Tidying Up | LMBYTS #1427 | Jason Newland | 3rd September 2025 · Let me bore you to sleep (Jason Newland)

0:01
Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to Jasondewland dot com. My name's Jason Newland. This.
0:15
What's he doing? This is let me boy you to sleep.
0:22
Before I started this recording, then he was cuddled up
0:28
to me on the sofa, just chilling out. As soon
0:34
as I start talking, literally I'm getting a thing set up,
0:39
getting a microphone put there in front of me and
0:42
all that stuff. The second I start talking. As soon
0:45
as I say hello and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com,
0:50
he jumps off and goes and finds something to chew on.
0:58
It is the same as when he's like down, because
1:01
you'll probably end up at the end of this recording
1:06
back here lying down next to me. And as soon
1:09
as I say, well, thank you for listening, Remember to
1:12
be kind to yourself, blah blah blah, lots of love, bye,
1:21
it jumps up. So I don't know why. I think
1:32
it might be because you're a dog. I don't know.
1:40
I don't know. So it's Wednesday. I don't know what
1:48
day of the month. What month is September? Yes, definitely September, Thursday,
1:56
the third of September two thy and twenty five. It's
2:03
currently eleven minutes to nine PM, m hm, I haven't.
2:19
I haven't made a recording since Saturday. Not really felt
2:29
particularly well, not not really yeah, not not yeah, just
2:41
not not felt great. So I'm still not feeling particularly great.
2:46
But I thought, because the statistics are so ridiculously bad
2:53
on my podcast statistics, I thought I'd better make a
2:57
recording because literally, honest, today, according to the stats right
3:06
now so far today, bearing in mind, is only three
3:12
hours or four hours left, because I think it starts
3:14
at one in the morning, but let's say it's just
3:17
over three hours left of the day. One hundred and
3:22
seventy four downloads, So my podcasts have been listened by
3:31
maximum one hundred and seventy four people in a whole day. Now,
3:43
I'm not bragging, obviously that's really low. That's like, now,
3:51
I'd be pleased with that. Probably the first few months,
3:57
maybe even the first year or two of making recordings,
4:02
I wouldn't. But you know, I'm just saying it's like,
4:05
potentially it's one hundred and seventy four people. That's quite
4:09
a lot of people. But I always thought that maybe
4:23
some of my older stuff might be listened to if
4:27
I don't make a new recording every day. But doesn't
4:33
seem to be the case, which you know, it's fair
4:37
enough whatever, because you know, we want what we want,
4:44
don't we or we like what we like. And I
4:48
suppose it would be kind of weird in some ways
4:54
listening to a recording from two thoy and nineteen, for example,
5:02
because I'm talking about things, very different things to what
5:07
I would talk about now, and there'd be a different
5:13
animal running around making noise. I remember this one time,
5:20
I was sitting over there. I'm pointing. It's not useful, really,
5:24
is it? When you can't see what I'm doing, but
5:26
see the other side of the room. And I'm at
5:30
my table and Andre, my little ferret, has got strategically placed.
5:41
I think about five different carrier bags dotted around the room,
5:47
and he's literally running from one to the other, rolling
5:51
around in it, making as much noise as possible, and
5:54
then running over to the next one and making as
5:57
much noise. Like the really crinkly carrier bags, ones that
6:01
perhaps you get from a petrol station, you know, the white,
6:05
white white. They might not be white, but they're particularly crinkly,
6:10
or maybe you get your takeaway in them, if you
6:14
get a takeaway meal or something just you know, like
6:18
the really cheap, flimsy ones that basically you can't hold
6:24
much in them. You wouldn't use it to go on
6:29
holiday with, you know, to packing all your gear and
6:31
all your stuff in. I mean generally you shouldn't be
6:35
taking gear on holiday. Depends depends how you use that word.
6:40
I suppose you could get arrested. Rah. So yeah, I
6:49
that might be weird to listen back to those recordings.
6:53
It might even be weird for me because I have
7:02
started when I've started as and I've never done it.
7:05
But over the last few months, I've been listening to
7:10
my recordings a bit more often, just to get a
7:13
sense of what it's like to listen to me me me,
7:26
and I do send myself to sleep, and I've noticed that,
7:36
even if it's just for a nap, I kind of
7:40
feel better afterwards. So it's kind of yeah, I mean
7:50
it's not the best. Is it a litmus test what
7:54
I call it? But you know, doing it on myself.
7:57
But there's someone of the garden showing that drummy. I
8:29
don't know who that is. I don't know what drummy
8:32
is with h weird drummy? What's drummy? Maybe it's a cat.
9:05
Oh when I was in London. Well, here she goes again.
9:14
Really weird because the window is open. Vinnie's just noticed it.
9:19
He didn't even notice it, but normally that gets embarking.
9:23
Hears sold in the garden shouting. We're not shouting but
9:27
calling rather. Maybe Vinnie was just like slightly looking around, thinking,
9:44
who's making more noise than me? How dare they? Ah,
9:50
he's loving that. Wow. It was ever a nap a
9:54
little while ago, about an hour ago, half seven, and
10:05
he woke me up and he just stared at me,
10:09
started licking my face and basically pushing me because he
10:15
wanted me to get up. So in the end I
10:17
said okay, and I go to take the covers off
10:21
and he's pushing the covers on me, so I can't
10:23
get the covers off. But make your mind up. You
10:26
want me to get up or you don't want me
10:28
to get up. But I think what he wanted was
10:35
like a little fight, you know, a little playtime. So
10:40
we had a little play He does this thing where
10:49
he just stares. It's really weird waking up to that stare,
10:56
just like just you know, and then he turns his
10:58
head from side to side. Sometimes it goes all the
11:02
way around and it's just like just stairs and I'm like,
11:07
what do you want? And then other times he completely
11:12
ignores me. You know. I try and give him something,
11:15
a little bit of food or something which I know
11:17
he normally likes, it'll turn his head away. I don't
11:25
think I'm never going to figure it out. What was
11:37
I going to say? What else? I don't know. Oh, yeah,
11:53
I've been tidying up the last few days. Well I've
11:57
been tidying up for about a month okay, three years,
12:08
but being focused on it for about a month, and
12:12
they're not they're not focusing on it. It kind of
12:16
all started when I decided to ask my neighbors downstairs
12:23
if they'd helped me to put my TV onto the wall.
12:27
I already had a bracket, bought a bracket like two
12:31
three years ago whatever when I got the TV four
12:34
years ago, I think, so they came up the bracket
12:41
was too small, so and I'm thinking, oh, because I
12:49
had this it was originally well, I had the TV
12:54
on top of a wardrobe, but it was like I
13:01
had the wardrobe on inside and it was just the
13:05
right size to hold this TV. Because it's quite a
13:07
big TV but also down. But I took the door
13:12
off the wardrobe and it left me with that big
13:18
bit in you know, the space. And Andre used to
13:23
use that space for his play area, so all his
13:27
toys was in there, his water and his food. I
13:32
also used it for Vinnie for his water and food
13:34
as well, and it was just a good place to
13:38
have stuff that could be his stuff. And I kind
13:45
of kept it. So I had it like that for years,
13:54
even though I had the bracket. I kind of liked
13:59
it as it was because it suited the situation, you know.
14:08
And then more recently I decided I didn't want that
14:12
thing here anymore. I wanted it gone, and I wanted
14:17
to it just seemed a little bit cluttered in here
14:22
in this room, in the living room, a little bit
14:26
a little bit too too much stuff. It's not really
14:32
but two what I mean is I don't like stuff.
14:37
I don't like obstacles in a room. If possible for me,
14:45
this is my personal preference. I like things to be
14:48
on the near the wall, so the area between the
14:56
walls is kind of clear clear I'm not talking about empty,
15:01
but clearish, so I can get out from here and
15:08
walk over to the door and not have any obstacles
15:13
and not have to walk around anything. In the same way,
15:19
I wouldn't have a table in front of my chair.
15:23
And I've got reclined chair. And before you're thinking, wow,
15:28
he's doing well for himself, he's got a big reclining sofa.
15:34
This is probably about nine hundred years old. It's not
15:39
even it's like probably fifth hand, not secondhand. It's been
15:45
through I don't even want to know where it's been
15:46
in the past, and its falling apart. It's broken in fact,
15:53
but it's relatively comfortable, so I'm going to keep a
16:00
bit for a while longer. I've only had it, probably
16:06
only had it only for a few years. Well, I
16:09
probably have had it for about five years. It's ridiculous
16:17
and it only seems like a couple of years, but
16:19
maybe five or six years. I've had this because I
16:23
used to have a reclining chair, which was I can
16:27
tell exactly. It's about one hundred and forty nine pounds.
16:29
It was. I liked that chair, but I broke it
16:32
on the very first day. Before you shout out, what
16:37
what did you do? Sit in it? Your big fat
16:40
bum like OI would be rude to me pretty much.
16:44
It really yeah, And there was one time where I
16:48
sat I was sitting in it and I leant back
16:52
and the thing did break and I got trapped whilst
16:55
I was doing a recording. It wasn't on camera, but
17:03
I literally got trapped backwards against the wall. In fact,
17:14
I'm still there now help. A similar thing happened in
17:19
a shop. Where was that shop? Wow? Where was it?
17:29
Because I went into this shop and they had these
17:33
chairs way out of my price range, but they were
17:37
really really nice chairs and also kind of mechanical. I
17:46
think some of them had like message and things like that,
17:51
you know, and electrical reclining. I think they were basically
18:02
for very elderly people. I think that's maybe people with
18:09
physical I don't want the right word, is the correct word,
18:18
that need a bit of help physically to kind of
18:21
to recline and stuff like that. Because my Nan had
18:27
a chair because she was disabled. I don't want to
18:29
use the word disabled. But it's not it's not a
18:32
swear word, is it. I'm disabled just mentally, I'm not
18:36
not physically. My Nan was disabled because she broke a
18:40
hip and she had this chair which used to not
18:53
only did it recline, it unclined. I'm not sure if
19:00
that's the right word. She could, she could sit down.
19:05
Sitting down wasn't really difficult for her. Getting up was
19:10
so he used to help her get up, used to
19:13
push her out culor hands cutlor hands would just like
19:18
appear from behind and push her out of the chair. No,
19:21
it would kind of mechanically straighten up, which would help
19:26
her to get out of the chair, which is amazing.
19:30
I'm not sure what they're called. It's a very expensive chair,
19:35
but it was really good and she didn't like it.
19:46
She didn't I think when she first got it, because
19:51
she had two chairs and a little table in between,
19:55
and there was a sofa the other side of the room.
19:57
This is when she had the sheltered accommodation. So I
20:03
should explain what sheltered accommodation is for people that don't
20:07
live in the UK. It might be the same term
20:10
wherever you are, but it was basically what happened is
20:16
she broke a hip in two thousand and two thousand, No,
20:26
in yeah, two thousand and one summer, and she was
20:34
still she was living in the house where she lived
20:38
with my granddad for many years, but there were stairs,
20:45
and she went back to the house continued to live
20:49
her life. Finny, can you make a bit more noise please? Thanks?
21:00
He always does as well, whenever say that, it always
21:03
makes bore noise. Very clever. She Yeah, she went back
21:09
to living there because she she loved that house. That
21:17
was her at my granddad's house. It was a family
21:21
house because we lived there before they did, so it's
21:23
always had always been in the family, and that was
21:28
her home and she would have had it to be
21:31
her home forever, you know, for the rest of her life.
21:36
But then she was struggling with the stairs, and then
21:44
she unfortunately broke a hip again and the other I
21:51
think it was the other hip, and then I might
22:01
not have the timeline correct, but I think then she
22:06
kind of had to move somewhere where there was no
22:08
stairs and where there was at least someone that could
22:12
look out for her, somewhere where there was someone on call,
22:18
you know, someone was there most of the time. But
22:21
she still had her own independence. So this flat she had,
22:29
well I'm sure there was some upstairs flats as well,
22:33
so it wasn't just for people that were needed ground floor,
22:37
but she had it's mainly ground floor she had. I
22:43
think they even had couples living there. But she had
22:47
his flat one bedroom flat, and there was a bedroom
22:55
which is quite small, like it was big enough for
22:59
the bed, a wardrobe, built in wardrobe, and that's about it.
23:06
So there wasn't, you know, not ideal if for someone
23:13
that was stuck in bed, or someone that was in
23:17
bed a lot of the time, that would not be
23:19
an ideal flat. But I suppose technically you could just
23:24
put the bed into the living room so there would
23:27
be a lot more room. So you know, it depends.
23:30
You've just got to kind of figure a way around it,
23:32
I suppose. So she just did what I did in
23:38
my bedroom. Okay, that sounded weird, but I mean as
23:42
far as she just slept in there and then wasn't
23:46
in there the rest of the day. She was out
23:48
in the living room. And I'm the same. I don't
23:52
spend any time in my bedroom other than when I'm
23:54
in bed. Now, some people listen to this might think yeah,
24:00
and everyone else as well, everyone does that. Well, not necessarily,
24:09
because in the past I lived in many, many, many
24:19
many rooms where all it was was just a bed,
24:25
sometimes a table and a chair. So I would watch TV.
24:33
I would live in a room. You know, I'd be
24:36
going out to work, then i'd get home and I'd
24:40
be in that room. Another weekend, I'd be in that
24:43
room the whole time unless I went out. And yeah,
25:02
I'm just just I guess trying to explain it. It's
25:05
like I got used to living like that. I lived
25:11
like that for a long long time, pretty much most
25:20
of my adult life until I was forty five, so
25:28
you know, for nearly thirty years I lived like that.
25:32
There's been times when I didn't, but most of the time,
25:39
you know, I've had a couple of studio apartments, never
25:42
had a flat before like this, not like this, like
25:49
a council flat. I've lived in. I've lived in flats,
25:53
I've lived in different places, but most of where I've
25:57
lived has been in one room in a house like shared.
26:02
What do they call it multiple occupancy MBOBOM multiple occupancy
26:13
property MOP MOP. I don't know there's a certain term
26:18
for it. It didn't used to be. It just used
26:20
to be somewhere to live. How they've got terms multiple
26:25
occupancy property MOP. It's a MOP A game, multiple occupancy
26:36
of mom, occupancy of multiple om M. I don't know.
26:46
So that's kind of how I lived my life for
26:51
nearly thirty years old and off, so I was used
26:59
to it and when I moved in here, because that's
27:06
how I was. I mean, yes's how I was living before.
27:09
Before I moved in here, I was just in one room,
27:13
and and before that, I was in one room. And
27:23
before that, I was in one room. And before that,
27:28
I was in one room. Although I did that, I
27:31
did have access to a living room downstairs. And before that,
27:36
I was in one room, and before that, I was
27:40
in a studio apartment, so it's still one room. Before that,
27:52
I was in one room. Before that, I was in
27:55
one room. Before that, I was in one room. Before that,
28:00
I was in one room.
28:04
Speaker 2: BlimE me.
28:05
Speaker 1: Before that, I was in one room. No, I was
28:08
sharing a flat, so it was a living room and
28:12
I had a bedroom, so I was sharing a flat
28:14
of a friend. Before that, I was in one room.
28:21
Before that, I was in a blame me, I was
28:32
sharing a room with someone. Before that I was, I
28:38
was in one room. There was a living room, but
28:40
I didn't use it. I basically just used to sort
28:43
of spend all my time on my own in the room.
28:46
So yeah, I lived in one room. Before that, I
28:52
lived like shared a house. I was just renting a
28:56
room in the house. But I was friends with a person,
28:59
so you know, it wasn't so much just living in
29:02
one room. Before that, I was living in one room
29:05
for four years. And then before that, I was living
29:12
in one room. There's quite a few rooms. Yeah, I
29:15
before I was living in one room. Before that, I
29:18
had a studio, a little studio thing, so it was
29:22
one room. So yeah, and before that, I was in
29:28
a room, but I could use living room because I
29:30
was staying at my dad's and before that it was
29:33
his previous house as well. So again I had a
29:36
bedroom and it was only for a few couple of months,
29:40
about three months, and I stayed there, but I could
29:44
use the living room. So I kind of wasn't really
29:47
stuck to one room. But I did used to do
29:50
that because I've watched TV and stuff so when I
29:52
was working. So yeah, before that, I'm doing quite wellly
29:58
I'm going back to all different rooms. So before that
30:02
I was living oh oh yeah, I was in London,
30:07
so again, so I was in one room. Before that,
30:15
I was just staying with someone temporarily on the couch.
30:22
Before that I was living. It was a weird setup
30:28
because me and a friend rented two rooms. I had
30:38
one room, he had the other room. And this was
30:41
in a house and I had the bedroom and he
30:46
had the living room or we used his bedroom as
30:51
a living room. I don't know. It's kind of a
30:53
strange setup. But previously that I was living, I was
30:59
living in a room with him. There was two beds,
31:05
so I was sharing a room, sharing a room. I'll
31:11
be honest with you, I don't know how many should
31:12
do it, but yeah I did. I shared a room
31:15
for it wasn't long, it was I don't think it
31:19
was more much more than a month or so. Before that,
31:26
I had a room, one room, but that room that
31:30
we shared of just one room. So yeah, before that,
31:34
I was in just one room. And before that, I
31:37
was justing, well, I'm just going to figure this one out.
31:43
To move from there? Where did they moved to there from?
31:49
Speaker 3: Oh?
31:53
Speaker 1: Do do do? I can't remember? Oh? Okay, Yeah, I
32:00
was sharing. I was living in someone's flat. I was
32:04
sleeping on the floor while a little basically cushions made
32:08
from the sofa from the sofa cushions, so it wasn't
32:15
really a home as such. And before that I was
32:23
living in a room. And before that, this is very repetitive,
32:27
isn't it. Before that, now this isn't This isn't the same,
32:37
This isn't organized correctly. Wait a minute, before that, before that? Before?
32:52
Where was I?
32:53
Speaker 2: Before that?
32:57
Speaker 1: I'm losing track of where I am now, okay on Yeah, yeah,
33:11
that's weird, not fair enough. So before that I was
33:16
in a room. And then because yeah, I went to
33:23
Spain for the day and then got kicked out there.
33:29
So before yeah, so before that place, I was living
33:38
at my dad's for a little while for a couple
33:42
of months. And before that I was living in a room.
33:55
Before that, I was living in a room. And before
34:02
that I was living in a flat above the co
34:07
op supermarket. That was what nineteen eighty eight, and I
34:17
had a room. I mean, there was I s I've
34:20
I always I spent most of my time in my room,
34:22
but there was a l there was a living room
34:24
there as well, sort of a TV and stuff. But
34:26
I've always kind of preferred to just be on me
34:29
own anyway, So that would be I thought I quite
34:33
liked living there. Well, it was handy cause it was
34:36
downstairs the walk. In fact, I think I was later.
34:40
I was getting getting to it later than I was before. Yeah,
34:47
And then going back I was Yeah. Then before that
34:54
I was living at my dad's again for a little while.
34:59
Then f I'm going backwardsn't I Wow? Then before that
35:03
I was living at the chip shop, so I had
35:12
my own flat. I'm going to have missed. I've missed
35:18
some of the things out, but it's fine. And then
35:22
before that, I can't remember every single place I've moved
35:26
around so many. Oh, I've missed the whole I've missed
35:31
a chunk out. There was another place I lived in
35:36
a council flat. This was a few years back, and
35:41
I had a room. It was a weird. It's quite
35:46
a sad story, but I want to tell you the
35:47
whole story. But it was Jim, my friend Jim who
35:50
I worked with, and he just said, you want to
35:56
move in. Lovely man, really lovely and really got on
36:01
well with him, and I worked with him for a
36:06
little while and then I didn't see him for Yeah,
36:17
I didn't see him, probably just a couple of weeks.
36:19
I didn't see him because it's something that happened at work.
36:21
And then I see him outside of work, and he's
36:23
like saying, well, things aren't going so well, and he's
36:29
wants to try and rent his room out. So I thought, well,
36:32
I'll help him out. He's helping me out as well.
36:35
And yes, I moved into his council flat. Spent most
36:40
of my time in the room when I wasn't working.
36:43
But I didn't have to. You know, I could have gone,
36:46
well I did. I always went and said low to him.
36:48
I didn't. The thing is he was he liked to drink,
36:53
but he was he was. He was a nice person,
36:56
whether sober or drunk. He was just just a really
36:59
nice person. And but I didn't back then, I never
37:05
drunk alcohol. Yeah, because I was what was I um
37:14
bum ba bum bum bum. I was nineteen. Yeah, I
37:24
was nineteen at the time. I didn't didn't never was
37:27
still a teenager. I didn't just drink. Just didn't drink.
37:30
Wasn't wasn't something I did. And then yeah, So going
37:39
back in further to the chip shop, I lived above
37:43
the chip shop, so I did have my own living room.
37:48
So the bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom had to
37:51
share the bathroom with the public, the customers from downstairs,
37:56
which wasn't ideal, and eventually I moved pretty much everything
38:06
into the living room and I just it's weird. So
38:14
I ended up just sleeping on the floor. I sold everything,
38:19
I dozed. It's one of those things. I ended up
38:21
with nothing but a few tapes to listen to, Michael
38:25
Jackson tapes and a few little bit of clothing and
38:28
that was it. And then before that, I was sleeping
38:34
on the floor. Well it was a little camper bed
38:37
in another council flat where I yeah, that was when
38:46
I was fifteen, and then I turned sixteen, so I
38:53
was there from what kind of I don't know, early
38:57
summertime and till March the next year, so nineteen eighty seven,
39:07
and I just basically slept in the living room. So
39:13
I mean, technically, you know, I did have a TV
39:15
in my room, but unfortunately, when I turned it on,
39:22
my step mother's or my step grandmother, my step mother's
39:26
mother would come in and turn it off, which wasn't
39:32
ideal because you know, I'd bear in my mind, I
39:34
was what fifteen years old, sixteen years old, and I
39:40
just got back from work, didn't finish work till nine
39:44
I'll get back from work and then We're going to
39:46
bed and I want to watch some TV. So I mean,
39:57
maybe I had the TV on too loud. Well I'll
40:01
keep getting told I did. But she would just walking
40:05
and just turn it off. It was like, really, wow,
40:10
it was Yeah, it's not easy, but then it wouldn't
40:16
have been easy for her. She was used to living
40:18
on her own, so well, yeah, she was used to
40:23
living on her own, so it must have been weird
40:29
having me there. And then before that, I was living
40:34
in a room. I was living in a room at
40:40
the top of this right at the top of the house.
40:43
This is the family house, the new Land family House,
40:50
and we were there from nineteen seventy nine till nineteen
40:58
eighty six, so they're seven years and so I was
41:08
in the room at the top of the bit of
41:11
the top of the building. I had a TV for
41:16
the last year I lived there, probably about a year.
41:21
Oh man. I fell in love with that TV. It
41:25
was so obviously it changed my change my life, just
41:29
being able to watch for the first time, not the
41:33
first time, because I could watch what I wanted on
41:35
TV provide there was no one else in the house,
41:38
you know, and that was rare. The only programs I
41:43
got to watch that I wanted to watch on the
41:47
main television in the living room was generally the kids
41:53
programs because both my brothers were older than me and
41:59
they didn't watch that stuff anymore. So I was able
42:04
to watch that. And then my little brother was old
42:08
enough and he wanted to watch the same stuff, and
42:10
I'd end up watching it with him, things like Musket
42:13
Hounds and.
42:17
Speaker 4: I don't know, I.
42:17
Speaker 1: Can't remember different Muppet babies, things like that, and then yeah,
42:27
what was it? Terror Hawks? Wasn't that one as well?
42:30
Terror Hawks? He Man? Danger Mouse? Mini Mouse? Was that
42:41
Mini Mouse? Danger Mouse? Anyway? Remember that Danger Mouse? Great show?
42:54
Mister what's the one? And he had lots of different
42:58
gadget Gadget Man, wasn't it Gadget It Man? That used
43:01
to be good Pink Panther. So there used to be
43:05
lots of things, and I'd watch them with my little brother,
43:09
a couple of my favorite things on a Saturday morning.
43:13
We'd watch these and then continue to watch these when
43:15
we moved again out of that house for you know,
43:19
a few months. Saturday Morning Muppet Babies. But there was
43:24
the Wide Awake Club that would be on during the
43:28
holidays and on weekends. I'm not sure about Sundays, but
43:33
definitely on a Saturday morning, and I would get my
43:40
brother to wake me up. I just say to look,
43:44
wake me up. Wait, wait, because you know, I didn't
43:51
necessarily want to be woken up on a day, you know,
43:56
like normal weekday, but on a Saturday morning. It was
43:59
a good started a day because I always worked on
44:01
a Saturday. But I liked I liked being woken up
44:08
at seven o'clock or six thirty or something like that
44:12
because I could just watch the cartoons with my little brother.
44:20
And I kind of knew that that time was coming
44:23
near to an end because he was, you know, he
44:31
was heading off to a different part of the country
44:34
with and I kind of that little period of time
44:39
of us sort of sitting there watching cartoons was a
44:44
valuable time for me, I guess. And yeah, it was
44:51
like what was it the Fragle Rock, Fragle Rock, Muppet Babies.
44:59
And then of course you at the Wide Away Club,
45:01
we're wired a week. It's good to know you're already
45:05
and we're wired a week. Do do do, Let's get
45:08
see go. That's fairly by the way. That noise in
45:16
the back ground, ohtho before that, I was downstairs in
45:29
a different room, which was a much bigger room, which
45:33
ended up being my little brother's room. So we kind
45:36
of moved around around him really as he got older,
45:44
because to start with, when he moved when we moved there,
45:46
he had which you would probably classes like the box
45:50
room if it had big enough for a bed. It
45:52
was a small room, but it was big enough for
45:54
a bed and toys and stuff. But he was tiny,
45:58
you know, It's just it was like a year old.
46:01
So he had that area. And then when he got
46:03
to about, oh, I don't know what year it was,
46:09
I would argue and I wouldn't argue, but I would
46:13
say probably probably the last two years of my schooling
46:25
I was upstairs. Bearing in mind that a year last.
46:32
Heck of a long time, you know, at the age
46:38
of fourteen, a year is It's not a quick period,
46:43
is it. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on which way you
46:46
look at it. So it might have been two years,
46:52
but it might have been less because I'm thinking seventy nine,
46:58
eighty eight, eighty three. Yeah, I'm thinking probably about in
47:04
nineteen eighty three, maybe nineteen eighty two, but I'm thinking
47:10
nineteen eighty three was when I went upstairs to the
47:15
other room, which means I was only there for two years.
47:21
I got more memories of being up there than I
47:23
ever being down in the other room, which I was
47:27
probably there for longer, BlimE me. So yeah, I think
47:36
the only reason he really moved into the bigger room
47:38
probably because he had his toys were getting He was
47:42
getting more and more toys, so we needed more space,
47:47
and also because I think my stepmum wanted a solarium
47:52
or sunbed in that room, and so yeah, I think
48:01
that's that's what everything kind of changed around a bit.
48:04
So what happened is our games room upstairs, where we
48:09
had a snooker table or Paul table was it Paul,
48:14
I don't know, but also a tennis table went over it,
48:18
and I think my granddad made that, and then we
48:26
had music player and sort of sofa, so we'd kind
48:30
of hang out up there, take friends a dance board
48:33
as well, have friends up there. That got taken away,
48:41
well got taken away, but that that kind of got emptied.
48:44
So my oldest brother, who was living in the room
48:47
I ended up in, moved and I moved into his room,
48:54
and then my little brother moved into my room that
48:58
I was in before, which was arguably the best room
49:04
in the house, the best bedroom out of all of ours.
49:08
And the reason I say that just because of the
49:10
light and a lot of light coming in, and it
49:14
was bigger than the other my other two brothers rooms,
49:21
because the one I ended up in was a lot smaller,
49:25
although I actually liked it. I liked that room. And
49:29
then my other brother's room was kind of probably I'm
49:34
not sure, maybe even smaller than mine, maybe the same size,
49:37
I can't remember. I liked the room upstairs. I think
49:43
I liked because it was upstairs. It was a bit
49:45
out of the way, no longer, I don't know. It
49:52
was nice to it's sort of like a little bit
49:54
of privacy kind of. Yes, I'd probably in that room
50:02
for about two years. So anyway, So before that, I
50:12
was in the little room in my NaN's house where
50:18
my we moved to as a family first time as
50:23
a family in nineteen seventy eight, I think it was
50:28
or nineteen No, it's about nineteen seventy eight, so you
50:33
moved there. I had my own bedroom for the very
50:38
first time in my life. It was amazing, and my
50:45
other two brothers had bunk beds because I had a
50:48
much bigger room. My room was again kind of like
50:51
a box room, and that's where my little brother would
50:56
have ended up if we had more rooms, but we didn't,
51:00
so we had to kind of move out because my
51:02
little brother was living in me or when he was
51:04
born in the August of seventy eight, he's he was
51:10
in the bedroom with my with the parents. And it's
51:17
weird because we're nice to visit my name and sometimes
51:20
I'd stay over and sleep in her house and I'd
51:24
sleep in that that bedroom and to this day, it's
51:35
still the best bedroom I think I ever slept in.
51:43
And being in there next to my nan is and
51:53
when I was in there before, I was next to
51:55
my dad. You know, my parents were next to it
51:58
when I was. They were they kind of my new
52:01
parents really, But there was that safety safety not issue,
52:05
but safety factor. There was that kind of feeling more safe,
52:11
and I always had that as well with my nan.
52:14
I felt safe when I was in her company and
52:19
sleeping in that bed in that little room, my original
52:24
first bedroom, even at the age of thirty nine or
52:30
whatever I was, I can't remember how when my nan
52:36
moved into the place, but I was in my late thirties.
52:43
Speaker 4: No, I.
52:45
Speaker 1: Think the last time I remember sleeping in that place,
52:48
and it might not be the last time, but the
52:50
last time I remember, which was at Christmas, which was
52:53
two thousand and four, when I was thirty four years old,
53:00
So that's twenty six years. The twenty six year kind
53:13
of period of sleeping in that room kind of. But
53:18
you know, it wasn't that often. I mean sometimes I
53:22
would sleep in the big bed. I once spent a
53:27
whole week with them when my non and grandad were
53:31
both my granddad were still around, and I slept in
53:34
a big bed, and I think they at that time
53:38
they were using the small room. I'm not quite sure
53:41
what for I think, and this is a weird memory.
53:44
I think my men had like a sewing machine in there.
53:50
What weird memory. And then before that, so before that,
54:01
living in that house when I was like so, I
54:06
had actually I didn't have my own TV. And I
54:10
didn't spend time in that room other than when I
54:12
was playing or when I was in bed, you know,
54:14
so I'd be downstairs watching TV. I still have the
54:20
memory of when we were packing up and getting ready
54:26
to move to the new house and everything was moved
54:32
pretty much apart from the beds. In fact, I think
54:38
we might have even been sleeping bags. Literally everything was
54:42
packed away to be moved. There was in all the
54:47
rooms were pretty much empty and just sitting on or
54:54
standing at the window sill in my brother's bed room.
55:01
My two brothers had bunk bits in there and just
55:04
looking out at the motorway because we had a motorway
55:08
in the back, and she's looking at the guard and
55:12
then kind of it felt weird, and I was eight
55:18
years old, but I kind of I feel it was
55:20
quite I don't want to I was a thinker. A thinker,
55:28
I don't know. I think I used to think about things.
55:32
I mean, I'm sure everyone thinks about things, but I
55:34
used to just really contemplate, like what does this mean?
55:43
I used to do that sometimes when you know, when
55:47
I was around my family, like what does this mean?
55:50
What we're doing now? What does this mean?
55:52
Speaker 5: Was?
55:53
Speaker 1: What's the meaning of this? And sometimes I just hear
55:56
it always saying, like, especially if I verbalized it, said,
56:01
it's just a piece of lettuce, Jason. It's just it's
56:04
on your plate. It's part of the sealad you can
56:07
eat it or not, it's up to you. You don't have
56:09
to eat it. There's plenty of other bits, you know.
56:11
There's tomatoes, there's cucumber, there's other things on there. There's
56:17
some cheese. You don't have to eat the lettuce. I
56:21
was like, okay, wow, you know I have to go
56:25
to put a spotlight on media and she'd say, sorry
56:30
about that, and she turned the light off.
56:33
Speaker 6: But that was weird. So I'm trying to think what
56:45
did I do?
56:48
Speaker 1: Did did do? What? What? What? What? What?
56:56
Speaker 7: Oh?
56:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, So before that, I can't even remember. I know
57:02
where he was. Were in a house with the new parents.
57:14
The two kids were two brothers, rather older brothers, and
57:19
the step mom the step grandparent rather sorry. So there
57:24
was one, two, three, four, five, six of us in
57:28
this house. I don't remember anywhere that I slept. I
57:33
can't remember exactly where it was, but we weren't there
57:38
for long. And then before that, so I probably shared
57:45
a room with my brothers possibly, So before that, I
57:50
lived in a dormitory with quite a few other kids.
57:59
And before that I lived in the dormitory with other kids.
58:08
Before that, I lived in My memory is I lived
58:14
in a flat, council flat in Newcastle now I don't remember,
58:25
and the sleeping arrangements, although I've got kind of a
58:29
little outline on outlay of the flat in my head,
58:36
which is kind of weird. But then I might have
58:38
lived in more than one flats. It might be a
58:40
mixture different flats. But I definitely didn't have me on TV.
58:48
I know that for a fact. And in the children's
58:55
homes we had a room for TV, so there would be,
59:01
you know, a TV room or a lounge or something,
59:09
so that would be there. I'm just trying to think
59:15
maybe the girl that made me the or the lady
59:21
that tickled me during the Planet of the Apes movie,
59:28
that might have been a Newcastle, because for some reason,
59:34
I've got more of a kind of there's more color
59:39
in that memory than there is in the South End one.
59:45
For me, that's just very kind of very gray ish.
59:50
And my memory of watching TV there was it'd really
59:57
be whatever the nuns wanted to watch, and they would
1:00:00
sit around watching Crossroads or Emmerdale, I think, and it'd
1:00:09
be on and then it'd be time for bed, not
1:00:11
not for them but for us, and that would be
1:00:15
like six o'clock, six point thirty something like that. Maybe seven.
1:00:23
I don't. I don't know, but it was very early,
1:00:25
bearing in mind I was twenty five, Yes, it's very early.
1:00:30
And then before that anyway, so before that, going backwards
1:00:37
from new Castle, yeah, so in the council flat, and
1:00:46
then before that I remember, yes, I didn't would have
1:00:53
had a TV then so well, just shared rooms with
1:00:58
my brothers. Before that, I can't remember. There was a house.
1:01:03
I remember this house. It was a terrace house. Is
1:01:07
it a terrorists house for or just one one connected
1:01:09
to another for as long as the eyes can see.
1:01:16
And I was in a place like that. I don't
1:01:17
know where it was, whether it was in London, whether
1:01:21
it was in Newcastle. Apparently my oldest brother he was
1:01:26
not apparently, but he told me that we were in
1:01:29
Scotland for a while.
1:01:30
Speaker 8: So.
1:01:31
Speaker 1: He remembers a lot more than I do, because he's
1:01:34
four years older than me. Not that I've conversed with
1:01:39
him about it, not for a long time. He kind
1:01:43
of filled me in twenty odd years ago, kind of
1:01:47
got together and he told me some stuff. And before that,
1:01:56
I don't know, moved around a bit, so I didn't
1:01:59
have I lived in one room most of the time
1:02:05
as an adult, as a kid, I suppose, you know,
1:02:11
it's just standard living in a room, either with my
1:02:14
brothers or sharing a room with other kids. But I
1:02:19
didn't have my own room until I was seven eight Sorry,
1:02:25
no seven, Yeah it was I was four. I was
1:02:32
just four. I was eight, So yeah, that's when I
1:02:34
got my first room. Yeah, my first room. I loved it.
1:02:42
I love, love, love loved it. I so loved it.
1:02:47
I loved that house. I did just everything about it.
1:02:52
It was just great. It was it's brand new. There
1:02:58
was nothing to do, you know. I mean when we
1:03:02
moved to the next house, which was this big, old,
1:03:06
derelict part of the pass, and it was a dure
1:03:13
upper as it were, and that was horrible. Like I
1:03:16
didn't It's like it was permanently in a in a
1:03:21
like being rebuilt. Like there was always at least one
1:03:26
room that was being redecorated, it seemed, and yeah, all
1:03:33
the garden. And it's okay because that's something my dad
1:03:39
used to enjoy doing, but none of us did. It's
1:03:44
you know, it's just everyone's got their own hobbies and
1:03:47
their own likes, and I guess it was frustrating for
1:03:52
him being in this new build, this little place of
1:03:57
a little garden, which for me was nice size garden.
1:04:00
But he he wanted to be doing things, and he
1:04:03
wanted to probably want to be knocking through doors, and
1:04:07
he wanted to be redoing stuff. And that's not something
1:04:13
that I really was interested in doing. I was still
1:04:17
han't painted this place. And I've been here for ten years.
1:04:22
Huh about the time I put a carpet down. Now
1:04:27
I've got a carpets worn out now between Andre and
1:04:31
Little Vinnie. This carpet is well and truly worn. Need
1:04:39
a new one. I don't know how I got talking
1:04:45
about rooms, But I don't know how I got talk
1:04:53
about rooms. I really don't, But yeah, when I moved
1:04:56
in here, I decided that's what I was talking about.
1:04:59
When I moved in here, I decided I'm no longer
1:05:02
going to just be in one room because I don't
1:05:05
need to. So I purposefully didn't have a TV in
1:05:10
my bedroom and never have the whole time I've lived there.
1:05:15
Sometimes I wish I did have one, because it'd be nice,
1:05:22
but it also make me really lazy, I think at times.
1:05:29
But it's not like a long distance It's not like
1:05:32
I have to book a train to get to the
1:05:34
living room, is it. It's not far so yeah, I've
1:05:41
kind of stuck to that one TV in one room.
1:05:45
The bedroom's for sleeping. Unfortunately, that's all it's for.
1:05:51
Speaker 9: But yeah, that's okay, that's okay.
1:06:03
Speaker 1: Sorry, Vinnie. I know it's our bedroom, it's his bedroom,
1:06:08
and he allows me to sleep in the bed with
1:06:10
him if I'm a good boy. Basically, he this is
1:06:16
his flat. Now I just I'm his lodger. So yeah,
1:06:26
I do believe that is that. I don't know how
1:06:40
I'm going to edit this because everything's all messy everywhere.
1:06:45
You know, my little set up I had before, because
1:06:48
the TV was on the table, it was two tables
1:06:50
to two desks together, the computer was up. Everything was
1:06:53
set up. And now I think that's what I can say.
1:06:58
I got my neighbor downstairs to help me to put
1:07:00
the TV on a rack on the wall. So I
1:07:04
got a new rack was big enough, put it on
1:07:07
the wall. And this was Sunday, Friday, Monday, I don't know,
1:07:17
it was a few days ago. And it's yeah, it's
1:07:25
freed all that space in front of it. So I
1:07:29
moved the tables away or the desks and in the
1:07:35
process started to get rid of some stuff and move
1:07:37
things around. And yeah, it seems to have called more
1:07:46
mess than before. Well though technically I probably could. Tomorrow. Yeah,
1:07:54
tomorrow I'm going to start organizing the desks. Got two tables,
1:08:04
two desks, and one chair, so I'm thinking it's going
1:08:12
to be the other side of the room. Figure out
1:08:15
how I wanting to be. Yeah, that'd be fine. I
1:08:24
kind of know what I wanted, how I want it
1:08:26
to be, so it'll be okay. Just gotta figure it
1:08:29
out tomorrow, the logistics of it, and then I'll be
1:08:34
able to edit this because I won't be able to
1:08:36
edit this until unless my iPad is charged, because it
1:08:42
hasn't been plugged in for quite a few days, so
1:08:46
it might have uncharged itself. If it's still charged, you know,
1:08:51
if it hasn't worn down, then I can upload this
1:08:57
and do some editing and release it like the precious
1:09:04
gem that it is. Ooh, or a little dove. Release
1:09:10
the dove. So I'm going to go. Thank you for listening.
1:09:19
Remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve
1:09:22
to be happy and be gentle of yourself. You deserve
1:09:26
to feel safe. Don't forget Q and a Friday. If
1:09:32
you've got any questions, please go to my Facebook group
1:09:37
Lots of Love Bye. Relax in a more deep and
1:09:57
meaningful way, maybe in a way that can not just
1:10:05
allow you to feel calmer now and throughout the time
1:10:15
we spend together here, not just relaxed at the end
1:10:24
of the recording when it's finished and you can enjoy
1:10:28
that sense of comfort and peace, but also I think
1:10:46
it would be nice to have those feelings of relaxation
1:11:00
continue for longer after the recording has ended, so that
1:11:14
you can still benefit from listening to my voice, maybe
1:11:26
in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by
1:11:38
listening regularly, especially if you find like some people do
1:11:46
and myself as well. I sometimes I find one particular
1:11:50
recording that really resonates with me, and I'll just listen
1:12:00
to it over and over again every morning, every evening.
1:12:13
There was this recording from We're going back to about
1:12:18
nineteen ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis, but it was a
1:12:23
guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really, and I
1:12:33
managed to find it again and it still has the
1:12:36
same effect on me, And part of it was the
1:12:45
person's voice relaxed me just felt so peaceful, and I'd
1:12:59
look forward to listening to her in the morning and
1:13:06
in the evening. And I knew before even pressing the
1:13:17
play button that since I've done that, pressed the play button.
1:13:26
This is in the days of CD players, press the
1:13:37
play button, ifact it might have even been a tape
1:13:44
tape recorder. I'd lie down on the bed and then
1:13:53
even without necessarily listening to her words because I had
1:14:06
to memorized. Really, it was as if my body knew
1:14:17
exactly what to do, and the muscles just almost went
1:14:29
into automatic relaxation, and I remember my mind would slow down. Now. Now,
1:14:58
I was listening into this recording in the early days
1:15:05
of learning hypnosis, and long before I ever made any
1:15:15
videos or audio recordings myself, because I didn't start doing
1:15:21
that till two thousand and six, I knew, I knew
1:15:35
how helpful I found being able to just let go,
1:15:51
to have that trust in the person that I'm listening to,
1:16:04
knowing that it's going to be just as relaxing, if
1:16:12
not more so. Each time you hear my voice, you
1:16:22
may feel the same. Some people have been listening to
1:16:33
me for over a decade, maybe not solidly, obviously not
1:16:47
twenty four hours a day, but maybe people come back.
1:16:55
Some people may be listen every day. That's something that
1:17:09
I do which you may not realize by listening, is
1:17:26
when I record these recordings. Now, for example, I also
1:17:42
am affected by the words that I say. So if
1:17:53
I set you focus on your feet, notice your feet relaxing,
1:18:07
I will be focusing on my feet. I will be
1:18:15
noticing my feet relaxing. If I said, focus on your hands,
1:18:36
and maybe notice the difference between each hand. Perhaps notice
1:18:46
the the air in the room, the temperature of the room.
1:18:54
On the backs of your hands. You may start to
1:19:05
notice what almost feels like a very light breeze, even
1:19:13
though there may not be any type of breeze at
1:19:17
all where you are right now. And as you become
1:19:31
aware of your hands, I'm also aware of how relaxed
1:19:45
my hands are feeling now. And when it comes to
1:20:11
potentially drifting off to sleep, which may be the reason
1:20:17
you're listening, I also feel drowsy when I make these recordings.
1:20:38
I also notice my mind drifting. In fact, at times
1:20:56
I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing, and then I
1:21:11
carry on talking. It's only when I listen back to
1:21:23
do the editing I hear snoring, and I think I
1:21:32
don't remember snoring. I remember talking. Was this snoring was
1:21:42
a pig turned up? That's why I sound like when
1:21:49
I snare and I get really into the whole experience. Yes,
1:22:08
I don't know how you feel, how relaxed you feel
1:22:17
in your feet, how relaxed you feel in your hands.
1:22:43
I have noticed more and more that the more relaxed,
1:22:57
deeper level of comfort you feel, the easier your breathing becomes.
1:23:19
It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation. So this allows
1:23:36
you to breathe easier without necessarily focusing on your breath, however,
1:24:07
being able to notice the ease in which you breathe
1:24:36
so naturally. You breathe so very easily and smoothly. Whenever
1:25:26
I imagine my breathing improving, when I've got my eyes closed,
1:25:50
I tend to visualize a beautiful field with trees and
1:26:04
flowers producing all that life giving oxygen. It feels nice too,
1:26:46
if nothing else, just taking some time away from everything,
1:27:16
enjoying that feeling of peace serenity with a joyful heart.
1:28:14
Time seems to just drip by so very slowly, relaxed,
1:28:45
so deeply, peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in
1:29:24
this moment, completely free, noticing that your mind has slowed down.
1:30:37
Slowed down because nothing really requires your attention. You can
1:31:24
enjoy the physical sensations of allowing the stress to rip
1:31:41
out of your body, to appear out of every part
1:32:01
have your body, and being released from your brain in
1:32:25
your mind slowly but surely. Muscles in your legs relax
1:33:22
res really, so very deeply, relax so deeply. And the feelings,
1:34:15
the pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders, deepening each
1:34:40
part of your body further and deeper and deeper. Noticin
1:35:21
the feelings in the back of your neck, feelings in
1:35:48
your wrists, muscles in front of your body. I all say,
1:36:47
feeling peaceful deeply. There's a sense of peace spreads through
1:37:28
your fairy core. Even when you focus on your mind.
1:38:18
Your mind becomes eve and slower, even deeper. Hm, relax
1:39:28
so very slow his stomach, peace fall in your stomach.
1:40:28
You're back. Notice Notice how relaxed.
1:40:51
Speaker 4: You'd never feel in the hole of your back.
1:41:29
Speaker 1: You spy from your brain all the way down the
1:41:39
middle of your back, sending and receiving millions of messages
1:41:50
every day. Deep comfort increasing deeply relaxed unslegs, spreading those
1:43:22
signals down a spine or cord into air, every part
1:43:31
of your body, your shins and your calf, muscles, your elbows,
1:44:34
Feelings of peace and tranquility spreading through your body, tips
1:44:52
of your toes, to your eyes, your fingers, all the
1:45:08
way till you lower back. Letting go, read the thinker,
1:45:53
peace drifting mind just wandering away, happy to let go,
1:46:39
let go completely, let go, so tranquil, the whole body
1:47:44
enjoying a sensor listening go he for more pe enjoying
1:50:07
the space, this space of peace.
1:50:18
Speaker 10: And safety, so very relaxed, Ye, letting go.
1:52:40
Speaker 1: Maybe we can just focus on the different parts of
1:52:48
your body, just to notice.
1:53:20
Speaker 2: You foolhead and your eyes.
1:53:55
Speaker 1: It too, so loose, noticing the sense of complete freedom,
1:54:40
absolute freedom bref prita pea's for energy, peace to breathe
1:56:36
so much easier loose. You may have or may not
1:57:47
have noticed your mind drifting peaceful more any even more
1:58:48
deeply in the direction of total bliss for pace, bliss
1:59:12
for pace, terrefting to to pace, come so calm, letting go,
2:01:40
peace with mind rexed forty so relaxed, so relaxed. Your
2:02:51
body feels almost invisible, so very relaxed. I'm peaceful, so pity,
2:03:32
so relax Liqua, and you could start to notice that
2:04:36
you are feeling more relaxed, even though I've not purposely
2:04:48
focused your mind upon that sense of physical comfort that
2:04:57
is growing within you throughout your body, and your mind
2:05:06
starts to slow down, and that could be almost in
2:05:15
recognition of I guess my speech not being particularly fast,
2:05:31
and things just generally feel calmer. Just by listening to
2:05:41
my voice, you give yourself an opportunity to take a
2:05:50
break from the day, take a break from your life
2:05:58
as it is, and to give yourself a rest, giving
2:06:06
yourself permission to take some time off, and to allow
2:06:14
your body to relax and allow your mind to slow down,
2:06:24
which in turn releases the tension and he stresses that
2:06:32
you had in your body. It's almost as if the
2:06:42
parts of your body just open up, allowing the negativity
2:06:47
out and at the same time replacing that negativity with
2:07:00
positive heathing energy, which then fills your body up and
2:07:09
your mind to also starts to appreciate those feelings of
2:07:23
increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling, positive healing, an energy
2:07:43
that spreads through your body like a wave of comfort.
2:07:58
And all this comes from just allowing yourself a few minutes,
2:08:10
maybe half an hour, however long you want it to be,
2:08:15
to just rest and allow your mind and your body
2:08:29
to almost reset itself to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness,
2:08:50
which allows more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness
2:09:03
to move around your body and into your mind, almost
2:09:13
as if your mind and your body are sinking together,
2:09:22
almost mirroring each other with that growing positivity and calmness,
2:09:37
And it feels nice. It really does feel nice to
2:09:44
know that you are the one that has allowed yourself
2:09:53
to feel more comfort and to experience more of this
2:10:07
deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus
2:10:24
on each part of your body, you can notice that
2:10:30
that part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.
2:10:47
It becomes even more calm and comfortable just by focusing.
2:11:01
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,
2:11:09
the parts that you've already focused on will continue to
2:11:16
relax deeply, and those parts that we've not yet focused
2:11:24
on or just automatically release any remaining tension in anticipation
2:11:37
of even more comfort about to come. Now. I'm going
2:11:50
to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware
2:11:58
the feelings of your forehead and any background sounds like
2:12:08
mister Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to feel
2:12:14
even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment. This
2:12:24
isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.
2:12:32
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature
2:12:39
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just
2:12:50
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus
2:13:00
only on my voice and that part of your body.
2:13:09
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing
2:13:20
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at
2:13:30
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes
2:13:37
relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,
2:13:51
your tongue, your teeth, and your gumbs, the whole of
2:13:58
your mouth relaxing, calm and loose. As you focus now
2:14:14
on your jaw, not just the parts of your jaw
2:14:21
near your mouth and your chin, but all the way
2:14:25
up the size of your face to your ears, the
2:14:32
hole of your jaw, feeding more relaxed.
2:14:47
Speaker 7: And calm.
2:14:56
Speaker 1: Focusing on your neck the front of your neck and
2:15:05
your throat relaxing and loose and calm. The side of
2:15:18
your neck, the right and left side of your neck
2:15:26
relax and loose and calm. And now the back of
2:15:42
your neck, focusing on the back of your neck, letting
2:15:55
go of any tension that may have been therefore and
2:16:02
enjoying that sense of increasing comfort and release that you
2:16:16
can experience in the back of your neck. Moving down
2:16:28
your back and moving either side of your spine right
2:16:35
from the top of your back all the way down
2:16:41
to the bottom of your back down to your lower back.
2:16:58
And as you move up and down your spine, you
2:17:05
can feel the muscles either side of your spine relaxing
2:17:13
even more. And as those muscles relax, that sense of
2:17:27
comfort starts to spread outwards from your spine into both
2:17:37
sides of your back, the top of your back, the
2:17:45
middle and your lower back. And as you scan gently
2:17:54
and slowly up and down your back, there's the muscles
2:18:01
in the top of your back relax and become looser.
2:18:11
The muscles in the middle of your back also seem
2:18:17
to just almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting,
2:18:32
And in your lower back there seems to be an
2:18:38
extra special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips,
2:18:55
so down your lower back, into your hips, into the
2:19:03
area where your coxis are, and into your buttocks, and
2:19:11
all those muscles that spread whom your lower back into
2:19:21
your hip area start to melt, start to really let go,
2:19:41
don't even know where about. To focus on your shoulders.
2:19:47
Your back and your spine will continue to let go,
2:19:58
continue to relax so calmly, And as you focus on
2:20:13
your shoulders, you may notice that they're already feeding really loose,
2:20:31
they're already feeding calm, and they're feeding those muscles. Then
2:20:57
move from your neck into your shoulders. Feel so soft
2:21:13
and gentle, so smooth and calm, and the feeding in
2:21:39
your shoulders seens to spread deep into your shoulders, that
2:21:54
sense of relaxation, not just tra ling deeply into your muscles,
2:22:06
but also relaxing the bones and moving all away to
2:22:19
underneath your arms, relaxing that whole area between the tops
2:22:28
of your shoulders and underneath your arms. He Then you
2:22:43
feel so relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders. Who sends
2:22:57
that deep healing message into your arms. You may feel
2:23:20
almost as if your arms are not even there, because
2:23:26
they're so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so so calm, so loose,
2:24:17
not feeling spreading all the way down your arms, two elbows,
2:24:32
including your elbows circumforts, spreads all away into your wrists
2:25:00
of forearments and your wrists.
2:25:08
Speaker 4: Being so heavy, yet at the same time so light.
2:25:28
Speaker 1: And gentle. Focusing now on your hands, your hands, so
2:26:33
peaceful in your hands, it is sense real peace. It
2:27:13
just seems to feel so familiar when your hands relax deeply. Mhmm.
2:27:39
Else your thingers, you things, sadly you thinker tips. Moving
2:29:34
your attention to the front of your body, so comfortable,
2:30:04
move on your focus you your legs, what musculs in
2:31:31
your thighs, your knees, so relaxed, to carve muscles and
2:32:25
just shames compresedly four and the feathing your feet, sir, peaceful,
2:34:44
so calm, so peaceful, so calm, so peaceful, so calm,
2:35:40
so peace fa rel sin.
2:35:59
Speaker 11: Peace fall, so calm, allowing that deep relaxation.
2:36:17
Speaker 1: To spread your chest and your stomach.
2:36:24
Speaker 12: So.
2:36:34
Speaker 1: Letting go everything. So I'm gonna start counting down now,
2:36:55
from twenty down to one. You can imagine in a
2:37:04
way it's like just walking down some steps and each
2:37:10
step or twenty steps, and each step represents a level
2:37:16
of comfort. Each step represents a deepening of that comfort,
2:37:36
and the furvies you walk down those steps that are
2:37:41
deeper and more relaxed you feel. So starting with number
2:37:52
twenty twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen sixsting three four four two
2:44:31
too well five two nine hey seven.
2:50:08
Speaker 8: Four five four four.
2:55:20
Speaker 1: Two one. And now as you focus on your eyes,
2:58:46
we're gonna count down from ten douts one, focusing just
2:58:58
on your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes,
2:59:09
your eye walls themselves, our whole area that makes up
2:59:18
your eye. And as we count down from ten down
2:59:34
to one, whilst focus in on your eyes, you'll become
2:59:49
twice is relaxed with each number counting down that you
3:00:02
may find the all you want to do is just
3:00:11
to drift off to sleep. And if that's what you want,
3:00:21
then just allow yourself to do that. Now, focusing on
3:00:34
your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down from ten
3:00:42
down to one right now, ten nine eight seven yo
3:04:55
five four.
3:07:20
Speaker 13: Three two one.
3:10:01
Speaker 1: So counting down from ten to one ten nine eight
3:10:20
seven six.
3:10:25
Speaker 2: Five four.
3:10:31
Speaker 1: Three two.
3:10:37
Speaker 8: One.
3:10:44
Speaker 1: And maybe that was a bit too quick in order
3:10:47
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you
3:10:51
to notice the calming of your body, be even a
3:11:01
little bit of pressure there, Like you're counting down from
3:11:05
ten to one. Would you expect me to do man,
3:11:09
expect me to stick go with floppy just because you're
3:11:12
counting down. We could try it again, but this time
3:11:22
I go. It's lower this time, as you focus on
3:11:29
the whole of your body before we focus on your legs.
3:11:36
Just notice how your body does start to feel more
3:11:46
relaxed with every number that I count down ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,
3:12:53
three two one, And just notice how how you feel generally,
3:13:45
how your body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting
3:13:59
down from ten to one. It's that space that you have,
3:14:07
that space between being active physically or mentally to just
3:14:31
sitting or lying down, just being there, not doing anything,
3:14:36
not saying anything, nor deeding to think about anything. So
3:14:43
it opens up a space, you know, a bit of
3:14:46
a space, a gap. And the more I comed down
3:14:57
from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes. So
3:15:05
there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's a
3:15:18
nice feeling and it moves those stresses or discomforts physically
3:15:32
or emotionally, moves them away, allows you to just slow down.
3:15:54
Someone to count again from ten down to one, and
3:15:57
notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,
3:16:08
it's almost like the thestress and attention falls into the
3:16:14
gap and gives you that distance that space. Now, ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four.
3:17:53
Speaker 3: Three two one.
3:18:41
Speaker 1: How did your body feel now and you notice that?
3:19:02
Do you feeling calmer? Do you feeling more relaxed? As
3:19:38
we now focus on your legs, just your legs. We're
3:19:59
just gonna start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,
3:20:19
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing, because
3:20:27
I'm sure like most of your body is not a
3:20:30
lot going on right now. Just focusing on the whole
3:20:42
of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides
3:20:49
of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs,
3:20:56
and your inner thighs to lead the whole of your
3:21:01
thigh that leads into your hip and it goes down
3:21:10
to your knee joints. Now, this is a big area.
3:21:24
It's a very heavy area. It's very strong, probably the
3:21:29
strongest muscles in your body or in your thighs. But
3:21:44
I don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.
3:21:58
Perhaps we don't I acknowledge how important our thighs are
3:22:09
to our lives, how much they actually do for us
3:22:30
all through our lives. And it may seem to sound
3:22:40
really weird, but I think that all of our body parts,
3:22:48
especially our thighs, needs some TLC, a bit of love shown,
3:22:57
a bit of acknowledgement. I thank you gratitude for what
3:23:16
our thighs do for us. And I know this may
3:23:25
sound is strange. Maybe you think, why am I sure
3:23:32
that how I should be out in the garden hugging
3:23:34
a tree or something. Well, it's hard to set a
3:23:42
microphone up on a tree. That's why I'm doing this indoors.
3:23:46
Otherwise I would be outside hugging a tree. Now I
3:23:49
can't see the television from the tree. If you move
3:23:58
down to your knees gain such an important part. And
3:24:08
I think we don't necessarily I'll speak for myself here,
3:24:15
I don't necessarily appreciate all that my nees do for
3:24:20
me until I have a problem with my knee. It's occasionally,
3:24:27
if I ever maybe i'll bash it or it's aching
3:24:32
for some reason. It's then that I realize how much
3:24:38
it does. You know, the benefit of being able to
3:24:43
use my legs without any kind of physical discomfort is
3:24:53
a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed.
3:25:03
You know that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees,
3:25:12
regardless of how your knees feel, you can have that
3:25:18
sense of gratitude and love to your knees for all
3:25:24
that they do for you. And you can still have
3:25:37
that attention on your thighs and maybe notice how your
3:25:41
thighs feel. Maybe you've noticed that they are relaxing more
3:25:55
deeply as you focus now on the bottoms of your legs,
3:26:07
your shins and your calf muscles, the bones between your
3:26:13
knees and your feet incorporate, and of course your ankles
3:26:21
so important. Anyone that's had even the slightest sprain of
3:26:33
an ankle knows how how much we take our ankles
3:26:40
for granted. And it's kind of strange in a way
3:26:49
when you think that. You know, logically, our wrists are
3:26:54
a lot thinner than the rest of our arms, which
3:26:59
is doesn't can't see any problem with that because we're
3:27:04
just picking stuff up. But our ankles so much thinner
3:27:11
than the rest of our legs, and from a physics
3:27:20
perspective or logical even it doesn't really make sense that
3:27:26
all this weight would ultimately be resting on your ankles
3:27:35
then leading to your feet, that thin area, thin bone. Yeah,
3:27:48
it does so much great work. Supports us, supports our
3:27:54
body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, It helps
3:28:06
you to get around and be mobile. And there's the
3:28:19
calf muscles. Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't
3:28:27
see the point in calf muscles. It didn't seem to
3:28:30
do anything. Okay, if I walked around on tiptoes, then
3:28:36
my calf muscles get some work. But of course that's
3:28:40
not true. The calf muscles are being used whenever we
3:28:44
use our legs, and your shins there to protect your
3:28:58
lower legs, shaped in a way almost as a protector
3:29:07
for the bone, leading of course to your ankles and
3:29:22
your feet. But we're not going to focus on your feet.
3:29:29
We're just going to focus on the legs. I realize
3:29:36
that now that I've mentioned your feet, it probably focuses
3:29:40
on them anyway, So maybe I should focus on your
3:29:43
feet a little bit. You can have them in your
3:29:49
awareness the same as you have your thighs in your awareness.
3:29:56
Even though we haven't been focusing on your thighs for
3:30:00
a few minutes, let me focus in on your ankles.
3:30:11
There's still that sensation of comfort in your thighs and
3:30:26
this that movement of energy because the thighs hold lots
3:30:35
of different sensations. Of course, there's the muscles, the big
3:30:41
straw muscles that we have in our thighs, but the
3:30:54
skin on the outside of the thighs, as in the
3:31:00
outside of all of our body, can be very sensitive,
3:31:09
sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature. And inside your
3:31:22
thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's the blood, vessels,
3:31:30
the arch trees, all this stuff that's inside your thighs.
3:31:40
And I guess sometimes it'd be nice if you could
3:31:43
actually put your fingers inside your thighs and a message,
3:31:51
so you can message on the outside, of course, but
3:31:55
to be able to get deep into the muscles and
3:31:58
to be able to just message inside your thighs, message
3:32:03
in the bones of your leg, massage in all the veins,
3:32:12
and just gently healing your thighs, and you could move
3:32:22
down message and inside your knees, just message in those bones,
3:32:31
but with healing fingertips, spreading that healing energy deep into
3:32:38
the joints of your knees. Of course, there's the back
3:32:48
of your your knee, you know, the inside crease where
3:32:53
your knee is. It's a very sensitive area. Very it
3:33:00
feels very nice when you stroke it. That might be
3:33:04
because it's an area that's not really touched very often.
3:33:10
It's almost like a hidden part, that crease in your legs.
3:33:17
It's almost it's like a part that has a sensitivity,
3:33:24
which is a little bit different. Of course, it's protected
3:33:35
by your legs, so you can imagine putting your fingers
3:33:46
into that crease in your legs, that fold in between
3:33:56
your legs. You can just mess out with your fingertips,
3:34:00
imaging your fingertips, going inside, massage in the muscle tissue.
3:34:12
You can of course field the bones of your knees,
3:34:17
healing through your fingertips, and then as you go down
3:34:31
to your calf muscles. Now that's the part I'd like
3:34:34
to be able to really put my fingertips deep inside
3:34:39
my calf muscles, massage in every single tissue of that muscle,
3:34:50
healing every part, and then doing the same for my
3:34:59
shin massage in and gently stroking the bones, gently stroking them,
3:35:11
healing in a loving way, because they deserve to be
3:35:15
treated as the precious bones that they are. Because our
3:35:22
legs are so precious as in all the other parts
3:35:26
of our body, and more precious than any jure on
3:35:34
the planet. When you start to think about your legs
3:35:50
in this way, it can change your perspective. It might
3:36:01
sound a bit a bit silly to start with the
3:36:08
idea of having love for your legs, showing appreciation for
3:36:16
your thighs, wanting to be able to put your hands
3:36:23
in your thighs, massage the muscles and the bones, and
3:36:32
to get your fingers deep in there, releasing all tension,
3:36:41
just to show how much you care about your legs,
3:36:50
how much you care for what your legs do for
3:36:54
you regularly, your knee, your calves, your ankles, the strength
3:37:08
of your ankles, considering how thin they are compared to
3:37:16
the rest of your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah, they're
3:37:23
so strong, so flexible, absolutely amazing things. Your ankles are
3:37:39
truly a gift because of what they do for you,
3:37:50
supporting all that weight, regardless of how what weight you
3:37:56
are even if you only ate stones. Yeah, still a
3:38:02
lot of weight for these little ankles. Now I'm a
3:38:09
lot heavier than eight stone double down. Yet my ankles
3:38:19
support my body all the time, although they do give
3:38:27
off a sigh of relief when I sit down at
3:38:32
my whole legs do. My feet feet also go and
3:38:41
my toes clap.
3:38:44
Speaker 4: I'm so happy.
3:39:04
Speaker 1: Your legs really are amazing. And I know that about
3:39:14
talking about your legs is probably possibly among the most
3:39:21
most boring things you've ever heard anyone say. Possibly they're
3:39:29
boring or not. Everything I said is true. Your legs
3:39:36
are amazing. Your legs deserve not just respect, they deserve
3:39:56
to relax deeply. They deserve to take some time out
3:40:09
of the day to just let go completely. The legs
3:40:38
really can relax. And because the legs are so such
3:40:51
a most you know, very important part of your body.
3:40:57
When you relax your legs, the rest of your body
3:41:00
also naturally follows in that journey of comfort. I can
3:41:19
feel it in my hips. My hips feel really loose,
3:41:28
and also my lwer back as well. My lower back
3:41:32
really feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting
3:41:38
in a chair and there's no stretching as far as
3:41:44
I'm aware that I'm doing. It's almost as if the
3:41:47
muscles are just relaxed so much that there is a
3:41:51
natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot.
3:42:16
Speaker 4: And I'm now going to count down from ten down to.
3:42:19
Speaker 1: One, and you can continue to fill wonderfully relaxed ten nine, eight, seven, six, five.
3:42:58
Speaker 2: Four three two. Why relaxed?
3:43:25
Speaker 1: So I'm just going to count down from five down
3:43:29
to one, and as a countdown, if you just focus
3:43:34
on the numbers, just the numbers counting down, and notice
3:43:42
how you feel in this moment as you hear the
3:43:51
numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers counting down represent
3:44:00
you feeling calmer, not just in your body, but also
3:44:11
relaxing your mind. Just notice how you feel. There's nothing
3:44:19
to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing to think about,
3:44:27
starting with number five four three two one. And as
3:45:16
you notice the gradual letting go the tension in your body,
3:45:33
you may also begin to notice and be aware of
3:45:39
how your mind is starting to slow down. This is
3:45:48
just a natural thing that happens. It's not really a
3:45:55
special procedure. It's just natural because as your body relaxes,
3:46:02
your mind also starts to relax, and the more your
3:46:07
mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes. It's just a
3:46:11
continuous circle of relaxation. And there's that calmness that comes
3:46:23
from relative quietness. You know, even even if there's background sounds,
3:46:33
either your side or mine, it's still going to be
3:46:39
quite calm. You know, you haven't got the television on,
3:46:44
there's no music in the background unless you're listening to
3:46:48
the recording. With music, of course, you're very likely not
3:46:56
going to be sitting in a room with other people.
3:46:59
Of course it might be, but generally it's more ideal
3:47:04
if you can do this on your own, so no distractions,
3:47:15
and when you stop thinking about stuff, relaxation automatically rises.
3:47:30
A sense of comfort starts to grow, and without trying
3:47:41
to build it up into something fantastical or something magical,
3:47:52
this is just a natural process, something that's easy to accomplish.
3:48:05
In fact, it's almost you know, the sense of relaxing
3:48:10
completely happens really when you put no effort into it.
3:48:17
It's not something that you can really force. It's something
3:48:23
that happens naturally. And part of the process of this
3:48:34
recording and others is simply two allow you to take
3:48:46
advantage of this space. This time, it's just let go,
3:49:04
to just be here, to be in tune with how
3:49:12
you feel, yet with the intention of wanting to relax
3:49:26
deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending on what
3:49:37
it is that you wish for yourself in this moment.
3:49:50
As we know, relaxing is the majority of the pro
3:50:00
sess of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep part is
3:50:05
the tiny bit at the end. The deeper relaxed you become,
3:50:17
the easier you find yourself drifting. But you can also
3:50:35
if you choose stay focused on my voice and really
3:50:45
enjoy the process of gradually relaxing each muscle in your
3:51:15
body effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting go completely.
3:51:55
This time, I'm going to count from six down to one,
3:52:04
and you can notice your mind calming down more with
3:52:14
each number that you hear me say, naturally, feeling calm
3:52:28
and slow and be peaceful. Six, five, four, three, t one,
3:55:27
being aware of how your mind to slowed right down,
3:55:40
sinking deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind,
3:56:04
you may notice that there are some thoughts still there,
3:56:16
maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need
3:56:26
your attention. That's what you can do is send love
3:56:41
to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love like all
3:56:55
petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them, petals
3:57:01
filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those thoughts
3:57:08
know that you're not abandoned in them. You just need them.
3:57:16
You require them to just calm down, slow down, quiet
3:57:28
down for now. So as you focus on those remaining
3:57:43
thoughts as we count down this time from seven down
3:57:49
to one. With each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower
3:57:58
petals of of kindness gratitude over those thoughts, which will
3:58:17
allow them to just melt away and relax deeply. With
3:58:27
every number, those thoughts will become more and more relaxed,
3:58:47
starting with number seven, six, five, four, three two one.
4:01:11
Speaker 14: Yeah.
4:01:18
Speaker 1: And as you now notice how relaxed you're feeling in
4:01:35
your body, we're going to focus on your hands, because
4:01:57
the more relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed your
4:02:03
body and mind are. And there's you focus on your
4:02:24
hands and your fingers. There's nothing needed to be done.
4:02:35
There's no clenching of fists or tents in the fingers
4:02:40
or anything like that it's just noticing and focusing on
4:02:54
your hands, noticing how they feel, because the more relaxed
4:03:23
your hands fel, the calmer your mind feels, and the
4:03:33
more comfort you feel throughout your body. And you may
4:03:52
have already noticed your mind is starting to dress like
4:04:35
since just on your hands and fingers, allowing them to
4:04:53
experience a real deepening of that relaxation in your hands
4:05:04
and fingers, more and more relaxed. With each number from
4:05:30
eight down to one. You can almost feel that healing
4:05:45
and relaxing energy spreading into your hands and fingers, becoming.
4:06:02
Speaker 8: Ye more.
4:06:05
Speaker 1: Relaxing with each number you hear, going down from eight
4:06:22
down to one, drifting drifting again, starting with number eight, seven, six.
4:08:34
Speaker 2: Five, four, three.
4:09:49
Speaker 1: Two, just being here now, nothing to think about, nothing
4:10:48
to do, nothing to say, and everything just feels calmer.
4:11:03
And this is your natural state of being. This is
4:11:11
how you just normally feel when you take away all
4:11:18
that other stuff that we add, you know, things like
4:11:25
stress and worrying and overthinking and anxiety, tension, just generally
4:11:41
thinking about stuff. And you take that away, which is
4:11:47
what we do. What we do now, you're left with
4:11:59
a real sense of peacefulness which comes to you very quickly,
4:12:12
because ultimately it's just.
4:12:16
Speaker 4: A feeling, a feeling of comfort.
4:12:27
Speaker 1: It's almost as if you've gone inside yourself and you've
4:12:30
found a special place where everything is peaceful, a place
4:12:45
where you can feel relaxed and your natural sense of comfort,
4:12:56
a place where you can be you, where you can
4:13:04
accept yourself for who you are, a place where you're
4:13:11
not trying to please anybody else ever, a place where
4:13:21
you can actually not just love yourself, but in some
4:13:31
ways more importantly, you can like yourself appreciate who you are.
4:13:49
That sense of gratitude is in the air all around you.
4:14:04
That's also a place where you can actually feel the
4:14:12
healing energy soaking into your body. Healing energy soaking into
4:14:27
your body, and that healing energy spreads through your veins,
4:14:41
traveling to each and every single part of your body,
4:14:54
and you start to realize that actually that healing energy
4:15:01
it's not just entered into your brain, it's become part
4:15:08
of your brain, and that spinal fluid is now mixed
4:15:19
with healing energy, not just allowing you to feel so
4:15:30
much more relaxed and healthy in this moment, but also
4:15:45
you start to realize that actually what's happening now with
4:15:53
that healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body, it's actually
4:16:03
changing your life. It's actually changing the way you're going
4:16:13
to feel, not just now, but tomorrow and the next day.
4:16:22
As your health improves, not just your physical health, but
4:16:30
your mental health. Things that used to bother you in
4:16:37
the past, for some reason, no longer have the effect
4:16:45
that they used to because something has changed deep within you.
4:16:59
Maybe things that used to cause you to feel anger
4:17:09
no longer have that power to control you the way
4:17:20
they seem to be able to before. As you realize
4:17:29
that you're the one who decides what affects you, you're
4:17:42
the one who decides to feel relaxed and calm when
4:17:52
you choose to enjoy noticing these natural developments of healing
4:18:10
continuing to grow and improve your life day by day,
4:18:24
including of course, your ability to relax so much easier.
4:18:38
And sleeping is the most natural thing in the world
4:18:49
to you, because falling asleep is something that you've done
4:19:00
so many times in your life, and you know that
4:19:08
you were born, as we all were, with the ability
4:19:15
to fall asleep naturally. We were born with that ability
4:19:28
to just drift off into a deep, healing sleep, even
4:19:42
when we're kids, sometimes will fall asleep when we don't
4:19:47
even want to try to us stay awake. Maybe it's
4:19:53
a birthday in the morning, or it's Christmas or holiday
4:19:58
or something we look forward to. We don't want to
4:20:01
go to sleep. But the more we want to stay awake,
4:20:08
the more we just start to drift. And the more
4:20:16
you fight drifting, the more you try to stop yourself
4:20:19
and drift in asleep, the deeper and stronger that drifting becomes.
4:20:33
Because we're born not just with the need to relax
4:20:38
deeply and to naturally fall asleep, but it's our birthright,
4:20:50
it's part of our DNA, and sometimes as we get
4:21:00
older in life, perhaps at times we have forgotten that
4:21:11
relaxing completely. It's not only a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's
4:21:28
also really easy. It's very very easy to let go,
4:21:47
because that's all it is.
4:21:49
Speaker 4: It's just.
4:21:53
Speaker 1: Deciding to let go. And when you press the play
4:22:04
button on my recordings, you have given permission for my
4:22:15
voice to relax you. When you press that play button,
4:22:24
you have given me permission for my words to affect
4:22:35
you in a positive, only a positive way. Opening up
4:22:52
your mind to useful and healing suggestions that can have
4:23:15
such an amazing effect on how you feel right now,
4:23:27
as well as those changes that continue long after the
4:23:37
recording ends, those changes within you that continue to flourish
4:23:48
and grow, transforming your life in positive, beautiful way, allowing
4:24:07
you to move forward in your life in the direction
4:24:14
that you choose for yourself. And this feeling, this feeling
4:24:31
that you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness, just feels
4:24:47
so nice. It's such a healthy place to be, and
4:25:08
that positivity grows within you.
4:25:19
Speaker 4: Each and every day.
4:25:25
Speaker 1: Moving forward, you're going to find that you're more relaxed
4:25:37
physically and in your mind is more relaxed. And it's
4:25:50
not that you're thinking slower. It's just that your mind
4:25:55
will be less clogged up with un necessary negativity because
4:26:07
from now on, your mind rejects negativity. From now on,
4:26:17
you're going to start noticing when negativity arises and you
4:26:28
can just say stop, stop, and that negativity will turn
4:26:42
around and leave you alone. Stop and that negativity would disappear.
4:27:11
And as you notice that you feel way more relaxed
4:27:18
than you probably expected, you can now congratulate yourself because
4:27:34
you're the person that has done this. You are the
4:27:41
one that has opened your mind up to the simple
4:27:46
facts that you can feel more relaxed in your body
4:27:54
and in your mind. You've opened your mind up to
4:28:06
the birthright of being able to just fall asleep easily
4:28:14
when you choose. And that's a nice feeling. Don't you
4:28:28
think it feels nice? Doesn't it? To feel calm? All
4:28:39
that healing energy is spreading through your body and your
4:28:44
mind to spend time in a special place where can
4:29:02
no longer enter. Negativity is banned, It's barred, it's not
4:29:15
allowed entry. Doesn't it doesn't. This doesn't deserve to be here,
4:29:22
doesn't belong here. Negativity has no place in your life,
4:29:41
which makes room for more comfort, more heathing, more relaxation,
4:29:55
more peace. It feels nice, doesn't it? Just the let
4:30:21
go with everything. I'm going to count down now from
4:30:41
twenty down to one. You can continue to relax. If
4:30:51
you choose, you can drift to sleep. With every number
4:31:05
you hear me say, you can fill twice as relaxed,
4:31:17
or if you choose, you can feel twice sleeping now.
4:31:34
Twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five.
4:33:49
Speaker 4: Four.
4:34:23
Speaker 1: This is your time to just take a break, your
4:34:33
time to relax, to allow your mind to slow down,
4:34:52
to give yourself permission to take a break from everything.
4:35:11
And you, you're the only person that can make that decision.
4:35:19
You're the only person that can actually tell your mind
4:35:26
to just relax, to just take some time off so
4:35:50
that you can focus on your body, getting in touch
4:35:56
with how you feel. And in the process of this
4:36:13
body scan, where you focus on different parts of your body,
4:36:25
those parts that you focus on and observe, even though
4:36:32
you're not purposely requesting for those parts of your body
4:36:41
to relax, it's kind of expected. You expect when you
4:36:49
listen to my voice to feel more relaxed naturally, because
4:37:03
when you're listening to me, your attention is focused on
4:37:13
my words, and as my words guide you to focus
4:37:29
on those parts of your body, your focus increases, which
4:37:44
actually calms your mind. And when your mind calms down,
4:38:04
your body relaxes. And when your body calms down, your
4:38:27
mind relaxes. And even though we've not really started to
4:38:44
focus on your body, you can already feel that healing
4:38:57
energy spreading through your body, pushing out stress and tension,
4:39:15
healing all the parts of your body, including your skin,
4:39:24
your bones, your blood, all of your organs inside your body,
4:39:32
all of the muscles, all of the fat, all of everything,
4:39:41
every hair on your body is filled with that healing energy.
4:39:55
And when your brain it fills with that healing energy,
4:40:10
the feeling of comfort and relaxation increases deeply, increases in
4:40:35
a way to your mind starts to fill, perhaps bit
4:40:50
drowsy because it's not needed, and it may start to
4:41:06
drift if that's what's needed. So if you're listening to
4:41:21
this and what you need is deep relaxation, that's what
4:41:27
you get. If what you need is to fall asleep
4:41:36
naturally and easily as your mind drifts, that's also what
4:41:45
will happen. Because by pressing that play button on the
4:41:58
podcast and listen listening to me, you give permission for
4:42:05
your body and your mind. In fact, you give the
4:42:16
command to your body and your mind to relax deeply
4:42:28
and to drift off to sleep if that's what you
4:42:34
want or need. And as I focus on the different
4:42:50
parts of your body, you may start to just drift,
4:43:05
and then you come back again and you hear me talking,
4:43:09
and I'm focusing on a different part of your body,
4:43:18
and you may find yourself drifting. You don't realize you're
4:43:28
drifting until you stop drifting and you're alert again to
4:43:36
my voice. Focusing on a different part of your body
4:43:43
starts to relax even deeper, because that drifting is basically
4:43:54
you already in the sleep zone. And the more you drift,
4:44:07
the longer you drift, and the longer you drift, eventually
4:44:17
that drifting continues into sleep, and that's the last you
4:44:27
remember until you wake up in your own time, when
4:44:38
you experience the right amount of sleep for you, because
4:44:46
when you do and if you do fall asleep, it's
4:44:54
extremely pleasant, so deep healing sleep. It feels so nice
4:45:22
to relax into your own body and mind as you
4:45:32
as you feel that healing energy is spreading through it, relaxing,
4:45:40
Use so deeply, relaxing, use so so deeply. We start
4:46:02
to focus on your eyes, moving down to your jaw,
4:46:26
down to your neck, your shoulders, palms, haad, fingers, your
4:47:08
chest and stomach, your back, your spine, your hips, your legs,
4:47:57
your feet, your toes, and then feeding feetings, spreading and
4:48:32
growing inside your body, feeling you up. Now let's focus
4:48:46
again on parts of your body, focusing this time on
4:48:56
your forehead. Now on your mouth, your lips, your tongue,
4:49:12
the whole of your mouth. Focus in on your fingers.
4:49:34
Maybe you could move your fingers a little bit. You
4:49:38
can focus on each one individually, both hands.
4:49:53
Speaker 4: And even though you focus on both of.
4:49:56
Speaker 1: Your hands now almost seemed to just melt into one.
4:50:07
Where is your right hand start and your left hand end,
4:50:15
almost as if just mixed together. Now focusing on your knees,
4:50:33
just noticing how your knees fell. Now, focusing on your elbows,
4:50:59
focusing on both of your elbows, just observing the feeling
4:51:14
of your elbows. Now focusing observing the back of your neck,
4:51:56
feeding that energy on the back of your neck, absurd
4:52:36
your ankles, being aware of physical sensations in your ankles,
4:53:55
not to.
4:53:56
Speaker 4: Say no.
4:54:01
Speaker 1: Your toes on both of your feet, being aware how
4:54:19
you to yeah right now? Nine two? Then how your
4:55:10
entire body feels, noticing how your mind feels. Now letting go, yeah,
4:56:08
letting go, letting go everything, letting go, letting go, letting
4:56:50
go everything you see. I'm going to start now, and
4:57:17
I would like you just first of all, just to
4:57:19
see yourself lying down on that message table, lying on
4:57:27
your front. Your head is supported, your arms are supported
4:57:36
and you feel comfortable and breathing. It's really easy, and
4:57:42
you feel you feel confident in how you look as well.
4:57:49
So there's none of that issue of body problems or
4:57:54
shyness because I'm a professional and this is a therapy session,
4:58:04
so none of that stuff matters whatsoever. This is about you.
4:58:15
This is about how you feel and how you can
4:58:22
enjoy that sense of comfort and relaxation that comes from
4:58:29
letting go and allowing my hands my fingers to relax
4:58:35
you by a message your body. So I want to
4:58:46
start off just by placing my hands on the back
4:58:51
of your head, just gently, just you can feel what
4:58:56
my hands feel like really on you. So you can
4:59:05
maybe feel the warmth of my hands on the back
4:59:07
of your head. And with my hands to the side
4:59:13
of your head, not pressing, but just holding there very gently,
4:59:20
maybe over your ears, and a little bit on your face,
4:59:25
just so you can feel my hands so you can
4:59:30
become accustomed to them. And now put my hands on
4:59:43
the back of your head again and gently let them
4:59:48
slide down onto the back of your neck. You can
5:00:00
feel my hands gently stroking the back of your neck
5:00:10
to start with, just so you can get used to
5:00:17
the feeling of my hands on your skin, get accustomed
5:00:22
to realize that you're safe and it's all good, it's
5:00:31
all fine, And I'm going to start gently messaging the
5:00:41
muscles in the back of your neck with both hands. Now,
5:00:58
this is a very trusting situation, really, because our necks
5:01:04
are so fragile and to have someone have their hands
5:01:09
around your neck in that way can sometimes be problematic
5:01:14
for people, which is why massages are quite good, because
5:01:20
it allows you to relax and to get in touch
5:01:29
with trust, to feel peaceful and calm. And there's a
5:01:46
massage the sides of your neck gently moving from the
5:01:54
bottom of your neck if you would be sort of
5:01:58
near where your shoulders start, I guess all the way up.
5:02:04
Speaker 4: To your jaw, your ears, kind of area.
5:02:09
Speaker 1: That side of your neck. Of course, it's a lot
5:02:13
longer than the front of your neck. The message in
5:02:30
the back of your neck, especially that area where perhaps
5:02:38
we hold tension, and as that area's message, you can
5:02:46
actually feel a sense of release in the back of
5:02:50
your neck, and maybe you can breathe it out as well.
5:03:01
Notice how it feels. Notice how you feel. Then moving
5:03:14
down to that area between your neck and your shoulders,
5:03:19
that musty area. Starting to message that area on both sides.
5:03:31
I mean, this would be the area that a lot
5:03:33
of people would message if they were going to give
5:03:35
you like a shoulder message. Even that's not technically the shoulders,
5:03:42
but it's all the muscles that lead to the shoulders.
5:03:46
Speaker 4: From the neck.
5:03:49
Speaker 1: And again that can hold tension and stress. And when massaged,
5:03:56
sometimes a nice deep message is useful, and you decide
5:04:04
how deep that message is and just allow my knuckles
5:04:22
just to dig in, to get to those muscles and
5:04:26
to really relaxed all the time being firm yet gentle
5:04:39
with you and just stroking down that area to your
5:04:56
actual shoulders, moving to the muscles of your shoulders and
5:05:08
maybe initially just pulling up the shoulders a little bit
5:05:13
of the table, just to give you a little bit
5:05:17
of a stretch, but very gently. And you've got the
5:05:27
muscles at the front of your shoulders, the sides and
5:05:31
the back. Again, this is a part that can really
5:05:43
take quite a bit of pressure, quite a bit of
5:05:50
needing if if you wish to really release the tension,
5:06:00
really get into those muscles and can let your fingers
5:06:06
in there make you feel really nice. Sometimes it's just
5:06:13
being stroked gently or being massaged quite strongly, can all
5:06:23
be beneficial to the relaxation. Put the muscles in your shoulders.
5:06:44
Now to move down your arms. We do one arm
5:06:54
at a time, starting with your right arm. Well I
5:07:04
do is I just lift your arm up, just hold
5:07:08
it to the side of you the way still be attached,
5:07:16
and I just message the tops of your arms all
5:07:31
the way down to your forearms into your wrists, gently
5:07:49
messaging that parts, the softer part, which is the under
5:08:01
part of the arm, which leads to the crease in
5:08:07
your elbow, the inside it's much more sensitive skin. Sometimes
5:08:23
just having that stroked I feel really nice, pleasurable and relaxing.
5:08:42
Now moving down to your right hand, just holding your
5:08:53
hand in both of my hands, just pressing gently on
5:09:07
the back of your hand and stretching your fingers ever
5:09:14
so lightly at the same time pressing down messaging each finger,
5:09:33
and then starting to massage the palms of the hand.
5:09:43
Just turning the hand gently, stretching it gently, and actually
5:09:55
having your hand held can really be an emotional experience
5:10:02
sometimes even if it is a stranger. So when you
5:10:08
don't know very well, like a massage person or a therapist,
5:10:13
maybe because it's intimate and you can feel nice, you
5:10:28
can feel safe. And as I put that right arm
5:10:39
back down where it was, we did the same with
5:10:47
your left arm, exactly the same. Massage the muscles, yes.
5:11:01
Speaker 4: And your arm all the way down.
5:11:04
Speaker 1: Do you rest, stroking the inside of your arm, just
5:11:16
being gentle or as firm as you require, and then
5:11:30
massaging your left hand, stretching the fingers, gently, massaging the
5:11:47
palm of your left hand, and you feel so so relaxing,
5:12:14
so comforting, and just rest your left arm back down.
5:12:39
Start to message your back, the biggest part of your body,
5:12:51
starting at the top, starting again where we already have been,
5:12:59
an area that up in between his shoulders, near your neck.
5:13:05
Going back the massage in that area again, but this
5:13:10
time moving downwards, taking a downward stroke to the middle
5:13:24
of your back, working from the outside inwards. It's a
5:13:31
massage in the your back, but the outsides of your back,
5:13:44
the parts where your arms would maybe rest against, almost
5:13:59
the hard that connects your front to your back. Just
5:14:12
messaging down firmly but gently, as firm as you want,
5:14:24
moving down and moving across a little bit, and moving
5:14:28
all the way down again, be very gentle yet firm
5:14:35
as you choose. Eventually you get to the spine. We
5:14:46
can massage the muscles and either side of your spine
5:14:51
from the top of your neck all the way down
5:14:57
to your lower back. We can do that a few times.
5:15:09
Sometimes people use the knuckle or the two fingers and
5:15:18
just go your side of the spine almost just push down,
5:15:25
go all the way down to the bottom of the spine,
5:15:29
each time releasing tension and opening up the body, stretching
5:15:40
your body so that you feel more relaxed but at
5:15:47
the same time rejuvenated. And now I'm going to move
5:16:03
to one side, to your right side, and from the
5:16:11
bottom of your ribs to your pelvis, I'm going to
5:16:17
massage that area of your back. I'll stretch over the
5:16:24
other side and I'll pull the muscles gently and massage
5:16:29
and push from one end that side or way to
5:16:34
my side in the middle of fact to where your
5:16:39
spine is massaging that side of your spine the opposite
5:16:46
side to where I'm standing. It's almost like kneading bread.
5:16:54
There's that big area which is firm yet but lots
5:17:00
there to message. Potentially one of the most important places
5:17:10
to actually have a message, because you really feel it.
5:17:18
You really feel the release and the pleasure of having
5:17:23
your lower back massaged. It releases so much from your
5:17:30
body that's not useful, starting a healing process which will
5:17:41
continue long after this recording is over. The message in
5:17:54
this part of your body not only feels really good
5:17:58
for you, actually fun to do because it is, as
5:18:03
I said, like kneading bread, it's a part that you
5:18:08
can really get hold of and really message deeply. If
5:18:16
that's your choice, then I'm going to move over to
5:18:26
the other side of your body and do the same
5:18:33
with the opposite part of your lawer back, kneading and
5:18:41
messaging from your sides all the way to the middle
5:18:49
of your back where your spine is pressing and kneading
5:19:03
firm and gentle at the same time. It feels so releasing.
5:19:13
This mixture of pleasure, comfort, release, calmness, relaxation or mixed together.
5:19:29
Plus there's that feeling from your stomach as it's being stretched.
5:19:36
Even though you're in your stomach now, you can feel
5:19:39
it being stretched because that whole area is connected to
5:19:43
your stomach. Now we're going to move or move further
5:19:54
up to your top of your body, and I'm going
5:19:59
to this this time starting with your upper back. Put
5:20:08
my hands forward over and mass massage in that area
5:20:17
up to your spine, from the side of your body
5:20:20
up to your spine. So some of that message area,
5:20:26
the muscle tissue or whatever fatty tissue even will be
5:20:32
possibly from your chest because or connected chest and the
5:20:38
back connect together. I'm going to be massaging and just
5:20:44
pulling some of that skin from your side up and
5:20:51
massaging that area of your upper back all the way
5:21:00
to your spine. And then I'll move down a bit
5:21:07
and I'll continue with the middle of your back, doing
5:21:10
exactly the same thing as gentle, as deep as you choose. Now,
5:21:29
I'll move or the other side again and do the
5:21:32
exact same thing with the top of your back on
5:21:37
the other side, from pretty much underneath your arm area
5:21:46
really to your spine, and then continue in that all
5:22:01
the way down, including your lower your middle of your back.
5:22:20
I'm gonna go to your thighs, the backs of your thighs,
5:22:28
and the sides of your thighs, starting with your right leg.
5:22:38
Massage in the back and the sides of your thighs
5:22:47
gently and firmly. There's a lot of muscles there. It's
5:22:54
an area that can be very tense at times and
5:22:57
maybe needs a little bit more pressure than the rest
5:23:01
of the body that's up to you. You can gently
5:23:09
stroke the back of your legs where you know, opposite
5:23:16
your knee joint or underneath your knee joint, very sensitive,
5:23:22
gentle area, and then working down to your calf muscles.
5:23:38
Massage in your calf muscles thoroughly and deeply, if you choose,
5:23:48
using both hands and fingers, digging deep to your ankles,
5:24:07
in the back of your back of your ankles, just
5:24:13
gently massage in the area, maybe lifting the leg and
5:24:25
stretching a little bit. Moving to the right foot, massaging
5:24:51
the bottom of your feet and the size of your
5:24:58
feet gently but firm enough so they don't tickle, and
5:25:15
just allow the pleasure that you get from having your
5:25:20
feet massaged to just overtake you as I continue to
5:25:30
message your feet, the bottoms of your feet, besides your arches,
5:25:41
your heel. You can put a lot of pressure into
5:25:45
your heel and it feels amazing, Yet the arches need
5:25:52
to be a bit more gentle. Stretching your toes gently,
5:26:03
a massage in the bottoms of your toes with my fingers,
5:26:09
each one individually, moving over to the left leg to
5:26:23
do exactly the same thing, starting at the top of
5:26:32
the thighs, work in the back of the thighs and
5:26:36
the sides, massaging deeply and gently the whole area, working
5:26:49
all the way down. And this is an area that
5:26:59
maybe you could like to spend more time relaxing and messaging.
5:27:10
So perhaps if you wanted like a bigger future recording wants,
5:27:16
spend more time on one particular area. As you move
5:27:25
down to your calf muscles, Massage in your calf muscles
5:27:39
firmly and gently, moving down your raincord into your feet,
5:27:55
Massage in the backs of your feet, the bottoms of
5:28:01
your feet, stretching your toes and message in each tone individually.
5:28:14
And the feeling of pleasure and release the you experience
5:28:19
when your having your feet massaged feels really good. Now
5:28:41
should turn over in your mind. Laying on your back,
5:28:53
I'm just going to start again for your neck area
5:29:06
in your shoulders, just to get back in touch with
5:29:13
that area. And as you move up, I can clean
5:29:31
my hands, make them more fresh, because now I'm gonna
5:29:35
message your face gently, starting off with your forehead. Your
5:29:52
eyes are closed and I can just stretch your eyes
5:29:58
a little bit, pushing up on your eyebrows and just
5:30:09
massaging around your scalp, massaging down your cheeks, around your ears,
5:30:25
into your chaw gently the side of your neck chin
5:30:45
mm hmm, and just moving down from your neck down
5:30:56
to your chest, starting by massage in the very top
5:31:04
of your chest where the collar bone is. Give a
5:31:13
side to the collarbone, and then just massage in the
5:31:25
hole of the chest, moving the chest around, because it's
5:31:46
quite a large area. You can move from one side
5:31:51
to the next, moving my hands underneath pretty much where
5:32:02
your arms are stretching up, stretching some of the muscles
5:32:11
of your back in the process, moving up over your
5:32:21
chest and they're moving down again, and then allowing my
5:32:41
hands to just massage gently and slide down towards your stomach,
5:32:50
starting in the middle of your chest, and then gradually
5:32:57
my hands moving apart and massaging and sliding at the
5:33:04
same time, moving down to just below your rid cage,
5:33:22
moving down, then massaging up again, giving your chest all
5:33:33
the attention that it needs to feel completely relaxed. Remembering them.
5:33:49
I'm also going to be focusing on your sides as well,
5:33:55
an area that really doesn't get much attention, but feels
5:34:01
really good when it's massaged, just stroking my hands down
5:34:12
the sides of your body, just below your arms all
5:34:19
the way down to your hips. Now move into your
5:34:32
stomach area. I'm going to stand one side of you
5:34:38
like I did when I did your lower back. I'm
5:34:42
gonna do a similar process of just stretching the muscles
5:34:48
from your side, gently massaging from one side to the next,
5:35:04
move in a whole area from below your ribs all
5:35:11
the way down to below your belly button, and then
5:35:21
move around to the other side of you and repeat
5:35:25
that process of relaxing, deeply, calmly. You feel loose, You
5:35:45
feel free. And it's something about having your stomach message
5:35:52
that's different from any other part because we do have
5:35:59
a tendency of holding a different kind of stress in
5:36:03
her stomach that we may not be aware of. As
5:36:13
a now message your stomach in front of your stomach,
5:36:20
making circles around your belly button, and then going the
5:36:31
other way around. There's a gentleness and a freedom that
5:36:41
comes from feeling how you're feeling. As I now move
5:36:53
down the tops of your thighs, the muscles mess sergeing
5:37:00
them and I can do this two legs at the
5:37:05
same time, pressing down, massaging deeply those muscles in your thighs,
5:37:17
at front of your thighs, and moving down to your knees,
5:37:26
gently massaging your knees, sliding down your shins, putting pressure
5:37:39
on either side of your shin gently softly but firmly,
5:37:51
moving down to your ankles, stroking the tops of your feet,
5:38:07
and then with each foot in each hand, just gently
5:38:13
messaging the whole of the foot, the top, the bottom,
5:38:22
your heel, your ankle, your toes, messaging every part of
5:38:30
your feet. Feels so good. Just let go and enjoy
5:38:41
the process. Enjoy feeling so deeply relaxed, so much comfort
5:39:05
and so many feelings come just from touching your skin.
5:39:23
And you can just lie there for as long as
5:39:29
you choose, enjoying the feeling of deep comfort from being massaged.
5:39:45
Speaker 4: By me.
5:39:53
Speaker 1: Enjoy feeling deeply right. And all we're gonna do is
5:40:18
blow out some candles. In your mind, there are going
5:40:35
to be a hundred candles, and you're going to blow
5:40:45
each one out individually, one by one, starting at one hundred.
5:40:57
As I count down all the way down to one,
5:41:09
and each time I say a number, you can imagine
5:41:18
that candle in front of you, and I'd like you
5:41:24
to actually physically gently blow that candle out, just it's
5:41:44
not big.
5:41:46
Speaker 5: Blows, just a gentle, and that candle will extinguish.
5:42:00
Speaker 1: And then I'll say the next number as we move down,
5:42:08
and you can just blow that one out as well.
5:42:20
And as we move down the numbers, you'll find yourself
5:42:30
feeling more and more relaxed. If you need to sleep,
5:42:39
you'll also find yourself becoming incredibly tired and sleepy. In fact,
5:42:52
you may struggle to blow out all one hundred of
5:43:02
these candles as you feel more and more deeply relaxed,
5:43:27
more and more deeply tired, And the further you go down,
5:43:47
the more your mind starts to drift. You may find
5:44:01
that you stop listening to me after a while. And
5:44:16
even though there may be background sounds where you are,
5:44:25
you'll be aware of those sounds at the moment, be
5:44:37
may start to just not even notice.
5:44:47
Speaker 5: Them at all because they're unimportant.
5:45:04
Speaker 4: Where I am, I've got.
5:45:08
Speaker 1: The sounds of the birds, there's horrors, the pigeon who
5:45:15
likes to say hello sometimes, and there's the odd plane
5:45:21
that goes by, maybe traffic and trains in the distance,
5:45:38
but none of that scene is important whatsoever. More candles
5:45:50
you blow out, the less important anything is. More candles
5:46:05
you blow out, the further seem to move away from
5:46:22
sounds and from general date days. Stuff seems to just
5:46:37
move away on its own. You feel more calmer with
5:46:56
every candle you blow out.
5:47:00
Speaker 14: Mhm M.
5:47:07
Speaker 1: Guiding you the next number, do you hear me say?
5:47:25
And then you blow that candle out to h So easy,
5:47:42
so simple. We're gonna start by introducing the first candle,
5:48:06
which is a hundred. First candles one hundred. When you
5:48:24
blow that candle out, you'll find immediately a slight change
5:48:45
in how you feel, as well as a real sense
5:48:53
of positivity growing within you, relaxation and sleepiness expanding. Starting
5:49:24
with one hundred blow out back candle now ninety nine,
5:50:11

6:44:51
Speaker 7: Hey seven.
6:46:00
Speaker 1: Two ten.
6:46:59
Speaker 7: Four.
6:47:05
Speaker 1: Let go of all of those thoughts, worries, concerns about
6:47:12
the past, thoughts about the future, and even things you've
6:47:19
been thinking about today. Just let it all go because
6:47:26
none of it is useful in this moment. This is
6:47:35
your opportunity to just focus on feeling relaxed, allowing yourself
6:47:55
to get in touch with that naturals of peace that
6:48:05
we all have within us. It's available for everyone. It
6:48:12
just sometimes takes a little bit of effort to set
6:48:17
up the right time and place in order for you
6:48:23
to just let go. Because when you do decide to
6:48:33
let go and relax, that's what your body starts to
6:48:38
do because you've chosen, You've chosen to just allow your
6:48:48
body to unwind and your mind starts to slow down.
6:48:57
And it's a nice feeling. It's a nice feeling at
6:49:02
the beginning, just to know that you have chosen to
6:49:08
decide to relax deeply and because you've made that decision,
6:49:19
your body will just follow suit. Because sometimes all the
6:49:26
muscles in your body need is just permission from you
6:49:32
to relax. Because so often we're busy, we're going from
6:49:40
here to there, we're walking around, and we're doing stuff,
6:49:47
and the body doesn't have any time or space to
6:49:53
really relax deeply. So kind of way, it's for you
6:50:00
to lead the way waits for your permission. And when
6:50:10
you do give your permission, when you give.
6:50:16
Speaker 4: The say so we need say okay, it's time.
6:50:22
Speaker 1: For your body to let go completely and relax totally,
6:50:32
your body just follows. It's like a breath of relief.
6:50:40
Ah good, I can now relax. That feeling at the
6:50:48
end of a day, of a very physical day that
6:50:51
you may experience in the past. But you get home
6:50:55
and you just sit down on a chair, maybe you
6:50:59
kick shoes off, and are feels so nice knowing that
6:51:06
you don't have to get up again for a little
6:51:10
while at least, if you choose, you can just sit
6:51:14
there for maybe an hour to it feels blissful. And
6:51:27
just by sitting down like that, your body knows that
6:51:32
it's time to relax. Your body has been given permission
6:51:37
from you because it's a mindset. In your mind, you're
6:51:47
prepared to let go of everything and just completely allow
6:51:59
all the stress of your body to evaporate. Any tensions
6:52:09
can just gradually vanish. It's almost like magic, really, because
6:52:28
that sense of relaxation in your body, it's a very
6:52:34
natural state. It's not something unusual. It may feel unusual
6:52:42
when you first start to relax, if you if you
6:52:45
haven't really spent a lot of time focusing and giving
6:52:50
yourself this space to let go completely and relax, they
6:52:55
seem are most alien, but it isn't. It's actually the
6:53:03
most natural thing in the world to let go completely,
6:53:10
to relax totally, the most natural thing in the world
6:53:20
to allow yourself to feel really calm in your mind.
6:53:33
And it is almost like a literal unwinding. It's like
6:53:41
you press a button and all the tension just releases,
6:53:50
and it's like a wheel, like a cog, like the
6:53:53
inside of a clock, just unwinding. And it's almost like
6:53:57
you could see the little wind up knob that's used
6:54:03
just going the opposite way that you choose to wind
6:54:07
it up, and the energy that fremetic stress for energy
6:54:17
gradually winding down, losing its power, losing its strength as
6:54:28
a sense of relaxation becomes stronger and deeper, and you
6:54:37
may find a the more relaxed you feel, that your
6:54:46
mind starts to wonder, maybe seemed to stop listening to.
6:54:56
Speaker 15: Me for a while.
6:54:58
Speaker 1: Your mind goes somewhere else, and then you realize you're
6:55:04
listening to me again, and that's just your mind to
6:55:09
drift in to sleep, which is quite natural, because sometimes
6:55:20
when we're stressed and tense, we're not I mean I
6:55:26
actually be aware of what we need, what we physically
6:55:32
or emotionally need in this moment. But when you allow
6:55:42
your body and mind to relax completely, and you let
6:55:48
go of all thoughts, concerns, worries, ideas, all letting them go,
6:55:58
allow them to drop onto the floor, you start to
6:56:09
get in touch with the feelings of such relaxation. This
6:56:20
feels so nice to be in touch with the calmness
6:56:28
of the different body parts as they become looser and looser.
6:56:42
Speaker 4: Even your breathing seems.
6:56:46
Speaker 1: Easier and more natural, effortless, as that cool adenters through
6:56:56
your mouth or nose into your life, breathing in comfort
6:57:06
and relaxation, and then just breathing out any excess remain
6:57:14
intentional stress from every part of your body and mind.
6:57:26
And as you start to focus on your mind, maybe
6:57:31
you notice that things come to a standstill or maybe
6:57:40
just much much lower than before because your mind is
6:57:48
not really needed when listening to my voice, which allows
6:57:59
your mind to relax just as deeply as your body.
6:58:08
And that's synchronicity between the relaxation of your body relaxation
6:58:21
of your mind. Let you know that feeling completely calm, loose,
6:58:33
and relaxed really is a great healing experience for you
6:58:47
and has so many positive benefits for your body, mind, end,
6:59:00
and your life. To be able to let go everything
6:59:09
and to relax completely, you know, all parts of your
6:59:17
body and mind. Even your bones has arixed, all your
6:59:28
muscles are rised, even the skin that covers your body
6:59:44
is relaxed. Every hair.
6:59:55
Speaker 16: That you have.
6:59:57
Speaker 1: Is also deeply relaxed, and your brain restarts the feel
7:00:15
the benefits.
7:00:18
Speaker 5: But this.
7:00:20
Speaker 1: Healing relaxation, and as you focus on the inside of
7:00:33
your scalp where your brain is, you can start to
7:00:38
realize and notice the benefits of your brain relaxing deeply.
7:00:52
And then as your brain continues to relax sends those
7:01:02
messages to the rest of your body.
7:01:08
Speaker 7: And your mind.
7:01:12
Speaker 1: To re relax more deeply, relax in more completely, letting
7:01:35
go of any remaining forces or consers, allowed them just
7:01:47
to drop onto the floor because they're no longer necessary
7:01:55
in this moment, this moments of deep relaxation and calmness, filling.
7:02:12
Speaker 15: Your brain.
7:02:14
Speaker 1: With deep concentrated heathing, calming, relaxing every part of your
7:02:37
brain feeling so loose and comfortable, so relaxed and peaceful.
7:03:02
Your brain feels.
7:03:06
Speaker 14: So light.
7:03:09
Speaker 15: And so healthy.
7:03:13
Speaker 1: In that sense of deep deep comfort really does allow you.
7:03:27
Speaker 4: To enjoy.
7:03:30
Speaker 1: Those ever increasing sensations of comfort that are spreading throughout
7:03:42
your body, relaxing each and every muscle of your body,
7:03:55
e deeper and deeper, much more deeper than before, much
7:04:17
more comfort spreading through your body. In your mind, be
7:04:33
so peaceful and calm, so very very peaceful, in a
7:04:49
very part of your body, letting go a everything, everything,
7:05:08

7:06:19
such peace and comfort growing all all the time, such
7:06:32
peace and comfort, spreading through your body and mind deep
7:06:46
and deeper such comforts, Spreading and sinking deeper.
7:07:01
Speaker 4: Into airy muscle of your body, so that you feel.
7:07:12
Speaker 1: Amazing, so laxed, so piece, so sola and peace, so
7:07:36
letting go.
7:07:41
Speaker 7: Everything.
7:07:46
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do a body scan, focusing on firstly how
7:07:53
you feel in your body, Not trying to change how
7:07:58
you feel, not trying to relax, not trying to move
7:08:04
away from any discomfort or stress or tension. Just accepting,
7:08:12
observing and accepting how you feel in the different parts
7:08:18
of your body, just allowing yourself to be exactly as
7:08:24
you are, to notice, to get in touch with how
7:08:36
you actually feel in this moment. I'm going to start
7:08:44
off by focusing on your hands. Just be aware of
7:08:55
your hands. I'd like you to move your hands around,
7:09:04
just maybe move your fingers.
7:09:06
Speaker 4: A little bit.
7:09:09
Speaker 1: I've been and closing your hands very gently, just so
7:09:16
that you can get in touch with how your hands
7:09:24
and your fingers feel, very very slow movements. Focusing now
7:09:45
on your feet, and if you can just do kind
7:09:52
of an equivalent with your feet, is you've just done
7:09:57
with your hands, turn in your ankles, moving your feet around,
7:10:08
moving your toes gently, but only very gently and very slowly,
7:10:21
noticing how your feet feel in this moment. Focusing now
7:10:37
and your eyes, and I'd like you to just focus
7:10:44
on your eyelids. Maybe you can open and close your
7:10:50
eyes a couple.
7:10:51
Speaker 4: Of times to really get in touch with how.
7:10:56
Speaker 1: You feel when you do close your eyes. The muscle
7:11:01
changes in your eyes when you do close them, maybe
7:11:10
raising your eyebrows. It stretches the tops of your eyes,
7:11:19
perhaps squinting your eyes, scrunching up your eyes just so
7:11:28
you can hear it again. Touch with all aspects of
7:11:37
how your eyes feel.
7:11:43
Speaker 15: Right now.
7:11:53
Speaker 1: Now focus in on your thighs, and you know it
7:11:59
just starts you to gently tense your thighs, just very
7:12:07
very gently, just enough so you can become more attuned
7:12:20
to the physical sensation of your upper legs, the front
7:12:29
of your thighs, in the backs of your thighs, noticing
7:12:39
and observing how your thighs feel. Right now, moving your
7:12:57
focus to the back of your neck, just noticing the
7:13:05
back of your neck the muscles, and of course they
7:13:11
lead to the side.
7:13:13
Speaker 4: Of your neck.
7:13:15
Speaker 1: They also lead to the top of your back, which
7:13:20
leads to your shoulders. So as your focus on the.
7:13:26
Speaker 4: Back of your neck.
7:13:29
Speaker 1: Maybe you can move your head gently upwards as if
7:13:35
you're looking up. Maybe moving your head down as if
7:13:43
you're looking down. Perhaps moving your head side to side,
7:13:51
right to left, only very slowly, very gently. I'm not
7:14:04
trying to force anything.
7:14:08
Speaker 15: It has to be very.
7:14:12
Speaker 1: Very gentle, just so you can be more in touch
7:14:25
with the feelings, with the sensations physical sensations of how
7:14:37
the back of your neck feels.
7:14:42
Speaker 4: Right now, as we.
7:14:53
Speaker 1: Now focus on the tops of your arms, the parts
7:15:01
where your biceps and your triceps are between your elbow
7:15:06
and your shoulders. To focus on those parts, the tops
7:15:15
of your arms, you may like to just tense them,
7:15:22
but very very gently and slowly. See you're not straining
7:15:34
or putting any pressure whatsoever.
7:15:41
Speaker 7: On your arms.
7:15:44
Speaker 4: It's just so that you can gain more of a
7:15:51
sense of how your upper arms.
7:15:58
Speaker 1: Are feeling in this moment, and just noticing as you gently,
7:16:12
very gently and slowly tighten the muscles.
7:16:21
Speaker 4: And then let go.
7:16:26
Speaker 1: Notice how the tops of your arms feel right now,
7:16:42
as in now focus on your stomach, the area the
7:16:53
lower abdomen area below your belly button, moving all the
7:17:00
way down to your hips, just a part of your grind.
7:17:13
Maybe you're able to tense these muscles in that area
7:17:21
very very gently and slowly. If that's a difficult thing
7:17:37
to do, maybe you can just move your body, pushing
7:17:46
your stomach up, maybe moving a little bit to the
7:17:51
side using your hips, just so you can get more
7:18:00
in tune.
7:18:03
Speaker 4: With how your lower abdomen area.
7:18:10
Speaker 1: Is feeling.
7:18:15
Speaker 4: In this moment.
7:18:22
Speaker 1: Just noticing the physical sensations or your lower abdomen as
7:18:45
you move your attention.
7:18:51
Speaker 4: To your mouth, notice in your lips.
7:19:01
Speaker 1: And inside your mouth, the tea, your guns, your tongue.
7:19:19
Just noticing.
7:19:21
Speaker 4: How your tongue in your mouth feels, and it may
7:19:28
help by.
7:19:31
Speaker 1: Moving your tongue around your mouth, moving it to your left,
7:19:40
maybe pressing it gently against the side of your mouth,
7:19:47
and then to the right, gently to the side of
7:19:52
your mouth, perhaps pressing up against the top of your mouth,
7:20:01
and then down gently against the bottom of your mouth,
7:20:10
always very slowly, in a very very gentle.
7:20:25
Speaker 4: So that you can.
7:20:30
Speaker 1: Be aware.
7:20:36
Speaker 4: Of how you feel in your mouth area.
7:20:54
Speaker 1: Now I'm going to focus on your wrists and I'm
7:21:14
going to ask you to maybe just rotate your wrists
7:21:22
by moving your hands in a circular motion very gently
7:21:32
and slowly, just.
7:21:38
Speaker 4: So that you can.
7:21:45
Speaker 1: Feel the sensations that you are currently experience in your wrists.
7:22:08
Perhaps move in your hands up and down again very
7:22:21
very gently and slowly, very gentzl and slow, as you
7:22:58
now start to observe a lower pack. The bad part
7:23:15
is just above your hips where your coxis are a
7:23:33
whole area which also really does include the signs of
7:23:40
your body because those muscles are very much connected as
7:23:51
those muscles also move into your hip aia connecting to
7:23:58
your buttocks the sides of your hips, and if you're
7:24:14
physically able to do so, maybe very gently just move
7:24:26
body ever so slightly, very slowly from side to side,
7:24:43
just enough to gauge how you feel.
7:24:58
Speaker 15: In your lord.
7:25:07
Speaker 1: Perhaps it could even move your hips gently.
7:25:17
Speaker 4: Up and down.
7:25:21
Speaker 1: Gently, slowly.
7:25:27
Speaker 4: In order to be in touch with the physical sensations.
7:25:41
Speaker 15: Of your lower back. As we now move.
7:26:06
Speaker 1: Your attention to your jaw, that area from your chin
7:26:18
all the way up to near where your ears are. Oh,
7:26:26
your jaw, you can just yeah, it's okay to do so.
7:26:43
Gently open your mouth, not wide, no stretching, just very
7:26:55
gently and slowly opening your mouth thing closing your mouth
7:27:10
very gently and slowly so you can.
7:27:28
Speaker 4: Be in touch.
7:27:35
Speaker 1: With how your jaw feels now and I to sit
7:28:09
now your chest area, and you don't need to do
7:28:24
anything to move your chest because it moves every time
7:28:33
you breathe, and it moves very gently and slowly automatically
7:28:51
with each breath you takee As you focus on how
7:29:06
your chest feels. When you pray, move in your focus
7:29:52
to your forms, your numbers. Maybe you're able to very
7:30:08
gently and slowly tense the muscles in your forms, and
7:30:22
when you do that, you can feel your elbows as well,
7:30:39
very gently and slowly, gently.
7:31:00
Speaker 7: An softly.
7:31:05
Speaker 1: Absad your forearms and del bas no focus the rest
7:31:44
of your back, your upper back in the middle, the
7:31:58
middle of your back again this part of your body
7:32:17
news Also every time you pray, you may not notice
7:32:29
that usually makes you observe your upper back in the
7:32:43
middle of your back. You can really feel.
7:32:53
Speaker 7: That.
7:32:55
Speaker 1: Gentle and minn your focus.
7:33:47
Speaker 15: Into the.
7:33:49
Speaker 1: Area the buttics, the brain, those muscles, and those bones
7:34:05
in your midsection. Just noticing how you're hips.
7:34:41
Speaker 4: Feel.
7:34:45
Speaker 1: Right now, you can very very gently leave your hips
7:35:08
maybe side to side, very gently and slowly, y verry gently, softly,
7:35:56
slowly everything starts to slow down, including the thoughts in
7:36:18
your mind, and your mind itself just starts to gradually.
7:36:30
It doesn't have to be instant, but just gradually starting too.
7:36:38
It's almost like time is storing chin It's a slower
7:36:47
pace to maybe what you're used to in your day
7:36:55
to day life. It's a slower movement of energy, very
7:37:22
small movements which make up the larger movements, which is
7:37:30
always the case. When you move your hand, it might
7:37:38
seem like it's one movement, but it's lots of minute
7:37:43
different muscles moving in accordance with each other. And what
7:37:54
happens in this space that we should sharing is.
7:38:06
Speaker 4: We move from.
7:38:10
Speaker 1: That big movement into those smaller movements. Starting to focus
7:38:29
on how your body feels, not just as a whole,
7:38:40
not just oh, i'm feel in this way. I'm feeling
7:38:44
stressed or tense, or I'm feeling relaxed and calm. I'm
7:38:50
feeling this way, I'm feeling that way. Starting to notice
7:38:58
that your body begins to present to you small feelings
7:39:11
around your body, small physical sensations in your legs, whether
7:39:29
pleasurable or not. Maybe resisting the temptation to label them
7:39:45
or to judge them. Those feelings just thinking them thinking
7:39:52
about them is just being neutral, just feelings, not being
7:40:07
particularly concerned, but just noticing what your body is telling you,
7:40:25
the feelings in your arms, instead of feeling the whole
7:40:31
of the arm. Maybe notice those individual feelings, all those
7:40:41
different muscles and the skin, the hairs of your arms,
7:40:55
all the internal parts of your arms, the veins, the bones,
7:41:12
just being aware of maybe your elbow on your right
7:41:18
arm has a certain feeling. Maybe your left wrist also
7:41:29
has its own individual physical sensation.
7:41:51
Speaker 18: What about your forearm on your right arm, your right forearm,
7:42:05
there may not be any.
7:42:06
Speaker 1: Particular feeling that you could even give a name to,
7:42:17
may not feel like anything other than just a feeling.
7:42:22
Speaker 15: You know, it's there.
7:42:30
Speaker 1: The feelings in your shoulders, perhaps your shoulders when you
7:42:36
think about them, kind of almost like they're the same,
7:42:41
you know, the same feeling, almost like both of your
7:42:46
shoulders are just one thing. Of course they're not. And
7:43:00
when you focus on your left shoulder and then on
7:43:05
your right shoulder, maybe find that you move the muscles
7:43:12
a little bit, maybe tense the muscles gently, noticing the
7:43:24
difference in each shoulder.
7:43:41
Speaker 4: Your lower back, the left side of your lower back and.
7:43:57
Speaker 1: The right side of your lower back. Yeah, cause that
7:44:08
connection to your buttocks and to your hips and also
7:44:21
moving up into the middle of your back. And sometimes
7:44:35
like right now, actually, when I focus on their part,
7:44:40
when I focused on my buttocks and then I focused
7:44:44
on the middle of my back, I almost felt like
7:44:49
the muscles in my lower back were being stretched very gently,
7:44:58
but just stretched just a little bit. Even though I
7:45:03
wasn't doing anything to try to stretch your lower back,
7:45:12
it just seemed to happen. The feeling of very gently
7:45:22
stretching your lower back comes along feeling in your chest.
7:45:52
Just noticing what sensations you are experiencing in your chest
7:46:05
right now. And there's so much of the chest. Obviously,
7:46:22
there's the collar bone leading to the chest. You've got
7:46:25
the chest bone, You've got the muscles in your chest.
7:46:37
Of course, if you're female, there's possibly the breasts. Your
7:46:43
male you've got the different well why not that different
7:46:51
these days, But there may be more.
7:46:57
Speaker 4: Muscles at the top of the chest, but at the
7:47:03
side underneath, it's pretty.
7:47:07
Speaker 1: Much the same. Whether you're a man or a woman.
7:47:10
There's muscles there, muscles that stretch out to your back
7:47:17
as well as breast tissue. It stretches and moves into
7:47:21
your back to just being aware of your chest, being
7:47:44
with whatever feeling there is in your chest. When I
7:48:04
noticed that, I focus on my chest, I feel it
7:48:12
in my back and my upper back. I mean, I
7:48:17
guess the obvious reason would be because you know, I'll
7:48:20
breathe in in, then it stretches my chest and my
7:48:31
back at the same time. It feels.
7:48:44
Speaker 4: It feels okay, it doesn't feel I got a little
7:48:55
bit of pain in my right chest, a little bit
7:49:02
not pain, but little discomfort, maybe.
7:49:06
Speaker 1: Stiffness, possibly, I don't know. I noticed my shoulders are
7:49:14
also wanting to flex for some reason. I think that's
7:49:23
probably part of my upper back, that connection between my
7:49:32
shoulders and my upper back, because I can move my
7:49:36
shoulders and stretch the muscles in my back, moving the
7:49:43
shoulders backwards or up, which then moves. I think it's
7:49:50
the scapulous.
7:49:54
Speaker 4: In your back.
7:50:04
Speaker 1: It feels quite nice. Actually, A good thing about this
7:50:12
is you can, if you want to, you can just
7:50:21
flex or stimulate the various muscles in your body gently
7:50:34
in order to get more of the sense of how
7:50:37
they feel and when you're relaxing, when you do tense
7:50:52
and muscle and you let it go and you let
7:50:56
it relax. It relaxes.
7:51:02
Speaker 15: Way more.
7:51:04
Speaker 1: Than it would normally. That you have to feel that
7:51:14
you're able to do that. There's no point doing it
7:51:18
if there's an issue with the per part of your body.
7:51:28
You need to be gentle with yourself at all times
7:51:37
when relaxing deeply. It's important to be kind to yourself
7:51:56
as you notice your mind. How much has your mind
7:52:05
slowed down since we started this recording? How came and
7:52:32
peaceful is your mind right now? We have nothing to
7:52:44
think about and just my voice to listen to. Because
7:52:54
you know, the intention behind this recording is relaxation. At
7:53:05
the very least, for you to feel more relaxed at
7:53:11
the end of the recording than you did at the beginning,
7:53:20
at the very least, for your mind to slow down
7:53:31
because your body continues to relax, because that's.
7:53:44
Speaker 12: What you.
7:53:46
Speaker 1: Want to happen. That's what you expect to happen, a
7:54:06
relaxation to fill.
7:54:13
Speaker 4: Your body, maybe calm in your mind.
7:54:25
Speaker 1: To the point of boredom. When you start maybe to.
7:54:39
Speaker 19: Drift away, it's almost as if you're moving further away from.
7:55:23
Speaker 4: Your body in your mind, just leaving that there.
7:55:37
Speaker 1: Kind of liking it an escape pod and the spaceship
7:55:41
a movie, a space movie. You know when to get
7:55:45
into that little part in it, since the mom far
7:55:51
away from the spaceship, save dream, continue to relax, drifting.
7:57:00
Speaker 15: Sigh loo.
7:57:14
Speaker 12: And p so.
7:57:31
Speaker 4: So rare o pie sel.
7:58:07
Speaker 1: And focusing on the feeling for those individual parts of
7:58:22
your body that are relaxing.
7:58:30
Speaker 4: One by one.
7:58:38
Speaker 1: You may find that every now and then.
7:58:50
Speaker 4: You realize that you aren't listening.
7:58:57
Speaker 1: To my voice because your mind started to imagine something different,
7:59:09
maybe started to almost move into some kind of a
7:59:19
dreamy state, and then you become aware of my voice again.
7:59:32
And even though you may want to focus on my voice,
7:59:39
you may also wish to allow your mind to just
7:59:47
drift naturally into that space of comfort and safety. As
8:00:07
you feel more comfort spreading through your body like a
8:00:25
warm blanket covering you gently, keeping your body at just
8:00:42
the perfect temperature, and even if you can hear background sounds,
8:01:05
they just don't seem to matter anymore. There's that sensor
8:01:20
peace spreads through your mind like a gentle breeze, yet
8:01:37
strong enough to blow away all negativity, strong.
8:01:49
Speaker 15: Enough to.
8:01:53
Speaker 1: Remove from your mind any anxiety, your stress, that was
8:02:03
there before, and blow away any other thoughts or feelings
8:02:19
that just don't fit with the sense relaxation that is
8:02:44
feeling your body end your mind un as you focus
8:03:10
on your mind and count down from ten down to one,
8:03:18
and with each number you hear, your mind will become.
8:03:34
Speaker 4: Slightly more relaxed, just just slightly so.
8:03:52
Speaker 1: From ten down to nine, just a slight movement, nye
8:04:00
down to eight, just another small change in how you feel.
8:04:18
Eight down to seven. That feelings is a gap, almost
8:04:26
like a gap that starts to get wider, the gap
8:04:32
between those feelings that you used to have in your
8:04:40
mind compared to the feelings you have there growing now,
8:04:51
feelings of comfort and security and confidence, and the gap
8:05:01
becomes wider. Eight down to seven, seven down to six.
8:05:11
When you get to five, the mind will start to
8:05:17
have a certain physical sensation, most like there's a magnet
8:05:30
outside of your head sucking the tension and the stress
8:05:37
and any remaining feelings that you don't want, sucking them
8:05:44
out through your skull. And in down to four you
8:05:55
can start to really experience that sense of not just emptiness,
8:06:04
but space, a place full of fresh air, place where
8:06:18
you can stretch. It's almost as if as you go
8:06:24
down to four and three, your mind is expanding with
8:06:30
this sense.
8:06:35
Speaker 4: Of peace.
8:06:38
Speaker 1: And tranquility growing it moves down to when you get
8:06:48
to one, your mind just feels exactly how you want
8:06:58
to feel, almost a perfect feeling, maybe a sensation that.
8:07:19
Speaker 4: You'd like to keep.
8:07:24
Speaker 1: A place that's safe, where nothing can affect you at all,
8:07:46
and you can stay in that a space of conform confidence,
8:07:56
confident in your own ability to create this space and
8:08:03
this feeling of comfort within your own mind just by
8:08:10
counting ten.
8:08:14
Speaker 4: Down to one.
8:08:19
Speaker 1: And this is something that you can do yourself when
8:08:23
you're on your own, the time when you can maybe
8:08:31
sit down, maybe just for a few minutes, close your eyes,
8:08:43
just count slowly from ten.
8:08:49
Speaker 4: Down to one.
8:08:55
Speaker 1: And re experience these feelings in your mind. And when
8:09:08
you feel that way in your mind, your body copies
8:09:17
your mind, and a feeling is spread through your spine
8:09:29
and your nervous system into every part of your body,
8:09:36
travels through your bloodstream, heathing and relaxing every particle of
8:09:51
your existence. Now we can we can practice this a
8:10:08
few times before the end of the recording, and then
8:10:16
you can practice on your own. But each time you
8:10:23
count for ten about one. The feelings of comfort, calmness,
8:10:36
deep deep relaxation becomes stronger and deeper feeling your mind
8:10:55
and your brain. With these positive chemicals, the spread throughout
8:11:05
your body, relaxing you so quickly, relaxing your whole body
8:11:15
and mind so very.
8:11:21
Speaker 4: Very easily, just by counting ten down to one. So
8:11:37
we're gonna do now.
8:11:39
Speaker 1: I'm going to count from ten down to one, and
8:11:43
I'd like you to repeat the number after me. So
8:11:48
when I say ten, you can just repeat to yourself ten.
8:12:02
Just notice, be aware of how you feel in your
8:12:12
mind and your body. Then when I say nine, you
8:12:21
can beat to yourself nine a game, noticing the increase
8:12:37
in comfort and calmness in your mind and in your body.
8:12:51
The same when I say eight, when I say seven, six,
8:13:03
when I say five, four, when I say three, two,
8:13:22
and lastly when I say one, can beat that number.
8:13:36
Speaker 4: Now, of course, when you do this.
8:13:39
Speaker 1: On your own without listening to me, you can say
8:13:45
the numbers or whatever speed that you feel is necessary
8:13:54
for you, so you can adapt. So you feel you
8:14:01
want to say the numbers ten down to one faster
8:14:08
than I do, then you go ahead and do that.
8:14:12
Or if you feel when you do it yourself, that
8:14:16
you'd like to have more more space between the numbers,
8:14:25
maybe take a lot longer to get from ten.
8:14:31
Speaker 4: All the way down to one. That's your choice also
8:14:40
to do.
8:14:50
Speaker 1: So I'm going to count from ten down to one.
8:14:58
Speaker 14: I want to get to one.
8:15:01
Speaker 1: I will at the end of this recording. The let's
8:15:06
of course you're listening with music and the musicle continue.
8:15:18
Speaker 15: Ten nine.
8:15:57
Speaker 1: Waits four h twenty ninety eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen,
8:20:31
twelve eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three.
8:21:21
Speaker 15: Two one.
8:21:36
Speaker 1: Now open your eyes, noticing how you physically feel having
8:21:47
counted down from twenty to one, allowing stress and tension
8:21:55
to leave through your fingertips and your tails. As you
8:22:00
focus on your fingertips, maybe they feel a little bit tingly,
8:22:08
which is I suppose quite understanding, considering the tension has
8:22:13
been exiting.
8:22:14
Speaker 4: Your body through your fingertips. So now I'm going to
8:22:23
count from twenty down to one again.
8:22:26
Speaker 7: This time.
8:22:30
Speaker 4: You got to feel relief of tension and stress in
8:22:36
the anxiety that.
8:22:37
Speaker 14: You may have.
8:22:42
Speaker 1: Leaving through your stomach, just leaving through your stomach, almost
8:22:51
as if it's just releasing.
8:22:55
Speaker 4: The whole of your stomach, your navel.
8:23:00
Speaker 1: To just above your chest or below your chest, rather
8:23:04
so surrounding your belly by an area.
8:23:06
Speaker 15: The whole area.
8:23:09
Speaker 1: You can feel the tension of your body where it's left,
8:23:14
just releasing from that area, and you may notice that
8:23:19
your stomach will become very relaxed. As I countdown from
8:23:26
twenty down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three.
8:24:59
Speaker 3: Two what.
8:25:09
Speaker 1: And you can open your eyes again if you choose,
8:25:12
or you can just keep them closed because the girls relaxing.
8:25:18
Just notice how your stomach girls, I notice, there's your focus.
8:25:23
Just do a little scan of your body.
8:25:28
Speaker 4: Just notice how.
8:25:29
Speaker 1: Your body feels, focusing on your upper body, in your back, chest, stomach, legs, arms, hands, feet.
8:25:45
Speaker 4: Just noticing, and you know you may start to feel.
8:25:54
Speaker 1: More the sense of tiredness, which may be the reason
8:25:59
listening to this according because you.
8:26:04
Speaker 14: Like to.
8:26:06
Speaker 1: Let go completely of everything.
8:26:11
Speaker 4: And dread.
8:26:13
Speaker 1: Off into a nice, natural, calm, relaxing sleep. So now
8:26:28
we're going to focus on your forehead, and if you choose,
8:26:38
you can incorporate your eyes in this focus as well.
8:26:43
Speaker 4: Your forehead and your eyes.
8:26:47
Speaker 1: It's that whole area basically, almost as if you were
8:26:51
wearing a mask, you.
8:26:53
Speaker 4: Know, like a I don't know, a Batman mask or something, or.
8:27:00
Speaker 1: I'm trying to fa zorro or something, you know, the
8:27:03
kind of mask that covers your eyes but also covers
8:27:06
quite a lot of the forehead. I'm focusing on that
8:27:12
area because that's the area that we're now going to
8:27:15
release tension and stress from your.
8:27:18
Speaker 15: Mind and your brain.
8:27:22
Speaker 1: From your mind and any tension that you may have
8:27:25
remaining your face, in your neck and your jawl, your eyes,
8:27:32
your forehead, and all your scalp. So basically any tension
8:27:39
within your head area, including your mind and your brain,
8:27:47
and that's going to be released through your forehead and
8:27:52
your eyes. As I count down again from twenty down
8:27:59
to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four.
8:29:33
Speaker 7: Three what.
8:29:51
Speaker 4: Mattice, she scan your face mature ye.
8:30:01
Speaker 1: The cheap bones, your ears, your forehead, your scalp, your neck,
8:30:11
the back of your neck, in the front of your neck,
8:30:14
the side of your neck, and the throat HM noticing
8:30:25
being aware of the comfort increased in the relaxation, not
8:30:37
just in your head and neck and mind, also the
8:30:42
rest of your body.
8:30:48
Speaker 4: Just notice how loose and calm you feel, and how easily.
8:30:57
Speaker 14: It is to just let go.
8:31:01
Speaker 1: Completely.
8:31:05
Speaker 14: Let go.
8:31:07
Speaker 1: Completely, now easily. So I'm going to do vows and
8:31:28
to focus.
8:31:29
Speaker 14: On the top of your head.
8:31:35
Speaker 4: A am we going to allow.
8:31:38
Speaker 7: Every last.
8:31:41
Speaker 1: Piece of tension or stress that mind be lingering or
8:31:48
hiding in your body or mind head.
8:31:54
Speaker 20: To just.
8:31:56
Speaker 4: Be sucked out at the top.
8:31:58
Speaker 14: Of your head, released into the air.
8:32:08
Speaker 4: I once sucked down into the clouds.
8:32:13
Speaker 1: Imagine a bit cloud of got your head, almost like
8:32:17
a whirlpool.
8:32:19
Speaker 4: And this is can suck that tension.
8:32:23
Speaker 14: Out at the top of your head.
8:32:27
Speaker 4: And just take away.
8:32:30
Speaker 12: The good.
8:32:34
Speaker 1: To focus. Imagine an opening on the top of your
8:32:37
head with that tension, stress and any remaining issues may
8:32:44
be worries of concerns that have no.
8:32:47
Speaker 14: Use to you.
8:32:48
Speaker 4: Now you can all be sucked down at the top
8:32:52
of your head.
8:32:54
Speaker 1: I've taken away. As I count down again, twenty down
8:33:01
to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, even.
8:34:14
Speaker 15: Ten, nine.
8:34:27
Speaker 1: Eight seven.
8:34:39
Speaker 15: Six five.
8:34:49
Speaker 4: Four three.
8:35:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, wah, breathe. I'm noticing how you feel, how relaxed
8:35:30
and calm you physically and mentally feel right now, how
8:35:44
peace so.
8:35:47
Speaker 15: Your mind feels.
8:35:51
Speaker 1: It feels so nice to just let go, to give
8:35:56
yourself some space to breathe easily, to think calmly, and
8:36:10
just to take a break from all that pointless worry
8:36:17
concerns about things that you don't need to think about
8:36:24
right now, because.
8:36:29
Speaker 4: This is your time to let go.
8:36:33
Speaker 1: This is your space to enjoy feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful
8:36:43
in your mind, relaxed.
8:36:45
Speaker 4: In your body.
8:36:49
Speaker 1: They can feel so good, so nice to just not
8:36:58
have to do anything, to be able to really enjoy
8:37:09
that serenity that comes of letting go completely, that peacefulness
8:37:18
that comes with.
8:37:26
Speaker 8: Being in this.
8:37:29
Speaker 1: Peaceful space. And you can keep this sense of calmness
8:37:40
for as long as you choose. You choose to drift
8:37:52
on into deep, healing natural sleep, and you can do that.
8:38:03
It's completely up to you, And you can keep this
8:38:12
feeling of calmness physically and in your mind as long
8:38:18
as you choose to feel completely relaxed, completely relaxed.
8:38:35
Speaker 21: And I'd like you to make up your mind that
8:38:40
you're going to relax, and want.
8:38:50
Speaker 1: To explore that with you. But it feels like when
8:38:54
you actually decide that you going to relax, not forcing yourself,
8:39:03
but giving yourself that. Yes, it is a command, really,
8:39:10
isn't it. When you're telling yourself relax in a gentle
8:39:17
but firm way, that only you can really.
8:39:23
Speaker 4: Tell yourself in that way. You can't really have someone
8:39:27
else saying to you, now it relax, relax, you know,
8:39:32
and it needs to be.
8:39:34
Speaker 1: Gentle, but you can't someone else can't really have the
8:39:37
same the same kind of influence or power that you
8:39:47
have over your own physicality, over how you feel, because
8:40:00
when you say it to.
8:40:02
Speaker 4: Yourself it means more. It's personal, and.
8:40:09
Speaker 1: Your brain and your unconscious mind and your body listens
8:40:15
to what you say. So, for example, we'll test it out.
8:40:21
We'll do a little test, a few little tests along
8:40:24
the way, and you can get more of.
8:40:27
Speaker 4: An idea of.
8:40:29
Speaker 1: The force, a positive force that you can have in
8:40:36
creating a sense of comfort and relaxation in your body
8:40:42
and your mind quite quickly.
8:40:46
Speaker 4: Just by you telling yourself.
8:40:51
Speaker 1: To relax. So I want to start by it's focused
8:40:59
on your hands, to focus on your hands and just
8:41:05
tell your hands to relax, and just say relax.
8:41:11
Speaker 4: As you focus on your hands, you could say, my
8:41:17
hands are relaxed, or I want my hands to relax.
8:41:23
I think if you actually do.
8:41:24
Speaker 1: It directly by focusing and imagining that your hands can
8:41:32
hear what you're saying.
8:41:34
Speaker 14: You know, they've got little ears, which is a little weird.
8:41:39
Speaker 4: So talking to your hands and just say relax, medicine.
8:41:56
Now your hands start to relax.
8:42:10
Speaker 1: Now focus on your eyes and tell your eyes to relax.
8:42:15
You just say in the same word relax and find
8:42:20
the right tone for you. You know, I might say relax,
8:42:28
but you you might say relax or relax. You know,
8:42:36
you might say it differently to yourself, and that's important
8:42:43
for you to gauge what feels right for you. But
8:42:49
just tell your eyes to relax, whilst focusing on your eyes,
8:42:55
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eyebrows, and
8:43:00
just tell your eyes directly.
8:43:06
Speaker 4: Relax now. Now, I just did that myself, and sometimes
8:43:45
you may feel that you need a bit more time.
8:43:50
Speaker 1: Or the different parts to relax, you know, because I
8:43:53
start talking again and maybe that part hasn't relaxed fully.
8:43:59
But what how opinions that would just continue to relax
8:44:02
even though I'm talking, And that's happening with my eyes.
8:44:09
Something else I noticed is when I started focusing on
8:44:14
my eyes, they actually almost became They.
8:44:17
Speaker 4: Got worse before they got better in a way.
8:44:20
Speaker 1: So I felt a.
8:44:20
Speaker 4: Degree of tension growing in my eyes.
8:44:25
Speaker 1: And then disappearing. So I think what that was really
8:44:29
it was just me becoming more aware of the tension
8:44:35
that was already there that I wasn't. I wasn't focused
8:44:39
on it before, so I wasn't really acknowledging it or
8:44:47
really conscious to those feelings. Yeah, my eyes are still
8:45:02
continuing to relax, as well as my hands. Actually, my
8:45:08
hands have got a certain kind of energy, like not buzzing,
8:45:15
but I can kind of fuel a degree of energy
8:45:20
in my hands. Maybe that's where the tension is being released.
8:45:28
Maybe that's causing that.
8:45:36
Speaker 4: The next part, I think we should focus on.
8:45:39
Speaker 14: The back of the neck.
8:45:40
Speaker 4: That's a part which is quite often well for me,
8:45:44
holds tension.
8:45:45
Speaker 1: I don't know about it for yourself, but I think
8:45:48
it's quite a standard place where tension is sometimes held.
8:45:54
Speaker 4: So and I'm doing.
8:45:58
Speaker 1: Exactly what you're doing as you do it, as well.
8:46:00
So I'm telling my body parts to relax as well.
8:46:05
Speaker 4: So if you tell your neck at the back of your.
8:46:07
Speaker 1: Neck, focus on the back of your neck, and just
8:46:10
say relax in your own words, in your own tone,
8:46:18
in your own voice. You can say out loud, or
8:46:20
you can just say it to yourself internally. But you're
8:46:25
focusing and you're saying it literally to the back.
8:46:29
Speaker 14: Of your neck, as if the back of your neck
8:46:32
can actually hear what you're saying. So do that now,
8:46:39
just say relax to the back of your neck, and
8:46:43
I'll do the same.
8:47:23
Speaker 1: Now, what I noticed and you may have had similar
8:47:27
thing is, even though I was focusing on the back
8:47:31
of the neck, other parts started to I don't know,
8:47:42
showed themselves to me or maybe because they want.
8:47:46
Speaker 4: To be relaxed as well.
8:47:47
Speaker 1: But I started noticing the feelings in my shoulders, at
8:47:51
tension in my shoulders and in my upper back. Whether
8:47:57
that was because my back of my neck was saying, well,
8:48:03
I'm pretty much okay, it's the other parts that need attention,
8:48:14
but my lobe, my back of my neck is still relaxing.
8:48:19
But I just became more aware of other parts that
8:48:22
needed attention. Now, this might happen, and it's not. It
8:48:30
doesn't mean that it's going any wrong. It just means you're.
8:48:34
Speaker 4: Being notified of more places that also want to feel relaxed.
8:48:44
So I'm going to focus on my upper back so
8:48:48
you can do the same, even if you don't.
8:48:52
Speaker 14: Have any.
8:48:54
Speaker 4: Feelings of tension that were obvious in your upper back.
8:49:00
Speaker 1: Focus on your back and the whole area from the
8:49:05
shoulder blades down to the middle of your back and
8:49:10
the spine. And with me, it's more the shoulder blades
8:49:14
are more. Yeah, that's the parts that really.
8:49:23
Speaker 14: Sort of giving me that not.
8:49:29
Speaker 4: That it needs relax in the sounds.
8:49:31
Speaker 14: Going to ask that part to relax, and you can
8:49:34
do the same.
8:49:35
Speaker 4: Now relapse up the back. Something strange happened there, and
8:50:02
this often happens.
8:50:05
Speaker 20: I've been doing this for.
8:50:09
Speaker 1: Sixteen years or something, and often one surprised but amazed
8:50:17
really that there can be a feeling. So when I
8:50:23
was focusing on the back of my neck, my upper
8:50:26
back was starting to feel quite stressed and in need
8:50:31
of attention.
8:50:34
Speaker 4: As soon as I started talking to you.
8:50:37
Speaker 1: About my upper back and talking about, you know, getting
8:50:42
ready to ask the upper back to relax. Why the
8:50:47
back already started to relax. It's almost as if it
8:50:53
doesn't need to hear the words, just needs attention, just
8:51:03
needs to be noticed. And that is something that often
8:51:15
happens in this type of situation is when you start
8:51:23
to relax a couple of.
8:51:26
Speaker 4: Parts of your body, as we've done with our.
8:51:29
Speaker 1: Hands, the eyes and the eyelids, and.
8:51:35
Speaker 14: Now back of the neck, top of the bag, up
8:51:44
the back.
8:51:45
Speaker 1: The rest of the body seems to just take notice
8:51:52
and decide in its own way to start relaxing. Other
8:52:00
parts of your body start to just become looser. I
8:52:10
suppose it's kind of like a bit of an avalanche,
8:52:13
you know, the little ball starts rolling, and before you
8:52:18
know it, the whole of your body.
8:52:20
Speaker 4: Is completely relaxed and can't.
8:52:31
Speaker 1: And if you focus on your face, you focus on
8:52:39
your eyes, the eyelids, your eyebrows, and the muscles around
8:52:47
your eyes, maybe you start to notice that your forehead
8:52:57
is more relaxed than it was. Maybe your face is
8:53:02
more relaxed. I would say, my entire face is a
8:53:09
lot more relaxed than it was. So you're going to
8:53:22
focus now on your shoulders again, just like before. Just
8:53:30
tell your shoulders, I mean you can do them in
8:53:33
the digity.
8:53:34
Speaker 14: You can do the right.
8:53:35
Speaker 4: Shoulder and you shoulder.
8:53:38
Speaker 14: I just can't do both at the same time.
8:53:42
Speaker 1: Just tell your shoulders as you focus on them in
8:53:45
your mind, focus on thew and you feel.
8:53:49
Speaker 4: Maybe you can see them in your mind's eye. Just
8:53:57
tell your shoulders to relax as nice as they relax.
8:54:52
I did you notice the specially my bag.
8:55:00
Speaker 1: Is the connection between the different parts the back, the shoulders.
8:55:06
Speaker 4: The neck.
8:55:13
Speaker 1: Being all connected and being such a large part of
8:55:17
your body, it's almost hard to separate them from each other.
8:55:29
And my lower back has started to relax on the same.
8:55:38
Speaker 14: Maybe I'm going too.
8:55:39
Speaker 1: Slow and that could be an issue because we will
8:55:45
go at different speeds. And the idea of the beginning
8:55:52
of this recording was for you to be able to
8:55:54
just say to yourself, relay without focusing on any particular
8:56:11
part of your body. Because when you know that turning your.
8:56:17
Speaker 4: Hands to relax, your hands relax. You tell your.
8:56:30
Speaker 1: Eyelids and your eyes, the muscles around your eyes and
8:56:37
your eyebrows to relax, that they relax.
8:56:50
Speaker 14: You tell the back of your neck.
8:56:56
Speaker 4: To relax, and it relaxes until you're up back to
8:57:19
relax and do relaxes. He tell your shoulders.
8:57:42
Speaker 1: To relax, and they relax h And you told your
8:58:18
hands to relax. They relaxed and they continued.
8:58:24
Speaker 14: To relax.
8:58:31
Speaker 1: And you told your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes,
8:58:37
your eyebrows, to relax.
8:58:41
Speaker 4: They relaxed.
8:58:46
Speaker 14: And continued.
8:58:48
Speaker 4: To relax.
8:58:55
Speaker 14: And you told the back of your neck.
8:58:59
Speaker 4: Focused on the back of your neck, you told it
8:59:05
to relax. It relaxed and continued to relax. And you
8:59:24
told your aunt the back.
8:59:29
Speaker 1: To relax. It relaxed and continued.
8:59:37
Speaker 4: To relax.
8:59:46
Speaker 1: And that's what your shoulders. You told your shoulders to
8:59:51
relax in your shoulders relaxed and continued.
9:00:03
Speaker 14: To relax. And it's not just that, it's.
9:00:17
Speaker 1: That the rest of your body has also been listening,
9:00:23
and their relaxation has been spreading. So from your eyes,
9:00:30
the relaxation spread to your forehead, around your face.
9:00:37
Speaker 4: Into your skin, into your jaw, into the front and
9:00:51
sides of the neck, all the way down your chest
9:00:55
and stomach, and relaxed hands and shoulders.
9:01:07
Speaker 14: And me up through your arms, relaxing the four arms,
9:01:15
your upper arms, elbows, your wrists, let you go.
9:01:30
Speaker 4: With lower bag.
9:01:35
Speaker 1: Your hips, but exploiting and just start to relax with
9:01:42
the tiny in comfort spreading through your legs.
9:01:54
Speaker 14: All the way down to your ankles.
9:02:02
Speaker 4: The tops of your feet, the side of your feet,
9:02:08
and the bottoms.
9:02:09
Speaker 14: Of your feet, relaxing.
9:02:18
Speaker 4: Into your toes.
9:02:23
Speaker 14: Each tone relaxing.
9:02:29
Speaker 4: Became please, and then your body relaxes one.
9:02:48
Speaker 1: Your mind becomes slow or peaceful.
9:03:11
Speaker 14: To the point where if you choose to for the sake,
9:03:24
he can't easily do that easy drift doing because there's
9:03:41
nothing going on in your mind.
9:03:47
Speaker 1: The phrase peaceful your body your teams with that connection
9:04:30
between your body relaxing.
9:04:33
Speaker 4: The word.
9:04:35
Speaker 1: You say to yourself.
9:04:39
Speaker 4: Relates means that you don't need to focus.
9:04:50
Speaker 14: On just one part.
9:04:53
Speaker 4: You can just focus on your entire body. Saying powerful
9:05:06
word works and there's goes to meliar sensations of comfort.
9:05:33
Speaker 1: Spreading throughout your body, listening and calming.
9:05:47
Speaker 14: And eating every part to your body eating mm hm hm.
9:06:02
Two lights. All you need to do now just.
9:06:23
Speaker 16: Tell your soth.
9:06:28
Speaker 14: Lights beating beating out of door.
9:06:58
Speaker 1: Sorry, Starting now with number twenty nineteen eighteen seventeen sixteen

Speaker 4: Nine, eight, seven, six, five.
9:21:26
Speaker 15: Four three.
9:21:32
Speaker 4: Two one.
9:21:42
Speaker 1: And maybe that was a bit too quick in order
9:21:45
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you
9:21:50
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a
9:22:00
bit of pressure there, Like you're counted down.
9:22:03
Speaker 14: From ten to one.
9:22:04
Speaker 4: What do you expect me to do?
9:22:06
Speaker 1: Man, expect me to just to go with flight just
9:22:10
because you're counting down. If you try it again, but
9:22:20
this time I'll go this slower. It's time that you
9:22:26
focus on behold of your body before we focus on
9:22:31
your legs. Just notice.
9:22:36
Speaker 4: How your body does start to feel more relaxed.
9:22:50
Speaker 1: Every number that I count down.
9:22:57
Speaker 23: Ten nine, eight, seven, six, five.
9:23:43
Speaker 15: Four three.
9:24:05
Speaker 14: Mm hmmm, you won.
9:24:37
Speaker 4: You just notice how how you feel generally, how your
9:24:43
body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting down from
9:24:58
ten to one. It's that space that you have, that
9:25:08
space between being active physically or mentally, just.
9:25:29
Speaker 1: Sitting or lying down, just being there, not doing anything,
9:25:34
not saying anything, not needing to think about anything.
9:25:41
Speaker 4: So it opens up a space, you know, a bit
9:25:44
of a space, the gap.
9:25:53
Speaker 21: And the more I came.
9:25:55
Speaker 4: Down intend to work, the bigger that gap big comes.
9:26:03
So there's that gap of calmness, of comfort and relaxation.
9:26:15
It's a nice feeling, and it moves.
9:26:24
Speaker 1: Those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them away,
9:26:41
allows you.
9:26:45
Speaker 20: To just.
9:26:48

9:26:53
Speaker 1: So I'm going to count again from ten down to one,
9:26:55
and notice that gap widening, the gap, and this it widens.
9:27:06
Speaker 4: It's almost like that the stress and attention falls.
9:27:11
Speaker 14: Into the gap.
9:27:26
Speaker 4: It gives you that distance, that space.
9:27:32

9:30:10
feeling more relaxed.

9:30:57
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna start with focusing one of thighs.
9:31:16
Speaker 14: Of course, it's not the most exciting thing to be
9:31:20
getting because I'm sure like most of your body is
9:31:28
not not caring on the way now.
9:31:38
Speaker 1: Just focusing on the hole of your thighs, the tops
9:31:45
of your thighs, the side of a fies, the bottoms.
9:31:51

he goes down to your.
9:32:10
Speaker 16: We need joint.
9:32:16
