Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, it's me again. It's me again. Hello. Hello. Yes,
0:08
ities that was the worst jingle. Yeah, it didn't rhyme.
0:13
It sounded awful. Well. Actually, personally I thought this sounded
0:17
quite nice, melodic but not harmonic. I don't know what
0:26
that means. So hello, hello, hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland
0:34
dot com. My name is Jason A new Land. Please
0:44
only listen, do mirice, it's my cardigan. Only listen when
0:52
you can safely close your eyes. A couple of quick
0:58
shout outs, one to kill Cleo. You sent me a
1:04
message via my website, I think, and somehow the message
1:12
has gone missing, and it was to do with I
1:18
think you're from China and you're telling me that it's
1:23
something that I read it, and I was half asleep
1:29
when I read it. I think I was in bed
1:32
and I read it, and I thought i'll read that
1:33
properly later, because sometimes I've read a message and I
1:38
don't get huge amounts of messages. Although you can send
1:42
me a personal message via my website if you want,
1:45
or on Facebook or whatever, mind it's not a good
1:50
advert because I might lose the message. But on this
1:53
occasion I lost a message, so I didn't get a
1:58
chance to reply, So I apologize to that apologize. I'm
2:02
apologizing to you. I apologize, and who I don't know
2:12
what else I was going to say. Well, I'll start off,
2:18
I went to an uncle auntie uncle sausages, fair well
2:25
ceremony today. And don't worry, I'm not going to be
2:29
morbid or anything like that. I'm not going to go
2:31
through that stuff. But it was kind of weird, you know,
2:35
had to be done. It's a standard procedure in our
2:40
society here. And then I did do a little video
2:48
in a cemetery outside because I got there quite earlier.
2:51
I got there. I ordered a taxi yesterday for eight
2:58
point thirty this morning, because whether I was going to say,
3:07
this show started at nine point thirty, not the show,
3:09
but the ceremony started at nine point thirty. It's only
3:14
for fifteen minutes, if that ten minutes, fifteen minutes. I
3:19
think he's eating one of his treats. He's right off
3:25
his food at the moment. But I think that's because
3:28
I keep giving him treats. So it's kind of my
3:33
own fault. But hey, I just sometimes think that he
3:40
deserves treats, you know, I want him to be happy,
3:46
and I want him to, you know, do things he
3:51
enjoys doing, and he enjoys chomping on his treats to
4:00
get a lot of pleasure from that. Now, I'm not
4:02
giving him just treats and no food. You know, if
4:05
he doesn't eat his food, then I won't give him
4:07
any treats until he starts eating his food again. But
4:09
he's been off his food for a day or so.
4:15
But I have been given some of my food, which
4:18
is just as good as the food he eats. So
4:22
technically he's not really not been eating. And he's only
4:25
a tiny little thing. He's the size of a parrot.
4:31
He's not the size of a parrot. In fact, parrot's
4:34
probably bigger than him. Parrots are big and the big
4:37
old things, right right, that's my impression of a parrot.
4:45
I didn't put a lot of effort into that. I'll
4:48
admit what it would sound like if I actually did
4:51
put some effort in right, Okay, right, right, No, that
5:01
wasn't any better. So, yeah, So I ordered a taxi.
5:06
This is a secret, a secret. This is it's kind
5:13
of something I discovered about myself more recently. If I
5:19
order a taxi, the day before. It gets me out
5:27
of bed kind of forces me to get out of
5:31
bed because if a taxi turns up, I'm going to
5:34
have to pay with it. Then they take me where
5:36
I'm going or not. So it's just if I'm lying
5:44
in bed, which I do sometimes, that's probably the best
5:47
place to lie, isn't it. Or lay? What's the difference
5:51
between lying and laying because lying can also be telling
5:56
fips on it. Laying so getting getting lied to? So
6:06
getting lied that's being yeah, someone lying to you. But
6:12
there's no you don't get laid A wait a minute,
6:15
get okay. But anyway, I was once something in the morning.
6:21
If I not have to be somewhere, it doesn't matter
6:24
what it is, where it is, what it's for. For
6:29
some reason, I I struggle a little bit getting out
6:33
of bed, which is part of the reason why I
6:38
really really try not to make appointments, including just meeting
6:44
up with people, because once I make an appointment, I start,
6:49
for some reason, to be a bit fretty about it,
6:51
be to just start thinking about it, and I don't
6:57
want to that's my own issue. And of course you
7:06
know that I was that I didn't want to go
7:08
to this thing. I don't like them or know what
7:11
it likes them. Today, No one like wakes up or
7:15
a looked at the weekend of their diary and thinks, oh,
7:19
what have I got any of them things this month?
7:21
Oh yeah, I've got one, got one in two weeks.
7:24
Speaker 2: Yeah.
7:25
Speaker 1: No, you know, the goodbye ceremonies are not something that
7:31
anyone wants to really go to, but it's it's important.
7:35
I guess I think it's fairly important. So anyway, I
7:41
got up, got up this morning. I set my alarm
7:48
for six o'clock. I went to bed about nine o'clock.
7:57
So I wanted to make sure that I was. You know,
8:02
normally I don't sleep for like twelve thirteen hours, but
8:05
this would have been one of the nights where I
8:07
probably would, you know, I'd wake up at half ten
8:11
in the morning and feel so refreshed, but then also think, oh, no,
8:17
I've missed. I've missed this event, which is important. So
8:25
I wasn't going to allow that to happen. So I
8:28
set my alarm on my phone. I don't have a clock.
8:33
I don't have one clock. I don't have a watch
8:35
that I wear. I do have two watches that I
8:38
don't wear, but there were gifts, so I've kept them.
8:44
I don't ever, I don't have. I don't have a
8:47
clock on the wall. I don't have. I think he
8:54
made a bit more noise. Please thanks. I don't have
9:00
a digital clock, you know, like in the old days.
9:04
I don't know if they still make them. I sid
9:06
one of them. I tell you how. This is how
9:10
old I am, all right. I had a digital clock
9:14
that had pieces of card that used to flip over.
9:18
No lights or maybe a background light, but a little
9:21
piece of card that flipped over to change the time
9:25
from like two fifty nine till three. It's weird, I'm
9:32
explaining it, but just like on a spiral, I guess.
9:36
And yeah, that's going back a few years. I can't
9:47
I'm trying to think when was the last time I
9:50
had an alarm like a digital clock. So I quite
9:56
liked the radio ones, so the ones that had a
9:58
radio one, and I definitely had one when I was
10:02
a kid, when I was fourteen fifteen, that's for definite.
10:13
I probably had one earlier than that as well, but
10:16
I definitely had one then because I used to have
10:20
paper rounds and I also worked in a bakery sort.
10:25
I've had early starts. There's no way to got up
10:29
without that, without the alarm. And I remember, actually this
10:34
was or even going to school, to be fair, even
10:37
without the alarm, without even if I didn't have to
10:40
get up early and just gap at normal time, let's
10:45
say seven or seven thirty or whatever, to get to
10:49
be at school for court to nine, I would still
10:55
need my alarm. You know. When I when I was
10:58
very little, i'd just get woken up. But this was
11:01
the point where I just kind of got up on
11:04
my own. There comes a time in every teenager's life
11:08
when they don't want anyone walking in the first thing
11:10
in the morning. It's yeah, no one likes being called
11:21
tent boy, do they, especially by the parents. So anyway,
11:26
I went to went to and oh, I remember once right,
11:36
I woke up to this song. This was when I
11:38
was at school, probably about eighty three, nineteen eighty three
11:43
or nineteen eighty four, one of them, but I'd say
11:46
probably about nineteen eighty four, maybe eighty five, but I'm
11:51
going to say eighty four as a guess. Everything's a guess, really,
11:55
especially when it comes to memory. Men. And I woke
12:06
up to this song that blew me away, like because
12:11
it would be a radio station on. I don't know
12:14
what it was. It was Radio one or who knows,
12:18
so I can't remember, maybe just the local radio station.
12:21
But I woke up to this song, and for some reason,
12:27
for about a week, the same song was being played
12:30
every time I woke up, a bit like Groundhog Day,
12:34
which in some ways my whole was you could say
12:41
my whole life is in it in some ways. But
12:44
at school it did seem a little bit like that.
12:46
Every day was like the same getting up the blahber,
12:50
doing this, doing that, same kind of routine. But it
12:54
was the same song. I didn't think that it was
12:58
the same day, you know. I didn't like, oh no,
13:03
I'm stuck in a time loop or I didn't have
13:07
that issue. I wasn't worried about that. But I fell
13:15
in love with this song and the song was dead
13:22
ringer for love, meet Loaf and share since I worry
13:30
about my joy?
13:33
Speaker 3: Do do do do Do Do Do Do Do Do
13:38
Do Do do do baby baby er do do do
13:47
you know what?
13:48
Speaker 1: I never ever, I've never got done for copywriting, like
13:55
for having a copyright music in any of these recordings,
13:59
like when it's on YouTube, which means that none of
14:03
my songs that I do ever sound anything even similar
14:09
to the original song. I could look, I could sing
14:13
you the whole a whole song, Buddy Holly song that
14:17
I'm memorized. I don't know why I just did. It's
14:20
a new thing I've been doing, and no one didn't
14:25
know what I was like, Ah, it's nice. What was it? Well,
14:29
they might not say that was nice, but I imagine
14:31
people are saying nice things. If you've got to imagine
14:35
people are saying things, you might as well why not
14:37
imagine them saying nice things. You know, it's the same things.
14:42
Like if I'm going to imagine people talking about me,
14:45
then let them say nice things about me. It's a
14:51
different way to look at things. People are planning. Maybe
14:58
they're planning to give me a surprise birthday party. Yeah, anyway,
15:07
dead Ring for Love. I just couldn't get enough of it.
15:13
I had not seen the video at this point, so
15:17
this was like, Okay, I say all week, this was
15:19
the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday morning. I'm partially making this
15:23
up as I always do, but you know, it was
15:26
like the first four days of the week at school,
15:31
Thursday evening we had Top of the Pops, which was
15:35
on I do believe seven thirty seven or seven thirty
15:40
and that was the one time of the week. It
15:43
was one of the most important programs for you know,
15:50
young people or anyone that liked music. Really, I mean
15:54
I watched Top of the Pops from being a little
15:57
kid all the way till when they stopped showing it.
16:02
You know, I was because it was a good opportunity
16:06
to see who was in the charts, what was relevant,
16:10
what people were listening to, up to date music, which
16:15
is a phrase I don't before I'd say out loud,
16:20
I'm way out of I'm out of it completely now
16:24
when it comes to music. The thing is, I liked
16:29
music in the two thousand's twenty tens, just you know,
16:34
I liked a lot of new music that was out
16:39
sort of ten years before I moved here. I was
16:44
watching video channels of music, and I was up to
16:47
date with all of the latest music. It didn't stop
16:52
me still loving the music that I loved before. It didn't.
16:56
You know, I didn't like one new song I loved,
17:00
didn't knock out another song from the past. It didn't
17:03
erase that song you know. But more recent years, i've
17:15
kind of, yeah, I have tried. I'm going to try again.
17:19
I think it's easier with the videos than it is
17:21
listening by hearing a song for the first time. I
17:30
think it's more interesting to see the video because there's
17:35
more going on. I think I know what I'm talking about.
17:43
I think, yeah, I think it is. It just makes
17:45
a bit more. But then there's that repetition, the repetition
17:49
of hearing the same song over and over again, like
17:53
on a radio. I remember, I don't know if I
17:59
was listen did I hear this on the radio or
18:02
I don't know, but it was I didn't like it,
18:06
and it was Beyonce Drunken Love and I heard that,
18:16
and I'm thinking, if I heard that on the radio,
18:21
how did I hear it on the radio? Because I
18:23
don't even listen to the radio, so I can't remember,
18:27
you know, because a few years ago, unless it was
18:30
just a music video thing that I was watching a
18:35
music video channel and I genuinely thought it was the
18:43
biggest pile. I just didn't The video is good, but
18:51
I did not like the song. I thought, this is
18:54
not even cohesive, it's all off killer it's this, it's
19:01
not it's not a song, it's not melodic. It's really
19:08
just like what was going on here? And then after
19:15
hearing it a few times, I really liked it.
19:19
Speaker 3: Urban missings and and then missing.
19:27
Speaker 1: I mean, I do I've mentioned this before, but Beyonce,
19:35
I mean, she is what a phenomenal voice. I think
19:45
the thing is with her is she could have just
19:49
as easily gone on and done kind of the same
19:57
type of music or the same kind of I don't
20:03
know what the correct term is, but it's like Mariah
20:05
Carey or Whitney Houston or Celine Dion or that kind
20:13
of like Balladish because of her voice, how good her
20:20
voice is, And she would have been successful whatever she did.
20:26
I think she'd have been successful because she's got such
20:28
a great voice. But she chose to go in a
20:33
completely different way. And I mean, as far as I
20:41
don't know, she writes all the songs or she co
20:43
writes her songs, but yeah, she's so many This wasn't
20:51
supposed to be about Beyonce, But.
20:54
Speaker 2: What's that God I do with her?
20:55
Speaker 1: Uncle Banana's not uncle bananas, uncle sausages. Sorry, that's what
21:00
one of the neighbors called him uncle Bananas banana man,
21:05
which one of the neighbors kids saw him on that
21:12
day before he went into hospital, and she started calling
21:15
a banana man from then on. But you know, she's
21:18
like nine years old, so I can't. It's this. Kids
21:26
are innocent and they kind of, you know, in that way.
21:29
She didn't. She just found it funny that he was.
21:34
Not funny that he was because no one knew he
21:35
was little bit because he was a different color. He
21:37
was yellow, and she thought it was like he'd been
21:41
eating too many bananas or something like that. Anyway, it
21:56
was a lovely picture of him, uh in thing today
22:01
and he had this is holding umbrella. And it's really
22:05
weird because you know, when you meet someone when they're
22:09
is it okay to say elderly someone when they're seventy eight,
22:12
Sebastian calls me elderly. Ten years ago he was calleding
22:16
me elderly. But if you don't know Sebastian is he's
22:20
my arch enemy. He's listening to this right now that
22:25
this will make him smile. Blimey, finny. That was really loud.
22:31
Even I heard it. Even Uncle Sausages heard it. Let's
22:36
stop it. And so yeah, I was, you know, it's loud.
22:44
Speaker 4: Wow, that that is really really noisy, was I saying, Beyonce.
23:06
Speaker 1: It was weird because she's so glamorous. She did an
23:12
award show and I think she was singing on an
23:15
award show, a big spectacular maybe it was the Oscars
23:20
or one of those kind of places, and she's stared
23:25
with this stunning dress. Not that I really appreciate stunning dresses,
23:31
but it was even I could see it was. It
23:35
was clearly a lot of work put into getting dressed up,
23:42
playing dress up. So she looked probably like a billion
23:48
dollars because she is a billion dollar are and she
23:51
but she yeah, she looked. Imagine she took hours and
23:55
hours and hours and hours and hours getting ready for thatformance.
24:00
Just with the clothes. He probably took a whole team
24:05
of people to put that together, because it was just
24:09
it's quite outrageously fab Anyway, she's singing. She comes out singing,
24:20
and all the audience are loving it, and the you know,
24:23
being watched by millions, maybe billions of people around the world,
24:28
this live event, and she's singing a song. Then it's
24:33
time for her husband to come on and accompany her.
24:37
With one of her songs, jay Z and he pops
24:43
on and he eats ort of walks on in these
24:50
I don't know what he was wearing. There were kind
24:52
of like tracksuit bottoms that were half hanging down his bum,
24:57
and I don't know, he kind of she looked like
25:05
she was there. She looked like she was there to
25:13
basically be crowned a princess, like it was a royal wedding.
25:20
He looked like he'd lost his mop. He's like where
25:25
I left it somewhere, you know. It's it's just the
25:28
way he was dressed on me. Not I dress bad,
25:34
but he probably everything he was wearing was probably one
25:41
of his socks, probably costs more than my entire life's earnings.
25:44
But I just did the biggest knees in the world
25:52
just then. Even then, he stopped and looked at me
25:55
like normally he'll have a look and he'll carry on,
26:00
but this time he actually said, are you okay? You're right?
26:03
Do you need help? And I don't know why, but
26:12
it made me laugh. When I saw him come on stage,
26:16
he hopped on stage and it was like grabbing his crotch,
26:20
and I was ah, boat the Buddha Bet and I
26:27
beat the Buddha Birth and I'm thinking, oh, I know,
26:34
because he's about seventy now, and I don't know. See
26:42
I'm I used to love Eminem and Minimi and Minimum
26:48
back in the late nineties. You know, when he was
26:52
I would argue, Sayso's peak was stand and you know
26:56
that album. Really liked that album a lot. I'm listening
27:03
to one hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times. But
27:11
he was in his twenties and he was dressing like that.
27:18
It's now in his fifties and he's still dressing like that,
27:23
and I don't know's it. He had a song recently
27:28
and it was about basically getting slim Shady back or
27:34
something like in this light video where he's got him
27:36
and him when he was back in his twenties competing
27:42
against each other or something, and it's I mean, there's
27:47
no rule. It was like, okay, with someone in their
27:49
fifties can't good. Clearly, I'm an example of someone in
27:52
their fifties that are pretty amazing, but dumb, dumb, dumb,
28:00
you can't see me if it's kind of like if
28:04
I was, yeah, I think this is the thing I've got.
28:11
There's an old saying, isn't it. You know someone say, oh,
28:16
you've got a voice for radio. Well, I've got a
28:18
face for radio. It's you know, it's the best place.
28:24
Although this isn't radio, but this is the modern day
28:27
version of radio in a way, isn't it. It's just
28:30
you choose your own show. So instead of listening to
28:33
me at nine o'clock in the evening on a Friday
28:39
night or whatever, you can listen to me whenever you want. Yeah,
28:47
and there's no news bulletins, there's no music there. You know,
28:54
it's better in some ways, but also a lot worse
29:00
in other ways. Maybe maybe anyway, I think jay Z
29:07
was all right. I like some of his stuff. The
29:09
stuff he did with Eminem was good, but.
29:15
Speaker 2: It just.
29:18
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's something about it would
29:24
be because I think when Eminem is like in his seventies,
29:33
is he still going to be is he still going
29:38
to be doing this? He's still going to be dyeing
29:39
his hair black, which he does now? And is he
29:44
and you can see as black and his beards black
29:47
dyed because you know he ain't. You just can tell.
29:54
It's weird the amount of people I see who have
29:57
got clearly jet black dyed beards. And you know how
30:07
you can tell because the beards are jet black. That's
30:15
how you can tell. Because generally anyone over the age
30:20
of thirty is going to have the odd gray I
30:25
know some people do like, you know, tweeze them out.
30:30
I used to do that. I did. It's amazing. I
30:34
used to do that at the front of my hair.
30:36
And someone said to me, you shouldn't do that. You've
30:39
only got a few gray hairs. Don't tweeze them out
30:42
at the front of your hair or the back of
30:45
your head because that part start to receive or go bald.
30:50
And I laughed at them. Who's laughing now?
30:56
Speaker 2: Not me?
30:58
Speaker 1: No, I didn't, would you? Why would I? Why would
31:02
I tweeze the hairs in the back of my head?
31:04
I can't see them. It's really weird. Why would that part?
31:13
Because that's a part on the baby's head, isn't it.
31:15
That's the fragile part for the first few weeks or whatever.
31:21
So why why why would that part go bored anyone?
31:32
I reckon, I reckon. I'll probably I've still had hair
31:40
in ten years, I do believe, And I don't mean just
31:44
at the sights because I don't. I kin'd of. I
31:50
don't see the point in doing that myself personally, just
31:53
for me. If I'm going to be bored up as well,
31:57
just be bored if I'm going to shave my head head.
32:01
But then I'm starting to feel more attached to my
32:07
hair now that it's going. Now it's leaving me. It's
32:11
like at the end of a bad relationship. And I'm
32:15
not begging, Oh please, I can change, don't leave me.
32:18
I can change. I can start changing my underpants more
32:23
than once a month. I can change. You know. It's like,
32:28
but the hairs having none of it. No, we're leaving,
32:32
but they don't. But it's not a quick like a
32:36
quick leave, a quick gone. It's like we're going to
32:39
leave you, but we're going to spend years doing it.
32:42
Oh thanks. I've never really had any of those moments
32:49
where I've been washing my hair and like a big
32:52
amount comes out, thankfully. It's just it's like gradual, very gradual.
33:01
I mean, I know I've had friends that had our
33:03
alopecia where just like clumps of coming out. It's like
33:09
they didn't know what the heck was going on. And yeah,
33:14
I had a friend a year long time ago he
33:19
had alopecia, and back then they didn't know what was
33:28
causing it. I mean, I'm sure there's there's not like
33:31
a specific only one thing that can cause it. But
33:33
I know stress, and I know someone who's when he
33:40
changes his lifestyle, the alopecia stops. Right, That's all I'm
33:48
going to go into that. But he has a certain lifestyle.
33:50
When he changes that lifestyle, when he stops doing what
33:53
he's doing, is alopecia clears up. And some people, if
34:01
they get out of the stressful situation, that can also help.
34:05
But then there's other people that I think perhaps there's
34:10
no reason for it, there's no logical explanation. I wonder,
34:19
if I've got alopecia in the top of my head,
34:22
maybe that's just a temporary board spot and it's going
34:25
to grow back. Ah, I'm clutching it something. Oh guess
34:37
what in my local fields. Then he got me walking.
34:44
He basically went to the end of the road because
34:47
I took him out. I took him out this morning
34:49
before going to Uncle's Sausages Farewell, and so that was
34:58
about six o'clock morning, and then I had to really
35:06
I didn't want to get ready, he didn't want to
35:07
go out, but I knew I had to have this
35:10
is afterwards. So I'm out in the park at six,
35:14
come back. It's light lights still at six in the morning,
35:17
which is good. And then about half past seven, I
35:26
go and have a shower. And as soon as I
35:29
get up and go in the bathroom and start having
35:32
a shower, Vinnie is very attentive to what I'm doing.
35:41
He's watching me. I can't see him watching me because
35:43
I'm in the shower and there's two doors closed, but
35:46
I know he's listening. I mean, technically I can't know
35:51
that he's listening, but just because I know him so well,
35:55
he is. He seems to know when I'm going out,
36:00
when I'm getting ned to leave him. And no, it's
36:05
not the only time. It's not the only time I
36:07
have a shower is when I leave him. Is that
36:11
literally would be five four four, three times a year,
36:17
So I'm not not quite that bad, but it's been
36:21
more recently, more often recently because of Uncle Sausages. Last week,
36:27
I had to go to to leave him Monday because
36:33
I had a doctor's appointment. I still not received the
36:37
results of the blood test and then on previous to that.
36:47
The last time I went out was beginning of August.
36:56
So yes, it's been a while. But he started to
36:59
get used to me going out every day or every
37:01
every other day, and he didn't, you know, he kind
37:06
of got got used to it to the point where
37:08
he didn't like it. Still caused a bit of a fuss,
37:13
but he seemed to be accepted it. But now he's
37:17
gone back to his old ways where he will not
37:21
he would not put up with it, not even for
37:23
me just to go and put a rubbish bag into
37:26
the rubbish bin downstairs. I'm literally coming straight back. Then. Nope,
37:34
you know you're not. You're never coming back. I am.
37:38
So what I do is I leave the door open.
37:41
I don't. I'm not. I don't leave the front door open,
37:43
but I leave it so it doesn't close. You know,
37:47
Well that's open then, isn't it. You know what I mean?
37:49
It's not wide open, it's not pushed open, it's not
37:52
kept open by a door opening device. It's but it's
37:59
kind of of there's a gap, a little gap so
38:02
you can hear me, so I can talk to him,
38:05
so if he barks, I can talk to him as
38:07
I go down the stairs, right, Vinnie, I'm just taking
38:12
the first step now, I'm not leaving. I'm coming back.
38:16
I'm halfway down the stairs now, Vinnie. I'm coming back.
38:20
I promise. I'm near the bottom of the stairs now, Vinnie, Okay,
38:27
just calm down. And then I shouted to him, I'm
38:32
going out, ha, see you later, and I run off
38:37
and he doesn't like that. But he's quite cool if
38:43
he can hear me. He's usually okay, usually, but today,
38:52
what was I talking about, Vinnie?
38:53
Speaker 5: For?
38:54
Speaker 2: Oh?
38:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, this morning, I just couldn't but I was getting
38:59
ready and he he caused a fuss, such a fuss.
39:09
I just feel a little bit guilty leaving him because
39:13
I know how much he doesn't want me to. Well,
39:18
I know, yeah, he doesn't want me to, there's no question.
39:22
I mean, yeah, I don't know what's going on in
39:23
his mind, and I'm not. I can't. I've got no
39:29
thermostat to check his emotional levels. But I've spent what
39:40
nearly three years with him, twenty four hours a day
39:43
pretty much, so I've kind of got to know him
39:47
pretty well. I would say he don't like me leaving him, Yeah,
39:55
I think that's pretty certain to say that doesn't like
39:58
me leaving him. So I contended with that by I
40:04
ordered the taxi and I was getting ready. A taxi
40:08
got it early, so it was here about twenty past eight,
40:14
or maybe twenty three minutes past eight, but it was early,
40:17
but I thought, well, I'm ready. But I was still
40:25
doing the last few little bits, putting stuff into a
40:27
carrier bag and you know, things like that. Made sure
40:33
I had a couple of bottles of water and had
40:37
my phone or else on my wallet. I always had
40:46
my keys because I have to. I always lock the
40:48
door if I leave, so I can't leave without my keys, unless,
40:52
of course, I mean if I lost my keys, and
40:55
I'll be in trouble. But it's not something generally that happens.
40:59
Or I did lose my wallet. I thought I lost
41:02
what Technically, I thought i'd lost my wallet because I
41:06
couldn't find it. But that is losing your wallet, isn't it.
41:10
Isn't that literally the literal meaning of losing something not
41:15
being able to find it. So I had indeed lost
41:20
my wallet, but I also hadn't lost it because it
41:28
was in here somewhere, and I did find it. But
41:33
it took quite a bit of searching, and it was
41:36
underneath a bunch of paperwork. I think it was either
41:40
on that table over there or the other table, which
41:43
is meaningless because you can't see where I'm pointing, can you. Oh? Well,
41:50
but temporarily i'd lost it, and I didn't really think
41:55
that I was going to have to phone the bank
41:57
cancel the card. That's it, really, There's nothing really much
42:02
else in there. My bus pass, I think that's it.
42:08
There's nothing else in there. There might have been ten
42:16
or twenty pounds in cash. I think it's always handed
42:21
to at a little bit of cash for emergencies, just
42:27
because I had a problem before this is during my
42:32
traveling to the hospital every day where the credit card
42:38
machine didn't work, or in the taxi and I tried
42:42
it twice and it still didn't work. Luckily I had
42:46
I think I had about one hundred pounds in cash
42:49
in my wallet that I drawn out the day before
42:52
from the cash machine because I knew it was going
42:56
to be expensive. I was going to have to buy
42:58
stuff in the hospital, drinks and food and stuff for
43:03
me and Uncle, sausages. So I had this cash, but
43:09
I wasn't going to use it in the taxi. I
43:14
was just going to use the card in a taxi,
43:19
so I paid the card. I say, I tried it twice,
43:21
didn't work. It turns out it was the machine that
43:24
was fault. You're not me. And I said, look, I
43:27
literally just got paid yesterday and there's enough money in there.
43:32
And I showed him, I like, look on my phone
43:34
and I said, oh, is that all you got? I said,
43:37
come on, that's rude. He said, you're rude. And he said,
43:42
are you going to keep saying that when anyone says
43:44
you're rude and then you say you're rude? Is that
43:47
You've been doing that for seven years? Can't you try
43:50
something different? I said, I'm always trying different things always.
43:58
I mean, I'm going to talk about scraws again. Minute.
44:01
Do you mean a game? Okay, not a game, but
44:04
I haven't talked about squirrels for a while, and I
44:06
was going to talk about squirrels and that was perhaps
44:08
going to be my my new thing. What a new
44:13
thing about squirrels? What is it? Then? I said, well,
44:18
I can't tell you now. That's going to ruin it
44:20
for everyone. I wanted to be a surprise. Okay, or
44:28
is it a story? Is it a pun? Is it
44:30
a joke? What's the story? It's just a little story,
44:34
but it's something that will delight your world once you
44:39
hear it. He said, really, well, told me now, and
44:42
then I said no, no, So I paid him the cash,
44:46
got out, and I ran home because I just thought
44:52
he was going to chase me until I told him
44:54
what the story was. And the next day, right, I
45:06
get into a taxi, I try and use the the
45:12
card debit card. I don't have any credit cards but
45:15
a debit card, and it declined it again. I'm thinking
45:19
what so I paid cash. I go into on the way. Yeah.
45:28
I go into the petrol station. It declines. It declines
45:34
my card and I put it in the code, still
45:43
declines it. I go to the machine outside declines. Luckily
45:55
I got my card back. It didn't steal my card.
45:58
Start paid by cash in in the petro station because
46:01
only to get a couple of drinks or something. It
46:03
wasn't anything big, and I'm thinking, wow, this is not good.
46:10
I get to the hospital. I go into Costas to
46:14
buy some coffee, one for I think I might got
46:17
one myself. The thing is, I don't drink coffee very much.
46:24
And I realized now why I can't drink coffee. It
46:27
makes me feel unwell. But I used to drink coffee.
46:32
I used to have well, there was a time when
46:33
I used to drink coffee, like really regularly, multiple times
46:40
a day. And even going back many years, I've been
46:49
on and off the coffee. I've gone years about drinking
46:52
coffee and then I go period when I'm just drinking
46:54
it a lot. I can't drink it really anymore and
47:01
makes me feel ill, give him palpitations and stuff. It's
47:05
just a bit too much. So anyway, I got this coffee.
47:18
I think I got two cups of coffee because I
47:20
thought I'll treat myself. I'm getting him a coffee. I
47:27
think it was a bit of a cloudy day that
47:29
day because this was during when Uncle Sausages first went
47:33
to hospital. It was probably the hottest week on record
47:39
in this country. Ever, it was not really really hot,
47:47
you know, just really hot on those days. We didn't
47:54
have coffee, or he didn't have coffee, but he did
47:59
have air conditioning in his.
48:03
Speaker 5: Ward.
48:04
Speaker 1: It wasn't like a proper air conditioning. It's one of
48:07
those things where they stick a big tube out of
48:09
the window, one of those things. That's what I mean.
48:12
It wasn't in built to the structure of the building,
48:15
That's what I mean. It did the job, definitely, and
48:21
if anything, they're probably better because they're dealing with direct air,
48:26
so you're not just spreading all around the entire building,
48:29
which I think is probably a good idea for a
48:31
hospital not to have air conditioning. Spreading the air from
48:36
one ward to another doesn't seem like a very good
48:39
idea generally, if I think about it. Not that I'm
48:43
an expert on ward air. So I've got small bottles
48:53
of water delivered today, So I've now got one two
48:58
through four. I found seven packs of twelve is it
49:05
twelve or six? Possibly seven packs of six, I don't know,
49:11
So I'm really and I've got some more face wipes,
49:17
some more what else should I get, because I've been
49:24
stocking up for the rest of the year, and I'm
49:30
quite pleased with how it's gone, because okay, it's not food,
49:36
and the closest thing to anything I've got there that's food. Well,
49:40
water is the most important thing in the world, isn't
49:44
it to have? But apart from okay, most of it's
49:49
not going to be going into my mouth other than
49:52
the water and the tea bags. I don't mean I
49:56
eat the tea bacs. I mean, you know, for tea.
49:59
And I've got enough to to last me for the
50:01
rest of the year as well, so that's good. But
50:05
everything else is just like mouth washed, toothpaste, deodorant, and
50:11
toilet paper, washing up liquid. I'm just trying to think.
50:23
I've also got quite a few Yeah, I got quite
50:29
a few boxes of cereal now, so I've got like
50:37
five or six boxes of ready bread, about six boxes
50:42
of Mooseley, So you know, it's just getting stocked up
50:50
ready so I can It wasn't really about getting stocked
50:55
up on food, but that is. That's food, isn't it.
51:00
But it's definitely going to be handy because if I
51:03
suddenly didn't have a penny, I can still eat. I've
51:08
got my breakfast cereal I can have that. I've got water,
51:11
I've got you know, so I've got the bear of sentrals.
51:15
I'm not going to run out of toilet paper anytime soon.
51:20
The only thing that I need more of is shampoo.
51:24
Don't laugh. When I get in a shower, I still
51:32
shampooed my hair twice. I do. Do you know people
51:38
always you know, people always looking those kind of people
51:41
are always looking for a blame, always looking for a
51:46
reason to blame. You know. It's because of that. It's
51:49
because you do this, because you do that. They are
51:51
the ones I be thinking. It's because you're back your
51:53
shampoo your hair twice a day, that's why. That's why
51:57
it's falling out. It's not why. Trust me, I've gone periods, well,
52:02
I've not washed my hair for periods of time and
52:06
it's still falling out. It's not because of that. Besides,
52:10
I've had a shaven head most of my life. Really,
52:17
I don't shampoo my hair. When I've got a shaven head.
52:20
I might give it little a little bit of shampoo
52:23
just but that's it, just for the scalp. But I
52:27
I don't have to do much when it's shaven. And
52:33
my hair has been really really short or shaven most
52:38
of the time since two thousand and two. And there's
52:45
been periods when it's been really long and bushy, but
52:49
generally that's when I look baldest. It's when it's long,
52:55
that's when you can see the big gaps between follicles.
53:00
It really stands out tht. Wow, it's almost like Ian.
53:09
It was so it was so frizzy and long. I
53:12
remember my friend Luke. He said, hold on a second.
53:18
I said, Well, he just walked over to me and
53:21
he parted because I used to have my hair kind
53:25
of back but sort of standing up. He didn't like it.
53:29
He said, just shave it off. I said no. I said,
53:32
you're just jealous because I've got hair. I didn't like
53:37
that because he was border than me. That's why I
53:39
said it. Anyway, he came and I said, wait a second.
53:43
The thing is he suited being bored. That's the problem.
53:49
He looked good, he would it didn't matter if he
53:51
had hair or not hair. He looked good. It was
53:54
a good looking bloke. And he had the right face
53:56
structure for being bald. I don't have. Yeah, I don't
54:05
have the right face for balderedness. It's not fair. Anyway,
54:12
he came up to me and he said, I stay still.
54:15
I thought there was a spider in my hair. That's
54:19
what I thought, like a little money spider. Because he
54:23
was very superstitious and he's you know, apparently if you
54:28
get a money spider, you was it you don't you
54:34
like put it? You did? You swing it around your
54:37
head twice or something, and then money will come into
54:40
your life. Yeah, he's one of these people that used
54:47
to salute magpies. Seriously. He once said to me, right, okay,
55:02
oh don't because I think my hair was. I grew
55:06
my hair really it was. It was really out of control.
55:09
And he said, I don't want it that. We've got
55:13
to go out. I said, because you want to go
55:15
to the petro station. He said, kind of do some
55:18
with your hair? Said what he said? I don't want
55:21
to be seeing in public with you like that? All right,
55:25
So he was embarrassed by me. So on the main road,
55:32
all these cars going fast, he's worried about me. I
55:35
think I'm wearing a hat just to cover my hair up.
55:38
What does he do? He stops and start He salutes
55:46
a bird. What did I call him? Not pigeons? The
55:49
ones that steal stuff. He actually salutes one of them.
55:57
And he's worried about embarrassing me. And I said, you're embarrassing.
56:05
I said, that was embarrassing my hair. You're you're you're
56:10
saluting magpies while there's traffic. It's people on the bus
56:15
going past looking at us, We're looking at you. And
56:20
he said, well, what's weird about saluting about a magpie? Well,
56:27
there's two things. First of all, you're saluting a magpie
56:32
in itself. That's weird. And it's the kind of salute
56:35
you were doing that. No, no, dumb jacket. So that's
56:41
been illegal for seventy years, that kind of salute. So yeah, no,
56:45
I think. Oh, because he walked up to me, so
56:48
I'm sitting here and he said, wait a second, and
56:52
I think he's a lot of money spider or something
56:54
so or because it was in the summer, I thought
56:58
maybe something that got the He pied my hair and
57:02
he said, I can't believe it what I found. I thought,
57:06
here he goes, he's gonna make some joke about you know,
57:11
he's Daddy's long leg or something, you know. And he said,
57:17
I've just discovered a new rainforest tribe in your hair
57:23
and have made up like this whole and he was
57:25
going on about how they'd like, you know, build this
57:28
new little settlement on my bald patch, very very rude,
57:38
and I thought, this is ridiculous, the weird thing. But
57:41
then right, get this, I'm sitting there, the smoke alarm
57:46
goes off. I'm like, why has the smoke alarm gone off?
57:50
I'm not cooking anything. It's weird. I go out. I
57:57
could I turn it off? I had to put a stick.
58:00
I'm not tall enough to reach it, but Luke was
58:02
tall enough. So I did it a couple of times
58:05
and I was like, it kept coming back on again.
58:08
So I called him up and said, can you have
58:09
a look at my fire alarm? My smoke alarm? Because
58:15
it was quite good with stuff like that. The way
58:17
I was thinking is just take the thing off, disconnect it,
58:21
or see if it needs new batteries or something like that.
58:24
Because this is I can't. It's like, well, well, well
58:27
continuously he came up and I said, look, well if
58:33
the first thing he said is for the full first
58:36
thing he said, is it's a smoke alarm. I said,
58:39
I know, I know what it is. I can I
58:41
can hear it. He said, all right. I said, well
58:45
that's why I called you up to help me with that,
58:47
because I don't know what to do with it. He said,
58:50
he tried turning it off. There's a button you press.
58:54
I said, I know, there's a button. I have done that.
58:56
I've used the broom handle, I said. He said, well,
59:02
don't use the mop handle. I said, jay Z's lost it.
59:08
Oh that's good. And the way I kind of connected
59:09
it back to earlier anyway, Beyonce's fuming, fuman and furious,
59:17
and he said what I said, don't worry about it?
59:20
And I said, can you sort it out? He said,
59:24
all right, He turned it off. He just like pressed it.
59:28
Because he was a lot taller than me, he was
59:30
about nine foot tall. He bent, he had to bend
59:34
down to press it. And he came on again and
59:41
he said, well, you've got something. Obviously you've got something
59:43
setting it off. Are you cooking something? And I said no,
59:47
and he opened his no nothing. He looked at the
59:50
kitchen and nothing. He looked in the bathroom. I said,
59:54
I don't cook in the bathroom, do I? He said,
59:57
I don't know? With you? Just what does that mean?
1:00:03
That it doesn't matter? But you know, you do some
1:00:06
weird things sometimes, Jay, It's okay, And so I just
1:00:15
turned my back on him. I'm like, I don't what
1:00:16
to do next. The alarm goes off again and he's
1:00:22
like presses a button. At this point, he starts laughing
1:00:29
and pointing at me, which is a little bit rude.
1:00:33
And I said, were you laughing? And he couldn't stop laughing.
1:00:38
He's like he couldn't talk, he was laughing so much.
1:00:42
I said, why are you laughing? He said, I've just
1:00:44
seen where the smoke's coming from. I said, what he said,
1:00:50
do you like a little tribe on your board patch?
1:00:53
They started a fire. They're having a little bonfire, having
1:01:02
a big cookout or something. That's when I knew perhaps
1:01:08
I needed to shave my head because it's I think
1:01:15
it's bad right because I actually at the hospital. There
1:01:21
was an emergency. Because this was in the summer, there's
1:01:25
lots of emergencies, I'm sure, but there was a serious thing.
1:01:28
And the helicopter came down. Everyone was watching looking at
1:01:33
the sky. But everyone as like an ambulance, emergency ambulance
1:01:38
somewhere there.
1:01:39
Speaker 2: It is.
1:01:41
Speaker 1: Ambulance, helicopter ambulance is that what they call them. So
1:01:48
it's coming, it's like coming down. Everyone had their phones
1:01:51
out looking at everything, and they were looking at that
1:01:57
up in the sky and I'm looking at thinking, okay,
1:02:00
well this is interesting. I've never seen helicopter. I've seen
1:02:04
one land in the field a couple of times, but
1:02:08
I've never seen one land at the actual hospital. And
1:02:14
they're all looking up with their phones, and I'm thinking
1:02:17
of just like coming, you're seeing a helicopter before. Why
1:02:21
And I'm sure the people getting out of the helicopter
1:02:25
don't want to be filmed. They don't want you all
1:02:27
staring at them. And I kind of mumbled that, and
1:02:35
suddenly one person points their phone at me, and another
1:02:40
person points their phone at me, and I got about
1:02:43
fifteen people pointing their phone at me, and I'm thinking
1:02:47
I said that too loud, and I said I didn't
1:02:54
know what to say. I was a bit embarrassed. Well,
1:02:57
it turned out what actually happened, and they didn't hear
1:03:01
me say that. It turned out that helicopter was trying
1:03:04
to land on my board patch. That was very long winded,
1:03:11
wasn't it. I think if I made it shorter me, Ah, there,
1:03:20
I don't I do. I don't do short, really do.
1:03:23
Everything I do is long winded. It's kind of supposed
1:03:26
to be. So I get I get there early to
1:03:32
the hot to the the farewell ceremony, and I see
1:03:38
these squirrels. So there's this whole green area like trees
1:03:44
and shrubbery and flowers, and it's really lovely. I mean,
1:03:52
it'd make a lovely garden to walk around in, you know,
1:03:57
if I was in a I was in a residential
1:04:01
care home or something in my older years. That's something
1:04:05
quite like to walk around because it's it's nature, but
1:04:11
it's it's contained. It's not huge, but it's definitely big
1:04:16
enough to go for a nice walk. You kind of
1:04:19
go in a circle. And having a cemetery there be
1:04:27
quite handy, wouldn't it as well? Save traveling? So but
1:04:32
I'm walking around and I see these two things. I'm
1:04:35
huge and rustling, and I'm trying to figure out where
1:04:37
it's coming from. Now you already know it's coming from
1:04:41
the squirrels because I mentioned the squirrels too soon, didn't I.
1:04:44
But let's forget that I mentioned the squirrels. Let's just
1:04:48
it erased that. So I'm walking through this like covering.
1:04:56
It was like a wooden structure that was built and
1:05:00
it looks like it's being built to commemorate a specific person,
1:05:06
and so it's a lovely little structure. I think there
1:05:08
might be some seats in there, So walking through they're
1:05:11
really really being careful with my feeting, my feeting, my footing,
1:05:17
my walking, trying to be calm and quiet. That's what
1:05:21
I'm trying to say. And I'm not sure what I'm
1:05:25
gonna I'm gonna turn in the corner. I don't know
1:05:27
what I'm going to see that. You know, it's squirrels.
1:05:30
So I don't know why I'm even going through this
1:05:33
part of the story. But anyway I turn around, I'm
1:05:36
looking and thinking, I wonder if it's another gardener. I
1:05:42
wonder if someone asleep. I don't know. I don't when
1:05:46
I say asleep, not buried, and not someone trying to
1:05:53
dig themselves out noly like that. It's not zombies, but
1:05:56
I wondered, and I thought, maybe it's someone pitched a
1:06:02
tent and they're sleeping there. And I thought, I don't
1:06:06
want to disturb them. If they are, it does look
1:06:10
like somewhere that maybe someone would climb over the fence
1:06:13
set a tent up because it's quite it's quiet, it's
1:06:18
quite quiet and secluded. But I imagine they'd be asked
1:06:26
to leave, you know, if there was seen during the day.
1:06:34
And I thought, maybe it's birds. I mean, you know,
1:06:36
it's squirrels or I don't know why I'm going for
1:06:38
all the different particular what it might have been. It
1:06:44
might have been a ufo.
1:06:47
Speaker 2: No.
1:06:48
Speaker 1: Anyway, I turned around and I see these squirrels running
1:06:50
along the grass. And because with neely in autumn, there's
1:06:55
quite a few leaves on the ground already, and a
1:07:00
lot of the fruits dropping off the trees, the nuts
1:07:03
off the hazel nut trees. And I think they have
1:07:07
hazel nuts, don't they and different things like that. So
1:07:12
I see these things running across the ground and I'm
1:07:14
thinking what they are? But we all know as squirrels.
1:07:19
But there were gray squirrels. Now, I don't know. I
1:07:25
think I'm correct in saying that in England, no is
1:07:34
it a gray squirrels? Is it a red squirrels that
1:07:37
we don't see anymore much? Anyway, these were gray squirrels,
1:07:42
and they really matched the tree that they were climbing
1:07:47
up and down. But they were climbing up and down backwards,
1:07:51
like climbing down the tree forward. It's like how I
1:08:00
like going up and said, how do you do that?
1:08:02
But I suppose the answer would be where you need
1:08:04
to be a squirrel, mate, don't you you need to
1:08:06
be a squirrel. You can't do this in the same
1:08:10
way as I can't walk around in Then weird shoes
1:08:15
are yours? I said, But shoes aren't weird. What's weird
1:08:20
about them? They just laughed and ran off. Sometimes that's
1:08:26
the worst insult, isn't it When you don't get an explanation,
1:08:30
but it doesn't seem any logic behind the insult. So
1:08:35
if someone laughs at my pink crocs, okay, fair enough.
1:08:40
Maybe to some people, bright pink crocs look like a
1:08:45
weird thing for an adult male to be a very young, handsome,
1:08:54
particularly sexy adult male like myself, to be wearing in public.
1:09:03
But I happen to like the color pink. I do.
1:09:07
I like pink. When I was in my thirties, early thirties,
1:09:14
what about thirty four, I was walking around in pink
1:09:19
and white like pastoral kind of pink and white like
1:09:24
pink tops, almost daring someone to say something, which is
1:09:30
a bit silly really, But it's like I looked awful.
1:09:37
I really did, because because I shaved my head and
1:09:41
there's a picture of me in the newspaper. When I
1:09:44
was doing the free paymently service in two thousand and six,
1:09:50
I looked really bad. You know, I wasn't because I'd
1:09:56
gone from being slim to putting a bit more weight on.
1:10:02
Because in two yeah, two thousand and four, I lost weight.
1:10:06
Two thousand and five, two thousand and six, I put
1:10:10
the weight back on, so I did not have a
1:10:18
six pack. So the old joker, I don't have a
1:10:21
six pack. I now have a keg something like that.
1:10:25
I had a whole pub and I just I had
1:10:36
a degree of confidence for no reason. I was like, well,
1:10:45
you know what, I'm just going to I'm going to
1:10:47
wear some nice clothes, but at the same time, I'm
1:10:53
going to look ridiculous and I'm not going to care.
1:10:59
And some of the stuff I wore wasn't Maybe it was.
1:11:05
It might have been too young for me even then.
1:11:10
I mean, I'm not talking about I wasn't walking around
1:11:12
in school uniform, but it might have been. Maybe what
1:11:15
I was I've never been. I've never been particularly I've
1:11:22
never I would say, and I'm not saying this in
1:11:24
a negative way, but just from my experience of myself,
1:11:29
my eye for fashion is a little bit shortsighted. It
1:11:35
needs glasses, you know, it needs a telescope. I can't really,
1:11:44
I never really had that. I've had a little help
1:11:47
with fashion in the past, a few little like being
1:11:50
took shopping to get clothes. But even then, I'm thinking, really,
1:11:56
you want me to wear that? And I remember I
1:12:01
had like two dates ninety five. One said to me,
1:12:07
because I was wearing I got so yeah, she took
1:12:09
me shopping, took me shopping and bought me some clothes.
1:12:15
And she said, because I was always I was used
1:12:17
to have my shirt hanging out on the outside. But
1:12:22
this is when I was really slim. She said, tuck
1:12:25
it in. Need to tuck it in. So I started
1:12:27
tucking it in. And then the next female I want
1:12:31
a date on, went with a date on, went to
1:12:34
a date on, had a date with She's because I
1:12:39
was always tucking everything in. From then, I'm thinking that
1:12:42
every woman on the whole planet loves shirts tucked in,
1:12:46
which is a silly way to think. I think it's
1:12:49
only about ninety two per So this next lady I dated,
1:12:55
she said, do us a favor. I said, well, I'm
1:12:58
tuck your shirt. So I untucked my shirt. Now, if
1:13:05
you do have your shirt tucked in, don't is a
1:13:12
little bit. Don't tuck it into your underpents, because she
1:13:19
was saying, why is it all damn at the front.
1:13:22
Don't worry about it. But oh, I'm gurgling my stomachs girdled.
1:13:28
I had a fried breakfast this morning after the the ceremony,
1:13:37
went and had a fried breakfast. So basically the people
1:13:40
it was there as me, there was more. There was
1:13:44
more pall bearers than there was audience members. Okay, technically
1:13:51
technically we weren't audience members because it wasn't a show.
1:13:55
Oh dear, I'm using the wrong words. I did that
1:14:00
when I was in the hospital, kept saying, it's all
1:14:02
about customers, like their patients. They're paid, They're not customers
1:14:07
their patients. It's like okay. So there was one, two, three, four, five, six.
1:14:14
Seven of those six were carrying the the thing to
1:14:23
the altar who was the altar to the figure at
1:14:26
the front, ready for the sacrifice, so they want And
1:14:32
there was someone in church who was walking in chart
1:14:35
in front. So there was seven of them. There was me,
1:14:44
There was his old friend that he's had for years,
1:14:48
his old friend's husband that he's also known, probably a
1:14:51
baby as long as he's known her, and then her father,
1:14:58
who is like ninety four four of us seven people
1:15:05
working in the church. Bit whatever, it is four of us,
1:15:12
and one of those was doing the ceremony. He was
1:15:16
holding the ceremony because he's a pastor or. I don't
1:15:20
know whatever. So we left, went to a carvery and
1:15:35
had a cook breakfast. Now here's we're all in a
1:15:39
bit wrong. Not wrong in a bad way. But when
1:15:43
she said yesterday, all going to go and get some
1:15:45
breakfast afterwards, I said, cool, I'm up for that. So
1:15:50
it gave me a lift to there. I gave me
1:15:53
left home as well, which is lovely. But we went
1:15:55
to this place and I'm thinking, good, we'll just order
1:15:58
a breakfast and they'll bring us a breakfast. But no,
1:16:03
it was self service. Now I didn't realize this. So
1:16:10
I go in and the first thing we do is
1:16:13
just go to the bar and order some drinks. And
1:16:20
I said, I think I have a coke please, And
1:16:23
I think two of us had cokes. Two of us
1:16:25
had lemonades or something like that or fruit juice. I forget,
1:16:31
and the lady behind the cara said, yeah, it's all
1:16:36
you can refeel. I said, okay. I didn't like that idea.
1:16:41
I wanted a bottle. I wanted something from behind the bar.
1:16:45
I didn't want to have to walk over there and
1:16:47
get it. I felt lazy. I felt particularly lazy. Plus
1:16:54
I didn't want to walk around when other people were eating.
1:16:59
I just want to it down at the table and
1:17:01
just sort of stay there until we left, walking around
1:17:04
like it's my new living room or something. You know,
1:17:11
it's all these people doing in my home. So I thought,
1:17:17
it's what all you can me feel?
1:17:20
Speaker 6: Yeah?
1:17:20
Speaker 1: All you can me feel like, well, in no world
1:17:24
am I going to drink more than one pint of
1:17:27
coke pretty much in a day. I don't drink coke anymore.
1:17:34
It's like I have a little bit. And I thought,
1:17:38
I treat myself. And then she and then she said, okay,
1:17:43
fair enough. She gave me a glass, and then someone mentioned, yeah,
1:17:51
that it's over there. It's the pepsi. I said, pepsi.
1:17:55
That's not coke, is it? And she said what I mean?
1:18:01
This is someone that works beyond the bar telling me
1:18:04
I asked for coke, and she points me towards a
1:18:06
pepsi machine. I was like, no, I didn't want PEPSI.
1:18:10
I wanted coke. I'm terrible, and I, I am so precious,
1:18:18
and I said I didn't really, I'm not really a
1:18:23
big fan of PEPSI I'll have it if there's nothing else.
1:18:26
But I said, if you've got coke beyond the bar,
1:18:28
she said, we've got them bottles, not on tap. I said,
1:18:32
could I have a bottle please? She said okay, and
1:18:36
the bloke next to me, the other what's her name is, father,
1:18:40
said I'd have a bottle as well. See he clearly
1:18:43
also didn't fancy going up and waited in a queue
1:18:47
to get his you know, refill law to get that.
1:18:52
So we got a bottle each. As she gets the glasses,
1:18:56
as she starts putting ice in the glass, I said,
1:18:58
no ice please. I really felt like I was being
1:19:02
one of those annoying customers, and I genuinely wasn't trying
1:19:05
to be annoying. If I told her that, I said it,
1:19:09
I hope when everyone left, and when I said I
1:19:13
wasn't trying to be awkward, then I just she said,
1:19:15
I don't worry. She said I wasn't listening anyway. I
1:19:19
said okay. But again the man actually said I know
1:19:26
I should be either. So she seemed to get the
1:19:29
alp with that that the lady beyond the bar. I
1:19:34
don't know. I mean it was, you know, it's quite
1:19:37
a nice day. I don't know if it's just standard
1:19:40
to have ice, but I never, and I do mean,
1:19:43
never have ice in my drinks ever. It's just something
1:19:50
I've learned, not since I was like in my twenties.
1:19:54
It's just one of the things I don't. I don't.
1:19:57
They're the same way I don't drink tap water. I
1:20:01
was a bottled water. It's one of my little idiosyncrasies.
1:20:04
Maybe maybe baby, maybe baby ahead you. So then all right,
1:20:13
I'm thinking, okay, well great, where's the menu. There's no menu?
1:20:20
What do you mean? So I've taken the drinks down,
1:20:24
it would put them on the tables. She said, there's
1:20:28
no menu. You just go and help yourself. Really self service?
1:20:37
What's next? Do I have to actually cut the food
1:20:39
up myself and put it in my own mouth? I
1:20:42
was like, what's going on here? The world's changing? Baby?
1:20:46
I mean, I know I don't get out much, but
1:20:48
come on, it's some going there. It's like, what's going
1:20:54
self service food? I've never it just uh uh yeah.
1:21:03
Most of it was cold, not cold wasn't hot, it
1:21:07
was kind of warm. I'm not moaning. I guess I
1:21:09
am moaning, and I really but I had a few bits.
1:21:14
I grabbed a sausage for Vinnie to bring back. He
1:21:17
was being all grumpy with me. I wonder where we
1:21:21
get it from he is he got grumpy for me,
1:21:23
or if I got grumpy from him, I don't know.
1:21:30
I think he was grumpy before he even got here.
1:21:33
He's very temperamental, unlike me. So I had I was
1:21:38
lasting a queue, so I had my breakfast. I just
1:21:41
let everyone do their thing first, and then I got
1:21:43
a few bits for me, and and I'm just like, okay.
1:21:51
There was a Yorkshire pudding, like a breakfast Yorkshire pudding,
1:21:56
and I had one because I don't think in my
1:22:00
entire lifespan, I've ever eaten a Yorkshire pudding with a
1:22:05
cook breakfast ever. And then a couple came behind me,
1:22:12
and the lady said, why were a Yorkshire put in there?
1:22:17
And he said, it's a breakfast Yorkshire pud.
1:22:20
Speaker 2: It.
1:22:22
Speaker 1: I think he was probably chrya like because he saw
1:22:25
that I had one of my plate Perhaps he was thinking,
1:22:27
let's not just let's not making fun of this person
1:22:31
not yet, wait till he's gone, nor will make fun
1:22:33
of him. They're probably sitting at home now tending their kids.
1:22:37
He's all this man, Oh cook breakfast. He only had
1:22:44
a Yorkshire put it on his plate. Well they're we're
1:22:48
talking about it for years. But yeah, it was quite
1:22:53
nice because you know it's it was unusual now, Yorkshire
1:23:01
putting in some egg, very unusual. So we have to
1:23:11
dinner the breakfast rather, I'm guessing at about ten o'clock, No,
1:23:18
probably half ten, about half ten we got that, I'd
1:23:22
say half nine year probably caught past ten, half ten.
1:23:31
I got here back here before eleven, No, did I.
1:23:43
Speaker 2: No?
1:23:43
Speaker 1: I think I got back here about half eleven something
1:23:47
like that. So we were probably in there about an
1:23:49
hour and we were just talking about uncle's sausages, and
1:23:56
they were telling me stuff that I'd not heard before,
1:23:58
and I was telling the stuff that they had not before.
1:24:00
Because I had a lot more contact with him than
1:24:05
anyone else. I was the only person that had regular
1:24:08
contact with him, as in face to face, because he
1:24:13
was always when it was like a little school kid,
1:24:18
sometimes like a little naughty boy, because whenever he did
1:24:21
something that was a bit I don't know, Okay, it
1:24:25
do something and it's say, don't tell her. That was
1:24:30
his do the other the other lady, and she looked
1:24:34
out for him. She bought him, used to get him
1:24:36
food once a month and water him, and had over Christmas.
1:24:42
So she'd known him for a long time, or he'd
1:24:44
known her for a long time, about thirty odd years.
1:24:49
But whenever he did anything that was like that, he
1:24:52
knew that she'd disapprove of.
1:24:55
Speaker 2: It.
1:24:55
Speaker 1: Swear me to secrecy, don't tell her. She'd tell me off,
1:25:01
I'll be in trouble. It's like you're seventy eight years old,
1:25:05
which mean you'd be in trouble. You can literally do
1:25:08
pretty much anything you want and get away with it,
1:25:12
you know, within a reason. And just like, oh sorry,
1:25:15
I'm old. I didn't realize what I was doing. Oh sorry,
1:25:21
he's evening in hospital. It's like, well, when something happened,
1:25:27
don't tell her, don't tell her, don't tell her. It's like,
1:25:31
what do you mean, don't tell her? Well, she's on holiday's,
1:25:35
she's she's it was her birthday today, and I don't
1:25:38
want her to be upset. I mean, this is when
1:25:41
he was given some really really bad news I don't
1:25:45
tell her. Don't let her know because she's her birthday
1:25:48
today and I don't want to ruin her birthday. So
1:25:52
I kept my promise and he told her days later.
1:26:03
It turns out it wasn't her birthday. Her birthday was
1:26:07
like three weeks ago, and she was I think she's
1:26:14
a little bit annoyed at me because I didn't tell her.
1:26:16
But he probably he'd like, Eve like, don't tell her.
1:26:19
If you tell her, I know you told her, Oh yeah,
1:26:22
but she needs to know you've he's only know he'd
1:26:25
known me for ten years, but he'd known her for
1:26:27
a lot longer. And I don't tell her if you
1:26:33
had it like a bit of difficulty during the night,
1:26:36
don't tell her. It's between me and you. What in
1:26:43
the end? I mean, I say in the end. But
1:26:50
after a couple of weeks of this, I just decided
1:26:52
just to tell her stuff. I said, Oh, this is
1:26:55
something else he told me not to tell you, And
1:26:59
it's because sometimes she say to me, yeah, he said
1:27:03
the same to me, don't tell you. So he's tell
1:27:06
us a both say the same thing and then saying
1:27:08
don't tell them. Don't tell Jason what happened? So yeah,
1:27:16
it's weird when I talk about I'm missing it's such
1:27:20
a character really, And I nearly made a podcast episode
1:27:26
with him, and he wants to do something in the hospital,
1:27:31
and I thought it'd be good to do. But then
1:27:34
I also knew that we were going to be interrupted continuously,
1:27:39
which is not anyone's fault. It's just you know, the
1:27:42
hospital wasn't there as a recording studio for me and him.
1:27:49
And then also I said, well, yeah, I can bring
1:27:52
a recorder in and we can do something. He said, well,
1:27:55
go home and write a script. I said, I don't.
1:27:58
I don't write scripts for these let me boy the
1:28:01
Sleep podcast. I just he said, oh, come on, put
1:28:05
your head, put your thinking head on. It's like, I'm
1:28:08
not words or gummage. Go on, you can, you can.
1:28:13
But it was like, really, it's almost like it was
1:28:16
in the middle of being rude and being complimentary at
1:28:22
the same time. So on one level saying pull your
1:28:28
finger out, just put a bit of effort in, but
1:28:30
at the same time saying you can do it. You can.
1:28:34
You can write a very clever script and then make
1:28:37
it funny. And it's like, that's not how I do things.
1:28:42
It has to be organic and it has to be
1:28:45
just go with it and see what happens. And that
1:28:52
was I mean literally the last time we talked about
1:29:00
that was just before I got COVID and had to
1:29:04
have a week off, and when I came back, he
1:29:06
was asleep all the time. So I kind of just
1:29:12
wish i'd just done it. I pulled it in and
1:29:15
said to him, look, I'll just edit it or do it.
1:29:19
Just talk about your life, talk about you know whatever,
1:29:23
just so that because at this point I've been talking
1:29:29
about him, you know, since he since he went in there,
1:29:34
I've been talking about him, and I kind of feel
1:29:39
that maybe some listeners get a sense of what he
1:29:42
was like, and you know, but it'd be I think
1:29:51
it'd be nice to have a voice to listen to, to
1:29:55
hear him, you know. Yeah, Oh well, how do you
1:30:09
think about that? With like Luke, I didn't have his voice.
1:30:12
And I had one video of him with Andre always
1:30:18
he with Vinnie. I don't know, but he was I
1:30:20
think it might have been Vinnie, and that he was
1:30:23
there and he was like playing with him and stuff,
1:30:26
and I had some videos of him with Andre and
1:30:28
pictures and stuff, but I didn't really have his voice
1:30:32
on there. I had nothing of his voice on and
1:30:36
there's a specific reason for that, because he didn't want
1:30:40
He never wanted to be on camera, didn't want me
1:30:42
filming him or recording him. I said to him, why
1:30:47
don't we just do a podcast, you know, one time,
1:30:51
just like just a one off. No, one hundred percent
1:30:55
did not want It's almost that he didn't want any
1:30:57
record of himself on any type of digital format. And
1:31:06
it's a shame because it would have been nice because
1:31:09
the thing about him and Uncle Sausages when they smiled,
1:31:16
they really smiled, you know. It was as you could
1:31:22
say that about anyone really couldn't, I suppose, But there
1:31:24
was a there was a brightness to it. There was
1:31:29
a real uplift to their smile that was genuine. It
1:31:35
was never fake. I never saw Luke put a fake
1:31:39
smile on the whole time, and knew him and Uncle
1:31:43
Sausages are the same. You know, it didn't have to.
1:31:48
They were never in scenarios where they had to put
1:31:50
on a fake smile. So when they did smile, I
1:31:54
mean Uncle Sausages was smiling a lot because he loved sport.
1:31:57
He's always excited about the next sporting event Luke. He
1:32:07
smiled when it was just genuinely a smile, if that
1:32:13
makes sense. The one thing that Uncle sausages. I noticed
1:32:21
this when I was in hospital. Actually it wasn't only
1:32:24
I noticed it, probably because last year we got a
1:32:27
lot closer the last year anyway, And I noticed that
1:32:36
when he looked at me sometimes he reminded me of
1:32:39
my Nan. His eyes. He had the sort of same
1:32:42
kind of look in his eyes, like smiley eyes that
1:32:45
my Nan had. And I noticed that in hospital that
1:32:50
he had he had that look, and he kept reminding
1:32:53
me of my Nan, that kind of looking up at
1:32:58
me with that smile. The eyes. It didn't need to
1:33:03
be smile of his face, it's his eyes were smiling.
1:33:07
And yeah, yeah, So I had my breakfast, came back,
1:33:18
gave Viny the sausage. He didn't want it. It was
1:33:22
really grumpy. He turned his nose up at it was
1:33:30
that many thing. I don't want that. So I literally
1:33:33
stole the sausage from the restaurant for him, put it
1:33:37
in a napkin to be It wasn't really stealing, because
1:33:42
I've been very loud of it, Like I can't believe
1:33:45
I've never stole a sausage before I paid for the sausage.
1:33:51
I don't think it's really stealing, is it. I don't
1:33:53
think so. If you go into McDonald's and you shove
1:34:00
you got a quarter pounder with cheese, fries and and McMuffin,
1:34:11
and you shoved the McMuffin down your pants, it's not steel,
1:34:15
is it, because you bought it already. So I bought
1:34:24
the sausage back and he didn't want it. He had
1:34:27
the help with me. He really was grumpy with me,
1:34:32
so I had I didn't have anything to eat, so
1:34:35
I wasn't hungry at that point. I sat down for
1:34:38
a little while and then I went to bed, had
1:34:40
a idea did to go and never lie down. So
1:34:43
he came into the bedroom me still didn't want a
1:34:45
sausage because I bought the sausage into the bedroom with me.
1:34:52
And so when I go into the bedroom, I take
1:34:55
his food and his water in the bedroom with me
1:34:58
and I bring it back in here. So wherever whatever
1:35:00
room we're in, I make sure it's always goes water
1:35:02
in his food. And I was probably had about half
1:35:07
hour an hour little kip for about half hour to
1:35:11
an hour, maybe an hour listening to some music Radio three.
1:35:20
It is my go to at the moment. A lot
1:35:24
of classical sound music on the orchestras and stuff like that.
1:35:31
And I've really kind of fallen in love with Chindler's
1:35:38
List album, the music for the movie. It's something about
1:35:43
that do Do.
1:35:44
Speaker 3: Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do.
1:35:47
Speaker 1: Do Do Do Do Do.
1:35:50
Speaker 3: Do Do Do Do Do do do.
1:35:55
Speaker 1: Oh. It's chips. It's chips. I don't know. I can't
1:35:58
remember what the song is, but it's it's a good song.
1:36:02
And I still think the bon Jovi's greatest song. While
1:36:11
we're talking about songs, bon Jovi's great song was Living
1:36:14
on a Prayer because that was out at the same
1:36:18
time as The Final Countdown by Europe. I do believe
1:36:21
it's the Final Cowtown because I used that in a joke.
1:36:30
It's kind of ruined because I've said it. But when
1:36:34
I was doing my last job, they were making loads
1:36:37
of redundancies and stuff like that, and that the man
1:36:42
who was representing the company, the financial company that just
1:36:45
bought the company I was working for, they didn't know
1:36:48
what they were going to do with it. They were
1:36:50
looking for buyers and they just bought it for the money.
1:36:53
You bought it for the probably the building and whatever else.
1:36:59
So he said, well, we're going to try and get
1:37:03
a buyer for this insurance company. We're going to be
1:37:08
splitting things up, but we're going to try and get
1:37:10
a buyer for the for the car insurance side. But
1:37:18
what we're going to do, we'll be honest with you. You know,
1:37:20
we don't know what's going to happen. And he said,
1:37:27
but we want to stay positive. We appreciate you, and
1:37:31
you know all that stuff. And he played a little
1:37:35
video like showing the company that he belonged to, because
1:37:41
they were like one of these acquisition companies, so they'd
1:37:44
buy something and sometimes they just all they do is
1:37:47
because they wanted the business, the customers, and then they
1:37:51
could just sell those customers to a different insurance company.
1:37:59
So he had this it's like little video, this is
1:38:01
what we do, and this is you know, and then
1:38:04
he said he played some music and he said, well
1:38:11
we're going to end this now. We going to end
1:38:12
this little session because they shut all the phones off
1:38:16
and everything. So it was probably about one hundred and
1:38:19
fifty of us in there, maybe less, I don't maybe
1:38:22
one hundred and fifty, maybe one hundred, I don't know.
1:38:26
I didn't count everyone. And he had this CD player
1:38:31
and he said, so we just we'll end this now
1:38:35
with a song, and what would be a suitable song
1:38:40
to end this little session with? And I shouted out
1:38:44
the final countdown? And it got a good laugh because
1:38:51
it was like, you know, it was the final countdown
1:38:54
for the company, literally because I did close. He didn't
1:38:59
find it funny, and neither did my supervisor. But I
1:39:06
thought it was quite quick of me, bearing in mind
1:39:09
the situation. I think it was a scenario. I think
1:39:11
I was quite quick, but it was ruined by me
1:39:18
telling you right at the beginning pretty much that I
1:39:21
was going to shout out it was the final countdown,
1:39:23
because I've already mentioned it. But living on a prayer,
1:39:30
I mean, bon jovid. Did they really became absolutely massive
1:39:35
in the early nineties, didn't they like huge axel rows?
1:39:40
It was like the biggest thing in the world. But
1:39:44
I still think like a prayer in nineteen eighty five,
1:39:50
was it still the best thing they did? So good,
1:39:56
such a great song. In fact, I don't even remember
1:40:02
anything they did in the nineties. Don't you give love
1:40:11
a bad name. That was also in the eighties, but
1:40:16
they were like a supergroup, weren't They are absolutely massive
1:40:19
in the nineties. Huh. And then I got up, I
1:40:28
took Vinny for another wander around the park. Oh yeah,
1:40:35
that's when we're going through the field. It's a cornfield,
1:40:40
united sweet corn on a cop sweet corn. They're growing
1:40:44
sweet corn. I'm talking millions of sweet corns, probably hundreds
1:40:53
of thousands of sweet corns, maybe millions, I don't know.
1:40:58
It's too many to count or too many for me
1:41:02
to count. And they're like four or five fields, absolutely
1:41:06
huge amounts. And I didn't know it was a sweet corn,
1:41:11
and I saw one on the floor. I said, what
1:41:13
if someone dropped a sweet corn on the floor? And
1:41:16
I saw that what it is is someone had clearly
1:41:21
just picked one off and stripped it off, and it
1:41:25
wasn't ripe, but it was definitely a sweet corn. And
1:41:33
I'm thinking, how much did this sweet corns cost in
1:41:35
the shop? About two pounds per sweet corn or something.
1:41:41
And I'm literally walking through a field millions of pounds
1:41:48
worth of sweet corns, and it was just really for
1:41:54
the first time, it's really weird because I've never really
1:41:57
felt that way about because I don't know much about crops.
1:42:01
I don't know much about you know, what things are worth.
1:42:06
But I do like sweet corns, and I know that
1:42:09
they're not cheap until literally just pass thousands. I can
1:42:18
just put my hand out and touch thousands as I
1:42:21
walked up a sweet corns, and I'm like, hmm, but
1:42:32
I'm thinking when they're right, maybe I'll just take a
1:42:35
few for myself and maybe the rest of the country
1:42:44
take all of them. Maybe just maybe just take one
1:42:46
and see if it's if, you know, if I'm able
1:42:51
to actually eat it, and if i am, then next
1:42:56
year I'll do the same thing and just maybe put
1:42:59
a few in the free or something. I mean, is
1:43:03
it stealing, it's technically it's it's coming out of the earth,
1:43:09
our earth that we all share, and it's in a
1:43:13
public place. I don't know, is it It's not that
1:43:22
I want to I mean to me, is that any
1:43:25
different from just taking raspberries, you know, picking raspberries or
1:43:33
take you know, picking bananas off a tree or apples
1:43:36
off a tree. I mean, there's this tree, it's an
1:43:41
apple tree in the park. It's inside someone's garden, but
1:43:47
there's a fence, so half the apples are dropping on
1:43:50
the field. You're on the park every day. I'd say
1:43:55
probably at least ten fifteen twenty apple falling down. I'm
1:44:02
exaggerating for a fact, but a good few at least,
1:44:07
probably a handful a bowl full of apples falling down
1:44:12
into the park. It's free apples. What do I do?
1:44:17
I kicked them. I kicked them. I kicked them, and
1:44:25
then I forget how to say the word kicked them
1:44:28
or the sentence I kick him along because Vinnie loves
1:44:34
chasing them and he eats them. And for some reason,
1:44:39
because they're in a tree, I kind of think, oh,
1:44:47
there's gotta be something wrong with them. But the fact
1:44:52
is they're falling out of the tree because they're ripe
1:44:55
and they're ready. It's nothing's forced am out of the tree.
1:45:01
It's not being it wasn't windy or anything. It's just
1:45:04
it's time for them to fall out. And I could
1:45:07
have literally just picked them up, brought them home and
1:45:11
eaten them, clean them off first, got with the skin,
1:45:16
because you know, check make sure there's nothing in them.
1:45:19
But I could have had an apple, I could have
1:45:26
put more in the freeze freezer with my sweet corn.
1:45:31
Put in the freezer with a sweet corn. I must
1:45:33
have a huge freezer. I did see these these sweet corns.
1:45:43
I would say that about ten fifteen foot high. Not
1:45:50
the sweet corns themselves, but the the plants really way
1:45:56
way taller than me. Maybe not fifty but probably good
1:46:01
ten foot i'd say, yeah, well taller than me. A
1:46:07
lot taller than me, and I'm eight foot. So it's
1:46:15
quite a good place for animals to sort of hang
1:46:18
out and hide. And the other day I saw a
1:46:20
bambi run through, like run right out of one and
1:46:24
then into another one out of one field and into
1:46:27
another field because they're like really close together. Made me jump,
1:46:34
it did. That's the whole story. There isn't anything else.
1:46:48
I can't see nothing else. That was everything. Sorry. Sorry.
1:46:57
Then I came home again, had those deliveries. I also
1:47:03
got a few grocery deliveries between two and four, but
1:47:12
they weren't groceries. It was but it was just like
1:47:16
bottles of water, some breakfast cereals, and a couple of
1:47:20
packets of villeage treats. No food. I mean breakfast cereal
1:47:26
is food, but no food food. I got my fridge
1:47:30
is empty apart from milk. I've got some milk as well.
1:47:33
So I with the milk, some butter and some margarine
1:47:38
and half a tin of dog food. There's nothing in
1:47:41
my fridge. Loads of breakfast cereal. Yeah, so what I'll
1:47:52
do tomorrow i''ll have to try and get some groceries
1:47:54
and mutual food in. I'll figure that out tomorrow. I
1:48:03
could get something tonight, but I don't need to. I
1:48:07
don't need to get anything. I've got enough for my
1:48:08
breakfast in the morning. Yeah, that's fine, and I have
1:48:16
some breakfast. I have a bowl of breakfast cereal now
1:48:20
because I had a cooked breakfast earlier, cooked dinner whatever,
1:48:26
and it's more. I'll probably order get some I don't know,
1:48:34
I don't I'm not sure, but get a few groceries
1:48:38
to get them delivered tomorrow morning when I'm up and
1:48:46
that and then then I did this recording. And that's
1:48:51
that's kind of what I've done today. Although the council
1:48:57
called me yesterday to say have I got the key?
1:48:59
I still got the key to Uncle Sausages Flat And
1:49:02
I said yeah, And I said, you're going to bring
1:49:04
it into us to the office. I said, no, that's
1:49:10
like that's going to cost people forty quid to get
1:49:13
them back. It's like, no, I'm not proud not doing that.
1:49:16
I said, you want the key, come and get it.
1:49:19
Or I'd said I can do I can just leave
1:49:22
the key in the door in the lock, you know,
1:49:25
for you, so then when you come around you can
1:49:28
just let yourself in. And she said, no, I can't
1:49:31
do that because someone might come in and basically, what
1:49:37
do they call it? Live there for free? I said, well,
1:49:44
it's up to you. But and then she said, if
1:49:47
you entered it, if you if you cleared all the
1:49:49
stuff out. I said no, no, because I did try,
1:49:54
and at first of all, I was told that we
1:49:56
needed to do that. So I offered to help to
1:49:59
bags stuff up put it outside, and I did. I
1:50:01
did about fifty sixty bags, and then when I was
1:50:07
a little bit unwell, I went in there just and
1:50:11
bagged up and put about another fifty bags of stuff.
1:50:15
So I've cleared most of the stuff apart from the furniture,
1:50:21
so most of it is actually bagged up. I've left
1:50:24
about fifty bags in there, and the council can come
1:50:28
and take that. The reason I didn't put those outside
1:50:32
is because the council told me I didn't need to.
1:50:34
They said, I don't worry about it, we'll sort it out.
1:50:38
And then she calls up and says, have I done it?
1:50:40
Like no? So and then the council they were here
1:50:46
today emptying the flat downstairs, and I went down. I said,
1:50:56
I just checking. Do you want the key for of
1:50:59
course sausages flat? And they said no. I said, I'm
1:51:05
just asking because the council phone yesterday and they said,
1:51:08
you're going to be coming around and she said no.
1:51:11
He said, I don't know anything about it. I said, okay,
1:51:14
I don't worry. So it might be a different crew
1:51:19
that come around next week or tomorrow, whenever they come,
1:51:24
I don't know. But I can't guarantee I'm going to
1:51:26
be in It's not that I go out a lot,
1:51:29
but I might, you know, I might be in bed,
1:51:32
might be asleep, I might be taking Vinie to the park.
1:51:41
So yeah, it's not that I'm going to be out
1:51:43
raving reval revol Tell me. Tell me I got Buddy
1:51:51
Holly in my head recently. Do you ever like sit
1:51:59
around thinking? I wonder what Buddy Holly would have done
1:52:04
if he'd been around for a long time, you know,
1:52:11
because he was young. He's like twenty two years old.
1:52:14
I think when he kind of he did his fame
1:52:19
and he was gone, and he was so prolific in
1:52:26
such a short time. Imagine what he could have accomplished
1:52:29
between by the time he got to thirty. Musically, he
1:52:39
could have been I just he could have been the
1:52:46
big I mean he was big, but he could have
1:52:47
been like but you think now, I mean he'd been
1:52:52
his Wow. So he was in his early twenties, in
1:52:56
the fifties, maybe it's nineties now, I guess, but he
1:53:07
might have been a lot of starting in this one today.
1:53:09
Have you noticed that he might have been like the
1:53:13
most prolific songwriter of all time. There's a few really
1:53:19
prolific songwriters, but he might have been the number one. Wow.
1:53:31
I remember, like in the nineties, I serenaded a lady
1:53:35
that I met and I sung true Love Ways. She said,
1:53:47
I really, I said, are you I'm not going to
1:53:52
be rude of I said, I said, so, I'm never
1:53:57
really sure when a woman's turned on. And she said,
1:54:01
you know what I'm turned on? I said why? She said, well,
1:54:06
you know, if I'm enjoying. I like getting serenaded too,
1:54:14
And when I was serenaded too, that turns me on
1:54:17
more than anything in the world. I said, really. She
1:54:21
said yeah, so I someun true love ways to her.
1:54:29
Never saw her again after that, I mean after I
1:54:33
saund the song, she said, I get out. I thought
1:54:40
it went quite well. I saw her a few years later,
1:54:46
right because she was like on around the comedy scene,
1:54:50
and I said, do you remember that night? She said yeah.
1:54:56
I said, what did I do wrong? He said, you
1:54:59
liked buddy Hole and you're like being serenaded. She said yeah.
1:55:05
I said, what you didn't I sung it and then
1:55:08
you kind of didn't want me if you asked me
1:55:11
to leave sort of straight away, and she said yeah.
1:55:15
I said, well, I'm just wondering for the future. What
1:55:18
can I have done different? She said, well, it was
1:55:23
a nice song. I said yeah. She said it was
1:55:29
sung nicely. You know it's a song I like it
1:55:32
was sung nicely. I said, okay, So where did I
1:55:36
go wrong? She said the strip tease? If you didn't
1:55:45
need that, didn't need you to be stripping off while
1:55:48
singing it. I said, I can't know what strip tease is.
1:55:54
She said, also that attitude of yours okay, fair enough,
1:55:59
So learn something new. I try and learn something new
1:56:06
every day, but I don't try, but I think I
1:56:08
probably do learn something new. I don't know what I've
1:56:12
learned today. I think I'm trying to learn about myself.
1:56:21
How do I tick? Why do I tick? What I
1:56:24
really feel about things? Who am I really? Who am
1:56:33
I really? Where am I going? What am I doing?
1:56:39
And why? So On that note, this has been quite
1:56:45
a long recording, but I think I needed to do
1:56:50
a long recording because I haven't done one for a while.
1:56:54
Tomorrow I will be doing the Q and A Friday,
1:56:58
so there's still time. If you go to my Facebook group,
1:57:02
Jason Newland's Boring Group, there's a link on my website
1:57:08
you can leave me a question underneath the image that
1:57:14
I posted, which basically says, if you any questions for
1:57:18
this week's Q and A Friday, and there's a date,
1:57:20
which is the twenty ninth of August. There's a few
1:57:26
questions already, but you're welcome to add more. Ideally, I
1:57:30
would say try and do it before lunchtime UK time
1:57:37
tomorrow because I've got a tendency of donies normally in
1:57:41
about afternoon time, sometimes the morning. Generally maybe afternoon because
1:57:51
it's if it was just for like half hour forty
1:57:55
five minutes an hour, I might do it in the morning,
1:57:58
but because they longer recording the Q and A Fridays,
1:58:02
I generally I like to give myself a bit of
1:58:05
time and space. So that's me done for today. Thank
1:58:12
you for listening, and remember to be kind to yourself
1:58:16
because you do deserve to be happy. Lots of love. Bye.
1:58:29
Relax in a more deep and meaningful way, maybe in
1:58:44
a way that can not just allow you to feel
1:58:50
calmer now and throughout the time we've spend together here. Yeah,
1:59:02
not just relaxed at the end of the recording when
1:59:07
it's finished and you can enjoy that sense of comfort
1:59:14
and peace, but also I think it would be nice
1:59:29
to have those feelings of relaxation continue for longer after
1:59:49
the recording has ended, so that you can still benefit
2:00:00
it from listening to my voice maybe in a few
2:00:09
hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly, especially
2:00:25
if you find like some people do and myself as well.
2:00:30
I sometimes I find one particular recording that really resonates
2:00:37
with me, and I just listen to it over and
2:00:43
over again every morning, every evening. There was this recording
2:00:57
from We're Going back about nineteen ninety nine. It was
2:01:04
it wasn't hypnosis, but it was a guided visualizations. It
2:01:09
kind of was hypnosis, really, and I managed to find
2:01:16
it again and it still has the same effect on me.
2:01:23
And part of it was the person's voice relaxed me
2:01:36
just felt so peaceful, and I'd look forward to listening
2:01:43
to her in the morning and in the evening. And
2:01:56
I knew before even pressing the place button that since
2:02:05
I've done that, pressed the play button. This is in
2:02:10
the days of CD players, pressed the play button, ifact
2:02:24
it might have even been a tape tape recorder. I'd
2:02:28
lie down on the bed and then even without necessarily
2:02:39
listening to her words because I had them memorized. Really,
2:02:54
it was as if my body knew exactly what to do,
2:03:05
and the muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and
2:03:27
I remember my mind would slow down. Now. Now, I
2:03:41
was listening to this recording in the early days of
2:03:48
learning hypnosis, and long before I ever made any videos
2:03:58
or audio record budens myself, because I didn't start doing
2:04:03
that till two thousand and six. But I knew, I
2:04:17
knew how helpful I found being able to just let go,
2:04:33
to have that trust in the person that I'm listening to,
2:04:46
knowing that it's going to be just as relaxing, if
2:04:54
not more so, each time you hear my voice. Yes,
2:05:04
you may feel the same. Some people have been listening
2:05:15
to me for over a decade, maybe not solidly, obviously
2:05:29
not twenty four hours a day, but maybe people come back.
2:05:38
Some people maybe listen every day. That's something that I
2:05:53
do which you may not realize by listening, is when
2:06:09
I record these recordings. Now, for example, I also am
2:06:25
affected by the words that I say. So if I
2:06:39
said to you, focus on your feet, notice your feet relaxing,
2:06:49
I will be focusing on my feet. I will be
2:06:57
noticing my feet relaxing. If I said, focus on your hands,
2:07:18
and maybe notice the difference between each hand, perhaps notice
2:07:28
the the air in the room, the temperature of the room.
2:07:36
On the backs of your hands. You may start to
2:07:47
notice what almost feels like a very light breeze, even
2:07:55
though there may not be any type of breeze at
2:07:59
all where you are right now. And as you become
2:08:13
aware of your hands, I'm also aware of how relaxed
2:08:28
my hands, our feeling now, and when it comes to
2:08:53
potentially drifting off to sleep, which may be the reason
2:08:59
you'll listening, I also feel drowsy when I make these recordings.
2:09:20
I also notice my mind drifting. In fact, at times
2:09:39
I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing, and then I
2:09:53
carry on talking. It's only when I listen back to
2:10:05
do the editing I hear snoring and I think, I
2:10:14
don't remember snoring. I remember talking. This snoring was a
2:10:25
pick turned up. That's why I sound like when I
2:10:31
snare and I get really into the whole experience. I
2:10:50
don't know how you feel, how relaxed do you feeling
2:10:59
your feet, how relaxed you feel in your hands. I
2:11:25
have noticed more and more that the more relaxed, deeper
2:11:44
level of comfort you feel, the easier your breathing becomes.
2:12:01
It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation. So this allows
2:12:18
you the breath easier without necessarily focusing on your breath. However,
2:12:49
being able to notice the ease in which you breathe
2:13:18
so naturally, you breathe so very easily and smoothly. Whenever
2:14:08
I imagine my breathing improving. When I've got my eyes closed,
2:14:33
I tend to visualize a beautiful field with trees and
2:14:46
flowers producing all that life giving oxygen. It feels nice to,
2:15:28
if nothing else, just taking some time away from everything,
2:15:58
enjoying that feeling of peace, serenity with a joyful heart.
2:16:56
Time seems to just to rip by, so very slowly, relaxed,
2:17:27
so deeply peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in
2:18:07
this moment, completely free. Notice that your mind has slowed down.
2:19:19
Slowed down because nothing really requires your attention. You can
2:20:06
enjoy the physical sensations of allowing the stress drip out
2:20:24
of your body, to appear out of every part of
2:20:43
your body and being released from your brain your mind
2:21:27
slowly but surely, the muscles slax, relax h r really
2:22:16
so very deeply, rights so deeply, and the feelings, the
2:22:57
pleasant feelings in your arm us and shoulders, deepening each
2:23:22
part of your body further and deeper and deeper. M
2:24:00
I to sine the feelings in the back of your neck,
2:24:29
the feelings in your wrists, muscles in front of your body.
2:25:19
I all say, feeling peaceful, deep there's a sense of
2:26:03
peace spreads through your very core.
2:26:42
Speaker 7: Even when you focus on your mind, her mind becomes.
2:27:09
Speaker 1: Eve and slower, even deeper, relaxing, so very slow. His stomach,
2:28:46
PA's fin's stomach, your back. Notice, Notice how relaxed you'd
2:29:34
never fear in the hole of your back. You spy
2:30:17
from your brain all the way down the middle of
2:30:21
your back, sending and receiving millions of messages every day.
2:30:44
Deep comfort increasing deeply ries.
2:31:32
Speaker 2: You n.
2:31:58
Speaker 1: R yeah, spreading those signals down your spine or cord
2:32:11
into air. Every part of your body, your shins and
2:32:30
your calf muscles well el burs feelings of peace and tranquility,
2:33:26
spreading through your body, tips of your toes, to your eyes,
2:33:44
your fingers, all the way to your lower back. M
2:34:03
on I thinker, Rea, thinker, peace, drifting mind just wandering away,
2:35:16
happy to let go, Let go.
2:35:27
Speaker 8: Completely, let go, so tranquil, the whole body.
2:36:27
Speaker 1: Enjoying a sensor listening go he even more.
2:37:03
Speaker 9: Usa as.
2:37:31
Speaker 10: USA, as a.
2:38:08
Speaker 1: Peace fur enjoy the space, this space of peace and safety.
2:39:24
So fary, relaxed, ye, ye, letting go. Maybe we can
2:41:24
just focus on the different parts of your body, just
2:41:35
to notice a forehead in your eyes ure so lose
2:43:04
noticing the sense of complete freedom, absolute freedom, drif drif
2:44:37
Pea's for energy peace to breathe such easier.
2:46:02
Speaker 10: Loose.
2:46:24
Speaker 1: You may have or may not have noticed your mind
2:46:36
drifting peaceful, moveingly, even more deeply in the direction of
2:47:43
total blissful pace, blissful pace to total peace.
2:49:38
Speaker 11: Com.
2:49:44
Speaker 1: So calm, let him go peace with mind relaxed forty
2:50:57
so relaxed, so relaxed. Your body feels almost invisible, so
2:51:54
very relaxed, peaceful, so peaceful, real licka, so peaceful. And
2:53:14
you could start to notice that you are feeling more relaxed,
2:53:25
even though I've not purposely focused your mind upon that
2:53:36
sense of physical comfort that is growing within you throughout
2:53:42
your body, and your mind starts to slow down, And
2:53:55
that could be almost in recognition of I guess my
2:54:03
speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally feel calmer.
2:54:21
Just by listening to my voice, you give yourself an
2:54:29
opportunity to take a break from the day, take a
2:54:37
break from your life as it is, and to give
2:54:45
yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take some time
2:54:53
off and to allow your body to relax, and to
2:55:00
allow your mind to slow down, which in turn releases
2:55:11
the tension and he stresses that you had in your body.
2:55:21
It's almost as if the parts of your body just
2:55:26
open up, allowing the negativity out and at the same
2:55:37
time replacing that negativity with positive heathing energy, which then
2:55:49
fills your body up and your mind to also starts
2:55:58
to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling,
2:56:18
positive healing, an energy that spreads through your body like
2:56:32
a wave of comfort. And all this comes from just
2:56:46
allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however
2:56:55
long you want it to be, to just rest and
2:57:05
allow your mind and your body to almost reset itself
2:57:17
to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows
2:57:34
more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move
2:57:47
around your body and into your mind, almost as if
2:57:56
your mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring
2:58:06
each other, with that growing positivity and calmness. And it
2:58:19
feels nice. It really does feel nice to know that
2:58:27
you are the one that has allowed yourself to feel
2:58:37
more comfort and to experience more of this deep relaxation
2:58:53
spreading throughout your body. And as I focus on each
2:59:07
part of your body, you can notice that that part
2:59:17
becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it. It
2:59:29
becomes even more calm and comfortable just by focusing. And
2:59:43
as I move down your body, starting at your head,
2:59:51
the parts that you've already focused on will continue to
2:59:58
relax deep and those parts that we've not yet focused
3:00:06
on or just automatically release any remain intention in anticipation
3:00:20
of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going
3:00:33
to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware
3:00:40
of the feelings of your forehead and any background sounds
3:00:50
like mister Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to
3:00:55
feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment.
3:01:06
This isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.
3:01:15
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature
3:01:21
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just
3:01:32
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus
3:01:42
only on my voice and that part of your body.
3:01:52
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, no
3:02:00
to sin how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so
3:02:11
light at the same time, and all the muscles around
3:02:18
your eyes relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth,
3:02:33
your lips, your tongue, your teeth, and your gums, the
3:02:40
whole of your mouth relaxing, calm and loose as you
3:02:55
focus now on your jewel, not just the part of
3:03:03
your jaw near your mouth and your chin, but all
3:03:07
the way up the size of your face to your ears,
3:03:14
the hole of your jaw, feeding more relaxed.
3:03:29
Speaker 6: And calm.
3:03:38
Speaker 1: Focusing on your neck, the front of your neck and
3:03:47
your throat relaxing and loose and calm. Sides of your neck,
3:04:03
the right and the left side of your neck relax
3:04:10
and loose and calm. And now the back of your neck,
3:04:28
focusing on the back of your neck, letting go of
3:04:39
any tension that may have been there before, and enjoying
3:04:46
that sense of increasing comfort and release that you can experience.
3:05:00
It's in the back of your neck, moving down your back,
3:05:13
and moving either side of your spine right from the
3:05:18
top of your back all the way down to the
3:05:23
bottom of your back, down to your lower back. And
3:05:41
as you move up and down your spine, you can
3:05:48
feel the muscles either side of your spine relaxing even more.
3:06:04
And as those muscles relax that sense of comfort starts
3:06:10
to spread outwards from your spine into both sides of
3:06:21
your back, the top of your back, the middle, and
3:06:28
your lower back. And as you scan gently and slowly
3:06:38
up and down your back, there's the muscles in the
3:06:44
top of your back relax and become looser. The muscles
3:06:54
in the middle of your back also seem to just
3:07:00
to almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting,
3:07:14
And in your lower back it seems to be an
3:07:20
extra special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips.
3:07:37
Sit down your lower back, into your hips, into the
3:07:45
area where your cosis are, and into your buttocks, and
3:07:54
all those muscles that spread in lower back into your
3:08:03
hip area start to melt, start to really let go.
3:08:23
Don't even nowhere about to focus on your shoulders. Your
3:08:30
back and your spine will continue to let go, continue
3:08:42
to relax so calmly, and as you focus on your shoulders,
3:08:58
you may notice that they're already feeling really loose. They're
3:09:14
already feeling calm, and they're feeling Those muscles then move
3:09:40
from your neck into your shoulders. Feel so soft and gentle,
3:10:00
so smooth and calm, and the feeling in your shoulders
3:10:29
seens to spread deep into your shoulders. That sense of relaxation,
3:10:39
not just traveling deeply into your muscles, but also relaxing
3:10:53
the bones and moving all away to underneath your arms,
3:11:06
relaxing that whole area between the tops of your shoulders
3:11:13
and underneath your arms healing. You feel so relaxed and
3:11:31
comfortable in your shoulders, which sends that deep healing message
3:11:52
into your arms. You may feel almost as if your
3:12:04
arms are not even there, because they're so relaxed, so
3:12:15
deeply relaxed, so so calm, so loose that fear and
3:13:00
spreading all the way down your arms two elbows, including
3:13:17
your elbows circumforts spreads or away into your wrists, your
3:13:42
forearments and your wrists being so heavy. Yet at the
3:13:58
same time, sunlight and gentle folks now on your hands,
3:15:07
my hands, so peaceful in your hands. There's a sense
3:15:38
of real peace. It just seems to feel so familiar
3:16:08
when your hands relax deeply. Is your things A thing?
3:17:13
Is slidle a thing? It tips Moving your attention to
3:18:19
the front of your body, so comfortable, Moving your focus
3:18:50
to your legs, love muscles in your thighs, your knees
3:20:35
so relaxed, a carved muscles, and just shins copusedly four
3:23:12
and the faathing and your feet so peaceful, so calm,
3:23:33
so peaceful, so calm, hm hm so peaceful, so calm, so.
3:24:24
Speaker 6: Peace fall.
3:24:34
Speaker 1: RelA sin.
3:24:41
Speaker 6: Peace fall, so calm, loving.
3:24:56
Speaker 1: That deep relaxation, just spread your chest and your stomach,
3:25:16
letting go everything. So I'm going to start counting down
3:25:35
now from twenty down to one. You can imagine in
3:25:46
a way it's like just walking down some steps and
3:25:52
each step or twenty steps, and each step represents a
3:25:58
level of comfort. Each step represents a deepening of that comfort,
3:26:18
and the firvies you walk down those steps, the deeper
3:26:24
and more relaxed you feel. So starting with number twenty twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen,
3:29:07
sixteen eight fourteen fourteen too well five two nine eight
3:37:33
seven s five four two.
3:45:21
Speaker 5: One.
3:47:12
Speaker 1: And now as you focus on your eyes, we're gonna
3:47:29
count down from ten dout one, focusing just on your eyes,
3:47:45
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves,
3:47:55
our whole area that makes up your eye. And as
3:48:12
we count down from ten down to one, whilst focus
3:48:21
in on your eyes, you'll become twice is relaxed with
3:48:36
each number counting down, and you may find the all
3:48:49
you want to do is just drift off to sleep.
3:48:59
And it's that that's what you want, then just allow
3:49:05
yourself to do that. Now, focusing on your eyes, I'm
3:49:20
going to begin counting down from ten down to one
3:49:30
right now, ten nine eight seven, yay, five four three
3:57:08
two one. So count and down from ten to one
3:58:55
ten nine seven six five four three two one. And
3:59:27
maybe that was a bit too quick in order to relax.
3:59:31
Maybe it's a bit too fast for you to notice
3:59:36
the calming of your body, maybe even a little bit
3:59:44
of pressure there, like you're counting down from ten to one.
3:59:48
Would you expect me to do? Man, expect me to
3:59:52
just to go with floppy just because you're counting down.
4:00:01
We can try it again, but this time I go
4:00:05
bit slower this time, as you focus on the whole
4:00:12
of your body before we focus on your legs. Just
4:00:19
notice how your body does start to feel more relaxed
4:00:33
with every number that I count down ten nine eight
4:00:58
seven six five four three two one. And just notice
4:02:23
how how you feel generally, how your body feels. It's
4:02:35
not necessarily even about counting down from ten to one.
4:02:46
It's that space that you have that space between being
4:03:03
active physically or mentally to just sitting or lying down,
4:03:15
just being there, not doing anything, not saying anything, or
4:03:21
needing to think about anything. So it opens up a space,
4:03:28
you know, a bit of a space, a gap. And
4:03:37
the more I came down from ten to one, the
4:03:42
bigger that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness,
4:03:51
of comfort, relaxation. It's a nice feeling, and it moves
4:04:09
those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them away.
4:04:25
Allows you.
4:04:29
Speaker 5: To just.
4:04:32
Speaker 1: Slow down. Someone to count again from ten down to
4:04:39
one and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as
4:04:49
it widens, it's almost like the stress and attention falls
4:04:55
into the gap and gives you that distance, that space.
4:05:16
Now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three two one.
4:07:23
How does your body feel now? Can you notice the
4:07:44
feeling calmer, the feeling more relaxed as we now focus
4:08:22
on your legs, just your legs. We're just gonna start
4:08:43
with focusing on your thighs. Of course, it's not the
4:09:02
most exciting thing to be doing because I'm sure like
4:09:10
most of your body is not a lot going on
4:09:13
right now. Just focusing on the whole of your thighs,
4:09:28
the tops of your thighs, the sides of your thighs,
4:09:34
the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs, and your
4:09:39
inner thighs, basically the whole of your thigh that leads
4:09:45
into your hip and it goes down to your knee joint. Now,
4:10:01
this is a big area. It's a very heavy area.
4:10:08
It's very strong. Probably the strongest muscles in your body
4:10:15
are in your thighs. But I don't think we perhaps
4:10:31
give enough attention to our thighs. Perhaps we don't acknowledge
4:10:45
how important our thighs are to our lives, how much
4:11:07
they actually do for us all through our lives. And
4:11:20
it may seem to sound really weird, but I think
4:11:26
that all of our body parts, especially our thighs, need
4:11:33
some TLC, a bit of love shown, a bit of acknowledgement.
4:11:50
I thank you gratitude for our thighs do for us. Yes,
4:12:06
And I know this may sound a bit strange. Maybe
4:12:12
you think, why am I Surely I should be out
4:12:15
in the garden hugging a tree or something. Well, it's
4:12:24
hard to set a microphone up on a tree. That's
4:12:27
why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be outside
4:12:29
hugging a tree. Now I can't see the television from
4:12:33
the tree. If you move down to your knees gaining
4:12:44
such an important part, and I think we don't necessarily
4:12:53
I'll speak for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate all
4:13:01
that my knees do for me until I have a
4:13:06
problem with my knee. It's occasionally, if I ever maybe
4:13:11
i'll bash it, or it's aching for some reason. It's
4:13:17
then that I realize how much it does. You know,
4:13:23
the benefit of being able to use my legs without
4:13:31
any kind of physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's
4:13:38
possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You know that's comfort.
4:13:51
But as you focus on your knees, regardless of how
4:13:55
your knees feel, you can have that sense of gratitude
4:14:04
and love to your knees for all that they do
4:14:07
for you. And you can still have that attention on
4:14:20
your thighs and maybe notice how your thighs feel. Maybe
4:14:27
you've noticed that they are relaxing more deeply as you
4:14:44
focus now on the bottoms of your legs, your shins
4:14:51
and your calf muscles and the bones between your knees.
4:14:57
And your feet. Breton. Of course, your ankles so important.
4:15:10
You know, anyone that's had even like the slightest sprain
4:15:15
of an ankle knows how how much we take our
4:15:22
ankles for granted. And it's kind of strange in a
4:15:31
way when you think that. You know, logically, our wrists
4:15:36
are a lot thinner than the rest of our arms,
4:15:40
which is okay, it doesn't I can't see any problem
4:15:44
with that because we're just picking stuff up. But our
4:15:49
ankles so much thinner than the rest of our legs,
4:16:01
and from a physics perspective or logical even it doesn't
4:16:06
really make sense that all this weight would ultimately be
4:16:13
resting on your ankles then leading to your feet, that
4:16:23
thin area, thin bone. Yeah, it does so much great work.
4:16:35
Supports us, supports our body for a lifetime, helps us
4:16:45
to balance, helps you to get around and be mobile.
4:17:00
And there's the calf muscles. Of course, when I was younger,
4:17:09
I couldn't see the point in calf muscles. I didn't
4:17:12
seem to do anything. Okay, if I walked around on tiptoes,
4:17:18
then my calf muscles get some work. But of course
4:17:22
that's not true. The calf muscles are being used whenever
4:17:26
we use her legs and your shins there to protect
4:17:40
your lower legs, shaped in a way almost as a
4:17:49
protector for the bone, leading of course to your ankles
4:18:04
and your feet. But we're not going to focus on
4:18:11
your feet. We're just going to focus on the legs.
4:18:15
And I realize that now that I've mentioned your feet,
4:18:20
it probably focusing on them anyway, So maybe I should
4:18:24
focus on your feet a little bit. You can have
4:18:31
them in your awareness the same as you have your
4:18:36
thighs in your awareness. Even though we haven't been focusing
4:18:41
on your thighs for a few minutes, we've been focusing
4:18:46
on your ankles, there's still that sensation of comfort in
4:19:02
your thighs and this that movement of energy because the
4:19:14
thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course, there's the muscles,
4:19:23
the big straw muscles that we have in our thighs,
4:19:35
but the skin on the outside of the thighs, as
4:19:41
in the outside of all of our body, can be
4:19:46
very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature, and
4:20:04
inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's the blood, vessels,
4:20:12
the arch trees, it's all this stuff that's inside your thighs,
4:20:22
and I guess sometimes it'd be nice if you could
4:20:26
actually put your fingers inside your thighs and message, so
4:20:34
you can message on the outside, of course, but to
4:20:37
be able to get deep into the muscles, and to
4:20:40
be able to just message inside your thighs, message in
4:20:46
the bones of your leg message in all the veins,
4:20:54
and just gently healing your thigh eyes, and you could
4:21:04
move down message and inside your knees, just message in
4:21:11
those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading that healing energy
4:21:19
deep into the joints of your knees. Of course, there's
4:21:29
the back of your your knee, you know, the inside
4:21:33
crease where your knee is. It's a very sensitive area.
4:21:42
Very it feels very nice when you stroke it. That
4:21:46
might be because it's an area that's not really touched
4:21:50
very often. It's almost like a hidden part, that crease
4:21:59
in your legs. It's almost like a part that has
4:22:05
a sensitivity, which is a little bit different. Of course,
4:22:16
it's protected by your legs, so you can imagine putting
4:22:28
your fingers into that crease in your legs, that folding
4:22:37
between your legs. You can just massage with your fingertips.
4:22:43
Imagine your fingertips going inside, massage in the muscle tissue.
4:22:54
You can of course feel the bones of your knees
4:23:00
healing through your fingertips. And then as you go down
4:23:13
to your calf muscles. Now that's the part I'd like
4:23:16
to be able to really put my fingertips deep inside
4:23:21
my calf muscles, massage in every single tissue of that muscle.
4:23:32
Speaker 6: Healing every part.
4:23:40
Speaker 1: And then doing the same for my shins, massage in
4:23:46
and gently stroking the bones, gently stroking them, healing in
4:23:54
a loving way, because they deserve to be treated as
4:24:01
the precious bones that they are. Because our legs are
4:24:05
so precious as in all the other parts of our body,
4:24:11
and more precious of anyture on the planet. When you
4:24:25
start to think about your legs in this way, it
4:24:38
can change your perspective. It might sound a bit a
4:24:48
bit silly to start with the idea of having love
4:24:53
for your legs, showing appreciation for your thigh, wanting to
4:25:03
be able to put your hands in your thighs and
4:25:09
massage the muscles and the bones, and to get your
4:25:15
fingers deep in there, releasing all tension, just to show
4:25:26
how much you care about your legs. How much you
4:25:33
care for what your legs do.
4:25:36
Speaker 2: For you.
4:25:38
Speaker 1: Regularly, your knees, your calves, your ankles, the strength of
4:25:50
your ankles considering how thin they are compared to the
4:25:59
rest of your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah, they're so strong,
4:26:08
so flexible, absolutely amazing things. Your ankles are truly a
4:26:22
gift because of what they do for you, supporting all
4:26:33
that weight, regardless of how what weight you are, even
4:26:40
if you're only ate stone, there's still a lot of
4:26:45
weight for these little ankles. Now I'm a lot heavier
4:26:52
than eight stone doubled out, yet my ankle support my
4:27:02
body all the time, or they do give off a
4:27:09
sigh of relief when I sit down. That's my whole
4:27:15
legs do. My feet feet also go and my toes clap.
4:27:26
They're so happy. Your legs really are amazing. And I
4:27:54
know that talking about talking about your legs is probably
4:28:01
possibly among the most most boring things I've ever heard
4:28:06
anyone say. Possibly, but boring or not, everything I said
4:28:14
is true. Your legs are amazing. Your legs deserve not
4:28:31
just respect, They deserve to relax deeply. They deserve to
4:28:50
take some time out of the day to just let
4:28:55
go completely. The legs really can relax. And because the
4:29:31
legs are so such a most, you know, very important
4:29:36
part of your body. When you relax your legs, the
4:29:41
rest of your body also naturally follows in that journey
4:29:52
of comfort. I can feel it in my hips. My
4:30:04
hips feel really loose, and also my lower back as well.
4:30:14
My lower back really feels it feels stretched, even though
4:30:20
I'm just sitting in a chair and there's no stretching
4:30:26
as far as I'm aware that I'm doing. It's almost
4:30:29
as if the muscles are just relaxed so much that
4:30:33
there is a natural stretch as the tension has reduced
4:30:41
a lot. And I'm now going to count out from
4:31:01
ten down to one, and you can continue to fill
4:31:12
wonderfully relaxed ten nine eight, seven, six, five, four three
4:31:48
two one really, So I'm just going to count down
4:32:10
from five down to one, And as I countdown, if
4:32:15
you just focus on the numbers, just the numbers counting down,
4:32:23
and notice how you feel in this moment as you
4:32:33
hear the numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers counting
4:32:40
down represent you feeling calmer, not just in your body,
4:32:50
but also relaxing your mind. Just notice how you feel.
4:33:00
There's nothing to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing
4:33:06
to think about. Starting with number five four three two one.
4:33:58
As you notice the gradual letting go the tension in
4:34:11
your body, you may also begin to notice and be
4:34:18
aware of how your mind is starting to slow down.
4:34:30
This is just a natural thing that happens. It's not
4:34:36
really a special procedure. It's just natural because as your
4:34:43
body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax, and the
4:34:49
more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes. It's
4:34:53
just a continuous circle of relaxation. And there's that calmness
4:35:05
that comes from relative quietness. You know, even even if
4:35:12
there's background sounds either your side, online, it's still going
4:35:20
to be quite calm. You know, you haven't got the
4:35:25
television on, there's no music in the background, unless you're
4:35:30
listening to the recording. With music. Of course, you're very
4:35:38
likely not going to be sitting in a room with
4:35:40
other people. Of course you might be, but generally it's
4:35:45
more ideal if you can do this on your own,
4:35:49
so no distractions, and when you stop thinking about stuff,
4:36:06
relaxation automatically rises. A sense of comfort starts to grow
4:36:21
and without trying to build it up into something fantastical
4:36:28
or something magical. This is just a natural process, something
4:36:40
that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost the sense
4:36:51
of relaxing completely happens really when you put no effort
4:36:58
into it, not something that you can really force. It's
4:37:05
something that happens naturally. And part of the process of
4:37:16
this recording and others is simply two allow you to
4:37:28
take advantage of this space this time, to just let go,
4:37:46
to just be here, to be in tune with how
4:37:55
you feel, yet with the intention of wanting to relax
4:38:08
deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending on what
4:38:20
it is that you wish for yourself in this moment.
4:38:33
As we know, relaxing is the majority of the process
4:38:42
of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep part is the
4:38:48
tiny bit of the end. The deeper relaxed you become,
4:38:59
the easier you find yourself drifting. You can also if
4:39:17
you choose stay focused on my voice and really enjoy
4:39:34
the process gradually relaxing each muscle in your body effortlessly
4:40:10
and just observing the sensation of letting go completely. This time,
4:40:38
I'm going to count from six down to one, and
4:40:47
you can notice your mind calming down more with each
4:40:57
number that you hear me say naturally, feeling calm and
4:41:11
slow and peaceful, six, five four three two one, being
4:44:10
aware of how your mind has slowed right down, sinking
4:44:26
deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind,
4:44:46
you may notice that there are some thoughts still there,
4:44:59
maybe some s dubblen thoughts that for some reason, perhaps
4:45:08
need your attention. So what you can do is send
4:45:23
love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love like
4:45:37
all petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them,
4:45:43
petals filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those
4:45:50
thoughts know that you're not abandoned in them. You just
4:45:57
need them. You require them to just calm down, slow down,
4:46:09
quiet down.
4:46:14
Speaker 12: For now.
4:46:23
Speaker 1: So as you focus on those remaining thoughts, as we
4:46:28
count down this time from seven down to one. With
4:46:33
each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness,
4:46:49
gratitude over those thoughts, which will allow help them to
4:47:00
just melt away and relax deeply. With every number, those
4:47:17
thoughts will become more and more relaxed. Starting with number
4:47:34
seven six mm.
4:48:12
Speaker 2: Five four.
4:48:52
Speaker 1: Three one, And as you now notice how relaxed your
4:50:13
feeling in your body, we're going to focus on your hands,
4:50:39
because the more relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed
4:50:45
your body and mind are. And you focus on your
4:51:06
hands and your fingers, there's nothing needed to be done.
4:51:18
There's no clenching of fists or dents in the fingers
4:51:23
or anything like that. It's just noticing and focusing on
4:51:37
your hands, noticing how they feel, because the more relaxed
4:52:05
your hands fell, the calmer your mind feels, and the
4:52:15
more comfort you feel throughout your body. You may have
4:52:39
already noticed your mind is starting to dress like since
4:53:22
just on your hands and fingers, allowing them to experience
4:53:39
a real deepening of that relaxation in your hands and fingers.
4:53:53
Speaker 5: More.
4:53:57
Speaker 1: And more relaxed. With each number from eight down to one,
4:54:21
you can almost feel that healing and relaxing energy spreading
4:54:33
into your hands and fingers, becoming year more relaxing with
4:54:52
each number you hear, going down from eight down to one,
4:55:10
drifting drifting again, starting with number eight, seven, six, five, four, three,
4:58:32
fo just being here now, nothing to think about, nothing
4:59:30
to do, nothing to say, and everything just feels calmer
4:59:45
and this is your natural state of being. This is
4:59:53
how you just normally feel when you take away all
5:00:00
of that other stuff that we add, you know, things
5:00:07
like stress and worrying and overthinking and anxiety, tension, just
5:00:23
generally thinking about stuff. When you take that away, which
5:00:29
is what we do what we do now, you're left
5:00:39
with a real sense of peacefulness which comes to you
5:00:50
very quickly, because ultimately it's just a feeling, a feeling
5:01:05
of comfort, almost as if you've gone inside yourself and
5:01:12
you've found a special place where everything is peaceful, a
5:01:27
place where you can feel relaxed and your natural sense
5:01:34
of comfort, a place where you can be you, where
5:01:45
you can accept yourself for who you are, a place
5:01:53
where you're not trying to please anybody else ever, a
5:02:03
place where you can actually not just love yourself, but
5:02:13
in some ways more importantly, you can like yourself appreciate
5:02:22
who you are. That sense of gratitude is in the
5:02:37
air all around you. That's also a place where you
5:02:50
can actually feel the healing energy soaking into your body.
5:03:05
Healing energy soaking into your body, and that healing energy
5:03:17
spreads through your veins, traveling to each and every single
5:03:27
part of your body. And you start to realize that
5:03:38
actually that healing energy, it's not just entered into your brain,
5:03:48
it's become part of your brain, and that spinal fluid
5:04:00
is now mixed with healing energy, not just allowing you
5:04:12
to feel so much more relaxed and healthy in this moment,
5:04:24
but also you start to realize that actually, what's happening
5:04:34
now with that healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body,
5:04:44
it's actually changing your life. It's actually changing the way
5:04:55
you're going to feel not just now, but tomorrow and
5:05:02
the next day. As your health improves, not just your
5:05:11
physical health, but your mental health. Things that used to
5:05:19
bother you in the past, for some reason, no longer
5:05:26
have the effect that they used to because something has
5:05:33
changed deep within you. Maybe things that used to cause
5:05:46
you to feel anger no longer have that power to
5:05:58
control you the way they seem to be able to before.
5:06:08
As you realize that you're the one who decides what
5:06:19
affects you, you're the one who decides to feel relaxed
5:06:31
and calm when you choose to enjoy noticing these natural
5:06:45
developments of healing, continuing to grow and improve your life
5:07:00
day by day, including of course, your ability to relax
5:07:12
so much easier and sleep in. It's the most natural
5:07:27
thing in the world to you, because falling asleep is
5:07:38
something that you've done so many times in your life,
5:07:49
and you know that you were born, as we all were,
5:07:54
with the ability to fall asleep naturally. We're born with
5:08:06
that ability the just drift off into a deep, healing sleep.
5:08:24
Even when we're kids, sometimes will fall asleep when we
5:08:29
don't even want to try to us stay awake. Maybe
5:08:36
it's a birthday in the morning, or it's Christmas or
5:08:40
holiday or something we look forward to. We don't want
5:08:43
to go to sleep. But the more we want to
5:08:47
stay awake, the more we just start to drift. And
5:08:57
the more you fight drifting, more we try to stop
5:09:01
yourself and drift in asleep, the deeper and stronger that
5:09:07
drifting becomes. Because we're born not just with the need
5:09:20
to relax deeply and to naturally fall asleep, but it's
5:09:28
our birthright, it's part of our DNA. And sometimes as
5:09:42
we get older in life, perhaps at times we have
5:09:48
forgotten that relaxing completely is not only a wonderfully pleasant experience,
5:10:10
it's also really easy. It's very very easy to let
5:10:28
go because that's all it is. It's just deciding to
5:10:39
let go. And when you press the play button on
5:10:50
my recordings, you have given permission for my voice to
5:10:59
rely at you. When you press that play button, you've
5:11:07
given me permission for my words to affect you in
5:11:18
a positive, only a positive way, opening up your mind
5:11:37
too useful and healing suggestions that can have such an
5:11:57
amazing effect on how you feel right now, as well
5:12:13
as those changes that continue long after the recording ends,
5:12:22
Those changes within you to continue to flourish and grow,
5:12:36
transforming your life in a positive, beautiful way, allowing you
5:12:50
to move forward in your life in the direction that
5:12:57
you choose for yourself. And this feeling, this feeling that
5:13:14
you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness, just feels so nice.
5:13:39
It's such a healthy place to be, and that positivity
5:13:54
grows within you each and every day. Moving forward, you're
5:14:13
going to find that you're more relaxed physically and in
5:14:24
your mind is more relaxed. And it's not that you're
5:14:33
thinking slower, it's just that your mind will be less
5:14:39
clogged up with unnecessary negativity because from now on, your
5:14:51
mind rejects negativity. From now on, you're going to start
5:15:01
noticing when negativity arises, and you can just say stop, stop,
5:15:20
and that negativity will turn around and leave you alone.
5:15:35
Stop and that negativity will disappear. And as you notice
5:15:54
that you feel way more relaxed than you probably expected.
5:16:09
You can now congratulate yourself because you're the person that
5:16:19
has done this. You are the one that has opened
5:16:25
your mind up to the simple facts. You can feel
5:16:34
more relaxed in your body and in your mind. You've
5:16:44
opened your mind up to the birthright of being able
5:16:50
to just fall asleep easily when you choose. And that's
5:17:07
a nice feeling. Don't you think it feels nice? Doesn't it?
5:17:17
To feel calm? All that healing energy is spreading through
5:17:24
your body and your mind to spend time in a
5:17:37
special place where negativity can no longer enter. Negativity is banned.
5:17:54
It's bad, it's not allowed. Entrigue doesn't it doesn't. This
5:18:02
doesn't deserve to be here, It doesn't belong here. Negativity
5:18:10
has no place in your life, which makes room feel
5:18:25
more comfort, more heathing, more relaxation, more peace. It feels nice,
5:18:56
doesn't it? Just the let go with everything. I'm gonna
5:19:21
count down now from twenty down to one. You can
5:19:29
continue to relax. If you choose, you can drift to
5:19:40
sleep With every number you hear me say, you can
5:19:54
fill twice as relaxed, or if you choose, you can
5:20:01
fill twice sleepy now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, mm,
5:21:00
fifteen fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five.
5:22:32
Speaker 2: Four.
5:23:05
Speaker 1: This is your time to just take a break, your
5:23:15
time to relax, to allow your mind to slow down,
5:23:35
to give yourself a permission to take a break from everything.
5:23:54
And you you're the only person that can make that decision.
5:24:01
You're the only person that can actually tell your mind
5:24:08
to just relax, to just take some time off so
5:24:33
that you can focus on your body, getting in touch
5:24:38
with how you feel physically, and in the process of
5:24:55
this body scan where you focus on dif from parts
5:25:00
of your body, those parts that you focus on and observe.
5:25:14
Even though you're not purposely requesting for those parts of
5:25:22
your body to relax, it's kind of expected. You expect
5:25:31
when you listen to my voice to feel more relaxed naturally,
5:25:45
because when you're listening to me, your attention is focused
5:25:55
on my words, and as my words guide you to
5:26:06
focus on those parts of your body, your focus increases,
5:26:26
which actually calms your mind. And when your mind calms down,
5:26:47
your body relaxes. And when your body calms down, your
5:27:09
mind relaxes. And even though we've not really started the
5:27:26
focus on your body, you can already feel that healing
5:27:39
energy spreading through your body, pushing out stress and tension,
5:27:58
healing all the parts of your body, including your skin,
5:28:06
your bones, your blood, all of your organs inside your body,
5:28:14
all of the muscles, all of the fat, all of everything,
5:28:23
every hair on your body is filled with that healing energy.
5:28:37
And when your brain it fills with that healing energy,
5:28:53
the feeling of comfort and relaxation increases, deeply increases in
5:29:17
a way that your mind starts to feel perhaps bit
5:29:32
drowsy because it's not needed, and it may start to
5:29:48
drift if that's what's needed. So if you're listening to
5:30:04
this and what you need is deep relaxation, that's what
5:30:10
you get.
5:30:12
Speaker 2: If what you need is.
5:30:15
Speaker 1: To fall asleep naturally and easily as your mind drifts,
5:30:25
that's also what will happen. Because by pressing that play
5:30:39
button on the podcast and listening to me, you give
5:30:45
permission for your body and your mind. In fact, you
5:30:57
give the command to your body and your mind to
5:31:02
relax deeply and to drift off to sleep, if that's
5:31:15
what you want.
5:31:20
Speaker 2: Or need.
5:31:28
Speaker 1: And as I focus on the different parts of your body,
5:31:39
you may start to just drift. And then you come
5:31:48
back again and you hear me talking, and I'm focusing
5:31:53
on a different part of your body, and you may
5:32:04
find yourself drifting. You don't realize you're drifting until you
5:32:13
stop drifting and you're alert again to my voice. Focusing
5:32:22
on a different part of your body starts to relax
5:32:27
even deeper, because that drifting is basically you already in
5:32:40
the sleep zone. And the more you drift, the longer
5:32:51
you drift, and the longer you drift, eventually that drifting
5:33:01
continues into sleep, and that's the last you remember until
5:33:12
you wake up in your own time, when you experience
5:33:22
the right amount of sleep for you, because when you
5:33:29
do and if you do fall asleep, it's extremely pleasant,
5:33:41
so relaxing, so deep, healing sleep. I'm going it feels
5:34:02
so nice to relax into your own body and mind
5:34:13
as you feel that heating energy is spreading through you,
5:34:22
relaxing us so deeply. Relaxing, use so.
5:34:33
Speaker 2: So deeply.
5:34:43
Speaker 1: As we start to focus on your eyes, moving down
5:35:00
to you joel down to your neck, your shoulders, arms, hands, vegus,
5:35:50
your chest, the stomach, your back, your spine, you hips,
5:36:30
your legs, your feet, your choice and feelingeeing, spreading and
5:37:14
growing inside your body, feeling you up. Now let's focus again,
5:37:31
are parts of your body? Focusing this time on your forehead.
5:37:45
Now on your mouth, your lips, your tongue, the whole
5:37:55
of your mouth. Focus in on your fingers. Maybe you
5:38:17
could move your fingers a little bit. You can focus
5:38:22
on each one individually, both hands and even though if
5:38:37
you focus on both of your hands now they almost
5:38:42
seem to just melt into one where there is your
5:38:50
right hand start in your left hand end, almost as
5:38:58
if you just mixed together. Now focusing on your knees,
5:39:15
just noticing how your knees feel. Now, focusing on your elbows,
5:39:41
focusing on both of your elbows, just observing the feeling
5:39:56
of your elbows. Now focusing absurding the back of your neck,
5:40:38
feeding the energy on the back of your neck. Observing
5:41:18
your ankles, being aware of physical sensations in your ankles,
5:42:37
noticin now your toes on both of your feet, being
5:42:57
aware now your toast fear right now, not too thin
5:43:52
high you entire body fails noticing your mind feels now
5:44:41
letting go, letting go, letting go, h everything, letting go,
5:45:22
letting go, leting go, h h everything everything. I'm at
5:45:56
the start now, and I'd like you just, first of all,
5:46:00
just to see yourself lying down on that message table,
5:46:08
lying on your front. Your head is supported, your arms
5:46:13
are supported, and you feel comfortable and breathing. It's really easy,
5:46:25
and you feel you feel confident in how you look
5:46:31
as well. So there's none of that issue of body
5:46:35
problems or shyness because I'm a professional and this is
5:46:44
a therapy session, so none of that stuff matters whatsoever.
5:46:53
This is about you. This is about how you feel
5:47:00
and how you can enjoy that sense of comfort and
5:47:07
relaxation that comes from letting go and allowing my hands,
5:47:15
that my fingers to relax you by a message your body.
5:47:28
Soone starts off just by placing my hands on the
5:47:34
back of your head, just gently, just you can feel
5:47:39
what my hands feel like really on you, so you
5:47:47
can maybe feel the warmth of my hands on the
5:47:49
back of your head, and with my hands to the
5:47:55
side of your head, not pressing, but just holding their
5:47:59
very maybe over your ears, and a little bit on
5:48:05
your face, just so you can feel my hands so
5:48:12
you can become accustomed to them. And now put my
5:48:25
hands on the back of your head again and gently
5:48:30
let them slide down onto the back of your neck.
5:48:42
You can feel my hands gently stroke in the back
5:48:52
of your neck to start with, just so you can
5:48:58
get used to the the feeling of my hands on
5:49:03
your skin, get accustomed to it. Realize that you're safe
5:49:12
and it's all good, it's all fine, And I'm going
5:49:21
to start gently massaging the muscles in the back of
5:49:25
your neck with both hands. Now, this is a very
5:49:41
trusting situation, really, because our necks are so fragile and
5:49:49
to have someone have their hands around your neck in
5:49:53
that way can sometimes be problematic for people, which is
5:49:59
why messages are quite good, because it allows you to
5:50:03
relax and to get in touch with trust, to feel
5:50:17
peaceful and calm. And there's a message the sides of
5:50:30
your neck, gently moving from the bottom of your neck,
5:50:39
it would be sort of near where your shoulders start,
5:50:42
I guess, all the way up to your jaw. Your
5:50:49
ears kind of area that side of your neck. Of course,
5:50:55
it's a lot longer than the front of your neck.
5:51:11
The message in the back of your neck, especially that
5:51:18
area where perhaps we hold tension, and as that area's message,
5:51:28
you can actually feel a sense of release in the
5:51:32
back of your neck and maybe you can breathe it
5:51:40
out as well. Notice how it feels. Notice how you feel.
5:51:56
Then moving down to that area between your neck and shoulders,
5:52:02
that musty area, starting to message that area on both sides.
5:52:13
I mean, this would be the area that a lot
5:52:15
of people would message if they were going to give you,
5:52:18
like a shoulder message. Even that's not technically the shoulders,
5:52:24
but it's all the muscles that lead to the shoulders
5:52:29
from the neck and again that can hold tension and stress.
5:52:36
And when massaged sometimes a nice deep message is useful,
5:52:44
and you decide how deep that message is, and just
5:53:00
allow my knuckles just to dig in to get to
5:53:07
those muscles and to really relaxed all the time being
5:53:17
firm yet gentle with you and just stroking down the
5:53:35
area to your actual shoulders, moving to the muscles of
5:53:44
your shoulders and maybe initially just pulling up the shoulders
5:53:55
a little bit off the table, just to give you
5:53:58
a little bit of a stresh, but very gently. And
5:54:09
you've got the muscles at the front of your shoulders
5:54:12
the sides of the back. Again, this is a part
5:54:23
that can really take quite a bit of pressure, quite
5:54:29
a bit of needing. If if you wish to really
5:54:39
release the tension to really get into those muscles, and
5:54:47
you can let your fingers in there. They can feel
5:54:51
really nice. Sometimes just being stroked gently or being massaged
5:55:01
quite strongly, it can all be beneficial to the relaxation
5:55:14
with the muscles in your shoulders. Now to move down
5:55:27
your arms, we do one arm at a time, Starting
5:55:38
with your right arm. What idea is I just lift
5:55:49
your arm up, just hold it to the side of
5:55:52
you that way it still be attached, and I just
5:55:59
mess up much the tops of your arms all the
5:56:13
way down to your forearms, into your wrists, gently massaging
5:56:38
that parts, the softer part which is the under part
5:56:44
of the arm, which leads to the crease in your elbow,
5:56:51
the inside. It's much more sensitive skin. Sometimes just having
5:57:06
that stroked I feel really nice, pleasurable and relaxing. Now
5:57:25
moving down to your right hand, just holding your hand
5:57:39
in both of my hands, just pressing gently on the
5:57:49
back of your hand and stretching your fingers ever so
5:57:56
lightly at the same time, pressing down and massaging each finger,
5:58:15
and then starting to massage the palms of the hand.
5:58:26
Just turning the hand gently, stretching it gently, and actually
5:58:37
having your hand held can really be an emotional experience
5:58:44
sometimes even if it is a stranger, So when you
5:58:50
don't know very well, like a massage person or a therapist,
5:58:56
maybe because it's intimate and you can feel nice, you
5:59:11
can feel safe. And as I put that right arm
5:59:21
back down where it was, we did the same with
5:59:30
your left arm, exactly the same. Massage in the muscles
5:59:43
in your arm all the way down. Do you rest,
5:59:51
stroking the inside of your arm, just being gentle or
6:00:01
as firm as you require, and then massaging your left hand,
6:00:21
stretching the fingers gently, massaging the palm of your left hand.
6:00:43
You can feel so so relaxing, so comforting, and just
6:01:12
rest your left down back down. Start to massage your back,
6:01:26
the biggest part of your body, starting at the top,
6:01:38
starting again where we already have been, the area at
6:01:42
the top in between your shoulders and near your neck.
6:01:48
Going back a message in that area again, but this
6:01:53
time moving downwards, taking a downward stroke to the middle
6:02:06
of your back, working from the outside inwards. It's a
6:02:14
massage in the your back, but the outsides of your back,
6:02:26
the parts where your arms would maybe rest against, almost
6:02:42
the part that connects your front to your back, and
6:02:54
just massaging down firmly but gently, as firm as you want,
6:03:06
moving down, and then moving across a little bit, and
6:03:10
moving all the way down again, being very gentle yet
6:03:16
firm as you choose. Eventually we get to the spine.
6:03:29
We can message the muscles and either side of your
6:03:32
spine from the top of your neck all the way
6:03:36
down to your lower back. We can do that a
6:03:48
few times. Sometimes people use the knuckle or the you know,
6:03:59
two fingers and just go your side of the spine
6:04:04
almost just push down, go all the way down to
6:04:08
the bottom of the spine, each time releasing tension and
6:04:17
opening up the body, stretching your body so that you
6:04:26
feel more relaxed but at the same time rejuvenated. And
6:04:44
now I'm going to move to one side, to your
6:04:48
right side, and from the bottom of your ribs to
6:04:57
your pelvis, I'm going to mess up mug that area
6:05:02
of your back. I'll stretch over the other side and
6:05:07
I will pull the muscles gently and massage and push
6:05:14
from one end that side or way to my side
6:05:19
to the middle of fact to where your spine is.
6:05:23
Massaging that side of your spine the opposite side to
6:05:29
where I'm standing. It's almost like kneading bread. There's that
6:05:37
big area which is firm yet lots there to message.
6:05:49
Potentially one of the most important places to actually have
6:05:54
a message because you feel it. You really feel the
6:06:02
release and the pleasure of having your lower back massaged.
6:06:10
It releases so much from your body that's not useful,
6:06:19
starting a healing process which will continue long after this
6:06:25
recording is over. The message in this part of your
6:06:37
body not only feels really good for you, it's actually
6:06:42
fun to do because it is, as I said, like
6:06:47
kneading bread. It's a part that you can really get
6:06:52
hold of and really massage deeply. If that's your choice,
6:07:07
then I'm going to move over to the other side
6:07:09
of your body and do the same with the opposite
6:07:16
part of your lawer back, kneading and messaging from your
6:07:25
sides all way to the middle of your back where
6:07:33
your spine is pressing and kneading, firm and gentle at
6:07:46
the same time. It feels so releasing this mixture of pleasure, comfort, release, y, calmness,
6:08:02
relaxation or mixed together. Plus there's that feeling from your
6:08:14
stomach as it's being stretched. Even though you're in your
6:08:19
stomach now, you can feel it being stretched because that
6:08:23
whole area is connected to your stomach. Now we're going
6:08:35
to move or move further up to your top of
6:08:40
your body, and we did the same this time, starting
6:08:48
with your upper back. Put my hands forward over and
6:08:54
messing massage in that area up to your spine, from
6:09:01
the side of your body up to your spine. So
6:09:06
some of that massage area, that muscle tissue or whatever
6:09:12
fatty tissue even will be possibly from your chest because
6:09:18
all connected chest and the back connect together. I'm going
6:09:25
to be massaging and just pulling some of that skin
6:09:30
from your side up and massaging that area of your
6:09:40
upper back all the way to your spine. And then
6:09:48
I'll move down a bit and I'll continue with the
6:09:51
middle of your back, doing exactly the same thing as
6:09:58
gentle or as deep you choose. Now I'll move the
6:10:12
other side again and do the exact same thing with
6:10:17
the top of your back on the other side, from
6:10:26
pretty much underneath your arm area really to your spine,
6:10:40
and then continue in that all the way down, including
6:10:47
the lower your middle of your back. I'm gonna go
6:11:04
to your thighs, the backs of your thighs, and the
6:11:11
sides of your thighs, starting with your right leg, and
6:11:20
massage in the back and the sides of your thighs
6:11:30
gently and firmly. There's a lot of muscles there. It's
6:11:36
an area that can be very tense at times and
6:11:40
maybe needs a little bit more pressure than the rest
6:11:43
of the body. That's up to you, and you can
6:11:51
gently stroke the back of your legs where you know,
6:11:58
opposite your knee joint or underneath your knee joint, very sensitive,
6:12:05
gentle area. And then working down to your calf muscles.
6:12:20
Massage in your calf muscles thoroughly and deeply, if you choose,
6:12:30
using both hands and fingers, digging deep to your ankles,
6:12:49
in the back of your back of your ankles, just
6:12:55
gently massage in that area, maybe lifting the leg and
6:13:08
stretching a little bit. Moving to the right foot, massage
6:13:31
in the bottom of your feet and the side of
6:13:40
your feet gently but firm enough so they don't tickle,
6:13:57
and just allow the pleasure that you get from heaving
6:14:02
your feet massage to just overtake you. As I continue
6:14:12
to message your feet, the bottoms of your feet, the sides,
6:14:21
your arches, your heel. You can put a lot of
6:14:27
pressure into your heel and it feels amazing, Yet the
6:14:33
arches need to be a bit more gentle. Stretching your
6:14:41
toes gently, the message in the bottoms of your toes
6:14:48
with my fingers, each one individually, moving her to the
6:15:04
left leg to do exactly the same thing. Starting at
6:15:13
the top of the thighs, work in the back of
6:15:18
the thighs and the sides, massaging deeply and gently the
6:15:26
whole area, working all the way down. And this is
6:15:40
an area that maybe you could like to spend more
6:15:46
time relaxing and messaging. So perhaps if you wanted, like
6:15:55
a bigger future recording wants, spend more time on one
6:16:00
particular area. As you move down to your calf muscles,
6:16:18
Massage in your calf muscles, firmly and gently, moving down
6:16:34
your ain coord into your feet, Massage in the backs
6:16:40
of your feet, the bottoms of your feet, stretching your
6:16:50
toes and massage in each tone individually. And the feeling
6:16:57
of pleasure and least that you experience when your having
6:17:03
your feet massaged feels really good. Now, if you turn
6:17:24
over in your mind, laying on your back, I'm just
6:17:36
gonna start again for your neck area, in your shoulders,
6:17:53
just to get back in touch with that area. And
6:18:03
as you move up, I can clean my hands, make
6:18:15
them more fresh, because now I'm going to massage your
6:18:19
face gently, starting off with your forehead. Your eyes are
6:18:35
closed and I can just stretch your eyes a little bit,
6:18:42
pushing up on your eyebrows, just massaging around, just scalp,
6:18:59
massaging down your cheeks, around your ears, into your jaw,
6:19:09
gently the side of your neck, your chin.
6:19:28
Speaker 2: M hm.
6:19:32
Speaker 1: And just moving down from your neck down to your chest,
6:19:43
starting by massage in the very top of your chest
6:19:51
where the collar bone is, either side of the collarbone.
6:20:05
Then just message in the whole of the chest, moving
6:20:18
the chest around, because it's quite a large area. You
6:20:31
can move from one side to the next, moving my
6:20:39
hands underneath pretty much where your arms are stretching up,
6:20:52
stretching some of the muscles of your back in the process,
6:21:01
moving up over your chest and they're moving down again,
6:21:22
and then allow my hands to just massage gently and
6:21:27
slide down towards your stomach, starting in the middle of
6:21:34
your chest, and then gradually my hands moving apart and
6:21:44
massage in and slide in at the same time, moving
6:21:49
down to just below your red cage, moving down the
6:22:08
messaging up again, giving your chest all the attention that
6:22:18
it needs to feel completely relaxed, remembering that I'm also
6:22:32
going to be focusing on your sides as well, an
6:22:38
area that really doesn't get much attention but feels really
6:22:44
good when it's massaged. Just stroking my hands down the
6:22:54
sides of your body, just below your arms, all the
6:23:01
way down to your hips. Now move into your stomach area.
6:23:17
I'm going to stand one side of you like I
6:23:20
did when I did your lower back. We're gonna do
6:23:25
a similar process of just stretching the muscles from the side,
6:23:34
gently massaging from one side to the next, move in.
6:23:49
Speaker 12: A whole area from below your ribs all the way
6:23:53
down to below your belly button, and then move.
6:24:04
Speaker 1: Around to the other side of you and repeat that
6:24:14
process of relaxing, deeply, calmly, feel loose, You feel free,
6:24:30
And it's something about having your stomach message that's different
6:24:35
from any other part because we do have a tendency
6:24:42
of holding a different kind of stress in our stomach
6:24:48
that we may not be aware of. As I now
6:24:56
message your stomach onto your stomach, they can circles around
6:25:06
your belly button and then go in the other way around.
6:25:21
There's a gentleness and a freedom that comes from feeling
6:25:27
how you're feeling as a now move down the tops
6:25:38
of your thighs, the muscles, massaging them, and I can
6:25:45
do this two legs at the same time, pressing down,
6:25:53
messaging deeply those muscles in your thighs, the front of
6:26:00
your thighs, and moving down to your knees, gently massaging
6:26:11
your knees, sliding down your shins, putting pressure on either
6:26:22
side of your shin gently softly but firmly, moving down
6:26:35
to your ankles, stroking the tops of your feet, and
6:26:50
then with each foot in each hand, just gently massaging
6:26:56
the whole of the foot, the top, the bottom, your heel,
6:27:05
your ankle, your toes, message in every part of your
6:27:13
feet feels so good. Just let go and enjoy the process.
6:27:30
Enjoy feeling so deeply relaxed, so much comfort, and so
6:27:49
many feelings come just from touching your skin, and you
6:28:06
can just lie there for as long as you choose
6:28:16
enjoying the feeling of deep comfort and being massaged by me.
6:28:35
Enjoy feeling deeply rax And all we're gonna do is
6:29:00
blow out some candles.
6:29:04
Speaker 13: In your mind, there are going to be a hundred candles,
6:29:27
and you're going to blow each one out individually, one
6:29:33
by one, starting at one hundred.
6:29:39
Speaker 1: As I count down all the way down to one,
6:29:51
and each time I say a number, you can that
6:30:00
candle in front of you, and I'd like you to
6:30:07
actually physically generally blow that candle out, just so it's
6:30:26
not big blows, just a gentle, and that candle will extinguish.
6:30:42
And then I'll say the next number to move down,
6:30:50
and you can just blow that one out as well.
6:31:02
And as we move down the numbers, you'll find yourself
6:31:12
feeling more and more relaxed. If you need to sleep,
6:31:22
you'll also find yourself becoming incredibly tired and sleepy. In fact,
6:31:34
you may struggle to blow out all one hundred of
6:31:44
these candles as you feel more and more deeply relaxed,
6:32:09
more more deep tired, and the further you go down.
6:32:30
Speaker 2: The more.
6:32:32
Speaker 1: Your mind starts to drift. You may find that you
6:32:46
stop listening to me after a while. And even though
6:32:59
they me be background sounds where you are, you'll be
6:33:08
aware of those sounds at the moment, be me start
6:33:23
to just not even notice them at all, because they're unimportant.
6:33:47
Where I am. I've got the sounds of the birds,
6:33:54
there's horrors, the pigeon who likes to say hello sometimes,
6:34:02
and there's the odd plane that goes by, maybe traffic
6:34:11
and trains in the distance, But none of that seems
6:34:22
important whatsoever. More candles you blow out, the less important anything.
6:34:40
Speaker 2: Is.
6:34:45
Speaker 1: More candles you blow out, the further you seem to
6:34:56
move away from sounds and from general date days. Stuff
6:35:16
seems to just move away on its own. You feel
6:35:30
more calmer with every candle you blow out, guiding you
6:35:54
the next number, do you hear me say? And then
6:36:07
you blow that candle out to So easy, so simple.
6:36:34
We're gonna start by introducing the first candle, which is
6:36:49
a hundred. First candles, one hundred. When you blow that
6:37:08
candle out, you'll find immediately a slight change in how
6:37:27
you feel, as well as a real sense of positivity
6:37:40
growing within you. Relaxation and sleepiness expanding starting with one
6:38:14
hundred flow out by candle now ninety nine, candle ninety

7:32:44
can do four doy seven two.
7:35:00
Speaker 2: H can.
7:35:41
Speaker 1: Or lego. All of those thoughts, worries, concerns about the past,
7:35:57
thoughts about the future, and even things you've been thinking
7:36:01
about today, just let it all go because none of
7:36:09
it is useful in this moment. This is your opportunity
7:36:24
to just focus on feeling relaxed, allowing yourself to get
7:36:38
in touch with that natural sense of peace that we
7:36:48
all have within us. It's available for everyone it just
7:36:55
sometimes takes a little bit of effort to set up
7:37:00
up the right time and place in order for you
7:37:06
to just let go. Because when you do decide to
7:37:15
let go and relax, that's what your body starts to
7:37:20
do because you've chosen, You've chosen to just allow your
7:37:31
body to unwind and your mind starts to slow down.
7:37:40
And it's a nice feeling. It's a nice feeling at
7:37:44
the beginning, just to know that you have chosen to
7:37:50
decide to relax deeply, and because you've made that decision,
7:38:01
your body or just follow suit, because sometimes all the
7:38:08
muscles in your body need is just permission from you
7:38:14
to relax. Because so often we're busy, we're going from
7:38:23
here to there, we're walking around and we're doing stuff,
7:38:29
and the body doesn't have any time or space to
7:38:35
really relax deeply. So it kind of waits for you
7:38:43
to lead the way, waits for your permission. And when
7:38:52
you do give your permission, when you give the say
7:38:59
so we need, say okay, it's time for your body
7:39:07
to let go completely and relax totally, your body just follows.
7:39:19
It's like a breath of relief. Ah, good, I can
7:39:24
now relax that feeling at the end of a day,
7:39:31
of a very physical day that you may experience in
7:39:35
the past. But you get home and you just sit
7:39:39
down on a chair, maybe you kick your shoes off
7:39:43
and not ah, feels so nice knowing that you don't
7:39:49
have to get up again for a little while at
7:39:53
least if you choose, You can just sit there for
7:39:57
maybe an hour to and it feels blissful. And just
7:40:09
by sitting down like that, your body knows that it's
7:40:14
time to relax. Your body has been given permission from you.
7:40:22
Because it's a mindset in your mind, you're prepared to
7:40:33
let go of everything and just completely allow all the
7:40:43
stress of your body to evaporate. Any tensions can just
7:40:52
gradually vanish. It's almost like magic, really, because that sense
7:41:11
of relaxation in your body, it's a very natural state.
7:41:20
It's not something unusual. It may feel unusual when you
7:41:24
first start to relax, if you if you haven't really
7:41:29
spent a lot of time focusing and giving yourself this
7:41:33
space to let go completely and relax, they seem are
7:41:38
most alien, but it isn't. It's actually the most natural
7:41:47
thing in the world to let go completely, to relax totally.
7:41:57
The most natural thing in the world to allow yourself.
7:42:08
Speaker 14: To feel.
7:42:11
Speaker 1: Really calm in your mind, and it is almost like
7:42:17
a literal unwinding. It's like you press a button and
7:42:27
all the tension just releases, and it's like a wheel,
7:42:34
like a cog, like the inside of a clock, just unwinding.
7:42:38
And it's almost like you could see the little wind
7:42:43
up knob that's used just going the opposite way that
7:42:48
you choose to wind it up, and the energy that
7:42:55
fremetic stress for energy gradually winding down, losing its power,
7:43:06
losing its strength as a sense of relaxation becomes stronger
7:43:15
and deeper, and you may find a the more relaxed
7:43:26
you feel, that your mind starts to wonder, maybe seemed
7:43:37
to stop listening to me for a while, and your
7:43:41
mind goes somewhere else, and then you realize you're listening
7:43:47
to me again, and that was just your mind drifting
7:43:53
to sleep, which is quite natural, because sometimes when we're
7:44:05
stressed and tense, we're not may not actually be aware
7:44:11
of what we need, what we physically or emotionally need
7:44:18
in this moment. But when you allow your body and
7:44:26
mind to relax completely and you let go of all
7:44:32
thoughts concerns, worries, ideas all letting them go allow them
7:44:41
to drop onto the floor. When you start to get
7:44:51
in touch with the feelings of such relaxation, this feels
7:45:03
so nice to be in touch with the calmness of
7:45:11
the different body parts as they become looser and looser.
7:45:24
Even your breathing seems easier and more natural, effortless, as
7:45:36
that cool enters through your mouth or nose into your lungs,
7:45:45
breathing in comforts and relaxation, and in just breathing out
7:45:53
any excess remain intentional stress from every part of your body.
7:46:04
Speaker 2: And mind.
7:46:08
Speaker 1: And as you start to focus on your mind, maybe
7:46:14
you notice that things have come to a standstill or
7:46:21
maybe just much much lower than before, because your mind
7:46:30
is not really needed when listening to my voice, which
7:46:41
allows your mind to relax just as deeply as your body.
7:46:50
And that's synchronicity between the relaxation of your body relaxation
7:47:03
of your mind.
7:47:06
Speaker 15: Let you know that.
7:47:10
Speaker 1: Feeling completely calm, loose, and relaxed really is a great
7:47:23
healing experience fear.
7:47:30
Speaker 5: And has.
7:47:35
Speaker 1: So many positive benefits for your body, mind, and your life.
7:47:46
To be able to let go everything and to relax
7:47:54
completely in all parts of your body and mind. Even
7:48:05
your bones as are rexed, all your muscles are relaxed,
7:48:20
even the skin that covers your body is relaxed. Every hair.
7:48:37
Speaker 2: That you have.
7:48:39
Speaker 1: It is also deeply relaxed, and your brain really starts
7:48:57
to feel the benefits.
7:49:00
Speaker 2: But this.
7:49:02
Speaker 1: Healing relaxation, and as you focus on the inside of
7:49:15
your scalp where your brain is, you can start to
7:49:21
realize and notice the benefits of your brain relaxing deeply.
7:49:35
And then as your brain continues to relax sends those
7:49:44
messages to the rest of your body and your mind
7:49:54
to re reax more deeply, relaxy more completely, letting go
7:50:17
of any remaining thoughts or concens allow them just to
7:50:30
drop onto the floor because they're no longer necessary in
7:50:38
this moment, In this moment of deep relaxation and calmness,
7:50:51
filling your brain with deep, constant rated heathing, calming, relaxing, every.
7:51:18
Speaker 2: Part of your brain.
7:51:24
Speaker 1: Feething so loose and comfortable, so relaxed and peaceful. Your
7:51:44
brain feels so light, that's so healthy, in that sense
7:51:56
of deep, deep come that really does allow you to
7:52:10
enjoy those ever increase in sensations of comfort that is
7:52:21

7:55:50
Speaker 2: So they feel.
7:55:54
Speaker 1: Amazing, so relaxed, so peaceful, so and peaceful, letting go
7:56:23
every You're going to do a body scan, focusing on
7:56:34
firstly how you feel in your body, not trying to
7:56:39
change how you feel, not trying to relax, not trying
7:56:46
to move away from any discomfort or stress or tension.
7:56:52
Just accepting, observing and accepting how you feel in the
7:56:59
different parts of your body, Just allowing yourself to be
7:57:06
exactly as you are, to notice to get in touch
7:57:18
with how you actually feel in this moment. I'm going
7:57:25
to start off by focusing on your hands. Just be
7:57:36
aware of your hands. I'd like you to move your
7:57:44
hands around, just maybe move your fingers a little bit.
7:57:52
I've been and closing your hands very gently, just so
7:57:58
that you can get in touch with how your hands
7:58:06
and your fingers fell, very very slow movements. Focusing now
7:58:27
on your feet, and if you can just do kind
7:58:34
of an equivalent with your feet is you've just done
7:58:39
with your hands, Maybe turn in your ankles, moving your
7:58:47
feet around, moving your toes gently only very gently, very slowly,
7:59:04
noticing how your feet feel in this moment. Focusing now
7:59:19
and your eyes, and I like you to just focus
7:59:26
on your eyelids. Maybe you can open and close your
7:59:32
eyes a couple of times to really get in touch
7:59:37
with how you feel when you do close your eyes.
7:59:42
The muscle changes in your eyes when you do close them,
7:59:52
maybe raising your eyebrows. It stretches the tops of your eyes,
8:00:01
perhaps squinting your eyes, scrunching up your eyes, just so
8:00:10
you can really again touch.
8:00:16
Speaker 2: With all aspects of.
8:00:19
Speaker 1: How your eyes feel. Right now, now focus in on
8:00:38
your thighs, and it just starts you to gently tense
8:00:44
your thighs, just very very gently, just enough so you
8:00:54
can become more atchune to the physical sensation of your
8:01:08
upper legs, the front of your thighs, and the backs
8:01:14
of your thine noticing and observing how your thighs feel
8:01:29
right now, moving your focus to the back of your neck,
8:01:46
just noticing the back of your neck, the muscles, and
8:01:53
of course they lead to the side.
8:01:55
Speaker 2: Of your neck.
8:01:57
Speaker 1: They also lead to the top of your back, which
8:02:02
leads to your shoulders. So as your focus on the
8:02:08
back of your neck, maybe you can move your head
8:02:15
gently upwards, as if you're looking up. Maybe moving your
8:02:22
head down as if you were looking down. Perhaps moving
8:02:30
your head side to side, right to left, pony very
8:02:40
slowly and very gently. I'm not trying to force anything.
8:02:51
Speaker 2: It has to be very.
8:02:54
Speaker 1: Very gentle, just so you.
8:03:00
Speaker 2: Can be more.
8:03:05
Speaker 1: In touch with the feelings, with the sensations, the physical
8:03:16
sensations of how the back of your neck feels. Right now,
8:03:33
as we now focus on the tops of your arms,
8:03:43
the parts where your biceps and your triceps are between
8:03:48
your elbow and your shoulders. To focus on those parts
8:03:57
the tops of your arms, you may like to just
8:04:03
tense them, but very very gently and slowly. See you're
8:04:14
not straining or putting any pressure whatsoever.
8:04:23
Speaker 2: On your arms. It's just so that you can.
8:04:32
Speaker 1: Gain more of a sense of how your upper arms
8:04:40
are feeling in this moment, and just noticing as you gently,
8:04:54
very gently and slowly tighten the muscles and then let go.
8:05:08
Notice how the tops of your arms feel.
8:05:16
Speaker 2: Right now.
8:05:25
Speaker 1: As a now focus on your stomach, the area the
8:05:36
lower abdomen area below your belly button, moving all the
8:05:42
way down to your hips, just above your grind. Maybe
8:05:56
you're able to tense these bustles in the area very
8:06:06
very gently and slowly. If that's a difficult thing to do,
8:06:21
maybe you can just move your body, pushing your stomach up,
8:06:31
maybe moving a little bit to the side using your hips,
8:06:37
just so you can get more in tune with how
8:06:46
you're lower up to an area is feeling.
8:06:57
Speaker 2: In this moment.
8:07:05
Speaker 1: Just noticing the physical sensations or your lower abdomen.
8:07:27
Speaker 2: As you move your attention.
8:07:33
Speaker 1: To your mouth, notice in your lips and inside your mouth,
8:07:47
the teeth, your guns, your tongue. Just noticing how your
8:08:04
tongue in your mouth feels. It may help by moving
8:08:14
your tongue around your mouth, moving it to your left,
8:08:22
maybe pressing it gently against the side of your mouth,
8:08:29
and then to the right gently to decide of your mouth,
8:08:38
perhaps pressing up against the top of your mouth and
8:08:44
then down gently against the bottom of your mouth, allys
8:08:53
very slowly in a very very gentle.
8:09:08
Speaker 2: So that you can.
8:09:13
Speaker 1: Be aware of how you feel in your mouth area
8:09:36
now and to focus on your wrists, and I'll ask
8:09:57
you to maybe just routine your wrists by moving your
8:10:06
hands in a circular motion very gently and slowly, just.
8:10:20
Speaker 5: So that you can.
8:10:27
Speaker 1: Feel the sensations that you are currently experiencing in your wrists.
8:10:51
Perhaps move in your hands.
8:10:55
Speaker 2: Up and down.
8:10:59
Speaker 1: Again very very gently and slowly, very gentzl.
8:11:25
Speaker 2: And slow as you now.
8:11:43
Speaker 1: Start to observe you lower back. The bay part is
8:11:59
just the bum of your hips where your coxis are
8:12:15
a whole area which also really does include the side
8:12:22
of your body because those muscles are very much connected
8:12:33
there's those muscles also move into your hip area connecting
8:12:40
to your buttocks the sides of your hips, and if
8:12:55
you're physically able to do so, maybe eating very gently,
8:13:07
just movebody ever so slightly, very slowly some side to
8:13:21
side just enough ye gauge.
8:13:37
Speaker 2: How you feel in your lower back.
8:13:50
Speaker 1: Perhaps you could even move your hips gently down, gently,
8:14:06
slowly in order to.
8:14:15
Speaker 5: Be in touch.
8:14:19
Speaker 1: With the physical sensations of your law back. As we
8:14:42
now live, your attention to your jewel, that area for
8:14:58
your chin, all the way out to near where your
8:15:04
ears are.
8:15:08
Speaker 2: Of your jaw, you can just yeah, it's okay to
8:15:23
do so.
8:15:26
Speaker 1: Gently open your mouth, not wide, no stretching, just very
8:15:37
gently and slowly opening your mouthing, closing your mouth very
8:15:52
gently and slowly.
8:16:06
Speaker 2: Se can be in touch.
8:16:18
Speaker 1: With how you jure feels.
8:16:23
Speaker 2: Now I sit now.
8:16:54
Speaker 1: The chest area. You don't need to do anything to
8:17:09
move your chest because it moves every time you breathe.
8:17:21
It moves very gently and slowly automatically with each breath
8:17:36
you tache. As you focus on how your chest feels
8:18:01
when you pray, move in your focus to your forearms,
8:18:38
your elbows. Maybe you're able to very gently that's slowly
8:18:57
tense the muscles in your forms, and when you do that,
8:19:06
you can feel your elbows as well, very gently and slowly, gently.
8:19:42
Speaker 2: And softly am sad.
8:19:53
Speaker 1: Your forearms and elbows, HM. No. Focus the rest of
8:20:27
your back, your upper back in the middle, the middle
8:20:41
of your back. Again, this part of your body m M.
8:21:00
Is also every time you breed. You may not notice that.
8:21:14
Usually these you observe your upper back in the middle
8:21:26
of your back. You can really feel that gentle and slow.
8:21:50
Speaker 15: Movement moving your focus into your.
8:22:32
Speaker 1: Area of buttex the gray, there's muscles and those bones
8:22:47
in your midsection. Just noticing how your hips.
8:23:24
Speaker 17: Feel.
8:23:27
Speaker 1: Right now, you can very very gently move your hips,
8:23:50
maybe side to side, very gently.
8:23:55
Speaker 18: And yeah, softly.
8:24:37
Speaker 1: M Everything starts to slow down, including the thoughts in
8:25:01
your mind and your mind itself just starts to gradually.
8:25:13
It doesn't have to be instant, but just gradually starting too.
8:25:21
It's almost like time is storing Chin. It's a slower
8:25:30
pace to maybe what you're used to in your day
8:25:37
to day life. It's a slower movement of energy, the
8:26:04
small movements which make up the larger movements, which is
8:26:12
always the case. Now, when you move your hand, it
8:26:20
might seem like it's one movement, but it's lots of
8:26:24
minute different muscles moving in accordance with each other. And
8:26:36
what happens in this space that we're sharing is.
8:26:48
Speaker 2: We move from.
8:26:52
Speaker 1: That big movement into those smaller movements, starting to focus
8:27:11
on how your body feels, not just as a whole,
8:27:22
not just oh, i'm feel in this way. I'm feeling
8:27:27
stressed or tense, or I'm feeling relaxed and calm. I'm
8:27:33
feeling this way, I'm feeling that way. Starting to notice
8:27:40
that your body begins to present to you small feelings
8:27:54
around your body, small physical sensations in your legs, whether
8:28:11
pleasurable or not. Maybe resisting the temptation to label them
8:28:27
or to judge them, those feelings, just thinking them, thinking
8:28:35
about them is just being neutral, just feelings, not being
8:28:49
particularly concerned, but just noticing what your body is telling you,
8:29:07
the feelings in your arms, instead of feeling the whole
8:29:14
of the arm. Maybe you notice those individual feelings, all
8:29:23
those different muscles and the skin, the hairs of your arms,
8:29:37
all the internal parts of your arms, the veins, the bones,
8:29:54
just being aware of Maybe your elbow on your right
8:30:00
arm has a certain feeling. Maybe your left wrist also
8:30:11
has its own individual physical sensation.
8:30:33
Speaker 19: What about your forearm on your right arm, your right forearm,
8:30:47
there may not be any.
8:30:49
Speaker 1: Particular feeling that you could even give a name to,
8:31:00
may not feel like anything other than just a feeling,
8:31:05
you know, it's there. The feelings in your shoulders, perhaps
8:31:17
your shoulders when you think about them, kind of almost
8:31:21
like they're the same, you know, the same feeling, almost
8:31:28
like you both of your shoulders are just one thing.
8:31:32
Of course they're not. And when you focus on your
8:31:44
left shoulder and then on your right shoulder, maybe find
8:31:52
that you move the muscles a little bit, maybe tense
8:31:57
the muscles gently, noticing the difference in each shoulder. Your
8:32:23
lower back, the left side of your lower back and
8:32:40
the right side of your lower back of course that
8:32:51
connection to your buttocks and to your hips, and also
8:33:03
moving up into the middle of your back. And sometimes
8:33:17
like right now, actually when I focus on their part,
8:33:22
when I focused on my buttocks and then I focused
8:33:27
on the middle of my back, it almost felt like
8:33:31
the muscles in my lower back were being stretched very gently,
8:33:41
just stretched a little bit. Even though I wasn't doing
8:33:46
anything to try to stretch your lower back, it just
8:33:55
seemed to happen. The feeling of very gently stretching your
8:34:07
lower back comes along. I have feeling in your chest,
8:34:34
just noticing what sensations you are experiencing in your chest
8:34:48
right now, and there's so much of the chest. Obviously,
8:35:04
there's the collar bone leading to the chest. You've got
8:35:08
the chest bone, You've got the muscles in your chest.
8:35:19
Of course, if you're female, there's possibly the breasts. Your male.
8:35:28
Speaker 2: You've got the.
8:35:31
Speaker 1: Different well why not that different these days.
8:35:34
Speaker 2: But there may be more.
8:35:39
Speaker 1: Muscles at the top of the chest, but at the
8:35:46
side underneath, it's pretty much the same. Whether you're a
8:35:51
man or a woman. There's muscles there, muscles that stretch
8:35:56
out to your back. Well, there's breast tissue stretches and
8:36:02
moves into your back. To just being aware of your chest,
8:36:19
being with whatever feeling there is in your chest. Well,
8:36:46
I noticed I focus on my chest, I feel it
8:36:54
in my back and my upper back. I mean, I
8:36:59
guess the obvious reason would be because you know, I'll
8:37:02
breathe in.
8:37:08
Speaker 2: In then it stretches my chest and my back at
8:37:13
the same time.
8:37:22
Speaker 1: It feels it feels okay, it doesn't feel I got
8:37:37
a little bit of pain in my right chest, a
8:37:44
little bit not pain, but a little discomfort, maybe stiffness possibly,
8:37:50
I don't know. I notice my shoulders also wanting to
8:38:02
flex for some reason. I think that's probably part of
8:38:07
my upper back that connection between my shoulders and my
8:38:15
other back. Because I can move my shoulders and stretch
8:38:21
the muscles in my back, moving the shoulders backwards or up,
8:38:30
which then moves I think it's the scapulous.
8:38:36
Speaker 2: In your back. It feels quite nice. Actually, a good
8:38:54
thing about this is you can, if you want to.
8:38:58
Speaker 15: You can just.
8:39:03
Speaker 1: Flex or stimulate the various muscles in your body gently
8:39:16
in order to get more of the sense of how
8:39:20
they feel. And when you're relaxing and you do tense
8:39:35
and muscle and you let it go and you let
8:39:39
it relax, it relaxes way more than they would normally.
8:39:53
Speaker 2: And you have to feel.
8:39:57
Speaker 1: That you're able to do that. There's no point of
8:40:00
doing it if there's an issue with the per part
8:40:06
of your body. You need to be gentle with yourself
8:40:15
at all times when relaxing deeply. It's important to be
8:40:29
kind to yourself. As you notice your mind. How much
8:40:46
has your mind slowed down since we started this recording?
8:41:10
How came and peaceful is your mind right now with
8:41:26
nothing to think about and just my voice to listen to,
8:41:36
Because you know the intention behind this recording is relaxation.
8:41:47
At the very least for you to feel more relaxed
8:41:53
at the end of recording than you did at the beginning,
8:42:02
at the very least, with your mind to slow down
8:42:14
because your body continues to relax, because that's.
8:42:26
Speaker 5: What you.
8:42:28
Speaker 1: Want to happen. That's what you expect to happen, for relaxation,
8:42:52
to fill your body, maybe calm in your mind to
8:43:08
the point of boredom. When you start maybe to drift away.
8:43:56
It's warmost as if you're moving further away from a
8:44:06
body in your mind, just leaving that there, kind of
8:44:19
liking it. An escape pod and the spaceship a movie,
8:44:25
a space movie, you know when it gets a little
8:44:28
part in it since the man far away from the
8:44:34
spaceship save to dream and continue to relax, terrifting so
8:45:43
slow and be so, I love mo be so, and
8:46:50
focusing on that feeving those individual parts of your body
8:47:06
that relaxing.
8:47:12
Speaker 2: One by one. You may.
8:47:23
Speaker 1: Find that.
8:47:28
Speaker 2: Every now and then you realize that you aren't listening.
8:47:39
Speaker 1: To my voice because your mind started to imagine something different,
8:47:51
maybe started to almost move into some kind of a
8:48:02
dreamy state, and then you become aware of my voice again.
8:48:14
And even though you may want to focus on my voice,
8:48:21
You may also wish to allow your mind to just
8:48:29
drift naturally into that space of comfort and safety. As
8:48:49
you feel more comfort, that spreading through your body.
8:49:06
Speaker 2: Like a warm.
8:49:07
Speaker 1: Blanket covering you gently, keeping your body at just the
8:49:24
perfect temperature. And even if you can hear background sounds,
8:49:47
they just don't seem to matter anymore. There's that sense
8:50:00
to peace spreads through your mind like a gentle breeze, Yes,
8:50:19
strong enough to blow away all negativity, strong.
8:50:31
Speaker 2: Enough to.
8:50:35
Speaker 1: Remove from your mind any anxiety or stress that was
8:50:46
there before, and blow away any other thoughts, feelings that.
8:51:04
Speaker 2: Just don't fit.
8:51:10
Speaker 1: With the sense relaxation that is feeling your body, end
8:51:36
your mind, let's your focus on your mind. We countdown
8:51:56
from ten down to one, and with each number you hear,
8:52:06
your mind.
8:52:10
Speaker 2: Will become.
8:52:16
Speaker 1: Slightly more relaxed, just just slightly, from ten down to nine,
8:52:38
just a slight movement.
8:52:42
Speaker 2: From nine down to eight.
8:52:44
Speaker 1: Just another small change in how you feel. Eight down
8:53:01
to seven. That feeling is a gap, almost like a
8:53:09
gap that starts to get the wider, the gap between
8:53:16
those feelings that you used to have in your mind
8:53:26
compared to the feelings you have there growing now, feelings
8:53:33
of comfort and security and confidence, and the gap becomes wider.
8:53:46
Eight down to seven, seven, down to six. When you
8:53:53
get to five, the mind will start have a certain
8:54:02
physical sensation, most like there's a magnet outside of your
8:54:14
head sucking atension and stress and any remaining feelings that
8:54:23
you don't want, sucking them out through your skull.
8:54:34
Speaker 2: And in down to four.
8:54:37
Speaker 1: You can start to really experience that sense of not
8:54:44
just emptiness, but space, place full of fresh air, place
8:55:00
where you can stretch. It's almost as if as you
8:55:06
go down to four and three, your mind is expanding
8:55:12
with this sense.
8:55:17
Speaker 2: Of the peace.
8:55:20
Speaker 1: And tranquility growing.
8:55:25
Speaker 2: Moves down to When you get to one, your mind.
8:55:36
Speaker 1: Just feels exactly how you want to feel, almost perfect feeling, maybe.
8:55:59
Speaker 2: The sense that you'd like to keep.
8:56:06
Speaker 1: A place that's safe, where nothing can affect you at all,
8:56:29
and you can stay in that that space of comfort
8:56:34
and confidence, confident in your own ability to create this
8:56:44
space and this feeling of comfort within your own mind
8:56:52
just by counting ten.
8:56:56
Speaker 2: Down to one.
8:57:01
Speaker 1: And this is something that you can do yourself when
8:57:06
you're on your own, the time when you can maybe
8:57:13
sit down, maybe just for a few minutes, close your eyes,
8:57:26
just count slowly from ten down to one, and we
8:57:38
experience these feelings.
8:57:43
Speaker 2: In your mind.
8:57:50
Speaker 1: And when you feel that way in your mind, your
8:57:54
body copies your mind, and the feeling is spread through
8:58:09
your spine and your nervous system into every part of
8:58:16
your body, travels through your blood stream, heathing and relaxing
8:58:31
every particle of your existence. Now we can we can
8:58:49
practice this a few times before the end of the recording, and.
8:58:58
Speaker 2: Then you can.
8:59:00
Speaker 1: Practice on your own. And each time you confort ten
8:59:07
about one, the feelings of comforts, calmness, deep deep relaxation
8:59:24
becomes stronger, deeper feeling your mind and your brain. With
8:59:41
these positive chemicals, the spread throughout your body, relaxing you
8:59:52
so quickly, relaxing your whole body and mind so very,
9:00:03
very easily, just by counting.
9:00:11
Speaker 2: Ten down to one. So we can do Now, I'm
9:00:22
going to count from ten down to one. I'd like
9:00:26
you to.
9:00:27
Speaker 1: Repeat the number after me. So when I say ten,
9:00:34
you can just repeat to yourself ten and just notice,
9:00:46
be aware of how you feel in your mind and
9:00:55
your body. Then when I say nine, you can beat
9:01:05
to yourself. Nine became noticing the increase in comfort and
9:01:23
calmness in your mind and in your body the same
9:01:34
when I say eight, when I say seven, six, when
9:01:46
I say five, four.
9:01:54
Speaker 2: When I say three, two, and lastly you want to
9:02:05
say one, be that number. Now. Of course, when you
9:02:21
do this on your own.
9:02:23
Speaker 1: Without listening to me, you can say the numbers or
9:02:28
whatever speed that you feel it is necessary for you,
9:02:39
so you can adapt. So if you feel you want
9:02:44
to say the numbers ten down to one faster than
9:02:51
I do, then you go ahead and do that. Or
9:02:55
if you feel when you do it yourself, you'd like
9:02:59
to have more more space between the numbers, maybe take
9:03:08
a lot longer to get from ten.
9:03:13
Speaker 14: All the way down to one, that's.
9:03:21
Speaker 2: Your choice also to do. So I'm going to count
9:03:33
from ten down to one. I'm when I get to one,
9:03:43
that will be the end of this recording. And less,
9:03:49
of course, you're listening with music, and the music will continue.
9:04:01
Speaker 1: He noine.
9:04:39
Speaker 20: Ey four.
9:06:08
Speaker 1: Huts twenty ninety eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirty twelve eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six.

Speaker 2: Five, four, three two one. Now open your eyes, noticing
9:10:26
how you physically feel.
9:10:29
Speaker 1: Happen counted down from twenty to one, allowing stress intention
9:10:37
to leave through your fingertips and your toes, and as
9:10:42
you focus on your fingertips, maybe they feel a little
9:10:47
bit tingly, which is I suppose quite an understanding considering
9:10:54
attention has been exiting your body through your fingertips.
9:11:05
Speaker 2: So now I'm going to count from twenty down to
9:11:07
one again.
9:11:08
Speaker 1: This time you need to feel relief of tension and
9:11:17
stress and the anxiety that you.

9:23:31
Speaker 16: Four two one.
9:24:02
Speaker 2: Noticing how you feel, how relaxed and calm.
9:24:15
Speaker 1: You physically and mentally feel right now, how peace or.
9:24:29
Speaker 2: Your mind feels.
9:24:33
Speaker 1: It feels so nice to just let go, to give
9:24:38
yourself some space to breathe easily, to think calmly, just
9:24:52
to take a break from all that pointless worry consern
9:25:00
about things.
9:25:01
Speaker 2: That you don't need to think about right now, because
9:25:12
this is your time to let go.
9:25:15
Speaker 1: This is your space to enjoy feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful
9:25:25
in your mind, relaxed.
9:25:28
Speaker 2: In your body. I can feel so good, so nice
9:25:38
to just not have to do anything, to be able
9:25:46
to really enjoy that serenity becomes and letting go completely.
9:26:00
Speaker 1: Peacefulness that comes with.
9:26:08
Speaker 2: Being in this peaceful space, and you can keep this
9:26:20
sense of calmness for as long as you choose. If
9:26:33
you choose to drift off into deep healing natural sleep,
9:26:41
and you can do that, it's completely up to you,
9:26:52
and you can keep.
9:26:53
Speaker 1: This feeling of calmness physically, mean.
9:26:57
Speaker 2: In your mind, if you choose to field and completely relaxed,
9:27:11
completely relax. They'd like you to make up your mind
9:27:23
that you're going to relax, and want to explore that
9:27:34
with you what it feels like when you actually.
9:27:38
Speaker 1: Decide that you're going to relax, not forcing yourself, but
9:27:46
giving yourself that. Yes, it is a commander, isn't it.
9:27:52
When you're telling yourself.
9:27:56
Speaker 2: Relax in a gentle way that only you can really
9:28:05
tell yourself in that way. You can't really have someone
9:28:09
else saying to you, now it relax, relax.
9:28:13
Speaker 1: You know, and it needs to be gentle, but you can't.
9:28:17
Speaker 2: Someone else can't really have the same.
9:28:24
Speaker 1: The same kind of influence or power that you have.
9:28:31
Speaker 2: Over your own physicality over how you feel, because when
9:28:43
you say it to yourself it means more. It's personal, and.
9:28:52
Speaker 1: Your brain and your unconscious mind and your body listens
9:28:57
to what you say. So, for example, we'll test it
9:29:03
out and do little test do little tests along the way,
9:29:08
and you can get more of.
9:29:09
Speaker 2: An idea of.
9:29:11
Speaker 1: The force, the positive force that you can have in
9:29:18
creating a sense of comfort and relaxation in your body.
9:29:24
Speaker 2: And your mind quite quickly.
9:29:29
Speaker 1: Just buy you telling yourself to relax. So I'm going
9:29:39
to start by.
9:29:40
Speaker 2: It's focus on your hands. Focus on your hands. Just
9:29:47
tell your hands to relax. Just say relax. As you
9:29:54
focus on your hands, you could say, my hand are relaxed,
9:30:01
or I want my hands to relax. I think if
9:30:06
you actually do it directly.
9:30:10
Speaker 1: By focusing and imagining that your hands, can you hear
9:30:15
what they're saying?
9:30:16
Speaker 2: You know, like they've got little ears.
9:30:18
Speaker 17: It's a little weird.
9:30:22
Speaker 2: So talking to your hands and just say relax. Notice
9:30:39
and your hands start to relax. Don't focus on your
9:30:54
eyes and tell your eyes to relax. You're just saying
9:30:58
the same word relax. And find the right tone for you.
9:31:08
You know, I might say relax, but you you might
9:31:12
say relax or relax.
9:31:18
Speaker 1: You know, you might say it differently to yourself, and
9:31:23
that's important for you to gauge what feels right for you.
9:31:31
Did just tell your eyes to relax whilst focusing on
9:31:36
your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eyebrows,
9:31:42
and just tell your eyes directly.
9:31:48
Speaker 2: Relax.
9:31:50
Speaker 17: Yeah.
9:32:17
Speaker 2: Now I just did that myself. And sometimes you may
9:32:28
feel that you need a bit more time or the
9:32:32
different parts to relax, you know, because I start talking
9:32:36
again and maybe that part hasn't relaxed fully. But what
9:32:42
will happen is that will just continue to relax.
9:32:44
Speaker 17: Even go on to me.
9:32:47
Speaker 2: That's happened with my eyes. Something else I've noticed is
9:32:54
when I started focused on my eyes, that actually almost
9:32:58
became they got work before they got better in a way.
9:33:02
Speaker 1: So I felt a degree of tension growing in where
9:33:05
eyes and then disappearing. So I think what that was
9:33:11
really was just me becoming more aware of the tension
9:33:17
that was already there.
9:33:19
Speaker 16: But I wasn't I wasn't.
9:33:21
Speaker 2: Focused on the people. I wasn't really acknowledging it or.
9:33:29
Speaker 1: Really conscious to those feelings. Yeah, my eyes still continuing
9:33:44
to relax.
9:33:46
Speaker 2: As well as my hands. Actually, my hands have got
9:33:51
a certain kind of energy, like not buzzing, but I
9:33:58
can kind of if you want to do with energy
9:34:02
in my hands. Maybe that's where the tension is being released.
9:34:10
Maybe that's supports in that and it's part I think
9:34:20
you should focus on the back of the neck. That's
9:34:23
a part of it is quite often, or for me,
9:34:27
holds tension. I don't know about for yourself, but I
9:34:30
think it's quite a standard place where tension is sometimes held.
9:34:37
So and I'm doing it exactly.
9:34:41
Speaker 17: What you're doing as you do it as well, so I'm.
9:34:43
Speaker 2: Telling my body parts to relax as well. So if
9:34:48
you tell your neck at the back of your neck,
9:34:50
focus on the back of your neck and just say
9:34:55
relax in your own words, in your own tone, in
9:35:00
your own voice. You can say out loud, or you
9:35:03
can just say it to yourself internally.
9:35:07
Speaker 1: But you're focusing and you're seeing it literally to the bacon.
9:35:13
Speaker 2: Is it the back you're year what you're saying, So
9:35:21
do that now, just say thanks to the back unique
9:35:26
And I did the say.
9:36:05
Speaker 10: And what I.
9:36:06
Speaker 2: Noticed and you made have had similar thing is even
9:36:12
though I was focusing on the back of the neck,
9:36:19
other parts started to I don't know, showed themselves to
9:36:26
me or maybe because they want to be relaxed as well.
9:36:29
But I started need to send the feelings in my
9:36:32
shoulders attention and my shoulders and in my upper back,
9:36:39
whether that was because my back of my neck was saying,
9:36:45
I'm pretty much kay, it's the other parts don't need attention,
9:36:57
but my load, my back of my neck is still relaxed,
9:37:01
but I just became aware of other parts that needed attention. Now,
9:37:08
this might happen, and it's not. It doesn't mean that
9:37:13
it's going wrong. It just means you're being notified more
9:37:19
places but also wants to be relaxed. So I'm going
9:37:27
to focus on my other bank.
9:37:30
Speaker 17: So you can do the same.
9:37:33
Speaker 2: Even if you don't have any.
9:37:36
Speaker 1: Feelings of tension that are obvious in your upper bank.
9:37:42
Speaker 2: You're just focus on your back and the whole area
9:37:47
and the shoulder blades down to the middle of your
9:37:51
back and the spine. And with me, it's more of
9:37:55
the shoulder blades.
9:37:57
Speaker 17: Than yeah, that's the parts that really.
9:38:06
Speaker 2: Sort of given me the want that it needs relax
9:38:13
In sounds to ask out what's relax.
9:38:16
Speaker 10: And need can get the same.
9:38:17
Speaker 2: Now that's about the bank. Something strange happened there, and
9:38:45
this often happens.
9:38:47
Speaker 10: And I'm doing this work.
9:38:51
Speaker 2: For sixteen years.
9:38:52
Speaker 17: Or something, and I do.
9:38:56
Speaker 2: Want surprised a maze bringing better It can be a feeling.
9:39:04
So when I was focusing in the back of my neck.
9:39:08
My op back was starting to feel quite stressed and
9:39:13
in need of attention. As soon as I started talking
9:39:19
to you about my alphabet and talking about, you know,
9:39:24
getting ready to ask the other bank to relax, why
9:39:29
the back already started to relax. It's almost as if
9:39:35
it doesn't need to hear the words, just needs attention,
9:39:45
just needs to be noticed. That is something that often
9:39:57
happens in this type of situation is when you start
9:40:06
to relax.
9:40:08
Speaker 17: A couple of parts of your body as we're done
9:40:11
where it and.
9:40:13
Speaker 2: The eyes that eyelids, and now after the next.
9:40:23
Speaker 16: Talk of the bag, the bag, the rest of.
9:40:28
Speaker 2: The body seems to just take notice and decide in
9:40:36
its own way to start relaxing.
9:40:42
Speaker 17: Other parts of your body.
9:40:45
Speaker 2: Start to just and loser. I suppose it's kind of
9:40:54
like a bit of an avalanche, you know, a little
9:40:58
balls starts rolling.
9:41:00
Speaker 17: Before you know it, the whole of your body.
9:41:02
Speaker 2: Is completely relaxed. In time, focus on your face, Focus
9:41:21
on your eyes, eye leaves, your eyebrowns, and the muscles
9:41:29
around your eyes. Maybe you start to notice that the
9:41:39
bullhead is more relaxed than it was. Maybe your face
9:41:44
is more relaxed.
9:41:48
Speaker 17: I would say my entire face is a lot more.
9:41:51
Speaker 2: Relaxed than once. You're going to focus now on your
9:42:06
shoulders the game just like before. Just till your shoulders.
9:42:15
Speaker 16: You can't do with the ditch.
9:42:16
Speaker 2: Do my shoulder and you shoulder. I just did do
9:42:21
both at the same time. Just tell your shoulders and
9:42:26
you've focused on your mind, focus on how build Maybe.
9:42:33
Speaker 10: You can see them in one's eyes.
9:42:39
Speaker 2: Just tell your shoulders.
9:42:44
Speaker 17: To relax.
9:43:23
Speaker 10: Its nice as they were nights.
9:43:35
Speaker 2: I didn't notice especially that bad is the connection between
9:43:44
the different parts the bank shoulders.
9:43:49
Speaker 16: Then, being such a large part.
9:43:59
Speaker 2: Of body, soon's hard to separate.
9:44:05
Speaker 10: The work from each other.
9:44:11
Speaker 17: And when lower back is started to react in the
9:44:14
same you're going to be slow.
9:44:24
Speaker 2: Net to be issued bec spren different speeds. And the
9:44:33
idea of giving that this recordings you need.
9:44:36
Speaker 10: To be able to just.
9:44:37
Speaker 2: Say to yourself relapse without focusing.
9:44:51
Speaker 17: On any particular what arts of the good?
9:44:56
