, why it wasn't working.
• 1:54
  And all that stuff. In the end, I had to
• 2:00
  delete them or put them all into archive mode and
• 2:05
  then re redo it on Apple Podcasts. So each podcast
• 2:11
  I've got, which is how many podcasts, I've got one, two, three, four, five,
• 2:20
  six No one one two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,
• 2:41
  So I think there's twelve podcasts. I've not done all
• 2:43
  of them, but I've re not uploaded, but submitted, resubmitted
• 2:51
  the twelve podcasts onto Apple Podcasts, which is kind of
• 2:59
  like starting all over again, which is frustrating, and it
• 3:08
  significantly affected my stats. So I guess I'm not saying
• 3:17
  I've lost the listeners, but the listeners may not be
• 3:27
  aware of the problems I've had with the Apple podcasts,
• 3:35
  so a lot of people may just maybe thousands out
• 3:40
  there that just don't know that. I have not released
• 3:43
  any new recordings since the seventeenth, not the seventeenth, since
• 3:47
  the since I don't know whatever date it was, it
• 4:02
  was about a week ago. Now I have done it,
• 4:15
  redone it all whether or not it's going to work
• 4:19
  or not, because I've tested them. So it's just got
• 4:22
  a bit confused for me as well. So I've been
• 4:27
  working on it. So what I've done is I've gone
• 4:34
  back into it and uploaded a new version of each one.
• 4:41
  So according to this, so let me boy to Sleep
• 4:44
  is working fine now under the new one. And I
• 4:50
  also did, oh that's not available. Okay, all right, I'm
• 4:59
  gonna have to add something. So all the pages, all
• 5:03
  the all the podcasts are now up and running. They
• 5:08
  should be. What I've also done is just look, I
• 5:14
  think I've kind of not only if I confuse myself,
• 5:17
  but I think I've confused people with all the changes
• 5:19
  that I made recently. I know this is another change,
• 5:22
  but unfortunately I kind of had to do this because
• 5:26
  Apple podcast is my main source of listeners. I'm hoping
• 5:33
  that everyone kind of will find them. So what I've
• 5:38
  done is my main website, Jason Newland dot com is
• 5:45
  now up and running properly again as a podcast. So
• 5:54
  if you go on there, it's got a thousand episodes.
• 5:57
  So the latest thousand episodes are available. So there's eighty
• 6:02
  four pages, and there's a thousand one two, three, four, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
• 6:12
  Wonder how many in each one two, three four, And
• 6:17
  I said, this is a thousand anyway, One two three four, ten, eleven, twelve,
• 6:24
  twelve times by eighty four wherever that is? So ten
• 6:29
  times by eighties, eight hundred, isn't it? So? Yeah, like
• 6:32
  a thousand or whatever. I don't think it's going to
• 6:35
  go all the way back to every episode. So what
• 6:40
  I've done is I've made the Jason Newland dot com
• 6:44
  the podcast for my hypnosis, A Sleeping Deeply, which has
• 6:50
  every recording I do is on there, including all the
• 6:54
  different versions, you know, the without music, with music, five
• 6:59
  ten and all that stuff. So I'm not just trying
• 7:06
  to have a look to see how far back it
• 7:08
  goes some people in the gardens. So then he was
• 7:14
  barking a minute ago, but hopefully he won't be. In
• 7:17
  a minute, he'll calm down. I think he's I've closed
• 7:21
  the window, but there's not much more I can really
• 7:25
  do do. Yeah, So this, I think the thing is
• 7:34
  with this, how many episodes? On nine and seventy episodes?
• 7:43
  So I've got a thousand on my website. So what
• 7:48
  I'm going to do is I'm going to put a
• 7:49
  page where you can link to. In fact, you can
• 7:55
  go to the actual website. I think via here it
• 8:02
  should be able to subscribe Apple podcast, Apple podcast, so
• 8:13
  you can go to the Apple Now it's just all
• 8:15
  over the place. I don't know, but you should be
• 8:18
  able to see it on spreak as well, so I'll
• 8:21
  figure that out. I'll get it sorted. But at the moment,
• 8:28
  you can actually just listen to late's recordings on there.
• 8:32
  It's a podcast now like it was before. It's a
• 8:35
  little bit different to before, but it is a podcast.
• 8:38
  So you can just go to Jasonnewland dot com and
• 8:40
  you can listen to six versions of the last recording,
• 8:44
  or six versions of the one before that, and before
• 8:47
  that and before that, all the way back to second
• 8:52
  of April this year. A thousand recordings since the second
• 9:02
  of April, but that does include the six different versions,
• 9:06
  but still quite a lot. So yeah, it makes it
• 9:12
  a little bit easier. You can use it on your phone,
• 9:14
  you can use it on a laptop, whichever way you
• 9:15
  want to do it. And for example, I'll just play
• 9:21
  I won't play it, but it's there. I'll put it
• 9:25
  on mute, moot, and I'll click on it and it
• 9:33
  should pull up right. It also pulls up all the
• 9:37
  information about it as well, and there is a link hypnosis,
• 9:45
  a sleeping deeply. Okay, Well it's not given me a
• 9:50
  link to the speaker page. Well hopefully, Okay. The other
• 9:57
  thing is I've got rid of the let Me Boy,
• 9:59
  the sleep dot com website. I just figured, what do
• 10:03
  I need two websites for one's enough? And it seemed
• 10:08
  like a good idea at the time when I did it.
• 10:12
  But if anything, I think just annoyed people because I
• 10:16
  got rid of the Jasonnuland dot com, which has been
• 10:19
  around for twenty years. And at least you knew how
• 10:26
  to find me. You know, if if all the apps
• 10:31
  go down or all the the podcast you know, sharing
• 10:36
  platforms go down, you can at least listen to me
• 10:40
  on my website. So it's it's handy. Does it allows
• 10:50
  open on Spotify? Is it open on Spotify? Okay? So
• 10:57
  it's not completely syncd up, but it's it's okay. I
• 11:04
  think it's doing its job, and I'll try and make
• 11:08
  a few changes along the way to update it make
• 11:14
  it a little bit better. But that's it, really, And
• 11:19
  what else? Why is it going so slow? Yeah? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,
• 11:31
  twelve podcasts. There's like one hundred and one shows on
• 11:42
  my Apple podcast archived from over the last i'll BlimE me,
• 11:48
  however many years. So yeah, it's the first time I've
• 11:52
  archived before deleted stuff, but this was because it needs
• 11:57
  to be done. I think basically Apple podcasts got confused.
• 12:05
  I'm using a confused word a lot. I think maybe
• 12:07
  I'm just the only one that got confused. It don't
• 12:10
  take much much for the end. So I should also
• 12:14
  say welcome to Karen who's joined Jason Newland's boring group
• 12:21
  on Facebook, and if you'd like to join then please do.
• 12:25
  That'd be brilliant. We love to have you, and that
• 12:31
  I do believes all that information. It's you know, it
• 12:37
  might be a little bit annoying. I do apologize, but
• 12:42
  you know, it is what it is. It's all done now.
• 12:48
  I just need to do a little bit of sinking
• 12:50
  up and hopefully, hopefully fingers crossed when I upload this
• 12:58
  it will update on the Apple Podcasts. If it doesn't,
• 13:05
  I don't know what I'm gonna do. It's just gonna
• 13:08
  I just just hope it does. Yeah. So other than that,
• 13:16
  things have been a bit weird the last couple of days,
• 13:20
  but I won't go into that. It's just you know
• 13:23
  a few strange things around here. So I'm going to
• 13:28
  start off with Ben and just apologize for the noisy
• 13:34
  people outside. In fact, what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna
• 13:39
  draw the curtains. See if i can block some of
• 13:41
  that noise out. There's still a little window opens. I
• 13:46
  closed that, and I've drawn the curtains over. I've got
• 13:51
  these sound deadening curtains. I hope that they're gonna I
• 13:58
  don't say you make any difference. At least I'm giving
• 14:05
  it a I'm giving it a try, and I'm putting
• 14:07
  some effort in. So Ben asks me, what is Jason's downtime?
• 14:18
  As he's always walking the dog by making recordings? What's
• 14:21
  Jason do for himself apart from boxing? As he like
• 14:26
  it's weird? Talk about it my third person. What's my downtime?
• 14:33
  My downtime right now is wanting that noise to stop outside.
• 14:39
  That's my main focus. Screech, squeaky's out there. So it's
• 14:48
  very very very noisy. Okay, my downtime I do I
• 14:58
  like to I would say boxing my downtime. But so
• 15:04
  I'm taking Vinnie out usually three times a day. Sometimes
• 15:10
  if I make a lot of recordings. I'll be you know,
• 15:13
  there'll be days when I'll just make three recordings in
• 15:17
  a day, which is a lot. Not recently, but I
• 15:21
  have done that quite a few times. And what do
• 15:26
  I do. I like to watch a movie, especially if
• 15:32
  it's one that I've been looking forward to watching, like
• 15:35
  a new release or a new season of a TV
• 15:40
  show that's come out. Sometimes if I get my teeth
• 15:51
  into a TV show, I will watch. I'm not saying
• 15:56
  i'd binge watch, but I will definitely watch a of episodes.
• 16:01
  And if I can get into it and the whole
• 16:07
  seasons done and finished, I'll get through the entire lot
• 16:12
  within you know, maybe a month. So I might end
• 16:16
  up watching two, three, four episodes a day, but I
• 16:21
  won't sit all day watching it. I'm not going to
• 16:23
  do like eight hours straight watching TV. Generally I have
• 16:30
  done in the past, but not not for a long time. Second, Also,
• 16:37
  are you happy? That's a difficult question to ask. I've
• 16:44
  got no idea how to answer that question. Third, have
• 16:48
  you ever collected anything?
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I have I have. Let's go for all the things
• 16:57
  I've collected when I was a kid. When I was
• 17:09
  a kid, I used to collect, so I used to
• 17:12
  get the two different comics every week, The Dandy and Looking,
• 17:17
  and I used to collect them. So although i'd get
• 17:19
  them every week, i'd also collect them, and sometimes i'd
• 17:23
  get them put them all in order, sit in the
• 17:25
  toilet or sit on the toilet. I remember once my
• 17:32
  oldest brother was watching I Think the fa Cup on
• 17:35
  a Saturday afternoon and I went into the downstairs toilet
• 17:42
  and organized all of my comics in order, like by date.
• 17:51
  I quite enjoyed that, and I did the same thing
• 17:56
  when I moved to London. I time Out magazine every week.
• 18:05
  Was it a Thursday or was it a Tuesday? But
• 18:09
  I'd buy it every week and I had about three
• 18:14
  years worth collected, big massive old pile. That's what one
• 18:18
  hundred and fifty magazines. So yeah, I collected them for
• 18:23
  a few years. I when I was at school, I
• 18:29
  used to collect books. I don't think it was oh yeah,
• 18:35
  I used to, I suppose, because you know, finances were
• 18:38
  limited with school. I didn't like have a huge amount
• 18:44
  of books, but I did have a bookshelf for of
• 18:51
  paperbacks and also had hard back books and stuff as well.
• 18:56
  And I used to collect sign fiction books for a
• 19:02
  while because I want. There's a lot of rude bits
• 19:04
  in them. It's the truth, you know. They have lots
• 19:10
  of adult scenes in these books. And yeah, I enjoyed that.
• 19:21
  I collected the Wilt books as well because I found
• 19:24
  them hilarious. So Wilt is if you've never heard of Wilt,
• 19:31
  w I l t. There's a writer they wrote, wrote
• 19:37
  quite a few books based on this character. It's just funny.
• 19:44
  It's really funny. What other things I used to collect
• 19:52
  a lot of books. I went through a period when
• 19:55
  I collected and read Trek books like I was almost
• 20:05
  obsessed with them. And these were adventures from Star Trek
• 20:09
  like the original TV show, but not a TV show
• 20:14
  that makes sense. There was like extra stories, extra adventures
• 20:18
  which maybe is it came before Star Trek TV show,
• 20:23
  did I don't know, Gene Roddenberry or whatever, But there
• 20:29
  was loads of those. I used to read a lot
• 20:31
  of those, especially when I was feeling anti social at
• 20:38
  school and I didn't I go through periods when I
• 20:42
  didn't want to be around anyone. I'd be near anyone,
• 20:44
  so I would hide and read a book during lunch break.
• 20:49
  So that was a thing I remember. I remember sitting
• 20:53
  outside it was behind the because we all had these
• 20:57
  form rooms where we'd have to sort of congregate the
• 21:01
  beginning and at the beginning of the day and also
• 21:07
  after lunch and maybe even like at the end of
• 21:11
  the day. I can't remember, but one year I was
• 21:15
  there and it was I think it was the science lab.
• 21:22
  It's one of the science labs I was in, and
• 21:25
  so it had an exit out the back as well
• 21:28
  as in the front. I guess the fire exit was
• 21:31
  stairs and everything. So I used to sit outside the back,
• 21:37
  like the fire exit door and going that way, going
• 21:41
  in out that way, because that wasn't the the exit
• 21:46
  that most people used, So I'd hide and just sit
• 21:50
  on like near the stairwell. So I just remember that
• 21:54
  reading reading the old Star Trek books other things. I
• 22:04
  went through a period when I was when I got
• 22:07
  into karate. Well, yeah, martial arts. I collected magazines. I
• 22:16
  can't even remember the name of the magazines, but martial
• 22:18
  arts magazines, martial arts books, kung fu books, exercise books,
• 22:26
  books about Bruce Lee, various martial arts paraphernalia like nunchucks
• 22:34
  and throwing stars and all the standard stuff that kids
• 22:38
  would kind of perhaps get back then. Yeah, that's definitely
• 22:46
  something I used to used to collect. Trying to think
• 22:55
  I used to I went through a period when I
• 22:57
  was really into Yeah, I'm just trying to think when
• 23:03
  I was a kid, what other things I do? Oh,
• 23:04
  I remember when I worked in the bakery when I
• 23:10
  was a kid. The first bakery I worked in, I
• 23:14
  worked all through the summer, so I was doing five
• 23:18
  or six mornings a week. I mean I could have done,
• 23:24
  you know, seven, but I think I probably did five
• 23:26
  or six and every because I only worked t all,
• 23:31
  like lunchtime from six till twelve or something. I'd come
• 23:38
  home and I'd go and buy these top Trump cards
• 23:43
  that cost a pound or something, and I'd buy them
• 23:49
  like I had to buy something. And I ended up
• 23:53
  clickeding these and I got loads of them, but I
• 23:58
  had no one to play them with. So it's top
• 24:01
  Trump cars and top trunk motor bikes and top Trump
• 24:08
  planes and stuff like that. It was kind of pointless, really,
• 24:13
  but that's what I did. That's what I did. What
• 24:21
  would have been useful if I had collected clothes, like
• 24:24
  nice clothes so that I could looked, could have been
• 24:28
  like fashionable, that would have helped me in so many ways.
• 24:31
  That I had no idea, Like if only i'd kind
• 24:35
  of had a clue back then, because I could have
• 24:39
  bought myself, you know, a pair of trousers, nice pair
• 24:43
  of shoes, your fashionable stuff on me, not like for
• 24:47
  school as well, but something that would look good, even
• 24:55
  like a white shirt. You know, there's a white shirt
• 24:58
  which for school, but then you've got you can get
• 25:00
  a really nice white shirt, you know, proper. You know
• 25:05
  this difference in clothes. I don't know why I'm trying
• 25:08
  to explain that, but there was nothing wrong with the
• 25:11
  clothes I was wearing. I just could have put a
• 25:17
  bit of effort in myself because I could. At the time,
• 25:20
  I had a little bit of money coming in from
• 25:22
  the jobs, so that that would have been possibly a
• 25:26
  better way to spend my money. Oh well, it matter then.
• 25:35
  I when I got to my tea, like leaving school,
• 25:45
  I did, I mean, I collected I had like quite
• 25:49
  a good tape collection of music albums and stuff. So
• 25:53
  I had probably a couple of carrier bag falls, maybe
• 26:00
  three carry bag falls of tapes, so there's quite a few.
• 26:05
  But some of those were carried on from when I
• 26:08
  was a kid as well, so I'd had a lot
• 26:10
  of those. But then when I got to probably nineteen
• 26:16
  eighty nine, I started collecting comedy videos, like stand up
• 26:29
  comedy videos. In nineteen eighty nine, during in fact, it
• 26:34
  might might have been nineteen eighty eight, it might have been,
• 26:40
  but I started collecting live stand up comedy shows, live
• 26:44
  videos like Robin William, Steve Martin, There's so many Emo Phillips,
• 27:01
  Steve Wright or Steven Wright, Eddie Murphy, as well as
• 27:10
  like Burning Manning Roy, Chubby Brown, you know, Jasper Carrot.
• 27:24
  So any comedy, live comedy show I could get, I
• 27:29
  did any stand up show I would get. So I
• 27:33
  had quite a nice collection of those. It wasn't so
• 27:37
  much that I was collecting them. I just I suppose
• 27:41
  I was collecting them, but it didn't Maybe yeah, I
• 27:47
  was collecting them without realizing, not really thinking about it.
• 27:51
  I just wanted to watch them. And then I was
• 27:58
  still collecting Yeah, live stand up albums in nineteen eighty
• 28:07
  nine and more videos, but that's when it turned into
• 28:10
  a collection. So nineteen eighty nine I was buying albums
• 28:16
  and audio tapes of stand up comedians at this point,
• 28:21
  mainly from American stand ups that I'd never heard of.
• 28:25
  I've already had stuff from Richard Pryor. So this is
• 28:30
  nineteen ninety So I was getting stuff from and I
• 28:38
  was going to second nd shops as well as traveling
• 28:41
  up to London to get to like the big stores,
• 28:47
  the big music stores like Verge, HMV and what's that
• 28:54
  other one, the other record shop, I think what it's called.
• 29:02
  But there was three main record shops in the West
• 29:06
  End of London which had its own stand up comedy section,
• 29:12
  specifically not just for American but a lot of American stuff.
• 29:18
  So I kind of discovered Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Andrew
• 29:22
  dyas Clay, Sam Kinnerson. Then it was Roddy Dangerfield that
• 29:27
  I already knew about anyway, because he was already famous
• 29:31
  in this country for a long time. Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor.
• 29:39
  I think I already had Richard Pryce's videos and Bill Cosby.
• 29:45
  I had Bill's Cosby's the one way he turns fifty
• 29:49
  and so he's just sitting on a stool, and I
• 29:53
  didn't realize that he had loads of albums and stuff.
• 29:58
  So this is Bill Cosby. Yeah, so I had quite
• 30:01
  a few albums of his. I had all of Richard
• 30:05
  Pryor's albums, all of Richard Pryor's live performances, including one
• 30:13
  that's quite quite rare. I don't know that anymore, but
• 30:20
  it's probably on YouTube anyway. And what else. Yeah, I
• 30:28
  had really good collection, really nice collection, and I spent
• 30:35
  quite a few months just pretty much all my money
• 30:38
  went on that when I was working, and just all
• 30:41
  my money went on getting new albums because I wanted to.
• 30:45
  I decided to sort of try and be a comedian,
• 30:48
  stand up comedian, and this was kind of this is
• 30:56
  part of that compulse of thing, and this is this
• 31:01
  is part of the whole excitement of wanting to do it.
• 31:06
  And I suppose thinking if I listened to other people,
• 31:11
  like the best comedians in the world, well some of
• 31:15
  the best in the world, it would rub off on me.
• 31:19
  But it didn't. It really didn't. But hey, it was
• 31:24
  worth a try, wasn't it. After that, when I moved
• 31:33
  so I sold all of that stuff. But then I
• 31:36
  moved to London and I got I started collecting comedy
• 31:43
  tapes like Richard Pryor, George Carlin. George Carlin was kind
• 31:51
  of my favorite really for a while. It just made
• 31:54
  me laugh so much, but I didn't collect collect I
• 32:02
  just had some. But then when I moved to London,
• 32:06
  I really started collecting books again. I also at this
• 32:12
  time was collecting journals that I was writing, So I
• 32:16
  was writing journals every day and over like a twenty
• 32:21
  five year period, I had about forty five fifty journals,
• 32:26
  like pads full of me, my writings and my life
• 32:31
  and my thoughts and stuff. That's all destroyed a few
• 32:35
  years back, and I think I got really more into
• 32:41
  buying books, collecting books, but reading them. Yeah, so anything,
• 32:47
  not just comedy books. But I really got into the
• 32:54
  Beach Generation. I also used to read Time Out and
• 32:58
  find out what the latest popular book was, and I'd
• 33:00
  ended up reading that as well, So I you know,
• 33:03
  I had quite a large book collection. They all just
• 33:08
  stacked up on top of each other against the wall.
• 33:13
  Had a lot of books and probably about twenty bin
• 33:19
  Bag Falls and the Beach Generation. That's when I kind
• 33:26
  of really got quite transfixed with poetry. With Anne Ginsburg.
• 33:39
  I can't remember half of them, but a lot of
• 33:44
  Jack Carouac, all those kinds of that generation. I was
• 33:49
  reading their books. I can't, I can't, honestly, said I
• 33:53
  understood a lot of it either, And I also used
• 34:00
  to read the poetry, some of them. Snyder was another one.
• 34:06
  Some of the poetry I liked. Some of it was
• 34:11
  a lot of it was context based, as most of
• 34:16
  it seemed to be coming out of America in the
• 34:19
  fifties and sixties, and I wasn't around then. I wasn't American.
• 34:25
  I wasn't living in America in the fifties and sixties.
• 34:29
  And I'm pretty certain even if I was in this country,
• 34:33
  it was a different environment. You know, we were, It's
• 34:39
  just it would have been different. So I'm never really
• 34:43
  gonna understand the vibe, not really, but I enjoyed reading them.
• 34:51
  And then I discovered, kind of by accident, Charles Berkowski,
• 35:00
  who was his books would be put into the same
• 35:04
  category as beat generation, and he wasn't a beatnik. He
• 35:11
  wasn't each He's kind of like a crossover. He probably
• 35:18
  knew some of them, and he lived like some of them,
• 35:22
  but he wasn't he. For anyone that's read Charles Werkowski,
• 35:28
  it's very real, almost too real, I suppose, some would say.
• 35:35
  And that's why I liked about it. I like, yeah,
• 35:40
  I quite quite like gritty real stuff, not as in
• 35:46
  horrible stuff, but just I don't know someone's personal opinion.
• 35:51
  And because he talks from a third person, so he
• 35:57
  talks about himself, but he's not himself. It's Hank Chenesky
• 36:05
  is the character in his books, but it's basically him.
• 36:12
  And he also wrote because he wrote a really famous
• 36:15
  book called post Office Women, and oh, I forget the
• 36:20
  other one, but there was a trilogy, and he also
• 36:23
  wrote ham On Rye and some other ones, bar Fly
• 36:29
  and things like that. I quite liked the poetry that
• 36:35
  he did. And yeah, so I had a large collection
• 36:44
  of his books because it was quite prolific. So I
• 36:47
  had a lot of his books and don't have them anymore.
• 36:53
  So that was me collecting early nineties comedy tapes and
• 37:00
  then books I would say really focused on the Beat generation,
• 37:07
  but I also had at that time, I started collecting
• 37:13
  Buddhist books and Zen Dooism and I started reading that stuff.
• 37:23
  So I got into that because that fitted in with
• 37:26
  the Beat generation and the the and I just all
• 37:32
  kind of fitted together with me, and it's something I
• 37:34
  was interested in anyway. I quite like it if I
• 37:39
  can find something that has an overlap to something else.
• 37:43
  And then when I left there, I did take my
• 37:50
  stuff with me and I ended up in moved once twice.
• 37:58
  And then I collected more books on Buddhism, so that
• 38:01
  was the main thing I've focused on around ninety five,
• 38:07
  Like ninety four to ninety five, it was mainly just
• 38:11
  Buddhist books that I collected sid I mean, I wasn't
• 38:19
  buying loads of loads of books, but I had a
• 38:21
  really good collection and I would read them as well.
• 38:28
  And then in the end of ninety five I was
• 38:33
  evicted and I basically just chucked everything out because I
• 38:39
  couldn't take it with me. Then I I'm not sure
• 38:52
  chucked it. I think I left it outside and dustman
• 38:55
  took it. They weren't supposed to do. It just happened
• 38:58
  to be in black bags, as was how I traveled,
• 39:00
  because I didn't know where I was going to take them,
• 39:03
  and I was I think, I'm going to try and
• 39:05
  take into my girlfriends and ask if she'd look after
• 39:07
  them for me. Anyway, the dustman came and got them
• 39:13
  and pretty much took most of my belongings, thinking it
• 39:17
  was just all rubbish. So technically I didn't really chuck
• 39:20
  it out. What else I in ninety six, nineteen ninety six,
• 39:34
  I was kind of starting from scratch again, so I
• 39:37
  had the only thing I really had was as far
• 39:44
  as belongings go, one book or two books and that
• 39:50
  was it, and a few clothes. So I started from
• 39:54
  scratch in January ninety six. And by the like's Vinny
• 40:00
  scraping his teeth on a something. Not quite sure, but
• 40:05
  it seems happy anyway. It's not eating his dinner today
• 40:08
  for some reason, and I, well, I do I'm trying
• 40:24
  to think what I was going to say. Then he
• 40:26
  just stopped, Okay. I I carried on with my writing
• 40:32
  because I managed to save the journals, so that was fine.
• 40:37
  So I still had all my journals. And then I
• 40:47
  didn't buy a lot of books or anything back then,
• 40:51
  I think because i'd lost all my book collection kind
• 40:54
  of a few times over already at this point, I
• 40:57
  just didn't know if there's any point. So between ninety
• 41:03
  six and then ninety seven, I didn't really purchase much.
• 41:15
  I didn't collect anything really at all during that period.
• 41:22
  And I was a security guard for over a year,
• 41:31
  and I had a girlfriend as well, so that kind
• 41:34
  of took up time outside of security work, and that
• 41:39
  was a long hours, so I didn't Apart from reading
• 41:43
  books and stuff, I just didn't really have a lot
• 41:46
  going on watching TV when I got home. And then
• 41:53
  late nineteen ninety seven, I started acting books again, but
• 42:01
  this time is all about self help, motivation and self help,
• 42:08
  and I blimey, he's so noisy. I do still prefer
• 42:22
  him over this squealing and screaming outside in the garden.
• 42:27
  I don't know, it's just I kind of just want
• 42:31
  to hear what's inside. I know it's not realistic, but
• 42:35
  just just a little bit quiet, a little bit of
• 42:39
  a little bit calm, you know, what else should I
• 42:45
  I suppose? Like ninety seven, it was really much. I
• 42:47
  was collecting audio recordings self help, audio recordings, motivation, zig ziglar,
• 43:00
  meditation recordings for relaxing, and I was really trying to
• 43:08
  figure a way for me to, I don't know, grow
• 43:15
  as a person and become better and become calmer and
• 43:23
  to heal. I don't know, I'm not quite sure what
• 43:25
  it was I was looking for, but I collected lots
• 43:29
  of books. I read lots of books, and then early
• 43:37
  nineteen ninety eight, it's January, I bought my first two
• 43:42
  books on hypnosis. I didn't read them straight away. I
• 43:49
  kind of looked at them and thought I'll read them
• 43:51
  one day, and then I did, and I thought, oh,
• 44:00
  I did an NLP course at college, did like a
• 44:05
  part time evening course at City University in London. And
• 44:12
  that's when my interest was peaked more so in that
• 44:18
  side of things because it involved hypnosis. It also for
• 44:23
  me kind of involved therapy and you know, all the
• 44:27
  things that I was kind of interested in. So I
• 44:32
  started buying loads of NLP books, all the ones I
• 44:37
  could get, and hypnosis books blying me if anny, So yeah,
• 44:45
  I started collecting all that stuff. And then really for
• 44:52
  the next few years I built my hypnosis collection up.
• 45:02
  But then in two thousand, I'm not saying I lost
• 45:09
  interest in hypnosis, but I did. It's true, I kind of,
• 45:19
  for some reason, I became obsessed with building websites. And
• 45:27
  I spent the next year and a half obsessively pretty
• 45:35
  much all day every day working on websites, learning how
• 45:41
  to build them, how to learning the code and HTML
• 45:45
  and all that stuff. And that was what I did,
• 45:48
  and I loved it, loved every second of it. And
• 45:54
  that's what I did. For yeah, for the pretty much
• 46:00
  much until summertime two thousand and one, like maybe May time.
• 46:12
  But then I was made I was evicted, so I
• 46:17
  moved out and I didn't. Everything was kind of up
• 46:26
  in the air. So I still had my belongings, still
• 46:30
  had my books, but I didn't. I was kind of
• 46:37
  a bit aimless, to be honest, I had this. I
• 46:39
  was forced into a sales job by the job center.
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: And.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: It was although I was quite good, it was difficult,
• 46:50
  very difficult to do that, and I stopped reading, I
• 46:57
  stopped doing it any website building, I stopped being interested
• 47:03
  in anything during that period. And then September I moved
• 47:10
  to where my name was because she was ill, so
• 47:13
  I wanted to be closer to my men, and I
• 47:17
  had a new job again in insurance. But it's selling,
• 47:23
  which is not really It was kind of the wrong
• 47:25
  for me, figuring for me to get involved in really,
• 47:28
  but at the time I didn't know what was going
• 47:31
  to happen. I didn't, you know, I wasn't really prepared
• 47:34
  for the outcome of putting myself in that kind of
• 47:38
  stressful environment long term. And during that period it wasn't
• 47:51
  so bad because I really got I no longer got
• 47:53
  involved but I completely stopped doing any kind of website
• 47:58
  stuff during two thousand and like the end of two
• 48:03
  thousand and one, two thousand and two, and I would
• 48:10
  say even most of two thousand and three. Then two
• 48:16
  thousand and four I picked it up. I picked it
• 48:18
  up again, maybe two thousand and three I picked it
• 48:21
  up again. But I didn't do anything for a couple
• 48:24
  of years website wise. But I did collect hypnosis books
• 48:33
  like a lot. I had a huge library of hypnosis books,
• 48:40
  plus psychology books, counseling books. And this was a long time,
• 48:48
  like six years, five six years before I even started
• 48:52
  thinking about becoming a counselor. I was just interested in therapy,
• 48:58
  interested in how to helping others, but I guess also
• 49:06
  figuring a way to help myself maybe, So that's kind
• 49:12
  of where I was there. And I'd a big, big
• 49:16
  book collection, and that book collection continued right the way
• 49:25
  until two thousand and seven November, and I had all
• 49:31
  these bookcases in this place I lived. Even I found
• 49:37
  it quite impressive the amount of books I had, because
• 49:40
  it was very looked, very professional, the setup I had,
• 49:46
  and I was doing videos with these bookcases and all
• 49:49
  these books behind me on psychology and hypnosis and psychotherapy
• 49:55
  and all this stuff behind me is like, yeah, I
• 49:59
  wonder how many people full as if I know something
• 50:02
  of Oh, and then I moved. I also I had videos,
• 50:12
  I had audios, I had CDs DVDs of hypnosis stuff
• 50:16
  courses as well as having done courses like live in
• 50:22
  person as well. So I moved into a tiny room
• 50:28
  when I was at college, and I had to get
• 50:36
  rid of some of the books because it was too
• 50:38
  many too. It was literally I had all these these
• 50:41
  big containers full of books that was taken up half
• 50:46
  the room. I wasn't going to get rid of the
• 50:49
  hypnosis books. I couldn't be getting rid of the therapy
• 50:55
  books because I was studying counsel in the therapy. So
• 50:59
  why ended up doing is getting rid of all of
• 51:04
  the I also used to collect. I had quite quite
• 51:09
  a large collection of Buddhist books as well, probably about
• 51:15
  fifty or sixty Buddhist books, maybe one hundred, there's quite
• 51:19
  a lot. Anyway, I donated them to the Buddhist Center,
• 51:25
  and then I gave away all of my philosophy books,
• 51:32
  which again I had a big collection of like philosophy
• 51:36
  and not just philosophy but things that kind of minded,
• 51:40
  you know. So I got rid of all of those,
• 51:45
  gave them to a second hand shop, and then that
• 51:52
  kind of I kind of halfed not I don't say
• 51:56
  half my book collection, but there was also all the
• 52:00
  other stuff like about creativity and really anything that wasn't
• 52:08
  to do with hypnosis or therapy I got rid of,
• 52:14
  which cut down my book collection by probably behalf, maybe
• 52:21
  a quarter, maybe I knocked a quarter off of it.
• 52:29
  And then I moved again. Then I moved again, and
• 52:38
  that was the place before I moved in here, and
• 52:40
  that was even smaller, well probably not smaller, but it
• 52:44
  was damp. My books were starting to rot. I don't know,
• 52:49
  it's not good. And I had a bit of a thing,
• 52:55
  a bit of an episode, and I actually destroyed it,
• 52:57
  all of my books apart from one, which was The
• 53:03
  Teachings of the Buddha, which I've had for probably since
• 53:08
  about nineteen ninety two, so I've had that book for
• 53:13
  quite a while. That's the only surviving book. So yeah,
• 53:20
  that was kind of That was probably the biggest collection
• 53:23
  I had was probably hypnosis books, but I also had
• 53:27
  a pretty healthy Buddhist collection as well. There wasn't even
• 53:36
  enough room on the shelves in a Buddhist center to
• 53:38
  put them on because there was so many. So other
• 53:43
  than that, trying to think of any other things that
• 53:45
  I've collected recently over the last few years, the last
• 53:55
  ten years, I can't think of anything. So that's kind
• 54:02
  of really it. Books seems to be the main thing.
• 54:08
  Number Four, How is your dad? So my dad he's
• 54:11
  doing all right. I saw him last weekend. He came
• 54:16
  up to see me and with my little brother, so
• 54:19
  he had lunch around the corner and he's, you know,
• 54:26
  he's he had some treatment and stuff for a condition.
• 54:31
  He's getting his energy back, and he seems to be
• 54:36
  doing well. It seems to be positive and seems to
• 54:39
  be doing good. And I think he enjoyed sort of
• 54:42
  spending time with two of his sons together at the
• 54:45
  same time out which is only kind of that hasn't happened,
• 54:54
  doesn't happen too often, although it did happen just before Christmas,
• 54:58
  But that was the first time dead outside of the
• 55:04
  town that he lives as the first that's the city's
• 55:07
  the second time pretty much in decades that we've all
• 55:13
  kind of got together. So that was nice. But yeah,
• 55:19
  it seems to be doing good. Maria asks, with your
• 55:26
  previous interest in martial arts, have you ever practiced tai
• 55:31
  chi or chigung? Also, what are your thoughts on meditation? Yes,
• 55:37
  and yes, I did a bit of tai chi and chigung.
• 55:46
  I think that chigung. I think they were both probably
• 55:49
  connected to the Buddhist center. So what we'd have is
• 55:55
  there'd be a like a practitioner would come along and
• 55:58
  do a course, maybe a six week course on ti
• 56:01
  chie or a regular Tuesday night on ti chi or
• 56:05
  chickgung and stuff. So I did a little bit of
• 56:09
  tai chie, but the one I really liked was chiegung
• 56:13
  because but I did it minimally. I don't mean I
• 56:20
  changed the way I did it, but I mean I
• 56:22
  didn't do much of it. But I did appreciate the
• 56:28
  slow movements, the micro movements, the real like the idea
• 56:33
  of like holding a ball and passing that energy ball
• 56:39
  to another person and just that slow movement. I mean,
• 56:44
  I'm doing it now. You can't see me do it,
• 56:46
  but it feels nice. And because I'm quite a slow
• 56:54
  person anyway, moving slowly is my default really, and which
• 57:04
  brings me to your meditation is I think meditation is great.
• 57:10
  I kind of meditate every day using walking meditation. So
• 57:18
  I want to take Vinnie out. I walk very slowly,
• 57:24
  and what I do is I focus on my feet
• 57:27
  on the ground, how my feet feel, how my body
• 57:31
  feels as I walk. And it's also part of like
• 57:37
  paying control because I've got arthrights in my lower back
• 57:40
  and it plays up, you know, whenever I move. Basically
• 57:44
  it's hurting now, but I say hurting, but it's I
• 57:47
  can feel it now and when I walk and when
• 57:50
  I sit down for too long, so when I walk,
• 57:53
  I can feel it. So sometimes by focusing on all
• 57:59
  of my body movement, it eases that. It kind of
• 58:06
  reminds me that I've got a whole body that has feeling,
• 58:11
  not just that one part. And included in that meditation
• 58:20
  as well as being aware of Vinnie, because I have
• 58:23
  to be aware of what he's up to, and I
• 58:25
  need to also be aware of my surroundings. But I'd
• 58:28
  say that's part of the meditation, and that's my natural
• 58:32
  state is to be perhaps too aware of my surroundings
• 58:36
  to be honest. But the way you know, the weather,
• 58:40
  the wind, the air, the feeling the wind on my face,
• 58:47
  the feeling of breathing and my lungs, the temperature on
• 58:52
  my hands, on my face, this the sun may be shining,
• 58:58
  and the just little things that the sounds of the
• 59:01
  birds or the wind or the traffic, just little things
• 59:06
  or dogs in the background, all that stuff. In fact,
• 59:12
  even like next door, like you know, with all of
• 59:15
  the kids and the dogs barking over there. That's fine.
• 59:20
  When I'm meditating, I don't need quiet. I just incorporate
• 59:24
  it into the meditation and just be one with it.
• 59:31
  I should try and do that when I do a recording. Really,
• 59:33
  shouldn't I be one? Be one, my son. I don't
• 59:41
  do so much traditional meditation anymore, although I'm kind of
• 59:48
  I did meditate the other day. I could perhaps do
• 59:51
  with it, but I do. I like to walk in
• 59:55
  meditation because I do it every time, unless I'm talking
• 59:59
  to someone. Then I'm not. If I'm on my own
• 1:00:02
  with him and we just walk in slowly. I mean,
• 1:00:08
  it's probably not the most deep meditation practice, but there
• 1:00:16
  is a meditation practice there. There is an intention to
• 1:00:25
  slow things down, to allow things to slow down, so
• 1:00:30
  I'm not trying to force my breathing to become deeper
• 1:00:36
  and slower, but allow my body, my mind, you know,
• 1:00:42
  allowed for that to happen. And I don't try and
• 1:00:46
  cause my mind to slow down and for the thoughts
• 1:00:49
  to maybe vanish or just disappey or slow. But I'm
• 1:00:56
  open to that happening. See, Yeah, it's quite nice. I
• 1:01:05
  do that every day if I can. You know, sometimes
• 1:01:15
  I can't, but I'll be honest, sometimes I'm not in
• 1:01:17
  the right frame of mind. But if I can, I will.
• 1:01:22
  It's better when there's no one else around, because I
• 1:01:26
  do especially if I if I can walk really slow,
• 1:01:30
  like super slow, if there's no one around, it doesn't
• 1:01:34
  look quite so weird. But when there's people around, I
• 1:01:40
  walk at a very very slow pace anyway. But there's
• 1:01:45
  an even slower pace with meditation, with meditative walking, and
• 1:01:51
  it can be and it can be literally almost micro movements.
• 1:01:59
  I don't really do that when I'm out, but I
• 1:02:07
  do focus on my feet when I'm walking, I focus
• 1:02:14
  on my balance, I focus on my back, not just
• 1:02:20
  my lower back, but also my upper back, my shoulders,
• 1:02:23
  my posture, my neck, just noticing how I feel. And
• 1:02:37
  that's my connection with chigung and meditation could like the
• 1:02:41
  moving walking, meditation you could say is chickung. You could
• 1:02:47
  say it is tai chi. Oh No, I'm not an
• 1:02:53
  expert on any of this stuff. I do know more
• 1:02:55
  about meditation than I know about tai chi or chickung.
• 1:03:01
  I think it's all really really good stuff. And in
• 1:03:06
  some ways, I think tai chi and chigung because it's movement,
• 1:03:14
  it's got an extra dimension added to it. I'm never
• 1:03:22
  going to be able to. I say, I'm never going
• 1:03:24
  to because I tried for years to do this and
• 1:03:26
  it didn't work. So sitting on a cushion isn't something
• 1:03:32
  I can do on the floor on a cushion. No,
• 1:03:36
  I tried it from I think I did it all
• 1:03:39
  the way from November two thousand and two to two
• 1:03:48
  thousand and four, maybe even two thousand and five. Seriously,
• 1:03:54
  I tried for years to sit on a cushion. I
• 1:03:59
  did sit on a for years and then have to
• 1:04:02
  get up and sit on a chair. And I was
• 1:04:05
  just in pain that whole time. And eventually, I mean
• 1:04:10
  that they tried every which way. At one point, at
• 1:04:12
  about seventeen cushions, I had scaffold in holding me up,
• 1:04:17
  but it's still didn't work. I had a lastic band
• 1:04:23
  tied to my ed so I didn't fall off. I
• 1:04:27
  don't know, but yeah, I like the idea of movement.
• 1:04:40
  A little bit of movement is nice. Doesn't have to
• 1:04:44
  be the whole body. I mean, tie cheek can be
• 1:04:46
  used by anyone who can has access to movement of
• 1:04:56
  some of their limbs. So if someone was in a wheelchair,
• 1:05:00
  still be able to do it with their hands or
• 1:05:04
  you know, there's going to be limitations, I suppose if
• 1:05:06
  someone's unable to move their body. But I'm guessing meditation
• 1:05:14
  would be fine in that situation. But I imagine, you know,
• 1:05:18
  imagining doing the movements would be calming, imagining doing tai
• 1:05:26
  chi in your mind, or doing chigung chikung chigung. But yeah,
• 1:05:35
  I don't know enough about it, but out of the two,
• 1:05:41
  because tai chi, I did tai chi with when I
• 1:05:44
  did Wing Chun kung fu in two thousand and four.
• 1:05:50
  He taught wing chun. He taught gee kundu, and he
• 1:05:54
  also taught tai chi, and he basically taught that tai
• 1:05:58
  chi was just a slow down version of a fighting style.
• 1:06:04
  You know, kicks, punches, blocks and all that stuff. So
• 1:06:08
  it's really just a very slow version of a form,
• 1:06:17
  which would be or a a kater sometimes it is
• 1:06:24
  called it's just a mixture of movements where it's blocking
• 1:06:31
  and punching, then kicking, then sweeping, and you know, all
• 1:06:35
  kinds of like movements. And as the grades go up
• 1:06:38
  in like karate or whatever discipline, the katers or the
• 1:06:44
  forms become more and more complicated. So it's almost like
• 1:06:50
  an fighting an invisible opponent or multiple invisible opponents. The
• 1:06:59
  tie cheer he seems to be doing that, but invisible
• 1:07:03
  opponents that are really slow. So yeah, I'd recommend both
• 1:07:13
  for all, including meditation, because it's so useful, healthy healing.
• 1:07:21
  It's great stuff. I'm making myself want to go back
• 1:07:26
  to meditation, BlimE me. So thank you for that. So,
• 1:07:30
  Ben and Maria, I have answered both your questions. Yeah,
• 1:07:37
  Hope asks me the houses in Britain are older than
• 1:07:44
  in Canada. Do you think they're more haunted? Do you
• 1:07:50
  think your grouping of flats is haunted? And have you
• 1:07:55
  ever lived in a place you thought was haunted? And
• 1:08:05
  M I don't know, really, I don't know how to
• 1:08:07
  answer that. I don't I don't think so. I mean
• 1:08:16
  the big house I used to live in where I'm
• 1:08:19
  between the ages of nine and fifteen with my family.
• 1:08:27
  Didn't have a good atmosphere in there. And I'm talking
• 1:08:30
  when there was no one else in the house, just me.
• 1:08:33
  I didn't feel I didn't like it. I was at
• 1:08:37
  the top of the stairs in the you know, in
• 1:08:39
  the well. I was in a room at the top
• 1:08:41
  of the stairs, and that was there was two sets
• 1:08:45
  of stairs, and I didn't like it. I didn't didn't
• 1:08:52
  get a good feeling about the place. Yeah, as for
• 1:09:05
  see anything, I don't don't, you know, don't anything like that.
• 1:09:09
  It's not really ever happened. So I mean, I know that,
• 1:09:16
  you know, everything's energy and most there's more stuff we
• 1:09:21
  can't see than what we can see all of the
• 1:09:25
  you know, I'm looking around the room and that big gap,
• 1:09:29
  I say, big gap. I'm not living in a mansion,
• 1:09:32
  but that space between me and this desk and the
• 1:09:36
  television at the other side of the room is full
• 1:09:40
  of trillions and trillions and trillions and particles of energy,
• 1:09:50
  energy waves and all kinds of stuff that I'm never
• 1:09:53
  going to see or hear or feel, not consciously anyway.
• 1:10:00
  So I never try not to sort of when I
• 1:10:03
  get serious. I try not to like poo poo other
• 1:10:06
  people's beliefs and things, because there's more stuff that I
• 1:10:10
  don't know than I do know, and that is always
• 1:10:14
  going to be the case my entire life. For everything
• 1:10:19
  I know, there's billions of things that I don't know,
• 1:10:22
  maybe trillions of things that I don't know. So and
• 1:10:27
  I'm okay with that. I can't know everything. I don't
• 1:10:30
  want to know everything. Sometimes I want to know everything
• 1:10:34
  about specific subjects, but generally I don't know. I don't
• 1:10:43
  have any Yeah. I mean, my flat's haunted with a
• 1:10:47
  little Jack Russell, and before that it was haunted by
• 1:10:51
  a little ferritic called Andre and any occasional mice. But generally, yeah,
• 1:11:00
  it's so it wouldn't bother me. It's the neighbors. As
• 1:11:07
  long as the neighbors are quiet, I don't really care
• 1:11:09
  what else happens. As long as everything everything, everyone's safe.
• 1:11:13
  And that's sort of rocking with the asse for so Yeah, No,
• 1:11:21
  I think the answer to that is no. There was
• 1:11:24
  one incident in that house I was telling you about.
• 1:11:30
  We'd only lived there for a little while, and my
• 1:11:35
  dad had put a carpet down, and the carpet started
• 1:11:38
  to rise on its own, and that was strange. But
• 1:11:47
  I think my dad said it was like the air
• 1:11:50
  was going through the skirting boards or something like that.
• 1:11:54
  But that was very weird. It didn't happen in any
• 1:11:57
  other room. Then there was that poltergeist. Uh yeah, not
• 1:12:09
  not nothing really, it was just yeah, I just did
• 1:12:16
  I don't know, I just didn't. I mean, I've lived
• 1:12:18
  in a I literally have lived in a mansion, I
• 1:12:22
  guess technically when I lived in the Children's home in
• 1:12:26
  South End. Huge building, huge like mansion size in a sense,
• 1:12:36
  like absolutely massive, big grounds and massive building. Really you know.
• 1:12:47
  So but I don't remember ever anything happening anything spooky,
• 1:12:53
  paranormal or anything like that there. And that building was
• 1:12:59
  proba be there for a good five six hundred years probably.
• 1:13:06
  In fact, I imagine when it was first built, it
• 1:13:08
  probably was I mentioned, or a hospital or something like that, big, big,
• 1:13:15
  old building. So yeah, I'm no, here's the answer. Really,
• 1:13:25
  the flats are fine. I mean I don't have access
• 1:13:29
  really to any of the other flats. So I talked
• 1:13:32
  to a couple of the other tenants. Now got two
• 1:13:36
  new people moving in, so I don't know them, and
• 1:13:41
  I speak to one one of the other tenants that
• 1:13:44
  I speak to him every now and then, I don't
• 1:13:45
  see him very often. And the other two one that
• 1:13:49
  I know, I speak to them every now and then,
• 1:13:52
  but really I don't. It's kind of things are changing
• 1:13:59
  around here than two new flats, two new people that
• 1:14:03
  moved in. I don't know them, and it's you know,
• 1:14:09
  things change, No, people move on, and it's it's all changing,
• 1:14:17
  whether or not they're haunted. I don't know. No, I
• 1:14:23
  don't think so. So yeah, so I only had three
• 1:14:30
  people leaving messages for questions, but I did get one, one, two, three, four, five, six.
• 1:14:38
  I had six questions. I'm not sure if I've answered
• 1:14:42
  them very well. I'm not sure if I I'm not
• 1:14:46
  sure if I ever answer questions very well. I never
• 1:14:49
  really asked, do I do you know? I ordered something
• 1:14:53
  on Uber eats, and because I'm trying to get I'm
• 1:14:59
  trying to get stocked up for not necessarily just for
• 1:15:03
  the end of the year, but for the future, just
• 1:15:05
  to prepare me for what's to come. And I so
• 1:15:11
  I've been getting like toilet roll and washing up liquid
• 1:15:17
  and black bin bags and just started collecting stuff so
• 1:15:21
  that I've got enough to last me, hopefully for another
• 1:15:24
  year if I can. And so I ordered ten bottles
• 1:15:30
  of shampoo. You know how many they delivered one. I
• 1:15:38
  ordered a couple of other things, but not much. They
• 1:15:41
  delivered one bottle of shampoo. The whole point of it
• 1:15:46
  was to get ten, so that would last me. Bearing
• 1:15:48
  in mind I'm pretty much bored most of the time.
• 1:15:52
  That's going to last me a year. Ten bottles of shampoo.
• 1:15:56
  But no, no, no, no, no. Only one couldn't believe
• 1:16:01
  it never been so angry. So I do believe that
• 1:16:07
  is it for today. Thank you for listening. Remember to
• 1:16:11
  be kind to yourself, because you do deserve to be
• 1:16:14
  happy and be gentle of yourself. You deserve to feel safe.
• 1:16:20
  Lots of love. Bye. Relax in a more deep and
• 1:16:40
  meaningful way, maybe in a way that can not just
• 1:16:48
  allow you to feel calmer now and throughout the time
• 1:16:58
  we've spent together here, not just relaxed at the end
• 1:17:07
  of the recording when it's finished and you can enjoy
• 1:17:11
  that sense of comfort and peace, But also I think
• 1:17:29
  it would be nice to have those feelings of relaxation
• 1:17:42
  continue for longer after the recording has ended, so that
• 1:17:57
  you can still benefit from listening to my voice maybe
• 1:18:09
  in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by
• 1:18:21
  listening regularly, especially if you find like some people do
• 1:18:29
  and myself as well. I sometimes I find one particular
• 1:18:33
  recording that really resonates with me, and I just listen
• 1:18:43
  to it over and over again every morning, every evening.
• 1:18:56
  There was this recording from going back to about nineteen
• 1:19:01
  ninety nine. It was it wasn't hypnosis, but it was
• 1:19:06
  a guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really, and
• 1:19:15
  I managed to find it again and it still has
• 1:19:19
  the same effect on me. And part of it was
• 1:19:28
  the person's voice relaxed me, just felt so peaceful, and
• 1:19:41
  I'd look forward to listening to her in the morning
• 1:19:49
  and in the evening. And I knew before even pressing
• 1:20:00
  in the play button that since I've done that, pressed
• 1:20:08
  the play button. This is in the days of CD
• 1:20:16
  players pressed the play button. In fact, it might have
• 1:20:25
  even been a tape tape recorder. I'd lie down on
• 1:20:29
  the bed and then even without necessarily listening to her
• 1:20:42
  words because I had to memorized. Really, it was as
• 1:20:55
  if my body knew exactly what to do, and the
• 1:21:06
  muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and I remember
• 1:21:28
  my mind would slow down. Now. Now, I was listening
• 1:21:43
  to this recording in the early days of learning hypnosis,
• 1:21:52
  and long before I ever made any videos or audio
• 1:22:00
  recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that till two
• 1:22:05
  thousand and six. But I knew, I knew how helpful
• 1:22:22
  I found being able to just let go, to have
• 1:22:34
  that trust in the person that I'm listening to, knowing
• 1:22:47
  that it's going to be just as relaxing, if not
• 1:22:55
  more so. Each time you hear in my voice, you
• 1:23:04
  may feel the same. Some people have been listening to
• 1:23:16
  me for over a decade, maybe not solidly, obviously not
• 1:23:30
  twenty four hours a day, but maybe people come back.
• 1:23:38
  Some people may be listen every day. There's something that
• 1:23:52
  I do which you may not realize by listening, is
• 1:24:09
  when I record these recordings. Now, for example, I also
• 1:24:25
  am affected by the words that I say. So if
• 1:24:36
  I said to you, focus on your feet, notice your
• 1:24:45
  feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet. I
• 1:24:57
  will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said, focus
• 1:25:15
  on your hands, and maybe notice the difference between each hand.
• 1:25:27
  Perhaps notice the the air in the room, the temperature
• 1:25:34
  of the room. On the backs of your hands, you
• 1:25:46
  may start to notice what almost feels like a very
• 1:25:50
  light breeze, even though there may not be any type
• 1:25:59
  of breeze at all where you are right now. And
• 1:26:12
  as you become aware of your hands, I'm also aware
• 1:26:26
  of how relaxed my hands our feeling.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 4: Now and when.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: It comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which may
• 1:26:58
  be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy when
• 1:27:14
  I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.
• 1:27:36
  In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing,
• 1:27:53
  and then I carry on talking. And it's only when
• 1:28:02
  I listen back to do the editing I hear snoring
• 1:28:13
  and I think, I don't remember snoring. I remember talking.
• 1:28:24
  This snoring was a pick turned up. That's why I
• 1:28:31
  sound like when I snare and I get really into
• 1:28:39
  the whole experience. I don't know how you feel. How
• 1:28:59
  relaxed do you feel in your feet, how relaxed you
• 1:29:09
  feel in your hands. I have noticed more and more
• 1:29:36
  that the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel,
• 1:29:52
  the easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional
• 1:30:12
  muscle relaxation. So This allows you debree easier without necessarily
• 1:30:38
  focusing on your breath, however, being able to notice the
• 1:31:06
  ease in which you breathe so naturally, you breathe so
• 1:31:36
  very easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving.
• 1:32:25
  When I've got my eyes closed, I tend to visualize
• 1:32:41
  a beautiful field with trees and flowers producing all that
• 1:32:57
  life giving oxygen. It feels nice to, if nothing else,
• 1:33:33
  just taking some time away from everything enjoy Yeah, that
• 1:34:07
  feeling of peace, serenity with a joyful heart. Time seems
• 1:34:58
  to just to rip by so very slowly, relaxed, so
• 1:35:29
  deeply peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment,
• 1:36:25
  completely free, noticing that your mind has slowed down. Slowed
• 1:37:21
  down because nothing really requires your attention. You can enjoy
• 1:38:12
  the physical sensations of allowing the stress to rip out
• 1:38:24
  of your body, to appear out of every part of
• 1:38:44
  your body, and being released from your brain in your
• 1:39:08
  mind slowly but surely, the muscles in your legs KSh
• 1:40:05

  the feelings in the back of your neck, the feelings
• 1:42:31
  in your wrists, muscles, in front of your body, I
• 1:43:20
  all say, feeling peaceful deeply, there's a sense of peace
• 1:44:08
  spreads through.

  Speaker 5: Your very core.
• 1:44:43

• 2:11:15
  you could start to notice that you are feeling more relaxed,
• 2:11:25
  even though I've not purposely focused your mind upon that
• 2:11:36
  sense of physical comfort that is growing within you throughout
• 2:11:42
  your body, and your mind starts to slow down, And
• 2:11:55
  that could be almost in recognition of I guess my
• 2:12:03
  speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally feel calmer.
• 2:12:21
  Just by listening to my voice, you give yourself an
• 2:12:29
  opportunity to take a break from the day, take a
• 2:12:37
  break from your life as it is, and to give
• 2:12:45
  yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take some time off,
• 2:12:56
  and to allow your body to relax and allow your
• 2:13:01
  mind to slow down, which in turn releases the tension
• 2:13:13
  and he stresses that you had in your body. It's
• 2:13:22
  almost as if the parts of your body just open up,
• 2:13:28
  allowing the negativity out and at the same time replacing
• 2:13:41
  that negativity with positive heathing energy, which then fills your
• 2:13:50
  body up and your mind to also starts to appreciate
• 2:14:03
  those feelings of increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling, positive healing,
• 2:14:24
  an energy that spreads through your body like a wave
• 2:14:35
  of comfort. And all this comes from just allowing yourself
• 2:14:50
  a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however long you
• 2:14:56
  want it to be, just rest and allow your mind
• 2:15:09
  and your body to almost reset itself to the settings
• 2:15:20
  of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows more room for
• 2:15:37
  feelings of pleasure and happiness to move around your body
• 2:15:51
  and into your mind, almost as if your mind and
• 2:15:57
  your body are singing, looking together, almost mirroring each other,
• 2:16:09
  with that growing positivity and calmness, and it feels nice.
• 2:16:23
  It really does feel nice to know that you are
• 2:16:29
  the one that has allowed yourself to feel more comfort
• 2:16:42
  and to experience more of this deep relaxation spreading throughout
• 2:16:56
  your body. And as I focus on each part of
• 2:17:08
  your body, you can notice that that part becomes even
• 2:17:22
  more relaxed just by focusing on it. It becomes even
• 2:17:31
  more calm and comfortable, just by focusing. And as I
• 2:17:44
  move down your body, starting at your head, the parts
• 2:17:53
  that you've already focused on will continue to relax deeply,
• 2:18:03
  and those parts that we've not yet focused on or
• 2:18:09
  just automatically release any remaining tension in anticipation of even
• 2:18:21
  more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going to start
• 2:18:34
  by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware of the
• 2:18:41
  feelings of your forehead and any background sounds like mister
• 2:18:52
  Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to feel even
• 2:18:57
  more relaxed. Just means you in the moment, this isn't
• 2:19:07
  this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world. I
• 2:19:15
  live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature sounds around.
• 2:19:28
  So as you focus on your forehead, just notice how
• 2:19:33
  it becomes even more relaxed as you focus only on
• 2:19:44
  my voice and that part of your body moving down
• 2:19:53
  to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing how the
• 2:20:06
  your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at the
• 2:20:13
  same time, and all the muscles around your eyes relaxing completely.
• 2:20:27
  Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips, your tongue,
• 2:20:36
  your teeth, and your gumbs, the whole of your mouth relaxing,
• 2:20:48
  calm and loose as you focus now on your jaw,
• 2:21:01
  not just the part of your jaw near your mouth
• 2:21:05
  and your chin, but all the way up the size
• 2:21:10
  of your face to.
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 6: Your ears, the hole of your jaw, feeding more relaxed.
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 1: And calm. Focusing on your neck, the front of your
• 2:21:47
  neck and your throat relaxing and loose and calm. The
• 2:22:00
  sides of your neck, the right and left side of
• 2:22:06
  your neck, relax and loose and calm.
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 2: And now the back.
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 1: Of your neck, focusing on the back of your neck,
• 2:22:38
  letting go of any tension that may have been there before,
• 2:22:45
  and enjoying that sense of increasing comfort and release that
• 2:22:59
  you can expirits in the back of your neck. Moving
• 2:23:10
  down your back and moving either side of your spine
• 2:23:18
  right from the top of your back all the way
• 2:23:22
  down to the bottom of your back, down to your
• 2:23:35
  lower back and as you move up and down your spine,
• 2:23:48
  you can feel the muscles either side of your spine
• 2:23:55
  relaxing even more. And as those muscles relax, that sense
• 2:24:09
  of comfort starts to spread outwards from your spine into
• 2:24:20
  both sides of your back, the top of your back,
• 2:24:27
  the middle, and your lower back. And as you scan
• 2:24:35
  gently and slowly up and down your back, there's the
• 2:24:43
  muscles in the top of your back relax and become looser.
• 2:24:53
  The muscles in the middle of your back also seen
• 2:25:00
  to just almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting,
• 2:25:15
  And in your lower back there seems to be an
• 2:25:21
  extra special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips,
• 2:25:37
  so down your lower back, into your hips, into the
• 2:25:45
  area where your coxis are, and into your buttocks, and
• 2:25:54
  all those muscles that spread from your lower back into
• 2:26:04
  your hip area start to melt, start to really let go.
• 2:26:24
  I don't even nowhere about to focus on your shoulders.
• 2:26:30
  Your back and your spine will continue to let go,
• 2:26:40
  continue to relax so calmly. And as you focus on
• 2:26:56
  your shoulders, you mean no, just they're already feeling really loose.
• 2:27:14
  They're already feeding calm and feeling those muscles then move
• 2:27:41
  from your neck into your shoulders. Feel so soft and gentle,
• 2:28:01
  so smooth and calm. The feeding in your shoulders seems
• 2:28:30
  to spread deep into your shoulders, that sense of relaxation,
• 2:28:39
  not just traveling deeply into your muscles, but also relaxing
• 2:28:54
  the bones and moving all the way to underneath your arms,
• 2:29:06
  relaxing that whole area between the tops of your shoulders
• 2:29:14
  and underneath your arms healing. You feel so relaxed and
• 2:29:32
  comfortable in your shoulders. Who sends that deep healing message
• 2:29:53
  into your arms? You may feel almost as if your
• 2:30:05
  arms are not even there, because they're so relaxed, so
• 2:30:16
  deeply relaxed, so so calm, so loose. Feeling spreading all
• 2:31:05
  the way down your arms two elbows, including your elbows
• 2:31:28
  circumforts spreads or away into your wrists, your forearments, and
• 2:31:45
  your wrists feeling so heavy. Yet at the same time,
• 2:32:08
  sunlight and gentle frey. See now on your hands, my hands,
• 2:33:14
  so peaceful in your hands. There's a sense of real peace.
• 2:33:56
  It just seems to feel so familiar when your hands
• 2:34:10
  relax deeply. Is your fingers a thing? Is solidly a thing?
• 2:35:47
  It tips moving your attention to the front of your body,
• 2:36:34
  so comfortable, moving your focus to your legs, A lot muscles.
• 2:38:13
  Speaker 2: In your thighs, your knees.
• 2:38:36
  Speaker 1: So relaxed, a carved muscles, and just shins compusily four
• 2:41:13
  and the feathing your feet, sir, peaceful, so calm, so peaceful,
• 2:41:41
  so calm, so peaceful, so calm, so peace fall RelA
• 2:42:36
  sin peace fall, so calm, loving that deep relaxation. Just
• 2:43:00
  spread your chest and your stomach, letting go of everything.
• 2:43:34
  So I'm gonna start counting down now from twenty down
• 2:43:40
  to one. You can imagine in a way it's like
• 2:43:49
  just walking down some steps and each step or twenty steps,
• 2:43:55
  and each step represents a level of comfort, each step
• 2:44:05
  represents a deepening of that comfort, and the fervies you
• 2:44:21
  walk down those steps that the deeper and more relaxed
• 2:44:26
  you feel. So starting with number twenty twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen,
• 2:48:24
  three four fourteen too well five eight nine height seven
• 2:57:03
  s five four two one, And now as you focus
• 3:05:19
  on your eyes, We're gonna count down from ten dout one,
• 3:05:39
  focusing just on your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles around
• 3:05:49
  your eyes, your eye walls themselves, our whole area that
• 3:06:00
  makes up your eye. And as we count down from
• 3:06:15
  ten down to one, whilst focus in on your eyes,
• 3:06:29
  you'll become twice is relaxed with each number counting down,
• 3:06:44
  and you may find the all you want to do
• 3:06:51
  is just drift off to sleep, and it's that's what
• 3:07:01
  you want, then just allow yourself to do that. Now,
• 3:07:16
  focusing on your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down
• 3:07:24
  from ten down to one right now, ten nine eight
• 3:09:34
  seven ye five four three two one. So count and
• 3:16:52
  down from ten to one ten nine eight seven six
• 3:17:08
  five four three two.
• 3:17:20
  Speaker 4: One.
• 3:17:27
  Speaker 1: And maybe that was a bit too quick in order
• 3:17:30
  to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you
• 3:17:34
  to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a
• 3:17:44
  little bit of pressure there, Like you're counting down from
• 3:17:48
  ten to one. Would you expect me to do man,
• 3:17:52
  expect me to stick gold floppy just because you're counting down.
• 3:18:02
  We could try again, but this time I go this lower.
• 3:18:08
  This time, as you focus on the whole of your
• 3:18:13
  body before we focus on your legs, just notice how
• 3:18:21
  your body does start to feel more relaxed with every
• 3:18:36
  number that I count down ten nine eight seven six
• 3:19:17
  five four three two one, And just notice how how
• 3:20:26
  you feel, generally, how your body feels. It's not necessarily
• 3:20:36
  even about counting down from ten to one. It's that
• 3:20:47
  space that you have, that space between being active physically
• 3:21:07
  or mentally to just sitting or lying down and just
• 3:21:16
  being there, not doing anything, not saying anything, or needing
• 3:21:22
  to think about anything. So it opens up a space,
• 3:21:29
  you know, a bit of a space, a gap. And
• 3:21:38
  the more I comed down from ten to one, the
• 3:21:42
  bigger that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness,
• 3:21:52
  of comfort, relaxation. It's a nice feeling, and it moves
• 3:22:09
  those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them away.
• 3:22:26
  Allows you.
• 3:22:29
  Speaker 7: To just.
• 3:22:33
  Speaker 1: Slow down. Someone to count again from ten down to one,
• 3:22:40
  and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,
• 3:22:50
  it's almost like the thestress and attention falls into the
• 3:22:57
  gap and gives you that distance, that space. Now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,
• 3:24:36
  three two one. How does your body feel.
• 3:25:29
  Speaker 8: Now?
• 3:25:42
  Speaker 1: Can you notice do you feeling calmer, the feeling more relaxed.
• 3:26:21
  As we now focus on your legs, just your legs.
• 3:26:41
  We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,
• 3:27:02
  it's not the most exciting thing to be doing, because
• 3:27:10
  I'm sure, like most of your body is not a
• 3:27:13
  lot going on right now. Just focusing on the whole
• 3:27:25
  of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides
• 3:27:32
  of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs,
• 3:27:39
  and your inner thighs, basically the whole of your thigh
• 3:27:44
  that leads into your hip and it goes down to
• 3:27:53
  your knee joints. Now, this is a big area. It's
• 3:28:07
  a very heavy area. It's very strong. Probably the strongest
• 3:28:14
  muscles in your body are in your thighs. But I
• 3:28:27
  don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.
• 3:28:41
  Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to
• 3:28:52
  our lives, how much they actually do for us all
• 3:29:13
  through our lives. And it may seem to sound really weird,
• 3:29:23
  but I think that all of our body parts, especially
• 3:29:32
  our thighs, need some TLC, a bit of love shown,
• 3:29:40
  a bit of acknowledgement. I thank you gratitude for what
• 3:29:58
  our thighs do for us. And I know this may
• 3:30:08
  sound a bit strange. Maybe you think, why am I
• 3:30:14
  sure how I should be out in the garden, hugging
• 3:30:17
  a tree or something. Well, it's hard to set a
• 3:30:25
  microphone up on a tree. That's why I'm doing this indoors.
• 3:30:29
  Otherwise I would be outside hugging a tree. Now I
• 3:30:32
  can't see the television from the tree. If you move
• 3:30:41
  down to your knees gain such an important part. And
• 3:30:51
  I think we don't necessarily I'll speak for myself here,
• 3:30:58
  I don't necessarily appreciate all that my knees do for
• 3:31:03
  me until I have a problem with my knee. It's occasionally,
• 3:31:10
  if I ever maybe i'll bash it or it's aching
• 3:31:15
  for some reason. It's then that I realize how much
• 3:31:21
  it does. You know, the benefit of being able to
• 3:31:26
  use my legs without any kind of physical discomfort is
• 3:31:36
  a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed.
• 3:31:46
  You know that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees,
• 3:31:55
  regardless of how your knees feel, you can have that
• 3:32:01
  sense of gratitude and love to your knees for all
• 3:32:07
  that they do for you, And you can still have
• 3:32:20
  that attention on your thighs and maybe notice how your
• 3:32:24
  thighs feel. Maybe you've noticed that they are relaxing more
• 3:32:37
  deeply as you focus now on the bottoms of your legs,
• 3:32:50
  your shins, and your calf muscles, and the bones between
• 3:32:55
  your knees and your feet, incorporating of course, your ankles
• 3:33:04
  so important. You know, anyone that's had even like the
• 3:33:14
  slightest sprain of an ankle knows how how much we
• 3:33:21
  take our ankles for granted. And it's kind of strange
• 3:33:31
  in a way when you think that. You know, logically,
• 3:33:36
  our wrists are a lot thinner than the rest of
• 3:33:39
  our arms, which is okay, it doesn't I can't see
• 3:33:44
  any problem with that because we're just picking stuff up.
• 3:33:49
  But our ankles so much thinner than the rest of
• 3:33:55
  our legs, and from a physics perspective or logical even
• 3:34:06
  it doesn't really make sense that all this weight would
• 3:34:12
  ultimately be resting on your ankles then leading to your feet,
• 3:34:23
  that thin area, thin bone. Yeah, it does so much
• 3:34:32
  great work. Supports us, supports our body for a lifetime,
• 3:34:44
  helps us to balance, helps you to get around and
• 3:34:54
  be mobile. And there's the calf muscles. Of course, when
• 3:35:08
  I was younger, I couldn't see the point in calf muscles.
• 3:35:12
  It didn't seem to do anything. Okay, if I walked
• 3:35:17
  around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles get some work.
• 3:35:22
  But of course that's not true. The calf muscles are
• 3:35:24
  being used whenever we use our legs, and your shins
• 3:35:38
  there to protect your lower legs, shaped in a way
• 3:35:48
  almost as a protector for the bone, leading of course
• 3:36:01
  to your ankles and your feet. But we're not going
• 3:36:11
  to focus on your feet. We're just going to focus
• 3:36:13
  on the legs. I realize, but now that I've mentioned
• 3:36:20
  your feet, it probably focuses on them anyway, So maybe
• 3:36:24
  I should focus on your feet a little bit. You
• 3:36:31
  can have them in your awareness the same as you
• 3:36:36
  have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we haven't
• 3:36:40
  been focusing on your thighs a few minutes, we've been
• 3:36:46
  focusing on your ankles, there's still that sensation of comfort
• 3:37:03
  in your thighs in this that movement of energy, because
• 3:37:15
  the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course, there's
• 3:37:22
  the muscles, the big strong muscles that we have in
• 3:37:27
  our thighs, but the skin on the outside of the thighs,
• 3:37:41
  as in the outside of all of our body, can
• 3:37:46
  be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch sensitive to temperature.
• 3:38:04
  And inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's
• 3:38:12
  the blood, vessels, the arch trees, it's all this stuff
• 3:38:17
  that's inside your thighs. And I guess sometimes it'd be
• 3:38:26
  nice if you could actually put your fingers inside your
• 3:38:30
  thighs and a message, so you can message on the outside,
• 3:38:36
  of course, but to be able to get deep into
• 3:38:39
  the muscles and to be able to just message inside
• 3:38:44
  your thighs, message in the bones of your leg, message
• 3:38:51
  in all the veins, and just gently healing your thighs,
• 3:39:04
  and you could move down message and inside your knees,
• 3:39:11
  just message in those bones, but with healing fingertips spreading
• 3:39:18
  that healing energy deep into the joints of your knees.
• 3:39:29
  Of course, there's the back of your your knee, you know,
• 3:39:33
  the inside crease where your knee is. It's a very
• 3:39:39
  sensitive area. Very it feels very nice when you stroke it.
• 3:39:46
  That might be because it's an area that's not really
• 3:39:50
  touched very often. It's almost like a hidden part that
• 3:39:57
  crease and you're leggs. It's almost it's like a part
• 3:40:04
  that has a sensitivity which is a little bit different.
• 3:40:16
  Of course, it's protected by your legs. So you can
• 3:40:26
  imagine putting your fingers into that crease in your legs,
• 3:40:37
  that fold in between your legs. You can just massage
• 3:40:41
  with your fingertips. Imagine your fingertips going inside, massage in
• 3:40:48
  the muscle tissue. You can of course field the bones
• 3:40:58
  of your knees, healing through your fingertips. And then as
• 3:41:10
  you go down to your calf muscles. Now that's the
• 3:41:16
  part I'd like to be able to really put my
• 3:41:19
  fingertips deep inside my calf muscles, massage in every single
• 3:41:29
  tissue of that muscle, healing every part, and then doing
• 3:41:41
  the same for my shins, massage in and gently stroking
• 3:41:49
  the bones, gently stroking them, healing in a loving way,
• 3:41:56
  because they deserve to be treated as the precious bones
• 3:42:03
  that they are, because our legs are so precious as
• 3:42:07
  in all the other parts of our body, and more
• 3:42:12
  precious of any jure on the planet. When you start
• 3:42:27
  to think about your legs in this way, it can
• 3:42:39
  change your perspective. It might sound a bit a bit
• 3:42:48
  silly to start with the idea of having love for
• 3:42:54
  your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting to be
• 3:43:03
  able to put your hands in your thighs, massage the
• 3:43:11
  muscles and the bones, and to get your fingers deep
• 3:43:17
  in there, releasing all tension. Just to show how much
• 3:43:27
  you care about your legs, how much you care for
• 3:43:35
  what your legs do for you regularly, your knees, your calves,
• 3:43:45
  your ankles, the strength of your ankles, considering how thin
• 3:43:57
  they are compared to the rest of your your legs,
• 3:44:00
  especially your thighs. Yeah, they're so strong, so flexible, absolutely
• 3:44:14
  amazing things. Your ankles are truly a gift because of
• 3:44:26
  what they do for you, supporting all that weight, regardless
• 3:44:37
  of how what weight you are, even if you're only
• 3:44:41
  eight stone, there's still a lot of weight for these
• 3:44:47
  little ankles. Now, I'm a lot heavier than eight stone
• 3:44:55
  double back. Yeah, my ankles support my body all the time,
• 3:45:08
  or they do give off a sigh of relief when
• 3:45:11
  I sit down, I have my whole legs do my
• 3:45:20
  feet feet also go and my toes clap. I'm so happy.
• 3:45:47
  Your legs really are amazing. And I know that talking
• 3:45:56
  about talking about your legs is probably possibly among the
• 3:46:03
  most most boring things you've ever heard anyone say. Possibly
• 3:46:11
  or boring or not. Everything I said is true. Your
• 3:46:18
  legs are amazing. Your legs deserve not just respect, they
• 3:46:39
  deserve to relax deeply. They deserve to take some time
• 3:46:51
  out of the day to just let go completely. Your
• 3:47:15
  legs really can relax. And because the legs are so
• 3:47:34
  such a most, you know, very important part of your body.
• 3:47:40
  When you relax your legs, the rest of your body
• 3:47:43
  also naturally follows in that journey of comfort. I can
• 3:48:02
  feel it in my hips. My hips feel really loose,
• 3:48:10
  and also my lwer back as well. My lower back
• 3:48:15
  really feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting
• 3:48:21
  in a chair and there's no stretching as far as
• 3:48:27
  I'm aware that I'm doing. It's almost as if the
• 3:48:30
  muscles are just relaxed so much that there is a
• 3:48:34
  natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot. And
• 3:48:59
  I'm now going to countdown from ten down to one,
• 3:49:07
  and you can continue to fill wonderfully relaxed ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four.
• 3:49:44
  Speaker 3: Three two one relax.
• 3:50:08
  Speaker 1: So I'm just going to count down from five down
• 3:50:12
  to one. And as I countdown, if you just focus
• 3:50:17
  on the numbers, just the numbers counting down, and notice
• 3:50:25
  how you feel in this moment as you hear the
• 3:50:33
  numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers counting down represent
• 3:50:43
  you feeling calmer, not just in your body, but also
• 3:50:54
  relaxing your mind. Just notice how you feel. There's nothing
• 3:51:02
  to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing to think about.
• 3:51:10
  Starting with number five, four, three two one, as you know,
• 3:52:00
  is the gradual letting go that the tension in your body.
• 3:52:16
  You may also begin to notice and be aware of
• 3:52:22
  how your mind is starting to slow down. This is
• 3:52:31
  just a natural thing that happens. It's not really a
• 3:52:37
  special procedure. It's just natural because as your body relaxes,
• 3:52:45
  your mind also starts to relax, and the more your
• 3:52:50
  mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes. It's just a
• 3:52:54
  continuous circle of relaxation. And there's that calmness that comes
• 3:53:06
  from relative quietness. You know, even even if there's background
• 3:53:14
  sounds either your side, online, it's still going to be
• 3:53:22
  quite calm. You know, you haven't got the television on,
• 3:53:27
  there's no music in the background unless you're listening to
• 3:53:31
  the recording with music. Of course, you're very likely not
• 3:53:39
  going to be sitting in a room with other people.
• 3:53:42
  Of Course, you might be but generally it's more ideal
• 3:53:47
  if you can do this on your own, so no distractions,
• 3:53:58
  and when you stop thinking about stuff, relaxation automatically rises,
• 3:54:13
  a sense of comfort starts to grow, and without trying
• 3:54:24
  to build it up into something fantastical or something magical,
• 3:54:35
  this is just a natural process, something that's easy to accomplish.
• 3:54:48
  In fact, it's almost you know, the sense of relaxing
• 3:54:53
  completely happens really when you put no effort into it.
• 3:55:00
  It's not something that you can really force. It's something
• 3:55:06
  that happens naturally. And part of the process of this
• 3:55:17
  recording and others is simply two allow you to take
• 3:55:29
  advantage of this space this time. It's just let go
• 3:55:47
  to just be here, to be in tune with how
• 3:55:55
  you feel, yet with the intention of wanting to relax
• 3:56:09
  deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending on what
• 3:56:20
  it is that you wish for yourself in this moment.
• 3:56:33
  As we know, relaxing is the majority of the process
• 3:56:43
  of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep part is the
• 3:56:48
  tiny bit at the end. The deeper relaxed you become,
• 3:57:00
  the easier you find yourself drifting. You can also if
• 3:57:18
  you choose stay focused on my voice and really enjoy
• 3:57:35
  the process of gradually relaxing each muscle in your body
• 3:58:03
  effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting go completely.
• 3:58:38
  This time, I'm going to count from six down to one,
• 3:58:47
  and you can notice your mind calming down more with
• 3:58:57
  each number that you hear me say, naturally, feeling calm
• 3:59:11
  and slow and peaceful sex five, four, three, two one,
• 4:02:10
  being aware of how your mind has slowed right down,
• 4:02:23
  sinking deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind,
• 4:02:47
  you may notice that there are some thoughts still there,
• 4:02:59
  maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need
• 4:03:09
  your attention. That's what you can do is send love
• 4:03:24
  to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love like all
• 4:03:38
  petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them, petals
• 4:03:44
  filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those thoughts
• 4:03:51
  know that you're not abandon in them. You just need them,
• 4:03:59
  You quiet them, to just calm down, slow down, quiet
• 4:04:11
  down for now. So as you focus on those remaining
• 4:04:26
  thoughts as we count down this time from seven down
• 4:04:32
  to one. With each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower
• 4:04:41
  petals of love, kindness, gratitude over those thoughts, which will
• 4:05:00
  allow them to just melt away and relax deeply. With
• 4:05:10
  every number, those thoughts will become more and more relaxed,
• 4:05:30
  starting with number seven, six, five, four, three, one. And
• 4:08:01
  as you now notice how relaxed your feeling in your body,
• 4:08:27
  we're going to focus on your hands, because the more
• 4:08:40
  relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed your body and
• 4:08:48
  mind are. And you focus on your hands and your fingers,
• 4:09:15
  there's nothing needed to be done. There's no clenching of
• 4:09:20
  fists or tents in the fingers or anything like that.
• 4:09:32
  It's just noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing how
• 4:09:46
  they feel. Because the more relaxed your hands feel, the
• 4:10:11
  calmer your mind feels, and the more comfort you feel
• 4:10:22
  throughout your body.
• 4:10:29
  Speaker 2: And you may.
• 4:10:35
  Speaker 1: Have already noticed your mind is starting to drest like
• 4:11:18
  since just on your hands and fingers, allowing them to
• 4:11:36
  experience a real deepening of that relaxation in your hands
• 4:11:47
  and fingers more and more relaxed. With each number from
• 4:12:13
  eight down to one, you can almost feel that healing
• 4:12:28
  and relaxing energy spreading into your hands and fingers, becoming
• 4:12:45
  year more relaxing with each number you hear going down
• 4:13:03
  eight down to one, drifting, drifting again, starting with number
• 4:13:34
  eight seven six, five four three fo just being here now,
• 4:17:27
  nothing to think about, nothing to do, nothing to say,
• 4:17:37
  and everything just feels calmer. And this is your natural
• 4:17:49
  state of being. This is how you just normally feel
• 4:17:57
  when you take away all that other stuff that we add,
• 4:18:07
  you know, things like stress and worrying and overthinking and anxiety, tension,
• 4:18:23
  just generally thinking about stuff. When you take that away,
• 4:18:30
  which is what we do, what we do now, you're
• 4:18:39
  left with a real sense of peacefulness which comes to
• 4:18:50
  you very quickly because ultimately it's just a feeling, a
• 4:19:04
  feeling of comfort, almost as if you've gone inside yourself
• 4:19:13
  and you've found a special place where everything is peaceful,
• 4:19:27
  a place where you can feel relaxed and your natural
• 4:19:35
  sense of comfort, a place where you can be you,
• 4:19:46
  where you can accept yourself for who you are, a
• 4:19:53
  place where you're not trying to please anybody else ever,
• 4:20:03
  a place where you can actually not just love yourself,
• 4:20:12
  but in some ways more importantly, you can like yourself,
• 4:20:20
  appreciate who you are. That sense of gratitude is in
• 4:20:37
  the air all around you. That's also a place where
• 4:20:49
  you can actually feel the healing energy soaking into your body.
• 4:21:06
  Healing energy soaking into your body, and that healing energy
• 4:21:17
  spreads through your veins, traveling to each and every single
• 4:21:28
  part of your body, and you start to realize that actually,
• 4:21:40
  that healing energy, it's not just entered into your brain,
• 4:21:49
  it's become part of your brain, and that spinal fluid
• 4:22:01
  is now mixed with healing energy, not just allowing you
• 4:22:12
  to feel so much more relaxed and healthy in this moment,
• 4:22:25
  but also you start to realize that actually, what's happening
• 4:22:34
  now with that healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body,
• 4:22:45
  it's actually changing your life. It's actually changing the way
• 4:22:56
  you're going to feel not just now, but tomorrow and
• 4:23:02
  the next day. As your health improves, not just your
• 4:23:11
  physical health, but your mental health. Things that used to
• 4:23:19
  bother you in the past, for some reason, no longer
• 4:23:27
  have the effect that they used to because something has
• 4:23:34
  changed deep within you. Maybe things that used to cause
• 4:23:47
  you to feel anger no longer have that power to
• 4:23:59
  control you the way they seem to be able to before.
• 4:24:08
  As you realize that you're the one who decides what
• 4:24:19
  affects you, you're the one who decides to feel relaxed
• 4:24:32
  and calm when you choose to enjoy noticing these natural
• 4:24:46
  developments of healing, continuing to grow and improve your life
• 4:25:01
  day by day, including of course your ability to relax
• 4:25:13
  so much easier and sleeping is the most natural thing
• 4:25:29
  in the world to you, because falling asleep is something
• 4:25:39
  that you've done so many times in your life, and
• 4:25:50
  you know that you were born, as we all were,
• 4:25:55
  with the ability to fall asleep naturally. We were born
• 4:26:06
  with that ability to just drift off into a deep,
• 4:26:18
  healing sleep. Even when we're kids, sometimes will fall asleep
• 4:26:29
  when we don't even want to try to think us
• 4:26:34
  stay awake. Maybe it's a birthday in the morning, or
• 4:26:38
  it's Christmas or holiday or something we look forward to.
• 4:26:43
  We don't want to go to sleep. But the more
• 4:26:47
  we want to stay awake, the more we just start
• 4:26:52
  to drift. And the more you fight drifting were we
• 4:27:01
  try to stop yourself and drift in a shape the
• 4:27:06
  deeper and stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born not
• 4:27:18
  just with the need to relax deeply and to naturally
• 4:27:24
  fall asleep, but it's our birthright, it's part of our
• 4:27:34
  DNA and sometimes as we get older in life, perhaps
• 4:27:46
  at times we have forgotten that relaxing completely. It's not
• 4:27:59
  a wonderfully pleasant experience. It's also really easy. It's very
• 4:28:25
  very easy to let go, because that's all it is.
• 4:28:32
  It's just deciding to let go. And when you press
• 4:28:47
  the play button on my recordings, you have given permission
• 4:28:57
  for my voice to relax you. When you press that
• 4:29:05
  play button, you've given me permission for my words to
• 4:29:15
  affect you in a positive, only a positive way, opening
• 4:29:29
  up your mind too useful and healing suggestions that can
• 4:29:53
  have such an amazing effect act on how you feel
• 4:30:04
  right now, as well as those changes that continue long
• 4:30:19
  after the recording ends. Those changes within you to continue
• 4:30:30
  to flourish and grow, transforming your life in a positive,
• 4:30:45
  beautiful way, allowing you to move forward in your life
• 4:30:56
  in the direction that you choose for yourself. And this feeling,
• 4:31:13
  this feeling that you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness,
• 4:31:29
  just feels so nice. It's such a healthy place to be,
• 4:31:51
  and that positivity grows within you each and every day.
• 4:32:08
  Moving forward, you're going to find that you're more relaxed
• 4:32:20
  physically and in your mind is more relaxed. And it's
• 4:32:32
  not that you're thinking slower, it's just that your mind
• 4:32:38
  will be less clogged up with unnecessary negativity because from
• 4:32:50
  now on, your mind rejects negativity. From now you're going
• 4:33:01
  to start noticing when negativity arises, and you can just
• 4:33:12
  say stop, stop, and that negativity will turn around and
• 4:33:26
  leave you alone. Stop and that negativity will disappear. And
• 4:33:54
  as you notice that you feel way more related axed
• 4:34:01
  than you probably expected, you can now congratulate yourself because
• 4:34:17
  you're the person that has done this. You are the
• 4:34:23
  one that has opened your mind up to the simple facts.
• 4:34:33
  You can feel more relaxed in your body and in
• 4:34:38
  your mind. You've opened your mind up to the birthright
• 4:34:50
  of being able to just fall asleep easily when you choose.
• 4:35:07
  And that's a nice feeling. Don't you think it feels nice?
• 4:35:14
  Doesn't it? To feel calm? All that healing energy is
• 4:35:24
  spreading through your body and your mind to spend time
• 4:35:35
  in a special place where negativity can no longer enter.
• 4:35:52
  Negativity is banned. It's bad, it's not allowed. Intrigue doesn't
• 4:36:02
  it doesn't. This doesn't deserve to be here, doesn't belong here.
• 4:36:10
  Negativity has no place in your life, which makes room
• 4:36:25
  feel more comfort, more healing, more relaxation, more peace. It
• 4:36:56
  feels nice, doesn't it? Just the let go with everything.
• 4:37:21
  I'm going to count down now from twenty down to one.
• 4:37:29
  You can continue to relax. If you choose, you can
• 4:37:39
  drift to sleep with every number you hear me say,
• 4:37:54
  you can fill twice as relaxed, or if you choose,
• 4:38:01
  you can fill twice sleepy now. Twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten,
• 4:39:51
  nine eats seven, six, five four. This is your time
• 4:41:10
  to just take a break, your time to relax, to
• 4:41:24
  allow your mind to slow down, to give yourself permission
• 4:41:42
  to take a break from everything. And you're the only
• 4:41:56
  person that can make that decision. You're the only person
• 4:42:03
  that can actually tell your mind to just relax, to
• 4:42:19
  just take some time off so that you can focus
• 4:42:35
  on your body, getting in touch with how you feel physically.
• 4:42:52
  And in the process of this body scan where you
• 4:42:59
  focus on different parts of your body, those parts that
• 4:43:09
  you focus on and observe, even though you're not purposely
• 4:43:19
  requesting for those parts of your body to relax, it's
• 4:43:27
  kind of expected. You expect when you listen to my
• 4:43:33
  voice to feel more relaxed naturally, because when you're listening
• 4:43:46
  to me, your attention is focused on my words, and
• 4:44:01
  as my words guide you to focus on those parts
• 4:44:13
  of your body, your focus increases, which actually calms your mind.
• 4:44:39
  And when your mind calms down, your body relaxes. And
• 4:44:58
  when your body calms down, your mind relaxes. And even
• 4:45:21
  though we've not really started the focus on your body,
• 4:45:31
  you can already feel that healing energy spreading through your body,
• 4:45:47
  pushing out stress and tension, healing all the parts of
• 4:46:02
  your body, including your skin, your bones, your blood, all
• 4:46:11
  of your organs inside your body, all of the muscles,
• 4:46:17
  all of the fat, all of everything, every hair on
• 4:46:25
  your body is filled with that healing energy. And when
• 4:46:38
  your brain fills with that healing energy, the feeling of
• 4:46:55
  comfort and relaxation increases, deeply increases in a way to
• 4:47:22
  your mind starts to feel perhaps bit drowsy because it's
• 4:47:39
  not needed, and it may start to drift if that's
• 4:47:58
  what's needed. So if you're listening to this and what
• 4:48:07
  you need is deep relaxation, that's what you get. If
• 4:48:13
  what you need is to fall asleep, naturally and easily
• 4:48:21
  as your mind drifts. That's also what will happen because
• 4:48:35
  by pressing that play button on the podcast and listening
• 4:48:43
  to me, you give permission for your body and your mind.
• 4:48:52
  In fact, you give the command to your body and
• 4:49:01
  your mind to relax deeply and to drift off to sleep,
• 4:49:15
  if that's what you want or need. And as I
• 4:49:30
  focus on the different parts of your body, you may
• 4:49:41
  start to just drift. And then you come back again
• 4:49:50
  and you hear me talking, and I'm focusing on a
• 4:49:54
  different parts of your body, and you may find yourself drifting.
• 4:50:09
  You don't realize you're drifting until you stop drifting and
• 4:50:17
  you're alert again to my voice, focusing on a different
• 4:50:24
  part of your body starts to relax even deeper, because
• 4:50:34
  that drifting is basically you already in the sleep zone.
• 4:50:48
  And the more you drift, the longer you drift, and the
• 4:50:54
  longer you drift, eventually that drifting continues into sleep, and
• 4:51:09
  that's the last you remember until you wake up in
• 4:51:18
  your own time. When you experience the right amount of sleep,
• 4:51:25
  fear because when you do and if you do fall asleep,
• 4:51:34
  it's extremely pleasant, so relaxing, so deep healing, sleep.
• 4:51:59
  Speaker 9: M.
• 4:52:01
  Speaker 1: Going. It feels so nice to relax into your own
• 4:52:09
  body and mind as you feel that heating energy is
• 4:52:18
  spreading through it, relaxing news so deeply, relaxing us so
• 4:52:34
  so deeply. As we start to focus on your eyes,
• 4:52:57
  moving down to you chure, down to your neck, your shoulders, arms, hands, fingers,
• 4:53:51
  your chest, the stomach, your back, your spine, you hps,
• 4:54:31
  your legs, your feet, you chose and feeding, eating, spreading
• 4:55:14
  and growing inside your body, feeling you up. Now let's
• 4:55:28
  focus again on parts of your body, focusing this time
• 4:55:39
  on your forehead. Now on your mouth, your lips, your tongue,
• 4:55:55
  the whole of your mouth. Focus in on your fingers.
• 4:56:16
  Maybe you could move your fingers a little bit. You
• 4:56:21
  can focus on each one individually, both hands, and even
• 4:56:37
  though as you focus on both of your hands now
• 4:56:42
  they almost seem to just melt into one where there
• 4:56:50
  is your right hand start in your left hand end,
• 4:56:58
  almost as if you just mixed together. Now focusing on
• 4:57:09
  your knees, just noticing how your knees feel. Now, focusing
• 4:57:38
  on your elbows, focusing on both of your elbows, just
• 4:57:50
  observing the feeling of your elbows. Now focusing absurding the
• 4:58:28
  back of your neck, feeding the energy the back of
• 4:58:43
  your neck, obsurving your ankles, being aware of physical sensations
• 4:59:36
  in your ankles, noticin now your toes on, go for
• 5:00:49
  your feet, being aware your toast feel right now mhm,
• 5:01:41
  no to sin, how your entire body feels, noticing your
• 5:02:15
  mind feels now, letting go, letting go, letting go everything,
• 5:03:15
  letting go, letting go, leting go everything everything. I'm going
• 5:03:57
  to start now, and I would like you just, first
• 5:04:01
  of all, just to see yourself lying down on that
• 5:04:06
  message table, lying on your front. Your head is supported,
• 5:04:13
  your arms are supported, and you feel comfortable, and breathing
• 5:04:22
  is really easy, and you feel you feel confident in
• 5:04:31
  how you look as well. So there's none of that
• 5:04:34
  issue of body problems or shyness because I'm a professional
• 5:04:41
  and this is a therapy session, so none of that
• 5:04:48
  stuff matters whatsoever. This is about you. This is about
• 5:04:59
  how you feel and how you can enjoy that sense
• 5:05:07
  of comfort and relaxation that comes from letting go and
• 5:05:13
  allowing my hands and my fingers to relax you by
• 5:05:21
  a massaging your body. So I want to start off
• 5:05:30
  just by placing my hands on the back of your head,
• 5:05:36
  just gently, just you can feel what my hands feel
• 5:05:42
  like really on you, so you can maybe feel the
• 5:05:49
  warmth of my hands on the back of your head.
• 5:05:54
  With my hands to the side of your head, not pressing,
• 5:05:58
  but just holding the very gently, maybe over your ears,
• 5:06:05
  and a little bit on your face, just so you
• 5:06:08
  can feel my hands so you can become accustomed to them.
• 5:06:25
  And now put my hands on the back of your
• 5:06:27
  head again and gently let them slide down onto the
• 5:06:34
  back of your neck. You can feel my hands gently
• 5:06:52
  stroke in the back of your neck to start with,
• 5:06:58
  just so you can get used to the feeling my
• 5:07:03
  hands on your skin, get accustomed to it, realize that
• 5:07:11
  you're safe and it's all good, it's all fine, And
• 5:07:21
  I'm going to start gently messaging the muscles in the
• 5:07:25
  back of your neck with both hands. Now, this is
• 5:07:41
  a very trusting situation really, because our necks are so
• 5:07:47
  fragile and to have someone have their hands around your
• 5:07:53
  neck in that way can sometimes be problematic for people,
• 5:07:59
  which is why I mass sages are quite good because
• 5:08:03
  it allows you to relax and to get in touch
• 5:08:11
  with trust, to feel peaceful and calm. And there's a
• 5:08:28
  massage the sides of your neck gently moving from the
• 5:08:37
  bottom of your neck. It would be sort of near
• 5:08:41
  where your shoulders start, I guess, all the way up
• 5:08:46
  to your jaw, your ears, kind of area that side
• 5:08:52
  of your neck. Of course, it's a lot longer than
• 5:08:57
  the front of your neck. The message in the back
• 5:09:13
  of your neck, especially that area where perhaps we hold tension,
• 5:09:26
  and as that area's message, you can actually feel a
• 5:09:31
  sense of release in the back of your neck, and
• 5:09:39
  maybe you can breathe it out as well. Notice how
• 5:09:44
  it feels. Notice how you feel. And then moving down
• 5:09:58
  to that area between neck in your shoulders, that musty area,
• 5:10:06
  starting to message that area on both sides. I mean,
• 5:10:14
  this would be the area that a lot of people
• 5:10:16
  would message if they were going to give you, like
• 5:10:19
  a shoulder message. Even that's not technically the shoulders, but
• 5:10:25
  it's all the muscles that lead to the shoulders from
• 5:10:29
  the neck and a game that can hold tension and stress,
• 5:10:37
  and when massaged sometimes a nice deep message is useful,
• 5:10:45
  and you decide how deep that message is and just
• 5:11:01
  allow my knuckles just to dig in to get to
• 5:11:08
  those muscles and to read relaxed all the time, being
• 5:11:18
  firm yet gentle with you and just stroking down the
• 5:11:36
  area to your actual shoulders, moving to the muscles of
• 5:11:44
  your shoulders, and maybe initially just pulling up the shoulders
• 5:11:55
  a little bit of the table, just to give you
• 5:11:59
  a little bit of a stretch, but very gently, and
• 5:12:09
  you've got the muscles at the front of your shoulders
• 5:12:13
  the sides of the back. Again, this is a part
• 5:12:24
  that can really take quite a bit of pressure, quite
• 5:12:29
  a bit of needing if if you wish to really
• 5:12:39
  release the tension to really get into those muscles and
• 5:12:48
  can let your fingers in there. They can feel really nice.
• 5:12:54
  Sometimes just being stroked gently or being messile, just quite strongly,
• 5:13:06
  it can all be beneficial to the realaxation with the
• 5:13:15
  muscles in your shoulders. Now you move down your arms.
• 5:13:35
  We do one arm at a time, starting with your
• 5:13:39
  right arm. My ideas I just lift your arm up,
• 5:13:51
  just hold it to the side of you that way
• 5:13:56
  still be attached, and I just message the tops of
• 5:14:02
  your arms all the way down to your forearms into
• 5:14:19
  your wrists, gently massaging that parts. The softer part which
• 5:14:43
  is the under part of the arm, which leads to
• 5:14:49
  the crease in your robo the inside. It's much more
• 5:14:55
  sensitive skin. Sometimes just having that stroked, I feel really nice,
• 5:15:15
  pleasurable and relaxing. Now moving down to your right hand,
• 5:15:35
  just holding your hand in both of my hands, just
• 5:15:47
  pressing gently on the back of your hand and stretching
• 5:15:54
  your fingers ever so lightly at the same time, pressing
• 5:16:04
  down and massaging each finger, and then starting to massage
• 5:16:18
  the palms of the hand. Just turning the hand gently,
• 5:16:30
  stretching it gently, and actually having your hand held can
• 5:16:40
  really be an emotional experience sometimes even if it is
• 5:16:47
  a stranger. So when you don't know very well, like
• 5:16:53
  a massage person or a therapist, maybe because it's into
• 5:17:00
  that and you can feel nice, you can feel safe.
• 5:17:20
  And as I put that right arm back down where
• 5:17:23
  it was, we're gonna do the same with your left
• 5:17:31
  arm exactly the same. Massage in the muscles and your
• 5:17:44
  arm all the way down. Do your rest stroking the
• 5:17:52
  inside of your arm, just beIN gentle or as firm
• 5:18:02
  as you require. And then massaging your left hand, stretching
• 5:18:22
  the fingers gently, massaging the palm of your left hand.
• 5:18:44
  You can feel so so relaxing, so comforting, and just
• 5:19:12
  rest your left down back down, start to massage your back,
• 5:19:27
  the biggest part of your body, starting at the top,
• 5:19:38
  starting again where we already been, the area at the
• 5:19:42
  top in between his shoulders and near your neck. Going
• 5:19:49
  back a message in that area again, but this time
• 5:19:54
  moving downwards. H taking a downward stroke to the middle
• 5:20:07
  of your back, working from the outside inwards. It's a
• 5:20:14
  massage in the your back, but the the outsides of
• 5:20:22
  your back, the parts where your arms with maybe rest against,
• 5:20:40
  almost the part that connects your front to your back.
• 5:20:55
  Just massaging down firmly but gently, as firm as you want,
• 5:21:07
  moving down and moving across a little bit, and moving
• 5:21:11
  all the way down again, being very gentle yet firm
• 5:21:18
  as you choose. Eventually we get to the spine. We
• 5:21:29
  can message the muscles on either side of your spine
• 5:21:34
  from the top of your neck all the way down
• 5:21:40
  to your lower back. We can do that a few times.
• 5:21:52
  Sometimes people use the knuckle or the you know, two
• 5:22:00
  fingers and just go your side of the spine, almost
• 5:22:06
  just push down, go all the way down to the
• 5:22:09
  bottom of the spine, each time releasing tension and opening
• 5:22:18
  up the body, stretching your body so that you feel
• 5:22:27
  more relaxed, but at the same time rejuvenated. And now
• 5:22:45
  I'm going to move to one side, to your right side,
• 5:22:54
  and from the bottom of your ribs to your pelvis
• 5:23:00
  the message that area of your back. I'll stretch over
• 5:23:06
  the other side and i will pull the muscles gently
• 5:23:11
  and massage and push from one end that side or
• 5:23:16
  the way to my side to the middle of fact
• 5:23:21
  to where your spine is. Massaging that side of your
• 5:23:26
  spine the opposite side to where I'm standing. It's almost
• 5:23:33
  like kneading bread. There's that big area which is firm
• 5:23:42
  yet lots there to message. Potentially one of the most
• 5:23:51
  important places to actually have a message because you feel it.
• 5:24:01
  You really feel the release and the pleasure of having
• 5:24:06
  your lower back massaged. It releases so much from your
• 5:24:13
  body that's not useful, starting a healing process which will
• 5:24:23
  continue long after this recording is over. The message in
• 5:24:37
  this part of your body not only feels really good
• 5:24:41
  for you, it's actually fun to do because it is,
• 5:24:46
  as I said, like kneading bread. It's a part that
• 5:24:51
  you can really get hold of and really massage deeply.
• 5:24:59
  If that's your then I'm going to move over to
• 5:25:09
  the other side of your body and do the same
• 5:25:15
  with the opposite part of your lawer back, kneading and
• 5:25:24
  messaging from your sides all the way to the middle
• 5:25:32
  of your back where your spine is pressing and kneading
• 5:25:46
  firm and gentle at the same time. It feels so
• 5:25:52
  releasing this mixture of pleasure, comfort, really lease, calmness, relaxation
• 5:26:05
  or mixed together. Plus there's that feeling from your stomach
• 5:26:15
  as it's being stretched. Even though you're in your stomach now,
• 5:26:21
  you can feel it being stretched because that whole area
• 5:26:25
  is connected to your stomach. Now we're going to move
• 5:26:36
  or move further up to your top of your body,
• 5:26:42
  and I we did the same this time, starting with
• 5:26:49
  your upper back, put my hands forward over and messing
• 5:26:55
  massage in that area to your spine, from the side
• 5:27:03
  of your body up to your spine. So some of
• 5:27:07
  that massage area, the muscle tissue or whatever fatty tissue
• 5:27:14
  even will be possibly from your chest because all connected
• 5:27:20
  chest and the back connect together. I'm going to be
• 5:27:26
  massaging and just pulling some of that skin from your
• 5:27:31
  side up and massaging that area of your upper back
• 5:27:42
  all the way to your spine. And then I'll move
• 5:27:49
  down a bit and I'll continue with the middle of
• 5:27:52
  your back, doing exactly the same thing as gentle or
• 5:27:59
  as deep as you choose. Now move the other side
• 5:28:13
  again and do the exact same thing with the top
• 5:28:18
  of your back on the other side, from pretty much
• 5:28:27
  underneath your arm area really to your spine, and then
• 5:28:41
  continuing that all the way down, including your lower your
• 5:28:48
  middle of your back. I'm gonna go to your thighs,
• 5:29:07
  the backs of your thighs, and the sides of your thighs,
• 5:29:17
  starting with your right leg. Massage in the back and
• 5:29:26
  the sides of your thighs gently and firmly. There's a
• 5:29:34
  lot of muscles there. It's an area that can be
• 5:29:38
  very tense at times and maybe needs a little bit
• 5:29:42
  more pressure than the rest of the body. That's up
• 5:29:46
  to you. You can gently stroke the back of your
• 5:29:56
  legs where you know opposite you're knee joint or underneath
• 5:30:02
  your knee joint, very sensitive, gentle area. And then working
• 5:30:15
  down to your calf muscles. Massage in your calf muscles
• 5:30:24
  thoroughly and deeply, if you choose, using both hands and fingers,
• 5:30:37
  digging deep to your ankles, in the back of your
• 5:30:52
  back of your ankles, just gently massage in that area.
• 5:31:03
  Maybe lifting the leg and stretching a little bit. Moving
• 5:31:21
  to the right foot, massage in the bottom of your
• 5:31:35
  feet and the side of your fate gently but firm
• 5:31:50
  enough so they don't tickle, and just allow the pleasure
• 5:32:02
  that you get from having your feet massaged to just
• 5:32:07
  overtake you. As I continue to message your feet, the
• 5:32:16
  bottoms of your feet, the sides, your arches, your heel.
• 5:32:27
  You can put a lot of pressure into your heel
• 5:32:30
  and it feels amazing, Yet the arches need to be
• 5:32:35
  a bit more gentle. Stretching your toes gently and massage
• 5:32:47
  in the bottoms of your toes with my fingers, each
• 5:32:53
  one individually. Moving her to the left leg to do
• 5:33:06
  exactly the same thing, starting at the top of the thighs,
• 5:33:17
  work in the back of the thighs and the sides,
• 5:33:22
  massaging deeply and gently the whole area, working all the
• 5:33:32
  way down. And this is an area that maybe you
• 5:33:45
  could like to spend more time relaxing and massaging. So
• 5:33:53
  perhaps if you wanted, I could make a future recording
• 5:33:59
  what's been more time on one particular area. As you
• 5:34:08
  move down to your calf muscles, massage in your calf
• 5:34:20
  muscles firmly and gently moving down your ain, cool into
• 5:34:35
  your feet, Massage in the backs of your feet, the
• 5:34:43
  bottoms of your feet, stretching your toes, and massage in
• 5:34:52
  each tone individually. And the feeling of pleasure and release
• 5:35:01
  that you experience when your having your feet massaged feels
• 5:35:08
  really good. Now just turn over in your mind. Laying
• 5:35:28
  on your back, I'm just going to start again for
• 5:35:41
  your neck area, in your shoulders, just to get back
• 5:35:55
  in touch with that area. And as you move up,
• 5:36:13
  I can clean my hands, make them more fresh, because
• 5:36:18
  now I'm gonna message your face gently, starting off with
• 5:36:27
  your forehead. Your eyes are closed, and I can just
• 5:36:38
  stretch your eyes a little bit, pushing up on your eyebrows,
• 5:36:51
  just massaging around, just scalp message, arging down your cheeks,
• 5:37:04
  around your ears, into your jaw, gently the side of
• 5:37:16
  your neck, your chin m hm, and just moving down
• 5:37:38
  from your neck down to your chest, starting by message
• 5:37:46
  in the very top of your chest where the collar
• 5:37:52
  bone is, either side of the collarbone, and then just
• 5:38:06
  message in the whole of the chest, moving the chest around,
• 5:38:28
  because it's quite a large area. You can move from
• 5:38:33
  one side to the next. Moving my hands underneath pretty
• 5:38:44
  much where your arms are stretching up, stretching some of
• 5:38:54
  the muscles of your back in the process, moving up
• 5:39:03
  over your chest and they're moving down again, and then
• 5:39:23
  allowing my hands to just massage gently and slide down
• 5:39:30
  towards your stomach, starting in the middle of your chest,
• 5:39:38
  and then gradually my hands moving apart and massage in
• 5:39:45
  and slide in at the same time, moving down to
• 5:39:54
  just below your red cage, moving down, then messaging up again,
• 5:40:13
  giving your chest all the attention that it needs to
• 5:40:21
  feel completely relaxed. Remembering that I'm also going to be
• 5:40:33
  focusing on your sides as well, an area that really
• 5:40:40
  doesn't get much attention, that feels really good when it's massaged.
• 5:40:52
  Just stroking my hands down the sides of your body,
• 5:41:00
  just below your arms, all the way down to your hips.
• 5:41:13
  Now move into your stomach area. We're going to stand
• 5:41:19
  one side of you like I did when I did
• 5:41:22
  your lower back. We go do a similar process of
• 5:41:28
  just stretching the muscles from your side, gently massaging from
• 5:41:43
  one side to the next, move in a whole area
• 5:41:52
  from below your ribs all the way down to below
• 5:41:56
  your belly button, and then move around to the other
• 5:42:05
  side of you and repeat that process of relaxing deeply, calmly.
• 5:42:24
  You feel loose, you feel free. And it's something about
• 5:42:32
  having your stomach message that's different from any other part
• 5:42:40
  because we do have a tendency of holding a different
• 5:42:45
  kind of stress in our stomach that we may not
• 5:42:49
  be aware of. As in our message your stomach in
• 5:43:00
  front of your stomach, making circles around your belly button,
• 5:43:13
  and then going the other way around. There's a gentleness
• 5:43:23
  and a freedom that comes from feeling how you're feeling.
• 5:43:34
  As I now move down the tops of your thighs,
• 5:43:41
  the muscles, massaging them, and I can do this two
• 5:43:47
  legs at the same time, pressing down, massaging deeply those
• 5:43:57
  muscles in your thighs, the front of your thighs, and
• 5:44:07
  moving down to your knees, gently massaging your knees, sliding
• 5:44:18
  down your shins, putting pressure on either side of your
• 5:44:23
  shin gently softly but firmly, moving down to your ankles,
• 5:44:41
  stroking the tops of your feet, and then with each
• 5:44:52
  foot in each hand, just gently messaging the whole of
• 5:44:58
  the foot, the top, the bottom, your heel, your ankle,
• 5:45:07
  your toes, messaging every part of your feet feels so good.
• 5:45:20
  Just let go and enjoy the process. Enjoy feeling so
• 5:45:38
  deeply relaxed, so much comfort, and so many feelings that
• 5:45:52
  come just from touching your skin. And you can just
• 5:46:08
  lie there for as long as you choose, enjoying the
• 5:46:18
  feeling of deep comfort and being massaged by me. Enjoy
• 5:46:39
  feeling deeply right. And all we're gonna do is blow
• 5:47:01
  out some candles. In your mind, there are gonna be
• 5:47:18
  a hundred candles, and you're going to blow each one
• 5:47:29
  out individually, one by one, starting at one hundred. As
• 5:47:40
  I count down all the way down to one, and
• 5:47:52
  each time I say a number, you can imagine that
• 5:48:01
  candle in front of you. I'd like you to actually
• 5:48:08
  physically gently blow that candle out, just so it's not
• 5:48:27
  big blows, just a gentle, and that candle will extinguish.
• 5:48:43
  And then I'll say the next number to move down,
• 5:48:51
  and you can just h blow that one out as well.
• 5:49:03
  And as we move down the numbers, you'll find yourself
• 5:49:13
  feeling more and more relaxed. If you need to sleep,
• 5:49:22
  you'll also find yourself becoming incredibly tired and sleepy. In fact,
• 5:49:34
  you may struggle to blow out all one hundred of
• 5:49:45
  these candles. As you feel more and more deeply relaxed,
• 5:50:10
  more and more deep tired, and the further you go down,
• 5:50:30
  the more your mind starts to drift. You may find
• 5:50:44
  that you stop listening to me after a while, and
• 5:51:00
  then maybe background sounds where you are. You'll be aware
• 5:51:09
  of those sounds at the moment, be me start to
• 5:51:24
  just not even notice them at all, because they're unimportant.
• 5:51:47
  Where I am, I've got the sounds of the birds,
• 5:51:54
  there's horrors, the pigeon who likes to say hello some times,
• 5:52:03
  and there's the odd plane that goes by, maybe traffic
• 5:52:12
  and trains in the distance, But none of that seems
• 5:52:23
  important whatsoever. More candles you blow out less important. Anything is.
• 5:52:45
  More candles you blow out, the further you seem to
• 5:52:57
  move away from sounds and from general date days, stuff
• 5:53:16
  seems to just move away on its own. You feel
• 5:53:31
  more calmer with every candle you blow out, guiding you
• 5:53:55
  the next number the hear me say, and then you
• 5:54:08
  blow that candle out to h So easy, so simple.
• 5:54:35
  We're gonna start by introducing the first candle. When she
• 5:54:49
  is a hundred, first candle s is one hundred. When
• 5:55:06
  you blow that candle out, you'll find immediately a slight
• 5:55:23
  change in how you feel, as well as a real
• 5:55:35
  sense of positivity growing within you, relaxation and sleepiness expanding.
• 5:56:06
  Starting with one hundred blowing out by candle now ninety nine,
• 5:56:54

  ooh and doy seven two.
• 6:53:00
  Speaker 7: Hm hm.
• 6:53:34
  Speaker 1: Caned or let go of all of those thoughts, worries,
• 6:53:53
  concerns about the past, thoughts about the future, and even
• 6:54:01
  things you've been thinking about today. Just let it all
• 6:54:05
  go because none of it is useful in this moment.
• 6:54:17
  This is your opportunity to just focus on feeling relaxed,
• 6:54:36
  allowing yourself to get in touch with that natural sense
• 6:54:45
  of peace that we all have within us. It's available
• 6:54:53
  for everyone. It just sometimes takes a little bit of
• 6:54:58
  effort to set up the right time and place in
• 6:55:06
  order for you to just let go. Because when you
• 6:55:12
  do decide to let go and relax, that's what your
• 6:55:20
  body starts to do because you've chosen, You've chosen to
• 6:55:29
  just allow your body to unwind and your mind starts
• 6:55:36
  to slow down. And it's a nice feeling. It's a
• 6:55:44
  nice feeling at the beginning, just to know that you
• 6:55:48
  have chosen to decide to relax deeply, and because you've
• 6:55:59
  made that this decision, your body will just follow suit.
• 6:56:07
  Because sometimes all the muscles in your body need is
• 6:56:12
  just permission from you to relax. Because so often we're busy,
• 6:56:22
  we're going from here to there, we're walking around, and
• 6:56:26
  we're doing stuff, and the body doesn't have any time
• 6:56:34
  or space to really relax deeply. So it kind of
• 6:56:42
  waits for you to lead the way, waits for your permission.
• 6:56:52
  And when you do give your permission, when you give
• 6:56:59
  to say so, we can say okay, it's time for
• 6:57:05
  your body to let go completely and relax totally. Your
• 6:57:15
  body just follows. It's like a breath of relief. Ah good,
• 6:57:24
  I can now relax. That feeling at the end of
• 6:57:31
  the day of a very physical day that you may
• 6:57:35
  experience in the past. But you get home and you
• 6:57:39
  just sit down on a chair, maybe you kick your
• 6:57:43
  shoes off, and ah, feels so nice knowing that you
• 6:57:49
  don't have to get up again for a little while
• 6:57:53
  at least if you choose, you can just sit there
• 6:57:57
  for maybe an hour to It feels blissful. And just
• 6:58:10
  by sitting down like that, your body knows that it's
• 6:58:15
  time to relax. Your body has been given permission from you.
• 6:58:23
  Because it's a mindset in your mind, you're prepared to
• 6:58:33
  let go of everything and just completely allow all the
• 6:58:43
  stress of your body to evaporate. Any tensions can just
• 6:58:52
  gradually vanish. It's almost like magic, really, because that sense
• 6:59:12
  of relaxation in your body, it's a very natural state.
• 6:59:20
  It's not something unusual. It may feel unusual when you
• 6:59:25
  first start to relax, if you if you haven't really
• 6:59:30
  spent a lot of time focusing and giving yourself this
• 6:59:34
  space to let go completely and relax. They seem are
• 6:59:39
  most alien, but it isn't. It's actually the most natural
• 6:59:47
  thing in the world to let go completely, to relax totally,
• 6:59:58
  the most natural thing in the world to allow yourself
• 7:00:09
  to feel really calm in your mind. And it is
• 7:00:17
  almost like a literal unwinding. It's like you press a
• 7:00:24
  button and all the tension just releases, and it's like
• 7:00:33
  a wheel, like a cog, like the inside of a clock,
• 7:00:37
  just unwinding. And it's almost like you could see the
• 7:00:42
  little wind up knob that's used just going the opposite
• 7:00:48
  way that you choose to wind it up, and the
• 7:00:54
  energy that fremetic stress for energy gradually winding down, losing
• 7:01:05
  its power, losing its strength. As a sense of relaxation
• 7:01:13
  becomes stronger and deeper, and you may find a the
• 7:01:24
  more relaxed you feel, that your mind starts to wonder,
• 7:01:34
  maybe seem to stop listening to me for a while,
• 7:01:40
  and your mind goes somewhere else, and then you realize
• 7:01:46
  you're listening to me again, and that was just your
• 7:01:52
  mind drifting to sleep, which is quite natural, sure, because
• 7:02:02
  sometimes when we're stressed and tense, we're not mean I
• 7:02:09
  actually be aware of what we need, what we physically
• 7:02:15
  or emotionally need in this moment. But when you allow
• 7:02:25
  your body and mind to relax completely and you let
• 7:02:31
  go of all thoughts, concerns, worries, ideas, all letting them go,
• 7:02:41
  allow them to drop onto the floor, you start to
• 7:02:52
  get in touch with the feelings of such relaxation. This
• 7:03:03
  feels so nice to be in touch with the calmness
• 7:03:11
  of the different body parts as they become looser and looser.
• 7:03:24
  Even your breathing seems easier and more natural, effortless, as
• 7:03:37
  that cooldenters through your mouth or nose into your lungs,
• 7:03:45
  breathing in comforts and relaxation, and in just breathing out
• 7:03:54
  any excess remain intentional stress from every part of your
• 7:04:03
  body and mind. And as you start to focus on
• 7:04:11
  your mind, maybe you notice that things have come to
• 7:04:19
  a standstill or maybe just much much lower than before,
• 7:04:30
  because your mind is not really needed when listening to
• 7:04:37
  my voice, which allows your mind to relax just as
• 7:04:47
  deeply as your body. And that's synchronicity between the relaxation
• 7:04:58
  of your body relaxation of your mind.
• 7:05:07
  Speaker 7: Let you know that.
• 7:05:10
  Speaker 1: Feeling completely calm, loose, and relaxed really is a great
• 7:05:24
  healing experience fear and has so many positive benefits for
• 7:05:41
  your body, mind, and your life. To be able to
• 7:05:47
  let go everything and to relax completely in all part
• 7:06:00
  of your body and mind. Even your bones as are relaxed,
• 7:06:11
  all your muscles are relaxed, even the skin that covers
• 7:06:24
  your body is relaxed, every hair that you have, it's
• 7:06:40
  also deeply relaxed, and your brain restarts to feel the
• 7:06:59
  benefits but this healing relaxation, and as you focus on
• 7:07:14
  the inside of your scalp where your brain is, you
• 7:07:20
  can start to realize and notice the benefits of your
• 7:07:28
  brain relaxing deeply. And then as your brain continues to react,
• 7:07:43
  sends those messages to the rest of your body and
• 7:07:52
  your mind to re reax deeply, relaxy more completely, letting
• 7:08:18
  go of any remaining thoughts or concens allowed them just
• 7:08:30
  to drop onto the floor because they're no longer necessary
• 7:08:38
  in this moment, In this moment of deep relaxation and calmness,
• 7:08:52
  filling your brain with deep concentrated heathing, calming, relaxing every
• 7:09:19
  part of your brain feething, so loose and comfortable, so relaxed,
• 7:09:40
  and be peaceful your brain feels so light.
• 7:09:52
  Speaker 7: That's so healthy.
• 7:09:56
  Speaker 1: In that sense of deep de comfort really does allow
• 7:10:06
  you to enjoy those ever increase in sensations of comfort
• 7:10:21
  that are spreading throughout your body, relaxing each and every
• 7:10:35
  muscle of your body, eat deeper and deeper, much more
• 7:10:51
  deeper than before.
• 7:10:58
  Speaker 8: Much oh.

  Speaker 1: Comfort spreading through your body, in your mind, be so
• 7:11:17
  peaceful and calm, so very very peaceful in avery part
• 7:11:36
  of your body, letting him go. Mm hmm a everything

  Speaker 1: Come so calm.

• 7:13:02
  Such peace and comfort through in all all the time,
• 7:13:14
  Such peace and comfort spreading through your body and mind
• 7:13:28
  deep and deeper, Such comfort spreading and sinking deeper into
• 7:13:44
  a muscle of your body, so that you feel amazing,
• 7:13:58
  so that so peaceful, so peaceful, letting go every I'm
• 7:14:29
  going to do a body scan, focusing on firstly how
• 7:14:36
  you feel in your body, not trying to change how
• 7:14:41
  you feel, not trying to relax, not trying to move
• 7:14:47
  away from any discomforts or stress or tension. Just accepting,
• 7:14:55
  observing and accepting how you feel the different parts of
• 7:15:01
  your body. Just allowing yourself to be exactly as you are,
• 7:15:11
  to notice, to get in touch with how you actually
• 7:15:20
  feel in this moment. I'm going to start off by
• 7:15:29
  focusing on your hands. Just be aware of your hands.
• 7:15:43
  I'd like you to move your hands around, just maybe
• 7:15:48
  move your fingers a little bit. I've been enclosing your
• 7:15:54
  hands very gently, just so that you can get in
• 7:16:02
  touch with how your hands and your fingers fell, very
• 7:16:15
  very slow movements. Focusing now on your feet, and if
• 7:16:33
  you can just do kind of an equivalent with your
• 7:16:37
  feet is you've just done with your hands, Maybe turn
• 7:16:44
  in your ankles, moving your feet around, moving your toes
• 7:16:52
  gently but only very gently, very slowly, noticing how your
• 7:17:08
  feet feel in this moment. Focusing now and your eyes,
• 7:17:24
  and I'd like you to just focus on your eyelids.
• 7:17:30
  Maybe you can open and close your eyes a couple
• 7:17:34
  of times to really get in touch with how you feel.
• 7:17:39
  When you do close your eyes, the muscle changes in
• 7:17:47
  your eyes when you do close them, Maybe raising your eyebrows.
• 7:17:56
  It stretches the tops of your eyes, perhaps squinting your eyes,
• 7:18:08
  scrunching up your eyes just so you can really again
• 7:18:13
  touch with all aspects of how your eyes feel right now,
• 7:18:36
  now focusing on your thighs, and you know it just
• 7:18:42
  starts you to gently tense your thighs, just very very gently,
• 7:18:53
  just enough so you can become more attuned to the
• 7:19:05
  physical sensation of your upper legs, the front of your thighs,
• 7:19:13
  and the backs of your thigh noticing and observing how
• 7:19:27
  your thighs fear. Right now, moving your focus to the
• 7:19:42
  back of your neck, just noticing the back of your neck,
• 7:19:50
  the muscles, and of course they lead to the side
• 7:19:56
  of your neck. They also lead to the top of
• 7:20:00
  your back, which leads to your shoulders. So as your
• 7:20:07
  focus on the back of your neck, maybe you can
• 7:20:13
  move your head gently upwards as if you're looking up.
• 7:20:21
  Maybe moving your head down as if you're looking down.
• 7:20:29
  Perhaps moving your head side to side, right to left,
• 7:20:36
  only very slowly, very gently. I'm not trying to force anything.
• 7:20:51
  It has to be very very gentle, just so that
• 7:21:00
  you can be more in touch with the feelings, with
• 7:21:12
  the sensations, the physical sensations of how back of your
• 7:21:21
  neck fields. Right now, as we now focus on the
• 7:21:40
  tops of your arms, the parts where your biceps and
• 7:21:46
  your triceps are between your elbow and your shoulders. To
• 7:21:54
  focus on those parts the tops of your arms, you
• 7:22:01
  may like to just tense them, but very very gently
• 7:22:11
  and slowly. See you're not straining or putting any pressure
• 7:22:21
  whatsoever on your arms. It's just slowly you can gain
• 7:22:33
  more of the sense of how your upper arms are
• 7:22:41
  feeling in this moment, and just noticing as you gently,
• 7:22:55
  very gently and slowly tighten the muscles and then let go.
• 7:23:09
  Notice how the tops of your arms feel right now
• 7:23:25
  as a now focus on your stomach, the area the
• 7:23:36
  lower abdomen area below your belly button, moving all the
• 7:23:43
  way down to your hips, just above your grind. Maybe
• 7:23:57
  you're able to tense these muscles in the area very
• 7:24:06
  very gently and slowly, if that's a difficult thing to do,
• 7:24:21
  and maybe you can just move your body, pushing your
• 7:24:29
  stomach up, maybe moving a little bit to the side
• 7:24:35
  using your hips, just so you can get more in
• 7:24:43
  tune with how you're lower appto an area is feeling
• 7:24:58
  in this moment. Just noticing the physical sensations or your
• 7:25:15
  lower abdomen as you move your attention to your mouth.
• 7:25:40
  Notice in your lips and inside your mouth, the teeth,
• 7:25:49
  your guns, your tongue, just noticing how your tongue in
• 7:26:05
  your mouth feels. It may help by moving your tongue
• 7:26:16
  around your mouth, moving it to your left, maybe pressing
• 7:26:23
  it gently against the side of your mouth, and then
• 7:26:30
  to the right, gently to the side of your mouth,
• 7:26:38
  perhaps pressing up against the top of your mouth, and
• 7:26:44
  then down gently against the bottom of your mouth, always
• 7:26:54
  very slowly, very very gentle, so that you can be
• 7:27:13
  aware of how you feel in your mouth area now
• 7:27:41
  and to focus on your wrists. And I'll ask you
• 7:27:58
  to maybe just routine your wrists by moving your hands
• 7:28:08
  in a circular motion very gently and slowly, just.
• 7:28:21
  Speaker 7: So that you can.
• 7:28:28
  Speaker 1: Feel the sensations that you are currently experiencing in your wrists.
• 7:28:51
  Perhaps move in your hands up and down very very
• 7:29:05
  gently and slowly, very gentzor and slow as you now
• 7:29:43
  start to observe your lower back. The bay part is
• 7:30:00
  just the bum of your hips where your coxis are
• 7:30:15
  a whole area which also really does include the side
• 7:30:22
  of your body because those muscles are very much connected.
• 7:30:33
  There's those muscles also move into your hip area connecting
• 7:30:40
  to your buttocks, the sides of your hips, and if
• 7:30:55
  you're physically able to do so, maybe even very gently.
• 7:31:08
  Just move your body ever so slightly, very slowly some side,
• 7:31:21
  decide just enough to gauge how you feel in your
• 7:31:42
  lower back. Perhaps it could even move your hips gently
• 7:32:00
  up and down gently, slowly, in order to be in
• 7:32:16
  touch with the physical sensations of your law back. As
• 7:32:43
  we now live, your attention to your jaw, that area
• 7:32:59
  for your chin hm, all the way up to near
• 7:33:04
  where your ears are. Of your jaw, you can just yeah,
• 7:33:23
  it's okay to do so. Gently open your mouth, not wide,
• 7:33:34
  no stretching, just very gently and slowly opening your mouth
• 7:33:49
  in closing your mouth very gently and slowly, so you
• 7:34:07
  can be in touch with how your joy feels. Now.
• 7:34:51
  I to sit now the chest area. You don't need
• 7:35:07
  to do anything to move your chest because it moves
• 7:35:15
  every time you breathe, and it moves very gently and
• 7:35:28
  slowly automatically with each breath you take. As you focus
• 7:35:46
  on how your chest feels when you breath, move in
• 7:36:32
  your focus to your forearms, your elbows. Maybe you're able
• 7:36:48
  to very gently that's slowly tense the muscles in your
• 7:37:01
  forearms and when you do that, you can feel your
• 7:37:11
  elbows as well, very gently and slowly, gently and softly
• 7:37:48
  obsad your forearms and elbows.
• 7:38:00
  Speaker 7: M No.
• 7:38:19
  Speaker 1: Focus the rest of your back, your upper back in
• 7:38:38
  the middle, the middle of your back again, this part
• 7:38:56
  of your body. News. Also every time you pray. You
• 7:39:11
  may not notice that. Usually mas you serve your upper
• 7:39:25
  back in the middle of your back. You can really
• 7:39:33
  feel that gentle and slow movement moving your focus.
• 7:40:30
  Speaker 7: Into your.
• 7:40:32
  Speaker 1: Area of buttees the grain. There's muscles and those bones
• 7:40:48
  in your midsection. Just noticing how your hips feel. Right now,
• 7:41:36
  you can very very gently move your hips, maybe side
• 7:41:52
  to side, very gently and a yeah, very softly. M No.
• 7:42:45
  Everything starts to slow down, include in the thoughts in
• 7:43:01
  your mind and your mind itself just starts to gradually.
• 7:43:13
  It doesn't have to be instant, but just gradually starting too.
• 7:43:21
  It's almost like time is straight chin. It's a slower
• 7:43:30
  pace to maybe what you're used to in your day
• 7:43:38
  to day life. It's a slower movement of energy, very
• 7:44:04
  small movements which make up the larger movements, which is
• 7:44:13
  always the case. Now, when you move your hand, it
• 7:44:21
  might seem like it's one movement but it's lots of
• 7:44:24
  minute different muscles moving in accordance with each other. And
• 7:44:37
  what happens in this space that we're sharing is we
• 7:44:49
  move from that big movement into those smaller movements. Starting
• 7:45:10
  to focus on how your body feels, not just as
• 7:45:21
  a whole, not just oh, i'm feel in this way.
• 7:45:26
  I'm feeling stressed or tense, or I'm feeling relaxed and calm.
• 7:45:33
  I'm feeling this way, I'm feeling that way. Starting to
• 7:45:40
  notice that your body begins to present to you small
• 7:45:52
  feelings around your body, small physical sensations in your legs,
• 7:46:11
  whether pleasurable or not. Maybe resisting the temptation to label
• 7:46:25
  them or to judge them those feelings, just thinking them,
• 7:46:35
  thinking about them is just being neutral, just feelings, not
• 7:46:48
  being particularly concerned, but just noticing what your body is
• 7:46:59
  telling you, the feelings in your arms, instead of feeling
• 7:47:13
  the hole of the arm, maybe notice those individual feelings,
• 7:47:23
  all those different muscles and the skin, the hairs of
• 7:47:35
  your arms, all the internal parts of your arms, the veins,
• 7:47:51
  the bones. Just being aware of maybe you're elbo on
• 7:48:00
  your right arm has a certain feeling, Maybe your left
• 7:48:09
  wrist also has its own individual physical sensation.
• 7:48:33
  Speaker 11: What about your forearm, on your right arm, your right forearm,
• 7:48:48
  there may not be any.
• 7:48:49
  Speaker 1: Particular feeling that you could even give a name to,
• 7:49:00
  may not feel like anything other than just a feeling.
• 7:49:05
  You know, it's there. The feelings in your shoulders, perhaps
• 7:49:18
  your shoulders when you think about them, kind of almost
• 7:49:21
  like they're the same, you know, the same feeling, almost
• 7:49:28
  like you both of your shoulders are just one thing.
• 7:49:33
  Of course they're not. And when you focus on your
• 7:49:44
  left shoulder and then on your right shoulder, maybe find
• 7:49:52
  that you move the muscles a little bit, maybe tense
• 7:49:58
  the muscles gently, noticing the difference in each shoulder. Your
• 7:50:24
  lower back, the left side of your lower back and
• 7:50:40
  the right side of your lower back of course that
• 7:50:51
  connection to your buttocks and to your hips, and also
• 7:51:04
  moving up into the middle of your back. And sometimes
• 7:51:18
  like right now, actually when I focus on their part,
• 7:51:23
  when I focused on my buttocks and then I focused
• 7:51:27
  on the middle of my back, it almost felt like
• 7:51:32
  the muscles in my lower back were being stretched very gently,
• 7:51:41
  just stretched a little bit. Even though I wasn't doing
• 7:51:46
  anything to try to stretch your lower back, it just
• 7:51:55
  seemed to happen. The feeling of very gently stretching your
• 7:52:08
  lower back comes along. I have feeling in your chest,
• 7:52:34
  just noticing what sensations you are experiencing in your chest
• 7:52:48
  right now. And there's so much of the chest. Obviously,
• 7:53:04
  there's the collar bone leading to the chest. You've got
• 7:53:08
  the chest bone, You've got the muscles in your chest.
• 7:53:19
  Of course, if you're female, there's possibly the breasts. Your
• 7:53:26
  male you've got the different well why not that different
• 7:53:34
  these days, but there may be more muscles at the
• 7:53:42
  top of the chest, but at the side underneath it's
• 7:53:49
  pretty much the same. Whether you're a man or a woman.
• 7:53:53
  There's muscles there, muscles that stretch out to your back
• 7:54:00
  as well as breast tissue. It stretches and moves into
• 7:54:03
  your back. To just being aware of your chest, being
• 7:54:27
  with whatever feeling there is in your chest. When I
• 7:54:47
  noticed I focus on my chest, I feel it in
• 7:54:55
  my back and my upper back. I mean, I I
• 7:55:00
  guess the obvious reason would be because you know, I'll
• 7:55:03
  breathe in in and it stretches my chest and my
• 7:55:14
  back at the same time. It feels it feels okay,
• 7:55:34
  it doesn't feel I got a little bit of pain
• 7:55:39
  in my right chest a little bit, not pain, but
• 7:55:46
  a little discomfort, maybe stiffness possibly, I don't know. I
• 7:55:56
  notice my shoulders also what into flex for some reason.
• 7:56:06
  I think that's probably part of my upper back, that
• 7:56:13
  connection between my shoulders and my upper back, because I
• 7:56:18
  can move my shoulders and stretch the muscles in my back,
• 7:56:26
  moving the shoulders backwards or up, which then moves. I
• 7:56:32
  think it's the scapulous in your back. It feels quite nice. Actually,
• 7:56:54
  a good thing about this is you can, if you
• 7:56:57
  want to, you can just flex or stimulate the various
• 7:57:11
  muscles in your body gently in order to get more
• 7:57:19
  of a sense of how they feel. And when you're
• 7:57:29
  relaxing and you do tense and muscle and you let
• 7:57:38
  it go and you let it relax, it relaxes way
• 7:57:45
  more than it would normally. That you have to feel
• 7:57:57
  that you're able to do that. There's no point doing
• 7:58:01
  it if there's an issue with the per part of
• 7:58:07
  your body. You need to be gentle with yourself at
• 7:58:16
  all times when relaxing deeply. It's important to be kind
• 7:58:31
  to yourself. As you notice your mind. How much has
• 7:58:47
  your mind slowed down since we started this recording? How
• 7:59:11
  came and peaceful is your mind right now? We have
• 7:59:26
  nothing to think about and just my voice to listen to.
• 7:59:36
  Because you know, the intention behind this recording is relaxation.
• 7:59:47
  At the very least, for you to feel more relaxed
• 7:59:54
  at the end of recording than you did at the beginning.
• 8:00:03
  At the very least, your mind to slow down because
• 8:00:15
  your body continues to relax, because that's what you want
• 8:00:31
  to happen. That's what you expect to happen, for relaxation
• 8:00:53
  to fill your body, maybe calm in your mind to
• 8:01:09
  the point of boredom. When you start maybe to drift away,
• 8:01:56
  it's almost as if you are moving further away from
• 8:02:06
  a body in your mind, just leaving that there, kind
• 8:02:20
  of liking it an escape pod and a spaceship a movie,
• 8:02:26
  a space movie, you know when they get into a
• 8:02:28
  little pard in it, since the man far away from
• 8:02:35
  the spaceship, safe to dream and continue to relax, drifting
• 8:03:43
  so slow and be so, oh, don't be so, and
• 8:04:51
  focusing on the feeving of those individual parts of your
• 8:05:05
  body that are relaxing one by one. You may find
• 8:05:24
  that every now and then you realize that you are
• 8:05:38
  listening to my voice because your mind started to imagine
• 8:05:49
  something different, maybe started to almost move, move into some
• 8:06:01
  kind of a dreamy state, and then you become aware
• 8:06:10
  of my voice again. And even though you may want
• 8:06:19
  to focus on my voice, you may also wish to
• 8:06:27
  allow your mind to just drift naturally into that space
• 8:06:39
  of comfort and safety. As you feel more comfort spreading
• 8:07:03
  through your body like a warm blanket covering you gently,
• 8:07:20
  keeping your body at just the perfect temperature. And even
• 8:07:38
  if you can hear background sounds, they just don't seem
• 8:07:50
  to matter anymore. As that's sensor. Peace spreads through your
• 8:08:07
  mind like a gentle breeze, yes, strong enough to blow
• 8:08:21
  away all negativity, strong enough to remove from your mind
• 8:08:41
  any anxiety or stress that was there before, and blow
• 8:08:56
  away any other thoughts for feelings that just don't fit
• 8:09:11
  with the sense relaxation that is feeling your body and
• 8:09:36
  your mind. Unless you focus on your mind and count
• 8:09:56
  down from ten down to one, and with each number
• 8:10:03
  you hear, your mind will become slightly more relaxed, just
• 8:10:30
  just slightly, from ten down to nine, just a slight
• 8:10:40
  movement from nine down to eight, just another small change
• 8:10:54
  in how you feel. Eight down to seven. That feeling
• 8:11:06
  is a gap, almost like a gap that starts to
• 8:11:12
  get wider, the gap between those feelings that you used
• 8:11:21
  to have in your mind compared to the feelings you
• 8:11:29
  have there growing now, feelings of comfort and security and confidence,
• 8:11:43
  and the gap becomes wider. Eight down to seven, seven
• 8:11:49
  down to six. When you get to five, the mind
• 8:11:58
  will start to have a certain physical sensation, most like
• 8:12:11
  there's a magnet outside of your head sucking the tension
• 8:12:18
  and stress and any remaining feelings that you don't want,
• 8:12:26
  sucking them out through your skull. And in down to
• 8:12:35
  four you can start to really experience that sense of
• 8:12:44
  not just emptiness, but space, a place full of fresh air,
• 8:13:00
  place where you can stretch. It's almost as if as
• 8:13:07
  you go down to four and three your mind is
• 8:13:11
  expanding with this sense of peace and tranquility growing as
• 8:13:26
  it moves down to When you get to one, your
• 8:13:33
  mind just feels exactly how you want to feel. It's
• 8:13:45
  almost perfect feeling, maybe the sensation that.
• 8:14:02
  Speaker 7: You'd like to keep.
• 8:14:07
  Speaker 1: A place that's safe, where nothing can affect you at all,
• 8:14:29
  and you can stay in that that space of comfort
• 8:14:34
  and confidence, confident in your own ability to create this
• 8:14:45
  space and this feeling of comfort within your own mind
• 8:14:52
  just by counting ten down to one. And this is
• 8:15:02
  something that you can do yourself when you're on your own,
• 8:15:12
  the time when you can maybe sit down, maybe just
• 8:15:16
  for a few minutes, close your eyes, just count slowly
• 8:15:29
  from ten down to one and re experience these feelings
• 8:15:43
  in your mind. And when you feel that way in
• 8:15:52
  your mind, your body copies your mind, and that feeling
• 8:16:08
  is spread through your spine and your nervous system into
• 8:16:15
  every part of your body, travels through your blood stream,
• 8:16:27
  heathing and relaxing every particle of your existence. And we
• 8:16:48
  can we can practice this a few times before the
• 8:16:57
  end of the recording, and then you can practice on
• 8:17:01
  your own. And each time you count for ten about one,
• 8:17:14
  the feelings of comfort, calmness, deep deep relaxation becomes stronger
• 8:17:27
  and deeper feeling your mind and your brain with these
• 8:17:43
  positive chemicals, the spread throughout your body, relaxing you so quickly,
• 8:17:55
  relaxing your whole body and mind so very very easily
• 8:18:08
  just by counting.
• 8:18:11
  Speaker 7: From ten.
• 8:18:14
  Speaker 1: Down to one.
• 8:18:20
  Speaker 7: So we're gonna do now.
• 8:18:22
  Speaker 1: I'm going to count from ten down to one. I'd
• 8:18:26
  like you to repeat the number after me.
• 8:18:30
  Speaker 7: So when I say ten, you can.
• 8:18:35
  Speaker 1: Just repeat to yourself ten. Just notice, be aware of
• 8:18:49
  how you feel in your mind and your body. Then
• 8:19:00
  when I say nine, you can beat to yourself nine
• 8:19:14
  a game, noticing the increase in comfort and calmness in
• 8:19:25
  your mind and in your body, the same when I
• 8:19:35
  say eight, when I say seven, six, when I say five, four,
• 8:19:54
  when I say three, two, And lastly you want to
• 8:20:06
  say one, you can bet that number. Now. Of course,
• 8:20:19
  when you do this on your own without listening to me,
• 8:20:26
  you can say the numbers or whatever speed that you
• 8:20:33
  feel is necessary for you, so you can adapt. So
• 8:20:43
  if you feel you want to say the numbers ten
• 8:20:47
  down to one faster than I do, then you go
• 8:20:54
  ahead and do that. Or if you feel when you
• 8:20:57
  do it yourself, do you like to have more more
• 8:21:03
  space between the numbers, maybe take a lot longer to
• 8:21:11
  get from ten all the way down to one, that's
• 8:21:21
  your choice also to do. So I'm gonna count from ten.
• 8:21:35
  Speaker 7: Down to one, and when I get to one.
• 8:21:44
  Speaker 1: That will be the end of this recording, unless, of course,
• 8:21:50
  you're listening with music, and the music will continue. Two
• 8:22:14
  nine eight fo.
• 8:25:00
  Speaker 12: Assassa Assassi.
• 8:26:33
  Speaker 1: Twenty ninety eighteen seventeen sixteen fifty fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,
• 8:27:59
  three two one. Now open your eyes, noticing how you
• 8:28:27
  physically feel having counted down from twenty to one, allowing
• 8:28:36
  stress and tension to leave through your fingertips and your tails.
• 8:28:42
  And as you focus on your fingertips, maybe they feel
• 8:28:47
  a little bit tingly, which is I suppose quite an
• 8:28:53
  understanding considering the tension has been exiting your body through
• 8:28:58
  your fingertips. So now I'm going to count from twenty
• 8:29:07
  down to one again. This time you get to feel
• 8:29:14
  relief of tension and stress and the anxiety that you
• 8:29:20
  may have leaving through your stomach. Just leaving through your stomach,
• 8:29:33
  almost as if it's just releasing the whole of your
• 8:29:39
  stomach enavl to just above your chest or below your chest,
• 8:29:45
  rather so surrounding your belly button area, the whole area.
• 8:29:52
  You can feel the tension of your body whatever's left
• 8:29:57
  just releasing on the area, and you may notice that
• 8:30:02
  your stomach will become very relaxed as I countdown from
• 8:30:09
  twenty down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven,
• 8:31:24
  six five four three two what And you can open
• 8:31:53
  your eyes again if you choose, but you just keep
• 8:31:56
  them closed because it feels relaxing. Just notice how your
• 8:32:02
  stomach feels. Notice there's your focus. Just do a little
• 8:32:07
  scan of your body. Just notice how your body feels.
• 8:32:14
  Focus in upper body, back, chest, stomach, legs, arms, hands, feet,
• 8:32:27
  Just noticing.
• 8:32:32
  Speaker 7: And you know, you may start to feel more a
• 8:32:37
  sense of.
• 8:32:38
  Speaker 1: Tiredness, which may be the reason you listening to this
• 8:32:44
  according because you would like to let go completely of
• 8:32:51
  everything and dread moll into a nice, natural, calm, relaxing sleep.
• 8:33:11
  So now we're going to focus on your forehead, and
• 8:33:20
  if you choose, you can incorporate your eyes in this
• 8:33:23
  focus as well. Your forehead and your eyes, it's that
• 8:33:30
  whole area basically, almost as if you were wearing a mask,
• 8:33:35
  you know, like a I don't know, a Batman mask
• 8:33:40
  or something, or.
• 8:33:43
  Speaker 13: I'm trying to.
• 8:33:45
  Speaker 1: Zorro or something, you know, the kind of mask that
• 8:33:47
  covers your eyes but also covers quite a lot of
• 8:33:50
  the forehead. We're focusing on that area because that's the
• 8:33:57
  area that we're now going to release tension, stress from
• 8:34:01
  your mind and your brain from your mind and any
• 8:34:07
  tension that you may have remain in your face, in
• 8:34:11
  your neck and your jawl, your eyes, your forehead, or
• 8:34:17
  your scalp. So basically any tension within your head area,
• 8:34:24
  including your mind and your brain that's going to be
• 8:34:31
  released through your forehead and your eyes. As I count
• 8:34:40
  down again from twenty down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine,
• 8:35:51
  eight seven six why war three two? What noticing and
• 8:36:37
  you scan your face with jaw, your eyes, the cheap bones,
• 8:36:45
  your ears, your forehead, your scalp.
• 8:36:52
  Speaker 7: Your neck, the back of your neck, in the front
• 8:36:56
  of your neck.
• 8:36:57
  Speaker 1: The side of your neck, and the throat.
• 8:37:01
  Speaker 13: Hm hm.
• 8:37:06
  Speaker 1: Noticing being aware of the comfort increased be in that relaxation,
• 8:37:19
  not just in your head and neck and mind, also
• 8:37:25
  the rest of your body. Just notice how loose and
• 8:37:34
  calm you feel, and how easily.
• 8:37:40
  Speaker 13: It is to just let go.
• 8:37:44
  Speaker 1: Completely, let go completely, how lead So what I'm gonna do, Valance,
• 8:38:10
  I want to focus on the top of your head
• 8:38:18
  and am We're going to allow every last piece of
• 8:38:25
  tension or stress that mind be lingering or hiding in
• 8:38:31
  your body or mind my.
• 8:38:35
  Speaker 7: Head to just be sucked out at the top of
• 8:38:41
  your head.
• 8:38:44
  Speaker 13: Released too.
• 8:38:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm gonna sucked out into the clouds.
• 8:38:55
  Speaker 1: Imagine to be cloud of God, your head almost like
• 8:39:00
  a whirlpool, and this is can suck that tension.
• 8:39:06
  Speaker 9: Out on the top of your head.
• 8:39:10
  Speaker 7: And just take it away.
• 8:39:13
  Speaker 1: Good your focus. Imagine an opening on the top of
• 8:39:20
  your head with a tension and stress and in remaining
• 8:39:26
  issues maybe worries of concerns that.
• 8:39:30
  Speaker 7: Have no use to you. Now you can all be
• 8:39:34
  sucked down at the top of your head.
• 8:39:37
  Speaker 1: I've taken away. As I count down again from twenty
• 8:39:44
  down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight.
• 8:41:16
  Speaker 14: Seven, six, five, four, three, one.
• 8:41:57
  Speaker 1: Three, noticing how you feel, how relaxed and calm you
• 8:42:16
  physically and mentally feel right now, how peaceful your mind feels.
• 8:42:34
  It feels so nice to just let go, to give
• 8:42:39
  yourself some space to breathe easily, to think calmly, and
• 8:42:53
  just to take a break from all that pointless worry
• 8:42:58
  and concerns about things that you don't need to think
• 8:43:03
  about right now, because this is your time to let go.
• 8:43:16
  This is your space to enjoy feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful
• 8:43:26
  in your mind, relaxed in your body. They can feel
• 8:43:33
  so good, so nice to just not have to do anything,
• 8:43:46
  to be able to really enjoy that serenity that comes
• 8:43:56
  letting go completely, that peacefulness that comes with.
• 8:44:09
  Speaker 7: Being in this.
• 8:44:12
  Speaker 1: Peaceful space. And you can keep this sense of calmness
• 8:44:23
  for as long as you choose. If you choose to
• 8:44:34
  drift off into a deep, healing, natural sleep, then you
• 8:44:42
  can do that. It's completely up to you, and you
• 8:44:53
  can keep this feeling of calmness physically, mean in your mind,
• 8:45:00
  as long as you choose to feel completely relaxed, completely relaxed.
• 8:45:18
  Speaker 7: And I'd like you to make up your mind.
• 8:45:23
  Speaker 1: That you're going to relax, and I want to explore
• 8:45:34
  that with you. What it feels like when you actually
• 8:45:39
  decide that you're going to relax, not forcing yourself, but
• 8:45:46
  giving yourself that. Yes, it is a command, really, isn't it.
• 8:45:53
  When you're telling yourself relax in a gentle but firm
• 8:46:00
  way that only you can really tell yourself in that way.
• 8:46:08
  You can't really have someone else saying to you, now
• 8:46:10
  it relax, relax, you know, and it needs to be gentle.
• 8:46:17
  But you can't someone else can't really have the same
• 8:46:24
  the same kind of influence or power that you have
• 8:46:31
  over your own physicality, over how you feel, because when
• 8:46:43
  you say it to yourself, it means more. It's personal,
• 8:46:50
  and your brain and your unconscious mind and your body
• 8:46:57
  listens to what you say. So for example, we'll test
• 8:47:03
  it out. We'll do a little test. I do little
• 8:47:06
  tests along the way, and you can get more of
• 8:47:10
  an idea of the force, a positive force that you
• 8:47:16
  can have in creating a sense of comfort and relaxation
• 8:47:24
  in your body and your mind quite quickly just by
• 8:47:30
  you telling yourself to relax. So I'm going to start
• 8:47:41
  by it's focus on your hands. To focus on your
• 8:47:47
  hands and just tell your hands to relax, and just
• 8:47:51
  say relax. As you focus on your hands, you could
• 8:47:59
  say my hands are relaxed, or I want my hands
• 8:48:03
  to relax. But I think if you actually do it
• 8:48:07
  directly by focusing and imagining that your hands can hear
• 8:48:16
  what you're saying, you know.
• 8:48:17
  Speaker 7: Like they've got little ears, which is a little weird.
• 8:48:22
  Speaker 1: So talking to your hands and just say relax, nodin.
• 8:48:39
  Speaker 7: Now your hands start to relax.
• 8:48:53
  Speaker 1: Now, focus on your eyes and tell your eyes to relax.
• 8:48:58
  You're just saying the same word, relax, and find the
• 8:49:03
  right tone for you. You know, I might say relax,
• 8:49:11
  but you you might say relax or relax. You know,
• 8:49:19
  you might say it differently to yourself, and that's important
• 8:49:26
  for you to gauge what feels right for you. To
• 8:49:32
  just tell your eyes to relax whilst focusing on your eyes,
• 8:49:38
  your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eyebrows, and
• 8:49:43
  just tell your eyes directly relax now. Now, I just
• 8:50:18
  did that myself, and sometimes you may feel that you
• 8:50:29
  need a bit more time or the different parts to relax,
• 8:50:35
  you know, because I start talking again and maybe that
• 8:50:39
  part hasn't relaxed fully. But what will happen is that
• 8:50:43
  it will just continue to relax.
• 8:50:45
  Speaker 7: Even though I'm talking.
• 8:50:47
  Speaker 1: And that's happened with my eyes. Something else I noticed
• 8:50:53
  is when I started focusing on my eyes, that actually
• 8:50:58
  almost became They got worse before they got better in
• 8:51:01
  a way. So I felt a degree of tension growing
• 8:51:05
  in my eyes and then disappearing. So I think what
• 8:51:11
  that was really was just me becoming more aware of
• 8:51:16
  the tension that was already there that I wasn't. I
• 8:51:21
  wasn't focused on it before, so I wasn't really acknowledging
• 8:51:27
  it or really conscious to those feelings. Yeah, my eyes
• 8:51:44
  is still continuing to relax, as well as my hands. Actually,
• 8:51:51
  my hands have got a certain kind of energy, like
• 8:51:57
  not buzzing, but I can kind of the funeral a
• 8:52:02
  degree of energy in my hands. Maybe that's where the
• 8:52:07
  tension is being released. Maybe that's causing that. The next part,
• 8:52:20
  I think we should focus.
• 8:52:21
  Speaker 13: On the back of the neck.
• 8:52:23
  Speaker 1: That's a part which is quite often well for me,
• 8:52:27
  holds tension. I don't know about it for yourself, but
• 8:52:31
  I think it's quite a standard place where tension is
• 8:52:35
  sometimes held. So, and I'm doing exactly what you're doing
• 8:52:42
  as you do it as well, so I'm telling my
• 8:52:45
  body parts to relax as well.
• 8:52:48
  Speaker 7: So if you tell your neck at the back of your.
• 8:52:50
  Speaker 1: Neck, focus on the back of your neck and just
• 8:52:53
  say relax in your own words and tone in your
• 8:53:01
  own voice.
• 8:53:02
  Speaker 13: You can say out.
• 8:53:03
  Speaker 1: Loud, or you can just say it to yourself internally,
• 8:53:07
  but you're focusing it, and you're saying it literally to
• 8:53:12
  the back of.
• 8:53:12
  Speaker 7: Your neck, as if the back of your neck can
• 8:53:15
  actually hear what you're saying, So do that now, just
• 8:53:22
  say it lacks to the back of your neck.
• 8:53:26
  Speaker 13: And I did the same.
• 8:54:06
  Speaker 1: And what I noticed and you made that similar thing
• 8:54:11
  is even though I was focusing on the back of
• 8:54:14
  my neck, other parts started to I don't know, showed
• 8:54:26
  themselves to me or maybe because they want to be
• 8:54:29
  relaxed as well. But I started.
• 8:54:31
  Speaker 15: Noticing the feelings in my shoulders, attension in my shoulders.
• 8:54:36
  Speaker 7: And in my upper back.
• 8:54:40
  Speaker 1: Whether that was because my back of my neck was saying, well,
• 8:54:46
  I'm pretty much okay, it's the other parts that need attention,
• 8:54:57
  but my lobe, my back of my neck is relaxing.
• 8:55:02
  But I just became more aware of other parts that
• 8:55:04
  needed attention. Now, this might happen and it's not. It
• 8:55:13
  doesn't mean that it's going wrong.
• 8:55:15
  Speaker 7: It just means you're.
• 8:55:17
  Speaker 1: Being notified of more places that also want to feel relaxed.
• 8:55:27
  So I'm going to focus on my upper back.
• 8:55:31
  Speaker 7: So you can do the same. Even if you don't
• 8:55:35
  have any.
• 8:55:37
  Speaker 15: Feelings of tension that are obvious in your upper back,
• 8:55:42
  you just focus on your back and the whole area
• 8:55:47
  from the shoulder blades down to the middle of your
• 8:55:52
  back and the spine, and with me, it's more.
• 8:55:56
  Speaker 1: The shoulder blades.
• 8:56:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the parts that really sort of giving me.
• 8:56:10
  Speaker 9: That want.
• 8:56:12
  Speaker 7: That it needs relax in sounds, go to ask that
• 8:56:15
  part to relax, and you can do the.
• 8:56:17
  Speaker 13: Same now.
• 8:56:29
  Speaker 1: Relapsing up the bank. There's something strange happened there.
• 8:56:45
  Speaker 7: And this often happens, and been doing this for.
• 8:56:51
  Speaker 1: Over sixteen years or something, and often I'm one surprised,
• 8:56:59
  amazed really that there can be a feeling. So when
• 8:57:05
  I was focusing on the back of my neck, my
• 8:57:09
  other back was starting to feel quite stressed and in
• 8:57:14
  need of attention. As soon as I started talking to
• 8:57:19
  you about my upper back and talking about getting ready
• 8:57:25
  to ask the other back to relax, why the back
• 8:57:30
  already started to relax. It's almost as if it doesn't
• 8:57:36
  need to hear the words, just needs attention, just needs
• 8:57:46
  to be noticed. That is something that often happens in
• 8:58:00
  this type of situation is when you start to relax
• 8:58:08
  a couple of.
• 8:58:09
  Speaker 7: Parts of your body, as we've done with.
• 8:58:12
  Speaker 1: Our hands, eyes and the eyelids, and now.
• 8:58:19
  Speaker 13: Back of the neck, top of the bag, up the back.
• 8:58:28
  Speaker 1: The rest of the body seems to just take notice
• 8:58:35
  and decide in its own way to start relaxing. Other
• 8:58:43
  parts of your body start to just become looser. I
• 8:58:53
  suppose it's kind of like a bit of an avalanche,
• 8:58:56
  you know, the little ball starts rolling in and before
• 8:59:01
  you know it, the whole of your body is completely
• 8:59:03
  relaxed and can't And if you focus on your face,
• 8:59:21
  you focus on your eyes, the eyelids, your eyebrowns, and
• 8:59:28
  the muscles around your eyes. Maybe you start to notice
• 8:59:37
  that your forehead is more relaxed than it was. Maybe
• 8:59:44
  your face is more relaxed. I would say my entire
• 8:59:50
  face is a lot more relaxed than it was. So
• 9:00:05
  you're going to focus now on your shoulders again, just
• 9:00:11
  like before. Just tell your shoulders.
• 9:00:14
  Speaker 7: I mean you can't do them in the digital.
• 9:00:17
  Speaker 1: You can do the right shoulder and your shoulder.
• 9:00:20
  Speaker 7: I just can't do both at the same time.
• 9:00:25
  Speaker 1: Just tell your shoulders and you focus on them in
• 9:00:28
  your mind, focus on how you feel. Maybe you can
• 9:00:34
  see them in your mind's eye. Just tell your shoulders.
• 9:00:45
  Speaker 7: To relax as nice as they relax.
• 9:01:35
  Speaker 1: But did you notice, especially with my back, is the
• 9:01:44
  connection between the different parts the back, the shoulders, the.
• 9:01:50
  Speaker 16: Neck being away connected and being such a large heart
• 9:02:00
  of your body, it's almost.
• 9:02:04
  Speaker 1: Hard to separate them from each other. And my luwer
• 9:02:12
  back is starting to relax on the same.
• 9:02:21
  Speaker 13: Maybe you're going.
• 9:02:22
  Speaker 1: Too slow, and that could be an issue because we
• 9:02:28
  all go at different speeds. And the idea at the
• 9:02:34
  beginning of this recording was for you to be able
• 9:02:37
  to just say to yourself, relax, without focusing on any
• 9:02:53
  particular part of your body. Because when you know that,
• 9:02:59
  teven your hands to relax, and your hands relax. You
• 9:03:11
  tell your eyelids and your eyes, the muscles around your
• 9:03:18
  eyes and your eyebrows to relax, and they relax.
• 9:03:33
  Speaker 7: You tell the back of your neck.
• 9:03:39
  Speaker 1: To relax, and it relaxes.
• 9:03:54
  Speaker 7: You tell your alpha banckter rags.
• 9:04:12
  Speaker 13: And diver axes.
• 9:04:21
  Speaker 1: I tell you you shoulders rags.
• 9:04:36
  Speaker 7: They When you told your hands to relax, they relaxed.
• 9:05:04
  Speaker 13: And they continued.
• 9:05:07
  Speaker 7: To relax.
• 9:05:13
  Speaker 1: When you told your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes,
• 9:05:20
  your eyebrows to relax, they relaxed.
• 9:05:29
  Speaker 7: And continued to relax.
• 9:05:38
  Speaker 13: When you told at the back of your neck us
• 9:05:42
  on the back of your neck.
• 9:05:47
  Speaker 1: And told it to relax, they relaxed and continued to relax.
• 9:06:07
  And you told your auca back to relax, be relaxed.
• 9:06:16
  He continued.
• 9:06:20
  Speaker 7: To relax.
• 9:06:29
  Speaker 1: That's with your shoulders. You told your shoulders to relax.
• 9:06:35
  Speaker 12: In your.
• 9:06:38
  Speaker 1: Shoulders relaxed and.
• 9:06:40
  Speaker 7: Continued to relax.
• 9:06:53
  Speaker 13: And it's not just that, it's.
• 9:07:00
  Speaker 1: But the rest of your body is also in listening,
• 9:07:06
  and their relaxation has been spreading. So from your eyes,
• 9:07:13
  the relaxation spread to your forehead, around your face.
• 9:07:20
  Speaker 7: Into your skin, into your jaw, into.
• 9:07:33
  Speaker 1: The front and sides of the neck, all the way
• 9:07:37
  down your chest and stomach, your relaxed hands and shoulders,
• 9:07:50
  and meats.
• 9:07:50
  Speaker 7: Up through your arms, relaxing the forearms, your upper arm, elbows, wrists.
• 9:08:05
  Let you know, did no obay.
• 9:08:18
  Speaker 1: The Hicks attics bline.
• 9:08:22
  Speaker 7: You just start to relax and continue comfort spreading through
• 9:08:31
  your legs four way down to your ankles, the tops
• 9:08:46
  of your feet, the side of your feet, and the
• 9:08:51
  bottoms of your feet, relaxing.
• 9:09:01
  Speaker 1: Into your toes.
• 9:09:06
  Speaker 13: Each tone relaxing, go.
• 9:09:15
  Speaker 1: Loose, and if your body relaxes warmth, your mind becomes slow, peaceful.
• 9:09:54
  Speaker 7: To the point where if ch.
• 9:10:01
  Speaker 13: To fall safe.
• 9:10:07
  Speaker 7: Easily do that easy dr doing because there's nothing going
• 9:10:25
  on in doing.
• 9:10:30
  Speaker 1: To phrase, it's peaceful.
• 9:10:40
  Speaker 7: You want your teams' right with that connection between your body,
• 9:11:15
  Relaxing the word.
• 9:11:18
  Speaker 1: You say to yourself.
• 9:11:22
  Speaker 7: Relates means that you don't need to focus on just
• 9:11:33
  one part. You can just focus on your entire body.
• 9:11:48
  Speaker 1: Saying powerful word wakes and deserve those familiar sensations of
• 9:12:14
  comforts spreading throughout your body, loosening and calming.
• 9:12:30
  Speaker 7: And heaving.
• 9:12:35
  Speaker 1: Every power to your body, heaving.
• 9:12:42
  Speaker 12: More.
• 9:12:46
  Speaker 13: List all we need to do now just tell your sorry,
• 9:13:11
  y dig leet.
• 9:13:26
  Speaker 7: Now starting now with number twenty.
• 9:13:55
  Speaker 1: Nineteen sixteen.
• 9:14:30
  Speaker 7: Sixteen fIF.
• 9:15:00
  Speaker 9: Assassa fot.
• 9:16:16
  Speaker 13: You well.
• 9:20:00
  Speaker 12: Attatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata hssst.
• 9:27:35
  Speaker 1: One two.
• 9:27:50
  Speaker 7: Camps down from ten to one ten eight.
• 9:28:01
  Speaker 1: Seven, six, five four three two one. And maybe that
• 9:28:26
  was a bit too quick in order to relax. Maybe
• 9:28:30
  it's too fast for you to notice the calming of
• 9:28:37
  your body, maybe even a little bit of pressure there,
• 9:28:44
  Like you're counting.
• 9:28:46
  Speaker 7: Down from ten to one.
• 9:28:47
  Speaker 1: What do you expect me to do that? Expect me
• 9:28:50
  to stick all with floppy just because you're counting down.
• 9:29:00
  You try again, It's time go this lower, It's time
• 9:29:08
  you focus on the whole of your body before we
• 9:29:13
  go it on your legs. Just notice how your body
• 9:29:20
  does start to feel more relaxed.
• 9:29:33
  Speaker 7: Every number that I count down ten nine.
• 9:29:51
  Speaker 1: At eight, seven, six, five.
• 9:30:26
  Speaker 7: Four three.
• 9:31:09
  Speaker 1: One, I just notice how how you feel generally, how
• 9:31:26
  your body feels.
• 9:31:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's not.
• 9:31:34
  Speaker 1: Necessarily even about.
• 9:31:37
  Speaker 7: Yea counting down from ten to one.
• 9:31:45
  Speaker 1: It's that space that you have, that space between being
• 9:32:02
  active physically or mentally.
• 9:32:07
  Speaker 13: It's just.
• 9:32:12
  Speaker 7: Sitting or lying down, just being.
• 9:32:15
  Speaker 1: There, not doing anything, not saying anything, or deeding to
• 9:32:21
  think about anything.
• 9:32:24
  Speaker 7: So it opens up of space, you know, a bit
• 9:32:27
  of a space, the gap. And the more I came
• 9:32:38
  down from ten to morrow, the bigger that gap becomes.
• 9:32:46
  Speaker 1: So there's that gap of calmness, of comfort and relaxation,
• 9:32:58
  some nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or discomforts
• 9:33:12
  physically or emotionally, moves them.
• 9:33:17
  Speaker 7: A way.
• 9:33:24
  Speaker 1: Allows you.
• 9:33:28
  Speaker 12: To just.
• 9:33:31
  Speaker 7: Slow down.
• 9:33:35
  Speaker 1: So i'ming to count again from ten down to one,
• 9:33:38
  and notice that gap widening, the gap, and this it widens.
• 9:33:49
  It's almost like that the stress and attention it falls.
• 9:33:54
  Speaker 7: Into the gap. It gives you that distance, that space
• 9:34:20
  ten nine, five.
• 9:34:40
  Speaker 1: Seven, six, five.
• 9:35:16
  Speaker 9: Four three.
• 9:36:10
  Speaker 5: What how did you.
• 9:36:24
  Speaker 12: What did you do? Now?
• 9:36:41
  Speaker 7: Can you not just do you feeling?
• 9:36:44
  Speaker 13: Come see.
• 9:36:56
  Speaker 7: Last focusing that's fox. Just can start with focusing one
• 9:37:43
  of the signs. It's not the most exciting thing to
• 9:38:03
  be doing because I'm sure like most of.
• 9:38:09
  Speaker 13: Your body is not not going wrong way now.
• 9:38:21
  Speaker 7: Just focusing a hole of your buyers, the tops of
• 9:38:28
  your bids, the sides of the bi boss biers, out
• 9:38:36
  of thighs in the bus. Basically hold your buy that leads.

  Speaker 7: And goes down to.
• 9:38:54

• 9:39:10
  and the strongest muscles doing body and in the bights.
• 9:39:25

• 9:40:20
