Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to let Me boy You to Sleep.
0:06
My name's Jason Luland and this is Trivia Tuesday. De
0:12
Rivia Trivia Trivia Tuesday. Trivia Trivia Trivia Tuesday. Hello. It
0:23
is Tuesday, the twenty third of September twenty twenty five,
0:30
and it's three point fifty six pm. And please only
0:43
listen when you can safely close your eyes. So, still
0:50
having a bit of problems with Apple Podcasts. I don't know.
0:54
It's I think it's taken a while for it to
0:56
all get sorted, and I think it's generally work him.
1:00
But yah, I've done everything I can do. It's I
1:08
tested them all again today. Those that didn't work I
1:11
got rid of those are working fine. Now. I know
1:16
that some of the issues isn't just updating that seems
1:19
to be sorted, but being able to follow. I don't
1:25
know how to sort that out. If I'm honest with you.
1:28
So if I put in my name Apple Podcasts, so
1:40
if I put in let me boy you to sleep.
1:44
Speaker 2: Let me let me bore you to sleep, to sleep,
1:52
to sleep.
1:54
Speaker 1: So let me I'll open this up. The page that
1:58
you're looking for can't be found, which is a little
2:03
bit annoying, more than a little bit annoying, which means
2:09
it must be the old one. However, if I put
2:13
in my name into Apple podcasts and search, I can
2:19
find let Me put you to Sleep, and the one
2:25
that's on there is not the one. It's I guess
2:30
it's the newer version. So all I can do is
2:34
apologize and just say, and you should be able to
2:39
follow this one. The old one's gone. And that's partly
2:46
my mistake, partly my error. Partly I don't want to
2:54
take full responsibility, but somewhere along the line, I've messed up.
3:02
But also I think Apple messed up a bit as well,
3:07
So it seems to be it's a case of refinding me,
3:13
if that makes any kind of sense. So the podcasts
3:17
I've got on Apple Podcasts that all the others should
3:21
be fine. It's just Apple podcasts that have been a
3:23
bit weird. I've got relaxation for stress and panic attacks,
3:32
that's opening up, so that's fine. Hypnosis for sleeping deeply
3:37
that's fine, Sleepy boring objects that's fine, although I do
3:45
need to update that one. Let me buoy you to sleep,
3:52
which is fine. Bedtime story time that's fine, and deep
4:05
Sleep whisper hypnosis, which isn't working at all. Oh okay,
4:15
oh it is working, so I think that just needed
4:19
re rebooting. So let's go back to see. Yeah, So
4:25
basically that's what it is. It's sleepy broad objects. That's
4:30
Furcus working fine. Yes, there's one, two, three, four, five, six.
4:40
I've now got six podcasts that are up and running
4:46
on Apple Podcasts. They should be available everywhere else. I've
4:51
still got SoundCloud. Still got two podcasts on SoundCloud, Let
4:56
Me boyd to Sleep and the other one, which is
5:07
it is Hypnosis of Sleeping Deeply. Now, these the SoundCloud
5:12
ones are completely separate, so they're not dependent upon being
5:18
manually or automatically updated from the speaker podcasts. These are
5:24
podcasts on their own which I have to upload separately.
5:28
I would get rid of them, but unfortunately not Unfortunately,
5:31
but some people prefer SoundCloud. So I've got an audience
5:35
on SoundCloud separate from all the other places that I upload.
5:44
So I do get rid of them both for a
5:46
while back and I ended up having to reinstate them.
5:53
I mean to give you an idea where is it? Oh,
6:01
to give you an idea with the Hypnosis of Sleeping Deeply.
6:08
It's kind of those two podcasts are like a whole
6:11
different world compared to the ones on Spreaker. I mean,
6:18
I probably had more downloads on the two podcasts on
6:21
SoundCloud to date than already I have done on the others,
6:25
but just the way it goes. So if you look
6:31
the last thirty days, I've had four thousand, six hundred
6:34
and one place on that one podcast, but for the
6:39
last twelve months, three hundred and eighty three thousand, seven
6:43
hundred and eighty five plays all time, which is all
6:51
of last year, part of the year before, and this
6:55
year is two million, five hundred and thirteen thousand, two
6:59
hundred and seventy one. Just gives you an idea. You know,
7:04
there are people listening different places. Some people even listen
7:12
to me on YouTube, So I've got a YouTube channel.
7:18
All six versions of the recordings are uploaded on YouTube
7:26
as podcasts. So it's kind of I don't get I
7:37
shouldn't be this honest, but I don't get a huge
7:39
amount of views on the YouTube because YouTube, I mean,
7:46
it's it is a podcast, it's you know, it's you know,
7:49
it's it is a podcast, but it's still you know,
7:57
YouTube prefers videos. It's still a video. It's like a
8:01
static picture and then my voice. But it's all right.
8:06
I'll continue to share it because basically, whenever I do
8:12
a new recording, it automatically uploads to YouTube. And I
8:19
have a huge amount of videos, wow, like absolutely huge amounts.
8:32
I don't I couldn't even tell you how many I've
8:34
got on YouTube, probably over two thousand, which is quite
8:41
a lot. So a look, I'm just I'm interested. I'm
8:45
slightly interested. Where would it tell me? Shouldn't it should
8:53
wouldn't it have that on the channel page, channel page, channel,
8:58
my channel? Come on, so Vinnie's chewing on something. I've
9:06
got three point one thousand videos on my YouTube channel.
9:10
So that's some mixture videos that I've made from the past,
9:14
videos I've made, Well, everything's from the past, isn't it.
9:17
But there's videos of Andrea, these videos of Vinnie. There's
9:22
videos from like two thousand and eleven, two thousand and ten,
9:29
two thousand and seven. I'm not sure if I posted
9:35
the videos from two thousand and six, but there's a
9:42
lot of videos, and now every day there's six more added.
9:50
I kind of hope, I mean, for me, personally, I
9:53
think YouTube's quite a good place to listen because I
9:56
got it on Metelli. I just turn it on and
10:00
I like to listen to my podcast just to see
10:02
if they if they work, if they sound okay, And
10:06
they do, and I always bore myself to sleep, which
10:12
is weird. You'd think that being my own voice, it
10:14
would be a bit off put in, but it doesn't
10:18
for some reason. Yeah, I listen, I'm not. I'm not.
10:24
I don't listen to every single recording, but probably at
10:31
the moment, I probably listened to at least four or
10:33
five a week, three three a week something like that.
10:38
When I do, like, you know, one every day. So
10:43
there we are. So what I would say is just
10:47
search for me, search for my name on Apple Podcasts.
10:52
The it might be a different podcast to the one
10:57
that you were listening to before, if you know what
11:01
I mean. It might just be like an updated version.
11:04
Because Apple Podcasts had so many different versions of podcasts
11:13
from the past on there that it got I think
11:16
it just got confused, which is fair enough, and that
11:19
was I didn't realize. I guess I didn't know how
11:22
it all worked. But on here on all of these
11:26
podcaster's coming up. It is given a plus follow button,
11:34
so I can't check it on my phone right now,
11:36
but it's working on the laptop right So that's all
11:46
that done. There there any Facebook messages I can talk
11:52
abould you know. I was in the park earlier and Vinnie,
12:00
as he does, gets excited to say low to people.
12:03
So he jumped up at this man. As a man
12:09
and a woman walking, it looked like they were going
12:12
on the grass to avoid him, which I thought it
12:14
was a bit weird, but they weren't. And he jumped
12:20
up at the lady. Then he jumped and he got
12:22
on his back and was showing his belly to the lady.
12:25
Then he came jumped up at the man, and the
12:28
man said, oh, next time I see him, can you
12:31
have his nails cut? Which I thought was a little
12:36
bit cheeky of him to say that next time I
12:39
have his nails cut. Maybe next time he jumps up
12:45
at you, And perhaps you can not be wearing shorts
12:48
like a little schoolboy. This is someone probably in his
12:52
late seventies walking around with shorts on in autumn. You
13:00
know when it I mean, it's not like freezing cold
13:05
out there, but it's not warm it was quite chilly,
13:09
and I wouldn't wear shorts in this weather. I don't
13:14
wear shorts in any weather. But that's just a legal requirement.
13:18
I can't help that one. Oh, Sarah Hitch, just let
13:26
me have a quick look, see if there's any messages.
13:30
Just okay, Again, I don't know anymore. It's confusing the
13:38
whole thing. I hope Apple Podcasts is now sorted and
13:42
I've done all I can do. I know I said
13:45
that yesterday probably, but this time I really think I
13:51
have because I've gone through it again and again and
13:55
again and again and again, and some of the saying
14:00
it's working fine now, which is good. Right. I can't
14:09
log in, so I can't log in, but I just
14:13
can't be bothered. So that's it.
14:16
Speaker 3: Really.
14:17
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, do I really need that let Me Boydsleep
14:21
dot com website? Maybe, just, you know, because I've got
14:24
the Jasonnewland dot com website still running as well, so
14:31
I might just get rid of the let Me boy
14:34
to Sleep and just had the Jasonnewland dot com like before.
14:40
Just simplify things, you know, And if you go to
14:45
the Jasonnewland dot com like before, it's all the latest
14:50
recordings on there. So you go on the first page
14:53
and you can skip down. Men, there's one nine hundred
14:56
and eighty eight episodes to choose from just from this
15:01
on the first page that you can actually go through
15:06
ten thousand, three hundred and nine hours and fifty minutes,
15:13
so it should be enough to get you through for
15:16
a while. You know, there's a lot of stuff on
15:18
there going back to who knows how far back, and
15:24
that includes not just to let Me Boy the sleep ones,
15:27
but all of the recordings, including the hypnosis stuff that
15:31
are done in recent months. And also there are links
15:40
to each of the podcasts on Speaker that I have
15:45
as well on that first page, so it's got all
15:48
the hypnosis is Sleeping Deeply, let Me Boys Sleep Deep Sleep,
15:53
Whisper Hypnosis, relax and Sleep Hypnosis, Daily Short Relaxation Hypnosis,
16:02
Monday Sleepy Boriling Objects, Help Me Boil Your Pain Away,
16:08
Chronic Pain Hypnosis, Stress and Pain Relief, Relaxation for stress
16:16
and panic attacks, Jason's Bedtime, Storytime Q and a Friday
16:24
Requested recordings. Let Me Boil Your Phobia Away, Stop Now Biting,
16:32
Stop Smoking Hypnosis. Wow, that's a lot, isn't it. One two, three, four, five, six, forty, fifteen,
16:42
sixteen seventeen's is also a Spanish one seventeen podcasts. Now
16:51
only the main ones are on the Apple podcast now,
16:56
So what I'll do once it's all sorted, once it's
16:59
all kind of calm down, I might try and start
17:05
adding some of the other podcasts onto Apple Podcasts. I'm
17:10
going to leave it maybe a month or so, let
17:13
everything kind of settle, so just I want to make
17:19
sure that everything updates correctly. And yeah, but then as
17:25
I said, the links are there, so you can go
17:27
to my to my podcasts directly or you can just
17:32
use the It was like a playlist on the first page.
17:37
And my website is on Jason dot com now is
17:40
just one page. Everything on one page. It's very easy
17:44
to use. So that's another you know, alternative, so you've
17:49
got it. Can go directly to speaker all my podcasts,
17:55
you can go to Apple Podcasts, you can go you
17:58
know to all the different podcast hosts places your directories
18:01
and that, you can go to YouTube, or you can
18:05
go to my website Jasonnewland dot com. There's lots of
18:08
different options where you can find my latest recordings. Oh
18:15
and also SoundCloud. Of course, wow, forgot about SoundCloud. So
18:19
you can go to SoundCloud and just let's have a look.
18:23
You click on SoundCloud and search for me Jason new Land. Right,
18:34
you'd think I'd know how to spell my surname by now,
18:36
wouldn't you? N E, W, L, A and D Jason Newland.
18:43
So I got one visit Jason Newland's profile, Barry, someone
18:53
else has got it, so okay, that's not me, so
18:57
Jason Newland. And if you go down to oh, that's
19:04
weird Albums English, Oh found two hundred and eighty seven playlists,
19:13
five hundred plus tracks, fifteen people. I thought i'd be
19:17
a little bit easier to find. Well, underneath the Jason
19:22
Newland that isn't me and that's from Barry, United Kingdom.
19:28
There is lots of my recordings. So what you could do,
19:34
like hypnosis is sleeping Deeply. You could just click on
19:38
that the top one, so you got music number twenty five,
19:43
letting go that was a year for a year ago.
19:47
You can just click on sleeping Deeply and that brings
19:50
it up. See this weird. Or you could just put
19:58
in if you want, let me bore you to sleep
20:10
and yep, I come up on speaker. I've used the
20:14
old banner of the little baby with a yellow hat.
20:17
He's a yellow beanie. I just want to kind of
20:21
have it separate from the others. So you got that
20:23
and click on that. You can also follow and the
20:27
latest recordings are on there. So streaming which was yesterday's one.
20:34
See it's still so. I understand we've all got our
20:38
favorite places that we like to listen to stuff I do.
20:45
I completely get that, and I do have a few options,
20:51
so it's not all I'm not just in one place.
20:54
I'm kind of all over the place, not just mentally.
20:59
Another thing someone asked me, and I can't. I've had
21:03
a lot of people posting stuff and I've kind of
21:05
lost track a little bit. But it was about being
21:11
able to listen on Apple podcasts and set the timer
21:16
for just one hour.
21:21
Speaker 3: Now.
21:23
Speaker 1: My initial react not reaction. My initial response was if
21:28
you listen to the one with music or without music,
21:32
just the one standard recording, they're usually about an hour,
21:36
aren't they, I suppose, But then sometimes I do waffle
21:40
on for nearly two hours, sometimes even longer. So I
21:45
can see, if you know, if you want it to
21:48
be to turn off after an hour. Actually that was
21:55
my first response. My first response is maybe I should
21:57
make a recording that stops after an hour. But then
22:07
would that just be another addition to already six different recordings.
22:13
There's quite a lot, isn't it? For each recording? Six
22:16
different versions? So I did some research and apparently Apple
22:23
podcasts on iPhone and iPad has a built in sleep timer.
22:29
So if you're watching or a listener rather on iPhone
22:33
or iPad, and here's how you can set it up
22:38
so the podcast stops after one hour. So you open
22:46
a podcast app and start playing the episode. Swipe up
22:52
on the now playing screen where you see the play
22:55
pause button. Look for the options sleep timer a little
23:02
Clockee icon. So sleep timer a little clock icon. Tap
23:11
it and choose a duration and see the options. It
23:17
says if five minutes, ten thirty minutes, one hour, end
23:22
of episode, et cetera. Once set, the episode will stop
23:28
automatically when the timer runs out. If you don't see
23:34
the sleep timer, make sure your app is updated. Okay,
23:47
I wonder, I'm not sure how it works on a
23:50
on a What's It phone? I should ask that, shouldn't I.
23:56
Spotify also has a sleep timer built in on an iPhone,
24:01
iPad and Android is apparently the same thing. Open Spotify
24:06
and start playing the podcast. Tap the now playing screen
24:12
the big play bar at the bottom, Tap three dots
24:16
in the upper right corner, scroll down and tap sleep
24:23
timer and then choose from five minutes on once to
24:27
win how long long you want it to last. For
24:32
On desktop PCs and a Mac, the sleep time isn't available,
24:43
but you can do it via your actual computer as
24:45
well separate, but it's not available on the app. So
24:49
I want to check Apple Podcasts on Android because millions
24:59
of people have Android phones. So I'll just see and tablets,
25:11
let's see what it says. That's a tricky bit. Apple
25:14
Podcasts is only available on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch,
25:22
so that's not even valiant. I didn't even think about that.
25:28
I think they're missing out a little bit there. I
25:30
know part of this because they want people to buy
25:33
the Apple phone and the stuff like that, but I wouldn't.
25:38
I don't think i'd buy a phone just because of
25:43
it having Apple Podcasts, because you can. Oh, no, I
25:50
don'ver although I do use Apple music, don't I So
25:55
i'd misusing Apple Music. But I would go over it
25:58
if i'd The only reason I don't have an Android
26:02
phone like I used to have. I've had blimey loads
26:06
of different phones. I just find I'm used to using it.
26:13
That's all it is. Really. I'm used to the Apple phone,
26:16
the iPhone, had one for probably fifteen years now, not
26:23
the same one, but I'm just used to it. And no,
26:29
I don't upgrade. I don't upgrade every single time. BlimE me.
26:34
Who can afford that?
26:36
Speaker 3: Wow?
26:37
Speaker 1: I mean the new one. I think I've had one, two, three,
26:44
three iPhones maybe four over the last fifteen years, maybe three,
26:52
so you know they have to last a good five
26:55
years each, so I'm always out of date. Really. Yeah,
27:03
So that's what you need to do if you want
27:06
to set up the If that's what I'm going to do,
27:16
I'm going to post this on my Facebook page. Yes
27:21
I am, Yes I M Yes I am. Because it
27:27
might be it might be useful, it might not be useful,
27:33
but it's it's worth trying, isn't it. What are you
27:37
going to do the trivia Tuesday yet? I'm going to
27:41
do in a second, just wait, so what I'm going
27:45
to do and posting right? Setting timer on Apple Podcast
28:08
set in sleep Timer, sit in sleep Timer on Apple Podcast. Okay,
28:21
I'm going to post that it might be useful. If
28:26
it is useful, let me know. I posted on Jason
28:30
Newland's Boring group, so that's where I my all my
28:33
stuff is. So I'm always if I can help, I will.
28:41
Karen says Apple's working fine for me now, So I
28:45
hope it. Yeah, it's just one of those things, you know,
28:51
it's it's not a lot I can do. I've done
28:57
everything I can do. I do believe. I hope it's
29:02
all thoughted. Oh, Jimmy Kimmel's back on TV after a
29:15
brief hiatus of what three days. I don't care. What
29:29
would I get. It's not a show that even comes
29:31
on in this country, I don't think. So it might
29:33
be maybe it does, but not on the mainstream channels,
29:38
and perhaps they have it on Sky. I don't know.
29:43
We've never really in this country, we've never really been
29:47
big on the late night chat shows like in America,
29:53
You've Got You've Got, whoever lives in America listening to
29:58
this and possibly in and had possibly in Australia as well.
30:01
In other countries. I don't know they have these like
30:06
the Letterman version of a Letterman Show, and you know,
30:14
they've been around for decades. These that format like every
30:21
night of the week. We've never had that, I don't think, really, no,
30:25
we never. I suppose we've had chat shows like we
30:29
used to have the Wogan Show that was on at
30:33
seven o'clock in the evening, and at one point that
30:36
was on every Monday to Friday. But that was just
30:40
Terry Wogan sitting on a sofa or in a chair
30:44
and getting celebrities out and talking to them. It was
30:48
a very different thing to him being behind a desk
30:52
and having There was also live entertainment singers, I don't know,
30:58
maybe comedians and stuff like that, but it wasn't late night.
31:02
It wasn't irreverent, it wasn't adult or anything like that.
31:09
And I think the first time we ever really had
31:12
anything even even similar would be the Last Resort, which
31:20
was in the about nineteen eighty seven eighty eight with
31:25
Jonathan Ross, and it was a it was that kind
31:32
of format late night I think Channel four possibly, and
31:40
it was once a week and there'd be you know,
31:44
like crazy antics and silliness and adult stuff. But I
31:51
wouldn't actually it's not true. There was a late night
31:53
show called There Was a Tis Was which was a
31:58
kids show, and then they did their own show once
32:02
a week late and it got canceled. But that was
32:05
kind of adult and this was in the in the eighties.
32:17
I forget over the top or so some weird name.
32:23
But as far as late night chat shows go, I
32:26
mean I had another few, had Clive Anderson, but again
32:32
once a week on a Friday, and he was beyond
32:36
a desk and they'd be interviewing people and there'd be
32:38
people singing, all comedians and stuff, so kind of similar format,
32:43
but just once a week, not every night. And they
32:48
weren't big shows. I mean they were they were, Yeah,
32:53
they didn't. I don't know. I've seen clips of I've
32:59
seen whole shows on YouTube of like the different people
33:04
like let them and and all the different versions. You know,
33:07
that's been over the years, but we just don't have
33:11
that here, and at the moment there isn't anything like
33:13
that on terrestrial television anyway. I don't really know what
33:22
my point is, but the I yeah, we don't have
33:29
that kind of stuff. I mean, I'm just trying to
33:33
think what other shows. By the way, that's my desk squeaking.
33:41
Then he's stare in his bum. I'm not quite sure
33:43
what he's expecting, another magic trick. I don't know. It's
33:51
fascinated with his rectum. Sometimes he just stares it for hours. Honestly,
33:59
I don't know what he's expecting. What is he what
34:02
is he anticipating? Is going to happen?
34:09
Speaker 3: Right?
34:10
Speaker 1: No, Vinnie, No, no, don't be barking just because there's
34:14
a dog yeats back barking. You don't have to bark.
34:18
You want to get on my lap? You want to
34:19
get on my lap? You can if you want, you
34:21
get on my lap. Do you want to cuddle?
34:23
Speaker 4: No?
34:24
Speaker 1: No, okay, okay. I was getting excited because you can hear.
34:29
I don't think it's your friend, though. I don't think
34:31
it's Archie. No, it's not Archie, because well it might
34:36
be Archie, but I don't think to hear him from here.
34:39
He lives too far away. Yeah. I don't know why
34:47
I was talking about late night shows, but we don't
34:49
really have much. I think I quite like it. I
34:51
used to. I used to. There used to be a
34:54
TV show called Never was It Don't Forget your Toothbrush,
35:00
which used to be on Saturday Night, but that was
35:03
more like a game show. And then there was Chris Evans,
35:08
not the actor Chris Evans. That was a bit of
35:12
a squeak. What was that about? Chris Evans who was
35:16
on The Big Breakfast which was like a morning TV show,
35:22
which was good. I really liked that show back in
35:25
the nineties and used to started like six six to
35:32
eight or something. And yeah, it's quite weird because I
35:39
went there once because the house it was like looked
35:43
like a cottage and it was in the Docklands, really
35:46
close to where I lived. I didn't know where. And
35:50
then one day I I was in Stratford's shopping center
35:57
just I don't know what I was doing, probably just
35:59
looking around and maybe on my way to the train
36:02
station to have a wonder. I really don't remember. And
36:08
I think this was either two nineteen ninety four or
36:12
nineteen ninety five, and this person came up to me
36:19
holding a clipboard and they said, would you like to
36:24
be on television? And I don't remember what I answered.
36:31
I mean I would have probably, I guess been in
36:33
the positive because I ended up on a coach being
36:38
taken to this this TV studio, which from the outside
36:46
looked quite small but from the inside was huge, and
36:51
so there was Yeah, it wasn't full, but they were
36:56
basically trying to just drag people off the street to
36:59
be the alliance. And the show was oh, what was
37:05
his name? Supermarket sweep bloke, Supermarket dal Winton. I got
37:16
it before I put it in. Dal Winton and a sportsman.
37:23
They were doing a TV show together. And I don't
37:25
know if it ever really kind of aired. It might
37:28
be like a trial, you know, a trial show just
37:32
to see if it was going to be successful. Very weird.
37:38
I've never been to a film in of a TV
37:41
show before, and it was very fake the way they
37:48
put it together, like getting people to clap for no reason,
37:53
and then they add that on to the you know,
37:56
I suppose it during the editing and even because everyone
38:00
now laugh laugh laugh, like now you will whoop, jump
38:05
up and down, shake your bits, go and jump up
38:08
and down like what bits drawn me to shake? That's weird.
38:13
And they'd come out and they'd do the introductions like
38:17
six times come and say the same thing. It was
38:22
just weird. The whole thing was broken up, completely different
38:27
to what you'd see on television, not even in the
38:30
same order. It's like, you know, some movies they film
38:35
the ending of the movie before the beginning of the movie,
38:39
so even the actors don't know what the heck's going on.
38:45
It's it's weird. So yeah, I don't know. Ah, I
38:59
don't know. If you can hear downstairs and music, A
39:04
lot of bass, A lot of bass been going for hours.
39:08
But I hope it's not going to be a regular thing.
39:13
But hey, they're such good neighbors. I can't bother to
39:17
borrow worry about it. So I had someone knocking on
39:22
my door earlier, but I was in bed and they
39:24
were knocking using the knocker. Now my I've got Maybe
39:31
it's an attitude, but leave my knocker alone. I don't
39:34
let just anyone touch my knocker, and I do. I
39:38
do believe knockers are sacred. We should just you. You know,
39:41
I've got a doorbell, press a doorbell. Why do you
39:44
have to touch my knocker because when you use that
39:48
it shakes the whole flat it's very loud. I don't
39:53
like knockers. I don't. I'm not not door knockers anyway,
39:56
I don't. I just don't. It's just like it's too much,
40:00
it's too demanding, almost on a level of violence, almost
40:05
just like no, because you know, you watch TV or
40:08
you're in bed or having a like bang bang bang,
40:11
Like what the heck, what's going on? Is it an earthquake? What?
40:18
What's going on? And I don't know who. I was
40:23
in bed and I looked through my camera and just
40:26
some bloke what you wanted? But I'm in bed. I
40:35
was like, no, go away. Now I'm thinking because they're
40:39
trying to do an appraisal of the flats and the
40:49
counter a little bit, I don't be a little silly sometimes,
40:54
so they're like, oh, we need to come into the
40:56
flat and do something. But then they just turn up
40:59
random and if you don't answer the door a couple
41:04
of times in the send a threatening letter, Oh we're going
41:08
to break in. We have to get like wait a minute.
41:11
If you make an appointment and I'm able to be,
41:15
you know, I'll be here or I'll contact you and
41:18
let you know that I can't be here. But it
41:21
seems a bit ridiculous. They expect me to be in
41:24
all day, even though I am potentially in most of
41:29
the day. But it's regardless of that other people, what
41:32
about them? Not everyone in the world. I mean, people
41:37
have got different lives and they some people have social lives,
41:41
some people have working lives, some people have commitments to
41:47
contend with. So yeah, it's weird. So I don't know
41:53
who he was, but you knocked at all the doors.
41:57
So I'm going to ask one of my neighbors who
42:00
did answer the door who he was, because I tried
42:03
to listen, but I couldn't hear what they were saying.
42:06
So I'm gonna, yeah, I'll try and get his version,
42:12
because I think that they were all doing audits of
42:15
the flats and I've got a hole in the wall.
42:18
I need to fill that in. Did I tell you
42:21
about that? Oh? Man? This basically what happened is my
42:28
neighbor downstairs helped me to put my TV on the wall.
42:31
This was a few weeks ago, and he drilled through
42:34
the wall like right away through to the bedroom. But
42:39
it was just it was a really he's got a
42:41
long one and it he just pushed too hard and
42:46
it went all the way in, which because there's a
42:50
gap in the middle of the wall as well, so
42:54
he didn't need to go he just slipped. That's all
42:56
it was he slipped and went in the wrong hole,
43:00
but he kind of it made a wrong hole as
43:03
it were, So yeah, I need to fill that in,
43:07
find something to feel Philly's hole in with. I suppose
43:14
some kind of paste or something. Right, mate, do you
43:17
want to get on my lap? He does, Hello, you're right,
43:24
Come on. Then he wants to get on my lap.
43:26
You like getting onto the side of the sofa. He's
43:29
putting his paws on my lap. So when I lean
43:32
a little bit forward so that he can actually get
43:34
onto my lap, he jumps off. Do you want to
43:38
get on my lap? If you want, you turn it
43:41
into a game on you. I can't be bothered, Vinny,
43:45
I can't re bother it. If you want to get
43:48
on my lap for a cuddle, you can. I've told
43:53
him right from the day he moved in. He can
43:56
have cuddles anytime he wants anytime. I'm always available for
44:00
a cuddle. But he just makes it difficult, Like I
44:06
think he wants to cuddle, he wants to get on
44:09
my lap and cuddle up, but at the same time
44:14
he is like he doesn't. I'm not sure how to
44:17
express that. I don't know because if he if he
44:22
wants to, I'm happily like give him a cuddle, and
44:26
I'll do this while I'm cuddling him. But I know
44:30
because I'm now stroking him like he's right next to
44:33
my feet and sitting up and I'm just patting him
44:36
on the head, good boy, just stroking his neck and
44:40
his chin. But I know that if I bent down
44:43
to pick him up, he'd run away or growl at me.
44:48
You see it all. If I pick enough, I put
44:50
him onto my lap, he'll try and get down. Yeah,
44:54
he wants to be on my lap. It's such a
44:57
weird one, isn't it Finny. It's a strange situation, it
45:03
really is. So what else has happened? It's really weird
45:24
as anyway is a question? Do you know Microsoft MSN?
45:30
Have you noticed how NSN news? Right? It's so out
45:36
of date, so out of date, Like if a big
45:42
news story hits kind of let's say today, I'll see
45:52
it come up on my feed probably Friday. It's Tuesday.
45:58
Today is so slow. I don't know why. And how
46:07
about this the story the Mirror Anthony Joshua has ten
46:13
man shortlists for comeback fight. I've got a ten man's
46:19
shortlist for comeback fight. I mean, come on, ten, that
46:22
narrows it down. It's ridiculous. Ten people make it a
46:28
bit more interesting. It's going to be, you know, between three,
46:33
but not ten. That's just that's just them saying. They
46:37
might as have changed the headline too. We've got no
46:40
idea who Antony Joshua is going to fight next. Who's
46:44
going to click on that though, but that's basically what
46:47
they're saying. Or Anthony Joshua has no idea who's going
46:52
to fight next, or Anthony Joshua maybe having another fight
46:58
at some point, but we've got a clue who will
47:01
be again? Probably a bit too long as the title
47:05
wouldn't get clicked. It might get clicked because Anthony Joshua
47:10
and a lot of people like you know, want to
47:12
read about him. But Terence Crawford stripped of title just
47:19
days after boxing star beat Caverer Alvarez in Vegas, row.
47:33
How the heck? Ah? He's been stripped to his WBA
47:39
Super World toweight championship thirty seven year old points victory. Okay,
47:47
so he moved up. He was the WBA champion in
47:53
all the belts, so he was not it. He was
47:58
the Super World toweight champion and all the belts rather,
48:01
and then he went up to fight for the super
48:04
Middleweight championship and won all the belts in that. Now
48:11
it seems a little bit harsh for them to take
48:14
away one of his belts when he's literally two weeks later.
48:19
Give him a little bit of time generally when they
48:27
strip a box saze because he's refusing to pay this
48:31
sanction ofees. So they probably said to him, are making
48:35
this up across but they probably said to him most
48:39
definitely probably didn't say to him. Now, listen, mister Crawford,
48:47
this is a WBA regarding your Super World toweight championship.
48:53
You're going to have to defend it soon. And you
48:59
can either defend it within you know, thirty days, or
49:04
agree to defend it within thirty days. So you'll have
49:06
like maybe three months to maybe agree within thirty days
49:12
to defend it and then have the fight in three
49:15
months whatever, or you'll get stripped, or if you're really
49:23
kind of nice to us and give us a million pound,
49:27
we might just keep you as a champion for a
49:29
little bit longer. And he might have thought, I'll do
49:35
an impression of Trance Crawford here. I don't think I
49:40
won't want to pay that kind of money.
49:42
Speaker 3: No, I don't.
49:44
Speaker 1: I am a two week world champion. Okay, that wasn't
49:49
very good accent. So, but according to this, he was
49:57
going to Crawford was going to go back down and wait,
50:02
he wasn't going to stay at the higher weight, which
50:07
makes me wonder, makes me wonder if he's going to
50:15
Let's have a look. What could Terrence Crawford do. I've
50:19
got an idea. Let's have a look. I'll get some
50:22
Terrence Crawford. The music's getting louder downstairs, bastards, right, Let's
50:31
have a look Terrence Crawford. So he's been a world
50:38
champion three different weights, I do believe, but unified in
50:44
two or three. No, I'm losing track. He's being the
50:49
lightweight title, lightweight, lightweight, lightweight, lightweight, lightweight, lightweight. Okay, So
51:00
who attends twenty sixteen light welter weight one of beard
51:09
wanna be one?
51:14
Speaker 3: Well?
51:14
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's been wow lightweight. So he won the
51:20
world title is lightweight? Wow lightweight title. He's one world
51:32
titled light welterweight. He's won world titles at welter weight,
51:39
and he's won world titles at super middleweight. All right,
51:48
So that whole super well to weight was just silly
51:51
because that's not true. So super okay, right, yes, so
52:00
they messed that up. So four different weights. I'm doing
52:09
quite well because in the past, having all this music
52:12
in the background would have buged me. Bu bug me. Look,
52:20
he's held eighteen different major world championships in five weight
52:24
classes from lightweight to super middleweight, including undisputed championships at
52:30
Lightworld toweight, World toweight, and super middleweight. His second ever
52:35
male freeweight undisputed champion in the four belt era. He
52:40
is the first male boxer in history to capture the
52:44
undisputed championship in two and three divisions, and the first
52:50
to achieve that stage that both Lightworld toweight and World toweight.
52:54
He's held the undisputed super middleweight titles since September twenty
52:57
twenty five. So I'm thinking what he could do? What
53:03
he could do? It got his is how many viewers
53:14
peak views forty one million, four hundred thousand on his
53:19
fight on Netflix a couple of weeks ago. Wow, the
53:23
live gate was forty seven million that's just those that
53:29
attended the actual fight in person, which seems like a
53:32
lot of money because it wasn't a huge audience. I
53:36
mean like in person, I mean, but there was no
53:41
buys because it wasn't payge you go or pay per
53:43
viewer other here's a weird one, right, So Spence Crawford,
53:55
seven hundred thousand people paid for that and the second
53:59
most popular I was Khan Amir Khan. Wow. So I'm
54:09
just trying to go down. I'm I just want to
54:12
work out the rest of his career because he's getting
54:14
he's thirty seven. I'm sure he doesn't want to fight
54:17
on forever so and he won't be able to major
54:24
world titles WBA light Champion, lightweight Champion, super lightweight, light world,
54:34
to weight like, so what he could do? Possibly he
54:42
could go down to middleweight, right, and yeah, he could
54:49
go down to middleweight. So he's lost a few a
54:52
few pounds, but it's only one weight class, go down
54:56
to middleweight and win. So who's the middleweight middleweight world champions?
55:10
The media, the MIDDI middleweight world champions, so the look,
55:17
just give me a list of everyone in the last
55:19
two hundred years. I don't want everyone. I want now
55:23
present Jannie Beck, Alim Kunaluk, Jannie Beck, Alim Canooluly. So
55:32
he's got He's got the WBO, and Jennie Beck Albi
55:40
Canooley got the IBF, Alice Sandy Lara has got the WBA,
55:53
Carlos Adams has got the WBC, and Jermaine Taylor has
56:03
got the what how can it be a title? That's
56:11
two thousand and five, that's weird list of champions. So
56:17
what we've got, We've got the WBC, Carlos Adams, wb A,
56:24
it's not Adams ad mess Adam Adam is, WBA, in
56:33
Slandy harrys Landy, Lara, IBF, Jenny Beeck, and w BO Jennebec.
56:41
So that's the four main channels, four main belts. So
56:47
what he could do is fight Jennebeck. So come down,
56:54
I don't know, seven pounds, whatever it is, come down
56:59
and wait, fight Jennebec win his world title and let
57:10
Arislandi Lara and Carlos Admes let them fight each other,
57:20
and then there could be a third fight like it,
57:22
and then it could be the winner of both those
57:26
fights becomes undisputed, and then he can be undisputed again
57:31
and he can break all the history books. Yeah. Yeah,
57:40
so as Jennie Beck and in Canooley, Canoe Lie. He's
57:51
had seventeen fights, seventeen wins, twelve by an account, five
57:58
by decision, and I don't know any of the names
58:03
on his resume, right, So for the first the first nine, okay,
58:16
when did he win the world title? Returned one? All right?
58:20
He won the interim title and then it was dirt.
58:23
He was relegated or he was not relegated. He was
58:28
pushed up to the be the world champion.
58:33
Speaker 3: Hm.
58:36
Speaker 1: I wonder what he did. I don't really know him.
58:41
He began boxing at the age of six because of
58:44
his fathers and grandfathers loved the sport. And his first
58:49
fight was at six and he lost that match. So
58:54
I'm going to see the person he win retained the
58:57
w BA and IBF champion. So the last person Sneed
59:00
fought against was unbeaten. I still think. So, I don't
59:14
know this bloke, but he he was unbeaten and then
59:17
he got beat and Andreich who is Jenny Beck. He's
59:34
been beaten twice. Now, wow, so that wasn't good. But
59:38
I've noticed that some really big names in boxing in
59:42
the past. They go through periods on they go through
59:45
a losing period, a losing streak where they might lose
59:49
three or four in a row. So going from being
59:52
a world champion to losing a few and then go
59:57
back to being a world champion for another five years.
1:00:00
It's kind of strange the way it goes. Sometimes it's
1:00:06
not just about the physical, is it. It's about the
1:00:10
mentor as well, how the person is getting on in life,
1:00:15
how their life is going, how things are so now
1:00:20
I did not know this. The first WBO middleweight champion
1:00:27
was Doug DeWitt, and you know who the second one was,
1:00:33
Nigel Ben. Do you know who the third one was?
1:00:37
Chris hu Bank? Do you know who the fourth one was?
1:00:41
Gerald mclenan, the fifth one Chris Piet. A lot of
1:00:48
British fighters there, Nigel Ben, Chris hue Bank, Chris Piet,
1:00:56
Jason Matthews. Wow, I'm going to You've got geraldin Curnan,
1:01:04
Chris Pie, Steve Collins, Otis Grant Birch Shank. The thing
1:01:12
is they go about the first person to win all
1:01:18
four belts in the four belt era. The four belt
1:01:23
era has been around since the nineties, since the late eighties.
1:01:27
The problem is WBO was not recognized really as a
1:01:32
proper belt for a long time. It was recognized by
1:01:37
the champion, it was recognized by the country that had
1:01:41
that champion. But in America, for example, Nigel ben had
1:01:48
a WBO and he was a hero, as was Chris
1:01:51
Ubank in England. But people like Roy Jones Junior, and
1:01:58
they didn't seem to bother with that. I'm saying that,
1:02:02
like I know, maybe they did. I may be lying
1:02:08
to myself. Wow, Billy Joe Saunders was a WBO champion.
1:02:17
Demetrius Andreid What's happened to him? Because he I really
1:02:24
liked Dmetrius andred He's very, very skillful but at the
1:02:28
same time very frustrating for his opponents. And he was
1:02:36
a two weight world champion. I do believe he won
1:02:41
the middleweight championship. So he won the WA regular light
1:02:46
middleweight title. He won the WBO middleweight title. He retained
1:02:53
that and then light midweight. Okay, yeah, so it retained
1:03:04
that was it one, two, three, four, five, So he
1:03:09
had six fights and then the seventh fight he fought
1:03:13
David ben Vedez and he lost and that was for
1:03:16
the WBC Interim super middleweight title. I'm pretty sure he
1:03:23
the one before that was also at super middleweight, and
1:03:27
he hasn't fought since then. That's nearly two years ago. Wow,
1:03:35
that's really freaky. November twenty fifth, twenty twenty three. Yeah,
1:03:45
November twenty fifth, twenty fifth, two thy twenty three. On
1:03:58
November twenty fourth was when Luke left. So that was weird.
1:04:05
That must have I must have been in a weird
1:04:07
space to be watching the boxing that night. Wow, how strange.
1:04:16
Twenty three, twenty four, Yeah, BlimE me. So David Benevitees
1:04:23
is fighting in November. Is it a tenth? Is it
1:04:28
a tenth? I don't know. He's among my most favoritest boxes.
1:04:36
David Benevitez is this hasn't been a cute a Tuesday trivia,
1:04:43
isn't it? It's not been that. I don't know why.
1:04:47
I've got no idea. Really just didn't happen. David Benevitez
1:04:54
is so good. He's held world told, he's been a
1:05:00
super middleweight champion three times and he's now the Okay,
1:05:13
he is the light heavyweight champion of he got upgraded,
1:05:19
so he is oh okay. He has held the WBA
1:05:37
light Heavyweight title regular version since February twenty twenty five
1:05:42
and the WBC Light Heavyweight title since twenty twenty five.
1:05:48
April previously held the WBC Super Middleweight title twice between
1:05:54
twenty seventeen and twenty but he also held the interim
1:06:02
Super Midweight Championship, but he didn't get I suppose he
1:06:04
didn't get elevated to the full world title, so iClass
1:06:09
that is. I don't know. The problem is when a
1:06:15
boxer becomes unified or undisputed, rather they hog the belts
1:06:21
for far too long sometimes, and Canelo is one of those.
1:06:26
And David Benevitez was really should have been fighting for
1:06:35
for all the titles, and he was just stuck to
1:06:40
every point. I don't think. At one point Canelo said,
1:06:49
I don't want to fight another I'm doing the accident.
1:06:52
I don't want to fight another Mexican. He said, you
1:06:55
do want to fight another Mexican. And then when we
1:06:58
look at who he did fight, he fought quite a
1:07:01
few Mexicans, he was just like full of it. Really,
1:07:05
it's not that he's scared. I'm sure he's not scared
1:07:07
of anyone. But he David Benefita Benevertez is so good
1:07:19
and so he's fighting on the when is it he's fighting?
1:07:27
He's fighting are in November and he's fighting against Yard
1:07:41
Anthony Yard November the twenty second, and it's a quadruple header.
1:07:49
So this is going to be it's probably going to
1:07:52
be early hours and the more in but it's going
1:07:55
to be a big night and it's going to also
1:07:58
be I think I'd be in. That's the second time
1:08:05
that's gone past. It's going to be in Saudi Arabia
1:08:10
read so I'm gonna I'll be watching that. So now
1:08:18
I'll be looking forward to that. So you've got someone like, wow,
1:08:26
he's we beat everyone these four thirty fights, twenty four knockouts,
1:08:32
six by decision, and you're thinking God, and he's held
1:08:36
all those world titles and all those fights, and you've
1:08:40
got to think, wow, he must be getting on. He's
1:08:44
twenty eight years old and he's done a lot, isn't he?
1:08:55
So you say, how can you be that way? How
1:08:58
could he be the super middleweight champion and having lost
1:09:02
it if he's never lost a fight. Well, the first time,
1:09:08
I do believe was because he went partying after a fight,
1:09:12
got tested and he had some substance in his system,
1:09:16
and it wasn't a performance Hunts in substance. It was
1:09:19
a recreational having fun party in the substance. And he
1:09:24
got stripped of his title. And the second time because
1:09:29
he won the title back. The second time he lost
1:09:33
his title, it was on the scales because he came
1:09:35
in is too heavy. So he still went ahead with
1:09:39
a fight. I think he got fined probably a lot
1:09:42
of money, and even though he won the fight, he
1:09:47
lost the title. I might have got that the wrong
1:09:52
way around, but that's kind of what happened anyway, which
1:09:56
is just kind of kind of weird. One vacant WBC interim,
1:10:08
So one WBC and it's not given the information there
1:10:18
before five or okay speaking and I can't wait. Yeah,
1:10:31
so you'd be andraid. So he did knock him down
1:10:37
but got up. So I'm looking forward to that fight.
1:10:41
But Yard is a proper warrior, so he will he
1:10:46
don't mess around. He's he's it might be his time.
1:10:50
If he does win, it won't be on points, so
1:10:52
it will be a knockout. Well, this is the why
1:10:57
is a desk squeaking so much? I don't know. So
1:11:02
I'm gonna go to Caleb Plant because I think he's
1:11:05
retired now. I think he's he got beaten very concisely recently,
1:11:12
so I don't think he's gonna I don't know if
1:11:15
he'll fight again. But he thought David benefit Is, but
1:11:18
he also thought Canelo. So I'm going to go back
1:11:21
to Canelo. Let's see how many Mexicans is Canilo for?
1:11:25
That's what I want to know. You know what I don't.
1:11:30
I think it matters what anyone says about Canelo Alvarez.
1:11:36
What a record? Sixty eight fights, sixty three wins, thirty
1:11:41
nine knockouts, twenty four by decision, two draws, he's lost
1:11:46
three by decision, held so many world titles it's ridiculous.
1:11:53
He's been in how many world title fights? Has he
1:11:57
been in? Too many? I can't even count them. I can,
1:12:06
but I can't be bothered. But I want to go
1:12:09
and never look and see how many Mexicans he's fort
1:12:16
Satarians Crawford, not Mexican. William Skull not Mexican. Edgar Balanga,
1:12:24
So I don't think he's Mexican. Jamie Mungeir or MUNGOOI
1:12:30
I like to call him Mexican, so probably about three
1:12:37
years ago, two three years ago. I won't fight a Mexican.
1:12:42
I won't fight a fellow a Mexican. And then last
1:12:46
May he fought Jamie Mungoi and absolutely ridiculous, because you
1:13:00
know it's like, come on, Callen Smith, so to be fair,
1:13:06
and it looks at it he hasn't fought that many Mexicans.
1:13:10
Julius Caesar Selvez Mexican, and Michael Cotto Puerto Rican. James Kirkland,
1:13:27
I don't know Lara Cuban, Alfredo Ungulo Mexican. I won't
1:13:42
fight any Americans Mexicans, he says. Austin Trout, Okay, American.
1:13:49
I think Giosetto, josephs In American. Okase American, Shane Mosley Okay.
1:14:01
Kermit didn't really have a choice, did he, because he
1:14:08
was he send a kid to school named Kermit. He's
1:14:12
got no choice but to become a fighter. It's just
1:14:18
it's almost cruel, isn't it on a kid to do that?
1:14:26
Alfonso Mexican. Ryan Rhodes, Nope, but that was a full
1:14:33
world title. Matthew Hann loved more. Carlos Argentinian, Luciano Joe's Cotto.
1:14:48
I mean, it's it's really weird. We're going way way
1:14:51
down and he's still fighting for world chart championships, right.
1:14:55
So Leonardo Tyna, Carlos Serera, okay, Michael Rozales, nothing coming up?
1:15:05
Gonzalez Dominican? Is that is the same as Mexico, Carlos Adan, Miquel,
1:15:16
Miguel Vanquez Mexican. I won't fight any Mexicans, he says,
1:15:25
Miguel Fanquis Mexican. So I think he was telling Porky's
1:15:34
to be fair. He fought mcguel and Fanquist twice, did he?
1:15:40
Oh ah, that's interesting. He fought Miguel Angel Vanquis Bastista
1:15:55
in two thousand and eight. Lastly, but he actually went
1:15:58
and won the IBF lightwe Lightweight Titley ten to twenty fourteen.
1:16:07
Isn't that interesting to me? I just want to go
1:16:14
back and just have a little look. Wow, loads loads
1:16:21
of losses, BlimE me. Fifty six fights, twelve losses, forty
1:16:28
four wins, seventeen by knockout decision, twenty seven knocked out,
1:16:34
knocked out three times, nine times he's lost by decision,
1:16:38
so a lot of losses. Later on in his career.
1:16:43
I mean, he's thirty eight and he called l titty
1:16:50
tit error t tear the puppet again. I don't know
1:16:55
what this is all about, Kermit the puppet. So he
1:17:03
started his career first, his very first fight was against
1:17:09
Canelo Alvarez and he lost split decision his very first fight. Wow,
1:17:20
that wasn't fair, was it. Can you imagine that going
1:17:23
through your whole careers that I lost my fast first
1:17:25
fight and then five six years later, feeling a bit rubbish,
1:17:31
you realize that you'd actually lost your first fight to
1:17:35
one of the greatest boxes of our generation, the great
1:17:40
one of the greatest champions, possibly of all time, so Christian.
1:17:46
So he won quite a few fights after that. He
1:17:50
lost to Timife Bradley and this is for the youth
1:17:54
light weight world to weight title and Timify Bradley beat
1:18:00
Pecqiao and went on to the world title and this
1:18:02
great fighter. Then he fought Canal Alvarez again in his
1:18:07
twenty four fight, lost again, and they went on a
1:18:11
winning streak. So basically he went on a winning streak
1:18:15
from losing to Canalo Wilvarez on his very first fight,
1:18:19
then his twentieth fight after winning all the other fights,
1:18:22
he loses to another future world champion, Timothy Bradley, and
1:18:28
then he wins all his fights until he fights against
1:18:30
Canal Alvarez again, who's still not a world champion champion
1:18:34
at this point, but not in not at this point,
1:18:39
he's not anyway he might have been a world champion
1:18:41
previous a different weight. And then he wins all his
1:18:45
fights again until he wins the world title. So he
1:18:52
wins the title twenty ten and he defends it one two, three, four, four, five, six, seven, eight,
1:19:03
eight times or nine times, but loses in the ninth defense,
1:19:11
wins again, loses, wins, wins, wins, wins, loses, wins, loses, wins, loses, loses.
1:19:18
So he's he's kind of on a I'm guessing he's
1:19:23
retired now. Fourth of February two thousand and twenty three
1:19:27
was the last one he fought, and he lost two
1:19:30
in a rows, so that that's kind of the end
1:19:32
of his career, I'm pretty sure. But five years as
1:19:36
a world champion, it's something pretty amazing. And I'm thinking,
1:19:42
you imagine if he hadn't fought Canal Alvarez twice and
1:19:48
Timothy Bradley, would he have gone on to win the
1:19:53
world title. So he lost those three fights, but they
1:19:59
were to two great fighters. So the experience he would
1:20:06
have got from that and learned from that put him
1:20:09
in good stead to go on in a big winning
1:20:11
streak and to win the world title and to defend
1:20:15
it eight times including Breeders Bred Scott. Yeah, because he's
1:20:31
the first person he knocked out Amir Khan. That's why
1:20:36
he was well known. That's what put him on the map. Really,
1:20:41
I would say so in two thousand and eight Amir Khan,
1:20:46
they fought suppressed Scott was supposed to just be not
1:20:52
a rollover, but it wasn't supposed to be a hard
1:20:54
fight for Amir Khan, who was the future of boxing,
1:21:00
very much a hero in this country. So that was
1:21:04
weird because, yeah, he fought Amy Khan. Everyone expected him
1:21:07
to well, I guess he didn't and his fans didn't.
1:21:10
But you know, Ami Khan's fans expected him to win,
1:21:16
and he got knocked out in the first round, but
1:21:22
am Kahn came back and won other you know, he'd
1:21:29
he won world titles, so it was just one of
1:21:31
those things. But wow, it's a big shock actually, I mean,
1:21:41
I think even Predispresscott was a bit shocked, a bit surprised, like,
1:21:46
what's happened? Well, you've just won more oh see see,
1:21:52
So maybe not a lot of losses though lost, but
1:21:59
he's lost to a lot of big names though. Terrence Crawford,
1:22:04
Robert Garcia said, Robin has Roberto Garcia, Robert roberta and okay,
1:22:14
I can't okay some people anyway, Terrence Crawford, Mike Alvarado,
1:22:25
Kevin Mitchell, Humberto Toledo. In his next fight, he got
1:22:34
bitten by his opponent. That's the thing. I bet they
1:22:41
took this fight on for Amir Khan because pretty much
1:22:45
everyone on his resume were kind of unknown, so they thought, well, okay,
1:22:52
he's had nineteen wins, but we don't know any of
1:22:53
the people. So then he fights at Manchester Arena on
1:22:59
septem the six, two thousand and eight and gets killed baby,
1:23:06
and then everything seems to go downhill from there. So again,
1:23:16
didn't really do the Tuesday trivia Tuesday thing? Did I today?
1:23:21
I suppose trivia chuesda. I could be talking about boxing.
1:23:25
I suppose, couldn't it boxing? But not really? I mean yeah, really,
1:23:30
but not really being trivia as such. Oh well, so
1:23:37
I'm going to go. Thank you for listening. Remember to
1:23:40
be kind to yourself, because you do deserve to be happy,
1:23:46
Be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe, lots
1:23:52
of love. Bye. Relax in a more deep and meaningful way,
1:24:15
maybe in a way that can not just allow you
1:24:20
to feel calmer now and throughout the time we spend
1:24:31
together here, not just relaxed at the end of the
1:24:39
recording when it's finished and you can enjoy that sense
1:24:44
of comfort and peace, but also I think it would
1:25:01
be nice to have those feelings of relaxation continue for
1:25:17
longer after the recording has ended, so that you can
1:25:30
still benefit from listening to my voice, maybe in a
1:25:41
few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly,
1:25:57
especially if you find like some people do, and myself
1:26:01
as well. Sometimes I find one particular recording that really
1:26:08
resonates with me, and I just listen to it over
1:26:15
and over again every morning, every evening. There was this
1:26:28
recording from We're going back to about nineteen ninety nine.
1:26:35
It wasn't hypnosis, but it was a guided visualizations. It
1:26:41
kind of was hypnosis really, and I managed to find
1:26:48
it again and it still has the same effect on me.
1:26:55
And part of it was person's voice relaxed me, just
1:27:09
felt so peaceful, and I'd look forward to listening to
1:27:16
her in the morning and in the evening. And I
1:27:28
knew before even pressing the play button that since I've
1:27:37
done that, pressed the play button. This is in the
1:27:42
days of CD players, pressed the play button. I fact,
1:27:56
it might have even been a tape tape recorder. I'd
1:28:00
lie down on the bed and then even without necessarily
1:28:11
listening to her words because I had them memorized. Really,
1:28:27
it was as if my body knew exactly what to do,
1:28:37
and the muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation and
1:28:59
direct Remember, my mind would slow down. Now Now, I
1:29:13
was listening to this recording in the early days of
1:29:20
learning hypnosis, and long before I ever made any videos
1:29:31
or audio recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that
1:29:35
till two thousand and six, I knew, I knew how
1:29:52
helpful I found being able to just let go, to
1:30:05
have that trust in the person that I'm listening to,
1:30:18
knowing that it's going to be just as relaxing, if
1:30:26
not more so. Each time you hear my voice, you
1:30:36
may feel the same. Some people have been listening to
1:30:48
me for over a decade, maybe not so solidly, obviously
1:31:01
not twenty four hours a day, but maybe people come back.
1:31:10
Some people maybe listen every day. That's something that I
1:31:25
do which you may not realize by listening, is when
1:31:41
I record these recordings. Now. For example, I also am
1:31:57
affected by the word that I say. So if I
1:32:11
said to you, focus on your feet, notice your feet relaxing,
1:32:22
I will be focusing on my feet. I will be
1:32:30
noticing my feet relaxing. If I said, focus on your hands,
1:32:50
and maybe notice the difference between each hand. Perhaps no,
1:33:00
it is the the air in the room, the temperature
1:33:06
of the room. On the backs of your hands, you
1:33:18
may start to notice what almost feels like a very
1:33:22
light breeze, even though there may not be any type
1:33:30
of breeze at all where you are right now. And
1:33:43
as you become aware of your hands, I'm also aware
1:33:57
of how relaxed my hands are feeling now. And when
1:34:23
it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which may
1:34:30
be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy when
1:34:46
I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.
1:35:07
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing,
1:35:25
and then I carry on talking. And it's only when
1:35:34
I listen back to do the editing I hear snoring,
1:35:45
and I think, I don't remember snoring. I remember talking.
1:35:55
This snoring was a pig turned up. That's why I
1:36:02
sound like when I snore. How I get really into
1:36:11
the whole experience. I don't know how you feel. How
1:36:30
relaxed do you feel in your feet, How relaxed you
1:36:41
feel in your hands. I have noticed more and more
1:37:08
that the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel,
1:37:24
the easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional
1:37:43
muscle relaxation. So this allows you to breathe easier without
1:38:06
necessarily focusing on your breath, however, being able to notice
1:38:37
the ease in which you breathe so naturally. You breathe
1:39:07
so very easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving,
1:39:57
when I've got my eyes closed, I tend to visualize
1:40:12
a beautiful field with trees and flowers producing all that
1:40:29
life giving oxygen. It feels nice to, if nothing else,
1:41:05
just taking some time away from everything, enjoying that feeling
1:41:39
of peace, serenity with a joyful heart. Time seems to
1:42:30
just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed, so deeply, peaceful,
1:43:15
completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free,
1:44:24
noticing that your mind has slowed down. Slowed down because
1:45:16
nothing really requires your attention. You can enjoy the physical
1:45:45
sensations of allowing the stress to rip out of your body,
1:46:03
to appear out of every part of your body, and
1:46:26
being released from your brain in your mind slowly, really
1:47:04
but surely, the muscle thingles relax rs R so very deeply,
1:48:00
rects so deeply, and the feelings, the pleasant feelings in
1:48:31
your arms and shoulders, deepening each part of your body
1:48:59
further and deeper and deeper. Noticin the feelings in the
1:49:37
back of your neck, I feelings in your wrists, muscles,
1:50:39
in front of your body, I allsay, feeling peaceful deeply.
1:51:34
There's a sense of peace spreads through your very core.
1:52:14
Even when you focus on your mind, your mind becomes
1:52:42
bef and slower, even deeper, relaxing, so very slow his
1:54:04
stomach peace, For in your stomach you'rek back. Notice it
1:55:00
is how relaxed you now feel in the hole of
1:55:18
your back in spy from your brain all the way
1:55:51
down the middle of your back, sending and to receive
1:56:00
in millions of messages every day, deepcomfort, increasing deeply relaxed,
1:57:04
your knees, les, spreading these signals down a spine or
1:57:39
cord into air. Every part of your body, your shins,
1:58:02
and your half muscles were outbows. Feelings of peace and
1:58:53
tranquility spreading through your body, tips of your toes, to
1:59:11
your eyes, your fingers, all the way till your lower back.
1:59:25
Speaker 3: Mhm.
1:59:35
Speaker 1: The tinger Rea, the tinker peace, drifting mind just wandering.
2:00:38
Speaker 5: Away, happy to let go, let go.
2:01:00
Speaker 1: Lately, let go, so tranquil, the whole body enjoy a
2:02:00
sensor listing go he eph more pece, enjoying the space,
2:04:24
this space of peace and safety.
2:04:57
Speaker 6: So fary, Hey, y, letting go.
2:06:54
Speaker 1: Maybe we can just focus on the different parts of
2:07:02
your body, just to notice your forehead and your eyes mutual,
2:08:16
so loose, noticing the sense of complete freedom, absolute freedom. Yes, y,
2:10:09
peace for energy, peace to breathe so much easier. Yes,
2:11:56
you may have I may not have noticed your mind
2:12:08
drifting peaceful, moveingly, even more deeply in the direction of
2:13:15
total blissful peace, blissful, peace terrefting out to pace. Come
2:15:16
so calm, let him go peace with mind rexed fury,
2:16:29
so relax c rexed. Your body feels almost invisible, so
2:17:27
very relaxed. I'm peaceful, so peace m h like's fair.
2:18:46
And you could start to notice that you are feeling
2:18:53
more relaxed, even though if not purposely focused your mind
2:19:05
upon that sense of physical comfort that is growing within
2:19:13
you throughout your body, and your mind starts to slow down,
2:19:27
and that could be almost in recognition of I guess
2:19:34
my speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally
2:19:49
feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice, yourself an
2:20:01
opportunity to take a break from the day, take a
2:20:09
break from your life as it is, and to give
2:20:17
yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take some time
2:20:25
off and to allow your body to relax and allow
2:20:33
your mind to slow down, which in turn releases the
2:20:43
tension and he stresses that you had in your body.
2:20:54
It's almost as if the parts of your body just
2:20:58
open up, allowing the negativity out and at the same
2:21:10
time replacing that negativity with positive heathing energy, which then
2:21:21
fills your body up and your mind to also starts
2:21:30
to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling,
2:21:50
positive healing, an energy that spread through your body like
2:22:04
a wave of comfort, and all this comes and just
2:22:18
allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however
2:22:27
long you want it to be, to just rest and
2:22:37
allow your mind and your body to almost reset itself
2:22:49
to the settings of comfort and relaxation. Can't almness, which
2:23:05
allows more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to
2:23:18
move around your body and into your mind, almost as
2:23:28
if your mind and your body are sinking together, almost
2:23:37
mirroring each other, with that growing positivity and calmness. And
2:23:51
it feels nice. It really does feel nice to know
2:23:59
that you are the one that has allowed yourself to
2:24:08
feel more comfort and to experience more of this deep
2:24:22
relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus on
2:24:39
each part of your body, you can notice that that
2:24:45
part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.
2:25:01
It becomes even more calm and comfortable, just by focusing.
2:25:15
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,
2:25:24
the parts that you've already focused on will continue to
2:25:30
relax deeply. And those parts that we've not yet focused
2:25:38
on were just automatically release any remain intention in anticipation
2:25:52
of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm gonna
2:26:05
start by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware of
2:26:12
the feelings of your forehead and any background sounds like
2:26:23
mister Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to feel
2:26:28
even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment. This
2:26:38
isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.
2:26:47
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature
2:26:53
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just
2:27:04
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus
2:27:14
only on my voice and that part of your body.
2:27:24
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing
2:27:35
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at
2:27:44
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes
2:27:51
relaxing completely. Moving focus down to your mouth, your lips,
2:28:06
your tongue, your teeth, and your gums, the whole of
2:28:13
your mouth relaxing, calm and loose. As you focus now
2:28:28
on your jaw, not just the parts of your jaw
2:28:35
near your mouth, your chin, but all the way up
2:28:41
the size of your face to your ears, that hole
2:28:47
of your jaw feeding more relaxed and calm. Focusing on
2:29:15
your neck, the front of your neck and your throat
2:29:22
relaxing and loose and calm. The side of your neck,
2:29:35
the right and left side of your neck relax and
2:29:44
loose and calm, and now the back of your neck.
2:30:01
Focus in on the back of your neck, letting go
2:30:10
of any tension that may have been there before, and
2:30:17
enjoying that sense of increasing comfort and release that you
2:30:31
can experience in the back of your neck. Moving down
2:30:42
your back and moving either side of your spine right
2:30:49
from the top of.
2:30:50
Speaker 3: Your back.
2:30:53
Speaker 1: All the way down to the bottom of your back,
2:31:02
down to your lower back. And as you move up
2:31:14
and down your spine, you can feel the muscles either
2:31:23
side of your spine relaxing even more. And as those
2:31:36
muscles relax, that sense of comfort starts to spread outwards
2:31:47
from your spine into both sides of your back, the
2:31:57
top of your back, the middle or end your lower back.
2:32:04
And as you scan gently and slowly up and down
2:32:12
your back, there's the muscles in the top of your
2:32:17
back relax and become looser. The muscles in the middle
2:32:27
of your back also seem to just almost divide from
2:32:34
each other, separating and almost melting, and in your lower
2:32:48
back it seems to be an extra special feeling of comfort.
2:33:04
The spreads into your hips, sit down your lower back,
2:33:11
into your hips, into the area where your cocksicks are,
2:33:22
and into your buttocks, and all those muscles that spread
2:33:31
from your lower back into your hip area start to melt,
2:33:45
start to really let go. I don't even know where about.
2:33:58
To focus on your sho shoulders, your back, and your
2:34:03
spine will continue to let go, continue to relax so calmly.
2:34:26
And as you focus on your shoulders, you may notice
2:34:32
that they're already feeling really loose. They're already feeding, calm
2:35:02
and fearing. Those muscles then move from your neck into
2:35:15
your shoulders. Feel so soft and gentle, so smooth and calm,
2:35:52
and the feeling in your shoulders seens to spread deep
2:36:05
into your shoulders, that sense of relaxation, not just traveling
2:36:15
deeply into your muscles, but also relaxing the bones and
2:36:32
moving all away to underneath your arms, relaxing that whole
2:36:41
area between the tops of your shoulders and underneath your arms.
2:36:51
He then you feel so relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders,
2:37:10
which sends that deep healing message into your arms. You
2:37:32
may feel almost as if your arms are not even there,
2:37:39
because they're so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so so calm,
2:38:16
so loose, not feeling spreading all the way down your arms,
2:38:41
two elbows, including your elbows mm hmm, circumforts spreads or
2:39:07
away into your rests of forearments and your rests being
2:39:24
so heavy yet at the same time so light and gentle.
2:40:09
Fred you see.
2:40:12
Speaker 3: Now on.
2:40:16
Speaker 1: Your hands, my hands, so peaceful in your hands. There's
2:41:10
a sense of real peace. It just seems to I
2:41:33
feel so familiar when your hands relax deeply els you
2:42:11
thing is you things, sadly you thinger tips. Moving your
2:43:49
attention to the front, to your body, so comfortable, Move
2:44:19
in your focus to your legs. Why my sous in
2:45:45
your thighs, your knees, so relaxed, a carved mussels and
2:46:39
just chance copresly four and the feathing your feats, sir, peaceful,
2:48:58
so calm, say peaceful, sircom so peaceful, syclm, so peace
2:49:57
for RelA, sin peace for so calm, loving that deep relaxation,
2:50:32
to spread your chest in your stomach, so RelA, letting
2:50:49
go of everything. So I'm going to start counting down
2:51:07
now from twenty down to one. You can imagine in
2:51:19
a way it's like just walking down some steps and
2:51:24
each step or twenty steps, and each step represents a
2:51:30
level of comfort. Each step represents a deepening of that comfort,
2:51:50
and the furvies you walk down those steps that are
2:51:56
deeper and more relaxed you feel. So starting with number
2:52:07
twenty twenty nineteen, eighteen seventeen, siksting eight fourteen four see
2:58:45
too well five five nine hey seven four five four
3:08:16
four two one No. As you focus on your eyes,
3:13:01
We're going to count down from ten down to one,
3:13:11
focusing just on your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles around
3:13:20
your eyes, your eye walls themselves, our whole area that
3:13:32
makes up your eye. And as we count down from
3:13:46
ten down to one, whilst focus in on your eyes,
3:14:00
you'll become twice is relaxed with each number counting down
3:14:15
that you may find the all you want to do
3:14:23
is just drift off to sleep. And if that's what
3:14:32
you want, then just allow yourself to do that. Now,
3:14:48
focusing on your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down
3:14:56
from ten down to one. Right now, ten nine thy
3:17:06
seven four, five four three.
3:22:40
Speaker 7: Two one.
3:24:15
Speaker 1: So counting down from ten to one ten nine, eight,
3:24:35
seven six five four three two.
3:24:51
Speaker 3: One.
3:24:59
Speaker 1: And maybe that a bit too quick in order to relax.
3:25:03
Maybe it's a bit too fast for you to notice
3:25:08
the calming of your body, maybe even a little bit
3:25:16
of pressure there, Like you're counting down from ten to one.
3:25:20
Would you expect me to do man, expect me to
3:25:24
stick gold floppy just because you're counting down. We could
3:25:34
try it again, but this time I go. It's lower
3:25:40
this time, as you focus on the whole of your
3:25:45
body before we focus on your legs. Just notice how
3:25:53
your body does start to feel more relaxed with every
3:26:07
number that I count down ten nine eight, seven, six
3:26:49
five four three two one. And just notice how how
3:27:58
you feel generally, how you bought it feels. It's not
3:28:07
necessarily even about counting down from ten to one. It's
3:28:18
that space that you have, that space between being active
3:28:38
physically or mentally to just sitting or lying down, just
3:28:48
being there, not doing anything, not saying anything, or needing
3:28:54
to think about anything. So that opens up a space,
3:29:00
you know, a bit of a space, a gap. And
3:29:09
the more I came down from ten to one, the
3:29:14
bigger that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness,
3:29:23
of comfort, relaxation. It's a nice feeling and it moves
3:29:41
those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them away.
3:29:57
Allows you to just slow down, someone to count again
3:30:10
from ten down to one, and notice that gap widening,
3:30:19
the gap, And as it widens, it's almost like the
3:30:25
stress and attention falls into the gap and gives you
3:30:42
that distance, that space. Now ten nine, eight, seven, six,
3:31:38
five four three two.
3:32:43
Speaker 3: One.
3:32:55
Speaker 1: How did you work? Body? Feel? Now? Can you notice
3:33:15
that you feeling calmer, the feeling more relaxed as we
3:33:53
now focus on your legs, just your legs. We're just
3:34:13
gonna start with focusing on your thighs. Of course, it's
3:34:33
not the most exciting thing to be doing because I'm sure,
3:34:42
like most of your body is not a lot going
3:34:45
on right now. Just focusing on the whole of your thighs,
3:35:00
the tops of your thighs, the sides of your thighs,
3:35:06
the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs, and your
3:35:11
inner thighs. Basically the whole of your thigh that leads
3:35:17
into your hip and it goes down to your knee joint. Now,
3:35:33
this is a big area, it's a very heavy area,
3:35:40
it's very strong. Probably the strongest muscles in your body
3:35:47
are in your thighs. But I don't think we perhaps
3:36:03
give enough attention to our thighs. Perhaps we don't acknowledge
3:36:17
how important our thighs are to our lives, how much
3:36:39
they actually do for us all through our lives. And
3:36:52
it may seem to sound really weird, but I think
3:36:58
that all of our body parts, especially our thighs, need
3:37:05
some TLC, a bit of love shown, a bit of acknowledgement.
3:37:22
I thank you gratitude for what our thighs do for us.
3:37:38
And I know this may sound a bit strange. Maybe
3:37:44
you think, why am I surely how I should be
3:37:47
out in the garden hugging a tree or something. Well,
3:37:55
it's hard to set a microphone up on a tree.
3:37:59
That's what I'm doing indoors. Otherwise I would be outside
3:38:02
hugging a tree. Now I can't see the television from
3:38:05
the tree if you move down to your knees, getting
3:38:16
such an important part, and I think we don't necessarily
3:38:26
I'll speak for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate all
3:38:33
that my knees do for me until I have a
3:38:38
problem with my knee. It's occasionally if I ever maybe
3:38:43
i'll pash it or it's aching for some reason. It's
3:38:49
then that I realize how much it does. You know,
3:38:55
the benefit of being able to use my legs without
3:39:03
any kind of physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's
3:39:10
possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You know that's comfort.
3:39:23
But as you focus on your knees, regardless of how
3:39:28
your knees feel, you can have that sense of gratitude
3:39:37
and love to your knees for all that they do
3:39:39
for you. And you can still have that attention on
3:39:53
your thighs and maybe notice how your thighs feel, maybe no,
3:40:00
notice that they are relaxing more deeply as you focus
3:40:17
now on the bottoms of your legs, your shins, and
3:40:23
your calf muscles and the bones between your knees and
3:40:29
your feet, incorporating of course, your ankles so important. Anyone
3:40:43
that's had even like the slightest sprain of an ankle
3:40:49
knows how how much we take our ankles for granted.
3:41:01
And it's kind of strange in a way when you
3:41:03
think that you know logically our wrists are a lot
3:41:09
thinner than the rest of our arms, which is okay,
3:41:14
it doesn't can't see any problem with that because we're
3:41:18
just picking stuff up. But our ankles so much thinner
3:41:26
than the rest of our legs, and from a physics
3:41:34
perspective or logical even it doesn't really make sense that
3:41:40
all this weight would ultimately be resting on your ankles
3:41:49
then leading to your feet. That thin area, thin bone. Yeah,
3:42:03
it does so much great work. Supports us, supports our
3:42:08
body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, It helps
3:42:20
you to get her around and be mobile. Then there's
3:42:33
the calf muscles. Of course, when I was younger, I
3:42:41
couldn't see the point in calf muscles. I didn't seem
3:42:44
to do anything. Okay, if I walked around on tiptoes,
3:42:50
then my calf muscles get some work. But of course
3:42:54
that's not true. The calf muscles are being used whenever
3:42:58
we use her legs and your shins there to protect
3:43:12
your lower legs, shaped in a way almost as a
3:43:21
protector for the bone, leading of course to your ankles
3:43:36
and your feet. But we're not going to focus on
3:43:43
your feet. We're just going to focus on the legs.
3:43:47
I realize that now that I've mentioned your feet, it
3:43:52
probably focuses on them anyway. For maybe I should focus
3:43:57
on your feet a little bit. You can have them
3:44:03
in your awareness the same as you have your thighs
3:44:09
in your awareness. Even though we haven't been focusing on
3:44:13
your thighs for a few minutes, that be focusing on
3:44:18
your ankles, there's still that sensation of comfort in your thighs,
3:44:40
and there's that movement of energy because the thighs hold
3:44:50
lots of different sensations. Of course, there's the muscles, the
3:44:55
big straw muscles that we have in our thighs, but
3:45:08
the skin on the outside of the thighs, as in
3:45:14
the outside of all of our body, can be very sensitive,
3:45:24
sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature, and inside your
3:45:37
thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's the blood, vessels,
3:45:44
the arch trees, all this stuff that's inside your thighs.
3:45:55
And I guess sometimes it'd be nice if you could
3:45:58
actually put your fingers inside your thighs and a message.
3:46:06
You can message on the outside, of course, but to
3:46:09
be able to get deep into the muscles and to
3:46:12
be able to just massage inside your thighs, message in
3:46:18
the bones of your leg massage in all the veins
3:46:26
and just gently healing your thighs, and you could move
3:46:37
down messaging inside your knees. Just message in those bones,
3:46:45
but with healing fingertips, spreading that healing energy deep into
3:46:52
the joints of your knees. Of course, there's the back
3:47:02
of your your knee, you know, the inside crease where
3:47:07
your knee is. It's a very sensitive area. Very it
3:47:15
feels very nice when you stroke it. That might be
3:47:19
because it's an area that's not really touched very often.
3:47:25
It's almost like a hidden part, that crease in your legs.
3:47:32
It's almost.
3:47:34
Speaker 3: It's like a.
3:47:35
Speaker 1: Part that has a sensitivity, which is a little bit different.
3:47:48
Of course, it's protected by your legs. So you can
3:47:58
imagine putting your fingers into that crease in your legs,
3:48:09
that fold in between your legs. You can just message
3:48:13
with your fingertips. Imagine your fingertips going inside, massage in
3:48:20
the muscle tissue. You can of course field the bones
3:48:30
of your knees, heading through your fingertips, and then as
3:48:42
you go down to your calf muscles. Now that's the
3:48:47
part i'd like to be able to really put my
3:48:51
fingertips deep inside my calf muscles, massage in every angle
3:49:01
tissue of that muscle, healing every part, and then doing
3:49:13
the same for my shins, massage in and gently stroking
3:49:20
the bones, gently stroking them, healing in a loving way,
3:49:28
because they deserve to be treated as the precious bones
3:49:34
that they are, Because our legs are so precious as
3:49:39
in all the other parts of our body, and more
3:49:44
precious than any jure on the planet. When you start
3:49:58
to think about your legs in this way, it can
3:50:10
change your perspective. It might sound a bit a bit
3:50:20
silly to start with the idea of having love for
3:50:26
your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting to be
3:50:35
able to put your hands in your thighs and massage
3:50:42
the muscles and the bones, and to get your fingers
3:50:48
deep in there, releasing all tension, just to show how
3:50:58
much you care about your legs, how what you care
3:51:06
for what your legs do for you regularly, your knees,
3:51:14
your calves, your ankles, the strength of your ankles, considering
3:51:27
how thin they are compared to the rest of your legs,
3:51:32
especially your thighs, yet they're so strong, so flexible, absolutely
3:51:46
amazing things. Your ankles are truly a gift because of
3:51:58
what they do for you, supporting all that weight. Regardless
3:52:09
of how what weight you are, even if you only
3:52:13
ate stone, there's still a lot of weight for these
3:52:19
little ankles. Now I'm a lot heavier than each stone
3:52:27
double down, yet my ankles support my body all the time.
3:52:40
Although they do give off a sigh of relief when
3:52:43
I sit down at my whole legs do my feet
3:52:53
feet also go and my toes clap. We're so happy.
3:53:18
Your legs really are amazing. And I know that talk
3:53:28
about talking about your legs is probably possibly among the
3:53:34
most most boring things I've ever heard anyone say. Possibly
3:53:43
you're boring or not. Everything I said is true. Your
3:53:50
legs are amazing. Your legs deserve not just respect, they
3:54:10
deserve to relax deeply. They deserve to take some time
3:54:23
out of the day to just let go completely. Your
3:54:47
legs really can relax. And because the legs are so
3:55:06
such a most you know, very important part of your body.
3:55:12
When you relax your legs, the rest of your body
3:55:15
also naturally follows in that journey of comfort. I can
3:55:34
feel it in my hips, my hips, feel really loose,
3:55:42
and also in my lower back as well. My lower
3:55:46
back really feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just
3:55:52
sitting in a chair and there's no stretching as far
3:55:58
as I'm aware that I'm doing. It's almost as if
3:56:01
the muscles are just relaxed so much that there is
3:56:06
a natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot.
3:56:30
And I'm now going to count down from ten down
3:56:34
to one, and you can continue to feel wonderfully relaxed.
3:56:49
Ten nine eight seven six, five four three two one relax.
3:57:40
So I'm just going to count down five down to one,
3:57:45
and as a countdown, if you just focus on the numbers,
3:57:51
just the numbers counting down, and notice how you feel
3:58:02
in this moment as you hear the numbers counting down,
3:58:07
knowing that those numbers counting down represent you feeling calmer,
3:58:21
not just in your body, but also relaxing your mind.
3:58:30
Just notice how you feel. There's nothing to do, there's
3:58:35
nothing to say, there's nothing to think about, starting with
3:58:44
number five, four three two one. Now, as you notice
3:59:36
the gradual letting go the tension in your body, you
3:59:47
may also begin to notice and be aware of how
3:59:53
your mind is starting to slow down. This is just
4:00:02
a natural thing that happens. It's not really a special procedure.
4:00:12
It's just natural because as your body relaxes, your mind
4:00:17
also starts to relax, and the more your mind relaxes,
4:00:23
the more your body relaxes. It's just a continuous circle
4:00:28
of relaxation. And there is that calmness that comes from
4:00:40
relative quietness. You know, even even if there's background sounds
4:00:47
either your side or mind, it's still going to be
4:00:54
quite calm. You know, you haven't got the television on,
4:00:58
there's no music in the background unless you're listening to
4:01:03
the recording with music. Of course, you're very likely not
4:01:11
going to be sitting in a room with other people.
4:01:14
Of course you might be, but generally it's more ideal
4:01:18
if you can do this on your own, so no distractions,
4:01:29
and when you stop thinking about stuff, relaxation automatically rises.
4:01:45
A sense of comfort starts to grow, and without trying
4:01:56
to build it up into something fantastical or something magical,
4:02:07
this is just a natural process, something that's easy to accomplish.
4:02:20
In fact, it's almost you know, the sense of relaxing
4:02:25
completely happens really when you put no effort into it.
4:02:31
It's not something that you can really force. It's something
4:02:37
that happens naturally. And part of the process of this
4:02:48
recording and others is simply two allow you to take
4:03:00
advantage of this space this time, to just let go,
4:03:18
to just be here, to be in tune with how
4:03:27
you feel, yet with the intention of wanting to relax
4:03:40
deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending on what
4:03:52
it is that you wish for yourself in this moment.
4:04:05
As we know, relaxing is the majority of the process
4:04:14
of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep part is a
4:04:20
tiny bit at the end. The deeper relaxed you become,
4:04:31
the easier you find yourself drifting. You can also, if
4:04:49
you choose stay focused on my voice and really enjoy
4:05:06
the process of gradually relaxing each muscle in your body
4:05:35
effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting go completely.
4:06:10
This time, I'm going to count from six down to one,
4:06:19
and you can notice your mind calming down more with
4:06:28
each number that you hear me say, naturally, feeling calm
4:06:42
and slow and peaceful. Six, five, four, three, two, one,
4:09:42
being aware of tell your mind to slow right down,
4:09:55
sinking deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind,
4:10:18
you may notice that there are some thoughts still there,
4:10:31
maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need
4:10:40
your attention. That's what you can do is send love
4:10:56
to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love, like all
4:11:10
petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them, petals
4:11:15
filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those thoughts
4:11:23
know that you're not abandoned in them. You just need them.
4:11:31
You require them to just calm down, slow down, quiet
4:11:42
down for now. So as you focus on those remaining thoughts,
4:12:00
to count down this time from seven down to one.
4:12:05
With each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness,
4:12:21
gratitude over those thoughts, which will allow them to just
4:12:34
melt away and relax deeply. With every number, those thoughts
4:12:49
will become more and more relaxed, starting with number seven, six, five, four, three,
4:14:57
two one. I need him now. Notice how relaxed you're
4:15:45
feeling in your body. We can't focus on your hands,
4:16:11
because the more relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed
4:16:17
your body and mind are. And you focus on your
4:16:39
hands and your fingers, there's nothing needed to be done.
4:16:50
There's no clenching of fists or tents in the fingers
4:16:55
or anything like that. It's just noticing and focusing on
4:17:09
your hands, noticing how they feel. Because the more relaxed
4:17:37
your hands feel, the calmer your mind feels, and the
4:17:47
more comfort you feel throughout your body. You may have
4:18:11
already noticed your mind is starting to dressed fahim, just
4:18:54
on your hands and fingers, allowing them to experience a
4:19:12
real deepening of that relaxation in your hands and fingers,
4:19:26
more and more relaxed. With each number from eight down
4:19:48
to one, you can almost feel that healing and relaxing
4:20:01
energy spreading into your hands and fingers, becoming yell more
4:20:20
relaxing with each number you hear, going down from eight
4:20:36
down to one, drifting, drifting again, starting with number eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two,
4:24:53
just being here now, nothing to think of about, nothing
4:25:02
to do, nothing to say, and everything just feels calmer.
4:25:18
And this is your natural state of being. This is
4:25:25
how you just normally feel when you take away all
4:25:32
that other stuff that we add, you know, things like
4:25:39
stress and worrying and overthinking and anxiety, tension, just generally
4:25:55
thinking about stuff. When you take that our way, which
4:26:01
is what we do what we do. Now, you're left
4:26:11
with a real sense of peacefulness which comes to you
4:26:22
very quickly, because ultimately it's just a feeling, a feeling
4:26:37
of comfort. It's almost as if you've gone inside yourself
4:26:44
and you've found a special place where everything is peaceful,
4:26:59
a place where where you can feel relaxed and your
4:27:04
natural sense of comfort, a place where you can be you,
4:27:17
where you can accept yourself for who you are, a
4:27:24
place where you're not trying to please anybody else ever,
4:27:35
a place where you can actually not just love yourself,
4:27:44
but in some ways more importantly, you can like yourself
4:27:51
appreciate who you are. That sense of gratitude is in
4:28:09
the air all around you. That's also a place where
4:28:20
you can actually feel the healing energy soaking into your body.
4:28:37
Healing energy soaking into your body, and that healing energy
4:28:49
spreads through your veins, traveling to each and every single
4:28:59
part heart of your body, and you start to realize
4:29:10
that actually that healing energy it's not just entered into
4:29:17
your brain, it's become part of your brain, and that
4:29:29
spinal fluid is now mixed with healing energy, not just
4:29:43
allowing you to feel so much more relaxed and healthy
4:29:51
in this moment. But also you start to realize to actually,
4:30:05
what's happening now with that healing, relaxing energy spreading through
4:30:14
your body, It's actually changing your life. It's actually changing
4:30:27
the way you're going to feel not just now, but
4:30:32
tomorrow and the next day. As your health improves, not
4:30:42
just your physical health, but your mental health. Things that
4:30:50
used to bother you in the past, for some reason,
4:30:56
no longer have the effect that they used to because
4:31:04
something has changed deep within you. Maybe things that used
4:31:16
to cause you to feel anger no longer have that
4:31:27
power to control you the way they seem to be
4:31:35
able to before. As you realize that you're the one
4:31:46
who decides what affects you, You're the one who decides
4:32:01
to feel relaxed and calm when you choose to enjoy
4:32:13
noticing these natural developments of healing continuing to grow and
4:32:29
improve your life day by day, including of course, your
4:32:41
ability to relax so much easier and sleeping is the
4:32:58
most natural thing in the world to you, because falling
4:33:09
asleep is something that you've done so many times in
4:33:18
your life, and you know that you were born as
4:33:25
we all were, with the ability to fall asleep naturally.
4:33:35
We were born with that ability to just drift off
4:33:47
into a deep, healing sleep. Even when we're kids, some
4:34:00
times we'll fall asleep when we don't even want to
4:34:04
try to stay awake. Maybe it's a birthday in the morning,
4:34:09
or it's Christmas or holiday or something we look forward to.
4:34:14
We don't want to go to sleep. But the more
4:34:19
we want to stay awake, the more we just start
4:34:24
to drift. And the more you fight drifting, the more
4:34:32
you try and stop yourself and drift in a sleep,
4:34:37
the deeper and stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born
4:34:49
not just with the need to relax deeply and to
4:34:55
naturally fall asleep, but it's our birthright, it's part of
4:35:05
our DNA, and sometimes as we get older in life,
4:35:17
perhaps at times we have forgotten that relaxing completely. It's
4:35:31
not only a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy.
4:35:55
It's very, very easy to let go, because that's all
4:36:03
it is. It's just deciding to let go. And when
4:36:17
you press the play button on my recordings, you have
4:36:25
given permission for my voice to relax you. When you
4:36:36
press that play button, you have given me permission for
4:36:41
my words to affect you in a positive, only a
4:36:56
positive way, opening up your mind to useful and healing
4:37:18
suggestions that can have such an amazing effect on how
4:37:35
you feel right now, as well as those changes that
4:37:47
continue long after the recording ends, those changes within you
4:38:00
to continue to flourish and grow, transforming your life in
4:38:13
a positive, beautiful way, allowing you to move forward in
4:38:25
your life in the direction that you choose for yourself.
4:38:41
And this feeling, this feeling that you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness,
4:39:01
just feels so nice. It's such a healthy place to be,
4:39:23
and that positivity grows within you each and every day.
4:39:39
Moving forward, you're going to find that you're more relaxed
4:39:52
physically and in your mind is more relaxed. And it's
4:40:04
not that you're thinking slower, it's just that your mind
4:40:10
will be less clogged up with unnecessary negativity because from
4:40:22
now on, your mind rejects negativity. From now on, you're
4:40:32
going to start noticing when negativity arises and you can
4:40:43
just say stop, stop, and that negativity will turn around
4:40:57
and leave you alone. Stop and that negativity would disappear.
4:41:25
And as you notice that, you feel way more relaxed
4:41:33
than you probably expected. You can now congratulate yourself because
4:41:48
you're the person that has done this. You are the
4:41:55
one that has opened your mind up to the simple
4:42:00
facts that you can feel more relaxed in your body
4:42:09
and in your mind. You've opened your mind up to
4:42:20
the birthright of being able to just fall asleep easily
4:42:28
when you choose. And that's a nice feeling. Don't you
4:42:42
think it feels nice? Doesn't it? To feel calm? All
4:42:54
that healing energy is spreading through your body and your
4:42:59
mind to spend time in a special place where negativity
4:43:16
can no longer enter. Negativity is banned, it's barred, it's
4:43:29
not allowed entry. Doesn't it doesn't. This doesn't deserve to
4:43:36
be here. It doesn't belong here. Negativity has no place
4:43:45
in your life, which makes room for more comfort, more healing,
4:44:04
more relaxation, more peace. It feels nice, doesn't it? Just
4:44:34
the let go with everything. I'm going to count down
4:44:54
now from twenty down to one. You can continue to relax.
4:45:05
If you choose, you can drift to sleep with every
4:45:17
number you hear me say, you can fill twice as relaxed,
4:45:32
or if you choose, you can fill twice as sleeping
4:45:43
now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thteen, t twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six.
4:47:57
Speaker 3: Five.
4:48:04
Speaker 1: Oh, this is your time to just take a break,
4:48:47
your time to relax, to allow your mind to slow down,
4:49:07
to give yourself permission to take a break from everything.
4:49:26
And you, you're the only person that can make that decision.
4:49:33
You're the only person that can actually tell your mind
4:49:41
to just relax, to just take some time off so
4:50:05
that you can focus on your body, getting in touch
4:50:10
with how you feel physically, and in the process of
4:50:28
this body scan, where you focus on different parts of
4:50:32
your body, those parts that you focus on and observe,
4:50:46
even though you're not purposely requesting for those parts of
4:50:55
your body to relax, it's kind of expect. You expect
4:51:03
when you listen to my voice to feel more relaxed naturally,
4:51:17
because when you're listening to me, your attention is focused
4:51:27
on my words, and as my words guide you to
4:51:38
focus on those parts of your body, your focus increases,
4:51:58
which actually calms your mind. And when your mind calms down,
4:52:19
your body relaxes. And when your body calms down, your
4:52:41
mind relaxes. And even though we've not really started the
4:52:58
focus on your body. You can already feel that healing
4:53:11
energy spreading through your body, pushing out stress and tension,
4:53:30
healing all the parts of your body, including your skin,
4:53:38
your bones, your blood, all of your organs inside your body,
4:53:46
all of the muscles, all of the fat, all of everything,
4:53:55
every hair on your body is feel with that healing energy.
4:54:09
And when your brain fills with that healing energy, the
4:54:25
feeling of comfort and relaxation increases deeply, increases in a
4:54:50
way that your mind starts to feel perhaps bit drowsy
4:55:10
because it's not needed, and it may start to drift
4:55:29
if that's what's needed. So if you're listening to this
4:55:38
and what you need is deep relaxation, that's what you get.
4:55:44
If what you need is to fall asleep naturally and
4:55:51
easily as your mind drifts, that's also what happened. Because
4:56:06
by pressing that play button on the podcast and listening
4:56:14
to me, you give permission for your body and your mind.
4:56:24
In fact, you give the command to your body and
4:56:33
your mind to relax deeply and to drift off to
4:56:44
sleep if that's what you want or need. And as
4:57:01
I focus on the different parts of your body, you
4:57:11
may start to just drift, and then you come back
4:57:20
again and you hear me talking, and I'm focusing on
4:57:26
a different part of your body. You may find yourself drifting.
4:57:41
You don't realize you're drifting until you stop drifting and
4:57:48
you're alert again to my voice. Focusing on a different
4:57:56
part of your body starts to relax even deeper, because
4:58:05
that drifting is basically you already in the sleep zone.
4:58:20
And the more you drift, the longer you drift, and
4:58:25
the longer you drift, eventually that drifting continues into sleep,
4:58:40
and that's the last you remember until you wake up
4:58:50
in your own time, when you experience the right amount
4:58:55
of sleep for you, because when you do and if
4:59:04
you do fall asleep, it's extremely pleasant, so relaxing, so
4:59:18
deep healing sleep. I'm going it feels so nice to
4:59:37
relax into your own body and mind as you feel
4:59:47
that healing energy is spreading through you, relaxing you so deeply.
5:00:01
Relaxing is so so deeply. As we start to focus
5:00:19
on your eyes, moving down to your jaw, down to
5:00:42
your neck, your shoulders, arms, hands, fingers, your chest and stomach,
5:01:37
your back, your spine, your hips, your legs, your feet,
5:02:21
your toes and feelings, heetings, spreading and growing inside your body,
5:02:52
feeling you up. Now let's focus again on parts of
5:03:04
your body, focusing this time on your forehead. Now on
5:03:18
your mouth, your lips, your tongue, the whole of your mouth.
5:03:40
Focus in on your fingers. Maybe you could move your
5:03:51
fingers a little bit so you can focus on each
5:03:55
one individually, both hands and even though as you focus
5:04:10
on both of your hands now they almost seemed to
5:04:15
just melt into one. Where is your right hand start
5:04:24
and your left hand end, almost as if just mixed together.
5:04:40
Now focusing on your knees, just noticing how your knees fell. Now,
5:05:08
focusing on your elbows, focusing on both of your elbows,
5:05:22
just observing the feeling of your elbows. Now focusing observing
5:05:59
back your neck, feeding that energy in the back of
5:06:15
your neck, obsurving your ankles, being aware of physical sensations
5:07:07
in your ankles. Noticing now your toes on both of
5:08:21
your feet, being aware how you toes fear right now,
5:08:59
m notice thin how your entire body feels, Noticing how
5:09:46
your mind feels. Now letting go, letting go, letting go everything,
5:10:47
letting go, letting go, letting go, h everything everything. I'm
5:11:28
going to start now, and I would like you just
5:11:32
first of all, just to see yourself lying down on
5:11:38
that message table, lying on your front. Your head is supported,
5:11:44
your arms are supported, and you feel comfortable and breathing.
5:11:53
It's really easy, and you feel you feel confident in
5:12:03
how you look as well. So there's none of that
5:12:05
issue of body problems or shyness, because I'm a professional
5:12:13
and this is a therapy session, so none of that
5:12:20
stuff matters whatsoever. This is about you. This is about
5:12:30
how you feel and how you can enjoy that sense
5:12:38
of comfort and relaxation that comes from letting go and
5:12:45
allowing my hands, that my fingers to relax you by
5:12:53
a messageant your body. So I want to start off
5:13:01
just by placing my hands on the back of your head,
5:13:08
just gently, just so you can feel, well, my hands
5:13:13
feel like really on you, so you can maybe feel
5:13:20
the warmth of my hands on the back of your head.
5:13:26
And with my hands to the side of your head,
5:13:29
not pressing, but just holding there very gently, maybe over
5:13:36
your ears and a little bit on your face, just
5:13:39
so you can feel my hands so you can become
5:13:45
accustomed to them. And now put my hands on the
5:13:58
back of your head again gently let them slide down
5:14:05
onto the back of your neck. You can feel my
5:14:15
hands gently stroking the back of your neck to start with,
5:14:30
just so you can get used to the feeling of
5:14:34
my hands on your skin, get accustomed to realize that
5:14:42
you're safe and it's all good, it's all fine, and
5:14:52
I'm going to start gently messaging the muscles in the
5:14:56
back of your neck with both hands. Now, this is
5:15:12
a very trusting situation, really, because our next is so
5:15:19
fragile and to have someone have their hands around your
5:15:24
neck in that way can sometimes be problematic for people,
5:15:30
which is why massages are quite good, because it allows
5:15:35
you to relax and to get in touch with trust,
5:15:49
to feel peaceful and calm. There's a massage the sides
5:16:02
of your neck, gently moving from the bottom of your neck.
5:16:11
It would be sort of near where your shoulders start,
5:16:14
I guess, all the way up to your jaw, your ears,
5:16:22
kind of area that side of your neck. Of course,
5:16:27
it's a lot longer than the front of your neck.
5:16:43
And then message in the back of your neck, especially
5:16:50
that area where perhaps we hold tension, and there's that
5:16:58
area's message. You can actually feel a sense of release
5:17:04
in the back of your neck and maybe you can
5:17:12
breathe it out as well. Notice how it feels, Notice
5:17:17
how you feel, and then moving down to that area
5:17:31
between your neck and your shoulders, that muscle area, starting
5:17:38
to massage that area on both sides. I mean, this
5:17:45
would be the area that a lot of people would
5:17:48
message if they were going to give you like a
5:17:51
shoulder message. Even that's not technically the shoulders, but it's
5:17:57
all the muscles that lead to the shoulders from the
5:18:01
neck and again that can hold tension and stress, and
5:18:09
when massaged sometimes a nice deep message is useful. And
5:18:17
you decide how deep that message is, and just allow
5:18:34
my knuckles just to dig in to get to those
5:18:40
muscles and to ready relaxed and all the time being
5:18:50
firm yet gentle with you and just stroking down the
5:19:07
area to your actual shoulders, moving to the muscles of
5:19:16
your shoulders and maybe initially just pulling up the shoulders
5:19:27
a little bit of the table just to give you
5:19:30
a little bit of a stretch, but very gently, and
5:19:41
you've got the muscles at the front of your shoulders,
5:19:44
the sides and the back. Again, this is a path
5:19:55
that can really take quite a bit of pressure, quite
5:20:01
a bit of needing if if you wish to really
5:20:11
release the tension to really get into those muscles, and
5:20:20
you can let your fingers in there. I can feel
5:20:23
really nice sometimes just being stroked gently or being massaged
5:20:33
quite strongly. It can all be beneficial to the reaxation.
5:20:46
Put the muscles in your shoulders. Now to move down
5:21:00
your arms. We do one arm at a time, starting
5:21:10
with your right arm, well, I DEAs, I just lift
5:21:21
your arm up, just hold it to the side.
5:21:24
Speaker 3: Of you.
5:21:27
Speaker 1: That way still be attached, and I just message the
5:21:33
tops of your arms all the way down to your
5:21:46
forearms into your wrists, gently massaging that part, the softer part,
5:22:14
which is the under part of the arm, which leads
5:22:21
to the crease in your elbow. The inside. It's much
5:22:26
more sensitive skin. Sometimes just having that stroked I feel
5:22:43
really nice, pleasurable and relaxing. Now moving down to your
5:23:00
right hand, just holding your hand in both of my hands,
5:23:18
just pressing gently on the back of your hand and
5:23:24
stretching your fingers ever so lightly, at the same time
5:23:35
pressing down and massaging each finger, and then starting to
5:23:49
massage the palms of the hand. Just turning the hand
5:24:02
stretching it gently and actually having your handheld can really
5:24:12
be an emotional experience sometimes even if it is a stranger,
5:24:22
so when you don't know very well, like a massage
5:24:26
person or a therapist, maybe because it's intimate and it
5:24:39
can feel nice, you can feel safe. And as I
5:24:52
put that right arm back down where it was, did
5:25:01
the same with your left arm, exactly the same. Massage
5:25:13
in the muscles in your arm all the way down
5:25:18
to your rest, stroking the inside of your arm, just
5:25:31
being gentle or as firm as you require, and then
5:25:44
massaging your left hand, stretching the fingers, gently, massaging the
5:26:01
palm of your left hand, and you can feel so
5:26:20
so relaxing, so comforting, and just rest your left arm
5:26:45
back down. Start to massage your back, the biggest part
5:27:00
of your body, starting at the top, starting again where
5:27:11
we already bef been, the area at the top in
5:27:15
between your shoulders, near your neck. Going back the massage
5:27:22
in that area again, but this time moving downwards, taking
5:27:33
a downward stroke to the middle of your back, working
5:27:42
from the outside inwards. It's a massage in the your back,
5:27:50
but the outsides of your back, the parts where your
5:28:02
arms with maybe rest against almost the path that connects
5:28:15
your front to your back. Just messaging down firmly but gently,
5:28:34
as firm as you want, moving down and moving across
5:28:42
a little bit, and moving all the way down again,
5:28:45
be very gentle yet firm as you choose. Eventually you
5:28:58
get to the spine. We can message the muscles and
5:29:03
either side of your spine from the top of your
5:29:07
neck all the way down to your lower back. We
5:29:19
can do that a few times. Sometimes people use the
5:29:28
knuckle or the two fingers and just go your side
5:29:35
of the spine almost just push down, go all the
5:29:40
way down to the bottom of the spine, each time
5:29:46
releasing tension and opening up the body, stretching your body
5:29:57
so that you feel more acts but at the same
5:30:02
time rejuvenated. And now I'm going to move to one side,
5:30:19
to your right side, and from the bottom of your
5:30:26
ribs to your pelvis, I'm going to massage that area
5:30:34
of your back. I'll stretch over the other side and
5:30:39
i will pull the muscles gently and massage and push
5:30:46
from one end that side or the way to my
5:30:49
side in the middle of fact to where your spine is.
5:30:55
Massage in that side of your spine. The opposite side
5:31:01
to where I'm standing. It's almost like kneading bread. There's
5:31:09
a big area which is firm yet lots there to message.
5:31:21
Potentially one of the most important places to actually have
5:31:26
a message because you really feel it. You really feel
5:31:34
the release and the pleasure of having your lower back massaged.
5:31:42
It releases so much from your body that's not useful,
5:31:51
starting a healing process which will continue long after this
5:31:57
recording is over. The message in this part of your
5:32:09
body not only feels really good for you, it's actually
5:32:14
fun to do because it is, as I said, like
5:32:19
kneading bread. It's a part that you can really get
5:32:24
hold of and really message deeply. If that's your choice,
5:32:39
then I'm going to move over to the other side
5:32:41
of your body and do the same with the opposite
5:32:48
part of your lawer bag. Kneading and messaging from your
5:32:57
sides all the way to the middle of your back
5:33:05
where your spine is pressing and kneading firm and gentle
5:33:18
at the same time. It feels so releasing. This mixture
5:33:28
of pleasure, comfort, release, calmness, relaxation or mixed together. Plus
5:33:44
there's that feeling from your stomach as it's being stretched.
5:33:50
Even though you're in your stomach now you can feel
5:33:53
it being stretched because that whole area is connected to
5:33:57
your stomach. Now we're going to move or move further
5:34:09
up to your top of your body, and I go
5:34:14
do the same this time, starting with your upper back,
5:34:22
put my hands forward over and messing massage in that
5:34:28
area up to your spine, from the side of your
5:34:34
body up to your spine. So some of that massage area,
5:34:40
the muscle tissue or whatever fatty tissue even will be
5:34:47
possibly from your chest because all connected chest and the
5:34:52
back connect together. I'm going to be massaging and just
5:34:59
pulling some of that skin from your side up and
5:35:06
massaging that area of your upper back all the way
5:35:15
to your spine. And then I'll move down a bit
5:35:21
and I'll continue with the middle of your back doing
5:35:24
exactly the same thing as gentle or as deep as
5:35:33
you choose. Now I'll move or the other side again
5:35:45
and do the exact same thing with the top of
5:35:50
your back on the other side, from pretty much underneath
5:36:00
your arm area really to your spine, and then continuing
5:36:13
that all the way down including your lower your middle
5:36:20
of your back. I'm gonna go to your thighs, the
5:36:39
backs of your thighs and the sides of your thighs,
5:36:48
Starting with your right leg, Massage in the back and
5:36:57
the sides of your thighs gently and firmly. There's a
5:37:06
lot of muscles there. It's an area that can be
5:37:09
very tense at times and maybe needs a little bit
5:37:14
more pressure than the rest of the body that's up
5:37:17
to you. You can gently stroke the back of your
5:37:28
legs where you know, opposite your knee joint or underneath
5:37:34
your knee joint, very sensitive, gentle area. And then working
5:37:47
down to your calf muscles. Massage in your calf muscles
5:37:55
thoroughly and deeply, if you choose, using both hands and fingers,
5:38:09
digging deep to your ankles, in the back of your
5:38:23
back of your ankles, just gently message in that area,
5:38:35
maybe lifting the leg and stretching out a little bit.
5:38:51
Speaker 8: Moving to the right foot, massage in.
5:39:06
Speaker 1: The bottom of your feet and the sides of your
5:39:12
feet gently but firm enough so they don't tickle, and
5:39:29
just allow the pleasure that you get from having your
5:39:35
feet message to just overtake you. As I continue to
5:39:44
message your feet, the bottoms of your feet, the sides
5:39:53
your arches, your heel. You can put a lot of
5:39:59
pressure into your heel and it feels amazing, Yet the
5:40:05
arches need to be a bit more gentle. Stretching your
5:40:13
toes gently, the massage in the bottoms of your toes
5:40:21
with my fingers, each one individually. Moving over to the
5:40:36
left leg to do exactly the same thing. Starting at
5:40:45
the top of the thighs. Work in the back of
5:40:50
the thighs and the sides, massaging deeply and gently the
5:40:58
whole area, working all the way down. And this is
5:41:12
an area that maybe you could like to spend more
5:41:18
time relaxing and messaging. So perhaps if you wanted like
5:41:27
a bigger future recording, I want to spend more time
5:41:32
on one particular area. As you move down to your
5:41:43
calf muscles. Massage in your calf muscles firmly and gently,
5:42:03
moving down your ancord into your feet. Massage in the
5:42:12
backs of your feet, the bottoms of your feet, stretching
5:42:22
your toes and massage in each tone individually. And the
5:42:29
feeling of pleasure and release that you experience when you're
5:42:34
having your feet massaged feels really good. Now should turn
5:42:56
over in your mind. Laying on your back, I'm just
5:43:08
going to start again for your neck area in your shoulders,
5:43:25
just to get back in touch with that area. And
5:43:36
as we move up, I can clean my hands, make
5:43:47
them more fresh, because now I'm going to message your
5:43:51
face gently, starting off with your forehead. Your eyes are
5:44:07
closed and I can just stretch your eyes a little bit,
5:44:14
pushing up on your eyebrows, just massaging around your scalp,
5:44:31
massaging down your cheeks, around your ears, into your chaw,
5:44:41
gently the sides of your neck, your chin.
5:45:00
Speaker 9: Mm hmm.
5:45:04
Speaker 1: Then just moving down from your neck down to your chest,
5:45:15
starting by message in the very top of your chest
5:45:23
where the collar bone is. Give a side of the collarbone,
5:45:37
and then just message in the hole of the chest,
5:45:49
moving the chest around, because it's quite a large area.
5:46:03
You can move from one side to the next, moving
5:46:11
my hands underneath pretty much where your arms are stretching up,
5:46:24
stretching some of the muscles of your back in the process,
5:46:33
moving up over your chest and they're moving down again.
5:46:54
Then allowing my hands to just message gently and slide
5:47:00
down towards your stomach, starting in the middle of your chest,
5:47:10
and then gradually my hand's moving apart and massage in
5:47:17
and sliding at the same time, moving down to just
5:47:26
below your rib cage, moving down, then massaging up again,
5:47:44
giving your chest all the attention that it needs to
5:47:52
feel completely relaxed, remembering that I'm also going to be
5:48:05
focusing on your sides as well, an area that really
5:48:11
doesn't get much attention but feels really good when it's massaged.
5:48:24
Just stroking my hands down the sides of your body,
5:48:31
just below your arms, all the way down to your hips.
5:48:44
Now moving to your stomach area, I'm going to stand
5:48:51
one side of you like I did when I did
5:48:53
your lower back. I'm going to do a similar process,
5:49:00
just stretching the muscles from your side, gently massaging from
5:49:15
one side to the next, move in a whole area
5:49:23
from below your ribs all the way down to below
5:49:27
your belly button, and then move around to the other
5:49:37
side of you and repeat that process of relaxing, deeply, calmly.
5:49:56
You feel loose, you feel free. And it's something about
5:50:03
having your stomach massage that's different from any other part
5:50:12
because we do have a tendency of holding a different
5:50:16
kind of stress in our stomachs that we may not
5:50:20
be aware of. As in our message, your stomach in
5:50:32
front of your stomach, making circles around your belly button,
5:50:45
anything going the other way around. There's a gentleness and
5:50:55
a freedom that comes from feeling how you're feeling. As
5:51:06
I now move down the tops of your thighs, the muscles,
5:51:14
massaging them, and I can do this two legs at
5:51:19
the same time, pressing down, massaging deeply those muscles in
5:51:30
your thighs, the front of your thighs, and moving down
5:51:39
to your knees, gently massaging your knees, Sliding down your shins,
5:51:53
putting pressure on either side of your shin gently softly
5:52:01
but firmly, moving down to your ankles, stroking the tops
5:52:15
of your feet, and then with each foot in each hand,
5:52:26
just gently messaging the whole of the foot, the top,
5:52:35
the bottom, your heel, your ankle, your toes, messaging every
5:52:44
part of your feet. Feels so good. Just to let
5:52:53
go and enjoy the process, enjoy feeling so deeply relaxed,
5:53:18
so much comfort, and so many feelings that come just
5:53:25
from touching your skin. And you can just lie there
5:53:42
for as long as you choose, enjoying the feeling of
5:53:51
deep comfort from being massaged. Me enjoy fear deeply. Right,
5:54:27
and all we're gonna do is blow out some candles.
5:54:36
In your mind, there are gonna be a hundred candles,
5:54:59
and you're gonna blow each one out individually, one by one,
5:55:08
starting at one hundred. As I count down all the
5:55:18
way down to one, and each time I say a number,
5:55:31
you can imagine that candle in front of you, and
5:55:38
I'd like you to actually physically gently blow that candle out,
5:55:54
just so it's not a big blows, just a gentle,
5:56:06
and that candle will extinguish. And then I'll say the
5:56:16
next number as we move down, and you can just
5:56:27
blow that one out as well. And as we move
5:56:36
down the numbers, you'll find yourself feeding more and more relaxed.
5:56:50
If you need to sleep, you'll also find yourself becoming
5:56:58
incredibly tired and sleepy. In fact, you may struggle to
5:57:12
blow out all one hundred of these candles as you
5:57:26
feel more and more deeply relaxed, more and more deeply tired,
5:57:57
and the further you go down, the more your mind
5:58:06
starts to drift. You may find that you stop listening
5:58:19
to me after a while. And even though there may
5:58:32
be background sounds where you are, you'll be aware of
5:58:41
those sounds at the moment, be may start to just
5:59:00
not even notice them at all, because they're unimportant. Where
5:59:19
I am, I've got the sounds of the birds, there's horrors,
5:59:27
the pigeon it likes to say hello sometimes, and there's
5:59:35
the odd plane that goes by, maybe traffic and trains
5:59:46
in the distance, But none of that seems important whatsoever.
6:00:03
More candles you blow out, the less important anything is.
6:00:17
The more candles you blow out, the further seemed to
6:00:28
move away from sounds and from general date days. Stuff
6:00:48
seems to just move away on its own. If you
6:01:02
feel more calmer with every candle you blow out, guiding
6:01:23
you the next number, do you hear me say? And
6:01:39
then you blow that candle out too? So easy, so simple.
6:02:07
I'm gonna start by introducing the first candle, which is
6:02:21
a hundred. First candle is one hundred. When you blow
6:02:39
that candle out, you'll find immediately a slight change in
6:02:59
how you feel, as well as a real sense of
6:03:10
positivity growing within you, relaxation and sleepiness expanding. Starting with
6:03:45
one hundred, blow out back candle now ninety nine, candle

Speaker 1: Eight jen six cantl F can do four and do

hey can two can or let go of all of
7:01:22
those thoughts, worries, concerns about the past, thoughts about the future,
7:01:31
and even things you've been thinking about today. Just let
7:01:37
it all go because none of it is useful in
7:01:43
this moment. This is your opportunity to just focus on
7:02:02
feeling relaxed, allowing yourself to get in touch with that
7:02:12
natural sense of peace that we all have within us.
7:02:24
It's available for everyone, It just sometimes takes a little
7:02:29
bit of effort to set up the right time and
7:02:36
place in order for you to just let go. Because
7:02:43
when you do decide to let go and relax. That's
7:02:51
what your body starts to do because you've chosen. You've
7:02:59
chosen and to just allow your body to unwind and
7:03:06
your mind starts to slow down. And it's a nice feeling.
7:03:15
It's a nice feeling at the beginning, just to know
7:03:19
that you have chosen to decide to relax deeply, and
7:03:29
because you've made that decision, your body will just follow suit.
7:03:39
Because sometimes all the muscles in your body need is
7:03:44
just permission from you to relax. Because so often we're busy,
7:03:53
we're going from here to there, we're walking around, and
7:03:58
we're doing stuff, and the body doesn't have any time
7:04:05
or space to really relax deeply. So it kind of
7:04:14
waits for you to lead the way, waits for your permission.
7:04:24
And when you do give your permission, when you give
7:04:30
the say so, when you say okay, it's time for
7:04:37
your body to let go completely and relax totally, your
7:04:46
body just follows. It's like a breath of relief. Ah good,
7:04:56
I can now relax. That feeling at the end of
7:05:03
a day, of a very physical day that you may
7:05:06
experience in the past, where you get home and you
7:05:10
just sit down on a chair, maybe you kick your
7:05:14
shoes off and feels so nice knowing that you don't
7:05:21
have to get up again for a little while at least,
7:05:26
if you choose, you can just sit there for maybe
7:05:29
an hour to It feels blissful. And just by sitting
7:05:42
down like that, your body knows that it's time to relax.
7:05:49
Your body has been given permission from you. Because it's
7:05:55
a mindset in your mind, you're prepared to let go
7:06:05
of everything and just completely allow all the stress of
7:06:15
your body to evaporate. Any tensions can just gradually vanish.
7:06:34
It's almost like magic, really, because that sense of relaxation
7:06:46
in your body, it's a very natural state. It's not
7:06:52
something unusual. It may feel unusual when you first start
7:06:57
to relax, if you if you haven't really spend a
7:07:02
lot of time focusing and giving yourself this space to
7:07:06
let go completely and relax, they seem are most alien,
7:07:13
but it isn't. It's actually the most natural thing in
7:07:19
the world to let go completely, to relax totally, the
7:07:30
most natural thing in the world to allow yourself to
7:07:41
feel really calm in your mind. And it is almost
7:07:49
like a literal unwinding. It's like you press a button
7:07:59
and all attention just releases, and it's like a wheel,
7:08:06
like a cog, like the inside of a clock, just unwinding.
7:08:11
And it's almost like you could see the little wind
7:08:15
up knob that's used just going the opposite way that
7:08:21
you choose to wind it up, and the energy that
7:08:27
frenetic stress for energy gradually winding down, losing its power,
7:08:38
losing its strength as a sense of relaxation becomes stronger
7:08:47
and deeper.
7:08:51
Speaker 3: And you may.
7:08:54
Speaker 1: Find a the more relaxed you feel, that your mind
7:09:01
starts to wonder. Maybe you just seem to stop listening
7:09:10
to me for a while, and your mind goes somewhere else,
7:09:16
and then you realize you're listening to me again, and
7:09:22
that is just your mind drifting to sleep, which is
7:09:29
quite natural, because sometimes when we're stressed and tense, we're
7:09:40
not may I actually be aware of what we need,
7:09:45
what we physically or emotionally need in this moment. But
7:09:54
when you allow your body and mind to relax legally,
7:10:02
and you let go of all thoughts, concerns, worries, ideas,
7:10:10
all letting them go, allow them to drop onto the floor,
7:10:20
you start to get in touch with the feelings of
7:10:28
such relaxation. This feels so nice to be in touch
7:10:39
with the calmness of the different body parts as they
7:10:48
become looser and looser. Even your breathing seems easier and
7:11:02
more natural effortless, as that cool air enters through your
7:11:11
mouth or nose into your lungs, breathing in comfort and relaxation,
7:11:24
and then just breathing out any excess remain intention or
7:11:30
stress from every part of your body and mind. And
7:11:41
as you start to focus on your mind, maybe you
7:11:46
notice that things have come to a standstill or maybe
7:11:54
just much much lower than before, because your mind is
7:12:03
not really needed when listening to my voice, which allows
7:12:14
your mind to relax just as deeply as your body,
7:12:22
And that synchronicity between the relaxation of your body and
7:12:33
relaxation of your mind let you know that feeling completely calm, loose,
7:12:48
and relaxed really is a great healing experience fear and
7:13:02
has so many positive benefits for your body, mind, and
7:13:15
your life. To be able to let go everything and
7:13:24
to relax completely in all parts of your body and mind.
7:13:36
Even your bones are a axed, all your muscles are relaxed,
7:13:52
Even the skin that covers your body is relied. Every
7:14:06
hair that you have is also deeply relaxed, and your
7:14:23
brain restarts to feel the benefits of this healing relaxation.
7:14:42
And as you focus on the inside of your scalp
7:14:48
where your brain is, you can start to realize and
7:14:54
notice the benefits of your brain relaxing deeply. Then it's
7:15:07
your brain continues to relax sends those messages to the
7:15:20
rest of your body and your mind to re relax
7:15:29
even more deeply, relax and more completely, letting go of
7:15:50
any remaining thoughts or concerns, allow them just to drop onto.
7:16:03
Speaker 3: The floor.
7:16:05
Speaker 1: Because they're no longer necessary in this moment, In this
7:16:14
moment of deep relaxation and calmness, filling your brain with
7:16:29
deep concentrated heathing, calming, relaxing every part of your brain
7:16:56
feeling so loose and comfortable, so relaxed and be peaceful.
7:17:16
Your brain feels so light and so healthy in that
7:17:28
sense of deep deep comfort really does allow you to
7:17:42
enjoy those ever increasing sensations of comfort that are spreading
7:17:56
throughout your body, Relaxing each and every muscle of your body,
7:18:10
eat deeper and deeper, much more deeper than before, much
7:18:31
more comfort spreading through your body. In your mind feed
7:18:47

7:19:05
part of your body, letting go of a everything averything,

7:21:17
muscle of your body, so that you feel amazing, so laxed,
7:21:35
so piece, so so relax and peaceful, letting go.
7:21:55
Speaker 13: Everything.
7:22:01
Speaker 1: We're going to do a body scan, focusing on firstly
7:22:07
how you feel in your body, not trying to change
7:22:12
how you feel, not trying to relax, not trying to
7:22:18
move away from any discomfort or stress or tension, just accepting,
7:22:27
observing and accepting how you feel in the different parts
7:22:32
of your body, Just allowing yourself to be exactly as
7:22:39
you are, to notice, to get in touch with how
7:22:50
you actually feel in this moment. So we're going to
7:22:57
start off by focusing on your hands. Just be aware
7:23:09
of your hands. I'd like you to move your hands around.
7:23:19
Just maybe move your fingers a little bit. I've been
7:23:24
enclosing your hands very gently, just so that you can
7:23:33
get in touch with how your hands and your fingers
7:23:39
fell with very very slow movements. Focusing now on your feet,
7:24:04
and if you can just do kind of an equivalent
7:24:08
with your feet is you've just done with your hands,
7:24:14
Maybe turn in your ankles, moving your feet around, moving
7:24:23
your toes gently, but only very gently and very slowly,
7:24:36
noticing how your feet feel in this moment. Focusing now
7:24:51
and your eyes. I like you to just focus on
7:24:59
your eyelids. Maybe you can open and close your eyes
7:25:05
a couple of times to really get in touch with
7:25:10
how you feel when you do close your eyes. The
7:25:15
muscle changes in your eyes when you do close them,
7:25:24
maybe raising your eyebrows, it stretches the tops of your eyes,
7:25:33
perhaps squinting your eyes, scrunching up your eyes, just so
7:25:42
you can really get in touch with all aspects of
7:25:52
how your eyes feel. Right now now, focusing on your thighs,
7:26:13
and it just starts you to gently tense your thighs,
7:26:19
just very very gently, just enough so you can become
7:26:30
more attuned to the physical sensation. Of your upper legs,
7:26:43
the front of your thighs, in the backs of your thighs,
7:26:51
noticing and observing how your thighs fear. Right now, moving
7:27:11
your focus to the back of your neck, just noticing
7:27:19
the back of your neck, the muscles, and of course
7:27:25
they lead to the side of your neck. They also
7:27:30
lead to the top of your back, which leads to
7:27:35
your shoulders. So as your focus on the back of
7:27:41
your neck, maybe you can move your head gently upwards
7:27:49
as if you're looking up. Maybe moving your head down
7:27:57
as if you're looking down. Perhaps moving your headside to side,
7:28:05
right to left, but only very slowly, very gently. I'm
7:28:18
not trying to force anything. It has to.
7:28:23
Speaker 3: Be very.
7:28:26
Speaker 1: Very gentle, just so that you can.
7:28:34
Speaker 14: Be more in touch with the feelings, with the.
7:28:44
Speaker 1: Sensations of physical sensations of how the back of your
7:28:53
neck feels. Right now, as we now focus on the
7:29:11
tops of your arms, the parts where your biceps and
7:29:17
your triceps are between your elbow and your shoulders. Should
7:29:26
focus on those parts, the tops of your arms. You
7:29:33
may like to just tense them, but very very gently
7:29:43
and slowly. See you're not straining or put in any
7:29:51
pressure or whatsoever on your arms. It's just so that
7:30:01
you can gain more of a sense of how your
7:30:10
upper arms are feeling in this moment, and just noticing
7:30:23
as you gently, very gently and slowly tighten the muscles
7:30:35
and then let go. Notice how the tops of your
7:30:44
arms feel right now, as in now focus on your stomach,
7:31:06
the area the lower abdomen area below your belly button,
7:31:13
moving all the way down to your hips, just above
7:31:21
your grind. Maybe you're able to tense these muscles in
7:31:34
that area very very gently and slowly, if that's a
7:31:50
difficult thing to do, and maybe you can just move
7:31:57
your body, pushing your stomach up, maybe moving a little
7:32:05
bit to the side using your hips, just so you
7:32:11
can get more in tune with how your lower abdomen
7:32:21
area is feeling in this moment. Just noticing the physical
7:32:42
sensations or your lower abdomen as. Move your attention to
7:33:05
your mouth, noticing your lips and inside your mouth.
7:33:19
Speaker 15: Your teeth, your guns, your tongue.
7:33:33
Speaker 1: Just noticing how your tongue and your mouth feels. It
7:33:42
may help by moving your tongue around your mouth, moving
7:33:51
it to your left, maybe pressing it gently against the
7:33:59
side of your mouth mouth, and then to the right
7:34:04
gently to the side of your mouth, perhaps pressing up
7:34:12
against the top of your mouth, and then down gently
7:34:20
against the bottom of your mouth, always very slowly and
7:34:31
a very very gentle so that you can be aware
7:34:51
of how you feel in your mouth area. Now we're
7:35:13
going to focus.
7:35:16
Speaker 16: On your wrists, and I'm.
7:35:28
Speaker 1: Gonna ask you to maybe just routine your wrists by
7:35:37
moving your hands in a circular motion very gently and slowly,
7:35:51
just so that you can feel the sensations that you
7:36:09
are currently experiencing in your risks. Perhaps move in your
7:36:25
hands up and down again very very gently and slowly,
7:36:51
very gentle and slow. As you now start to observe
7:37:21
your lower back.
7:37:28
Speaker 3: The bad part.
7:37:30
Speaker 1: Is just above your hips, where your coxis are a
7:37:47
whole area which also really does include the sides of
7:37:54
your body, because those muscles are very much connected as
7:38:05
those muscles also move into your hip aia connecting to
7:38:12
your buttocks the sides of your hips, and if you're
7:38:28
physically able to do so, maybe you can very gently
7:38:39
just move your body ever so slightly, very slowly, some
7:38:52
side to side, just enough to gauge how you feel
7:39:13
in your lower back. Perhaps it could even move your
7:39:28
hips gently up and down gently, slowly in order to
7:39:47
be in touch with the physical sensations of your lower back.
7:40:14
As we now move your attention to your jaw, the
7:40:29
area from your chin all the way up to near
7:40:35
where your ears are, the hole of your jaw, and
7:40:51
you can just if it's okay to decide gently open
7:41:00
your mouth, not wide, no stretching, just very gently and
7:41:13
slowly opening your mouth thing closing your mouth very gently
7:41:27
and slowly, so you can.
7:41:42
Speaker 3: Be in touch.
7:41:50
Speaker 1: With how your jaw feels. Now. I to sit now
7:42:26
your chest area, and you don't need to do anything
7:42:41
to move your chest because it moves every time you breathe,
7:42:53
and it moves very gently, and it's really automatically relie
7:43:07
breath you take. As you focus on how your chest
7:43:27
feels when you breathe, move in your focus to your forearms,
7:44:11
your elbows. Maybe you're able to very gently and slowly
7:44:29
tense the muscles in your forearms, and when you do that,
7:44:38
you can feel your elbows as well, very gently and slowly,
7:45:10
gently and softly observing your forearms and elbows. Yeah, let
7:45:50
me focus on the rest of your bad Yeah, your
7:46:04
upper back in the middle the middle of your back again,
7:46:26
this part of your body moves. Also, every time you breathe.
7:46:42
You may not notice that. Usually these you observe your
7:46:56
upper back. In the middle of your back. You can
7:47:03
really feel that gentle and movement moving your foot this
7:48:02
into your hip area, your body, your brain, those muscles,
7:48:16
and those bones in your midsection. Just noticing, hell, your
7:48:53
hips feel right now, you can very very gently move
7:49:16
your hips, maybe side to side, very gently and slow,
7:49:43
very very gently, softly and slowly. Everything starts to slow down,
7:50:31
including the thoughts in your mind and your mind itself
7:50:40
just starts to gradually. It doesn't have to be instant,
7:50:46
but just gradually starting to It's almost like time is
7:50:55
streight chin. It's a slower pace to maybe what you're
7:51:06
used to in your day to day life. It's a
7:51:14
slower movement of energy, very small movements which make up
7:51:41
the larger movements, which is always the case. When you
7:51:49
move your hand, it might seem like it's one movement,
7:51:54
but it's lots of minute different muscles moving in accordance
7:52:02
with each other. What happens in this space that we're
7:52:14
sharing is we move from that big movement into those
7:52:33
smaller movements, starting to focus on how your body feels,
7:52:52
not just as a whole, not just oh, i'm feel
7:52:56
in this way, I'm feeling stressed or tense, or I'm
7:53:01
feeling relaxed and calm. I'm feeling this way, I'm feeling
7:53:07
that way. Starting to notice that your body begins to
7:53:18
present to you small feelings around your body, small physical
7:53:35
sensations in your legs, whether pleasurable or not. Maybe resisting
7:53:54
the temptation to label them or to judge them those feelings,
7:54:05
just thinking them, thinking about them is just being neutral,
7:54:12
just feelings, not being particularly concerned, but just noticing what
7:54:27
your body is telling you. The feelings in your arms,
7:54:44
instead of feeling the whole of the arm, maybe notice
7:54:49
those individual feelings for all those different muscles and the skin,
7:55:05
the hairs of your arms, all the internal parts of
7:55:11
your arms, the veins, the bones, just being aware of
7:55:30
maybe your elbow on your right arm has a certain feeling.
7:55:39
Maybe your left wrist also has its own individual physical sensation.
7:56:05
What about your forearm on your right arm, you're right forearm,
7:56:19
there may not be any particular feeling that you could
7:56:25
even give a name too, may not feel like anything
7:56:34
other than just a feeling. You know it's there, the
7:56:44
feelings in your shoulders. Perhaps your shoulders when you think
7:56:50
about them, you're kind of almost like they're the same,
7:56:55
you know, the same feeling. It's like both of your
7:57:01
shoulders are just one thing. Of course they're not. And
7:57:14
when you focus on your left shoulder and then on
7:57:20
your right shoulder, maybe find that you move the muscles
7:57:27
a little bit, maybe tense the muscles gently, noticing the
7:57:38
difference in each shoulder. Your lower back, the left side
7:58:10
of your lower back and the right side of your
7:58:13
lower back. Of course that connection to your buttocks and
7:58:26
to your hips, and also moving up into the middle
7:58:38
of your back, and sometimes like right now, actually want
7:58:52
to focus on their part. When I focused on my
7:58:55
buttocks and then I focused on my the middle of
7:59:01
my back, I almost felt like the muscles in my
7:59:04
lower back were being stretched very gently, just stretched a
7:59:14
little bit. Even though I wasn't doing anything to try
7:59:23
to stretch your lower back, it just seemed to happen.
7:59:29
The feeling of very gently stretching your lower back comes along.
7:59:50
I have feeling in your chest, just noticing what sensations
8:00:15
you are experiencing in your chest right now, and there's
8:00:33
so much of the chest Obviously there's the collar bone
8:00:37
leading to the chest. You've got the chest bone, You've
8:00:44
got the muscles in your chest, and of course, if
8:00:52
you're female, there's possibly the breasts. Your male you've got
8:01:00
the different well my not that different these days, but
8:01:09
there may be more muscles at the top of the chest,
8:01:17
but at the side underneath it's pretty much the same.
8:01:22
Whether you're a man or a woman. There's muscles there,
8:01:27
muscles that stretch out to your back as well as
8:01:32
breast tissue. It stretches and moves into your back to
8:01:41
just being aware of your chest.
8:01:51
Speaker 3: Being.
8:01:58
Speaker 1: With whatever feeling there is in your chest. And when
8:02:18
I noticed that, I focus on my chest, I feel
8:02:26
it in my back and my upper back. I mean,
8:02:31
I guess the obvious reason would be because you know,
8:02:34
I'll breathe in in and it stretches my chest and
8:02:45
my back at the same time. It feels it feels okay,
8:03:06
doesn't feel I got a little bit of pain in
8:03:11
my right chest, a little bit, not pain, but little discomfort,
8:03:19
maybe stiffness possibly, I don't know. I notice my shoulders
8:03:29
are also wanting to flex for some reason. I think
8:03:38
that's probably part of my upper back that connection between
8:03:46
my shoulders and my upper back because I can move
8:03:50
my shoulders and stretch the muscles in my back, moving
8:03:58
the shoulders backwards or up, which then moves I think
8:04:04
it's the scapulous in your back. It feels quite nice. Actually,
8:04:25
a good thing about this is you can, if you
8:04:29
want to, you can just flex or stimulate the various
8:04:43
muscles in your body gently in order to get more
8:04:50
of a sense of how they feel. And when you're relaxing,
8:05:06
when you do tense and muscle and you let it
8:05:10
go and you let it relax, it relaxes.
8:05:16
Speaker 3: Way more.
8:05:19
Speaker 1: Than it would normally. That you have to feel that
8:05:29
you're able to do that. There's no point in doing
8:05:33
it if there's an issue with the per part of
8:05:38
your body. You need to be gentle with yourself at
8:05:48
all times when relaxing deeply. It's important to be kind
8:06:02
to yourself. As you notice your mind. How much has
8:06:18
your mind slowed down since we started this recording. How
8:06:42
calm and peaceful is your mind right now? We've nothing
8:06:58
to think about and just my voice to listen to.
8:07:08
Because you know, the intention behind this recording is relaxation.
8:07:19
At the very least for you to feel more relaxed
8:07:25
at the end of the recording than you did at
8:07:28
the beginning, at the very least, for your mind to
8:07:41
slow down as your body continues to relax, because that's
8:07:58
what you want to happen. That's what you expect to happen,
8:08:20
for relaxation to fill your body, maybe calm in your
8:08:38
mind to the point of boredom. When you start maybe
8:08:47
to drift away drest in, it's almost as if you're
8:09:33
moving further away from your body in your mind, just
8:09:42
leaving that there, kind of liking it an escape pod
8:09:54
in a spaceship a movie, a space movie. You know,
8:09:59
when against a little pardon, it sends the man far
8:10:05
away from the spaceship, safe to dream and continue to relax,
8:10:55
drift in so slow.
8:11:28
Speaker 13: And peace so.
8:11:46
Speaker 1: So rax and peaceful, and focusing on the feeling of
8:12:32
those individual parts of your body that are relaxing. One
8:12:44
by one. You may find that every now and then
8:13:04
you realize that you weren't listening to my voice because
8:13:15
your mind started to imagine something different, maybe started to
8:13:29
almost move into some kind of a dreamy state, and
8:13:40
then you become aware of my voice again. And even
8:13:47
though you may want to focus on my voice. You
8:13:54
may also wish to allow your mind and to just
8:14:01
drift naturally into that space of comfort and safety. As
8:14:21
you feel more comfort spreading through your body like a
8:14:39
warm blanket covering you gently, keeping your body at just
8:14:56
the perfect temperature. And even if you can hear background sounds,
8:15:19
they just don't seem to matter anymore. There's that sense
8:15:32
of peace spreads through your mind like a gentle breeze,
8:15:51
yet strong enough to blow away all negativity, strong enough
8:16:04
to remove from your mind any anxiety or stress that
8:16:17
was there before, and blow away any other thoughts or
8:16:32
feelings that just don't fit with the sense relaxation that
8:16:58
is feeling your body and your mind. And as you
8:17:23
focus on your mind and count down from ten down
8:17:30
to one, and with each number you hear, your mind
8:17:42
will become slightly more relaxed, just just slightly so. From
8:18:07
ten down to nine, just a slight movement. From nine
8:18:14
down to eight, just another small change in how you feel.
8:18:32
Eight down to seven. That feeling is a gap, almost
8:18:41
like a gap that starts to get wider, the gap
8:18:47
between those feelings that you used to have in your
8:18:55
mind compared to the feelings you have. The growing now
8:19:05
feelings of comfort and security and confidence, and the gap
8:19:15
becomes wider. Eight down to seven, seven down to six,
8:19:25
and when you get to five, your mind will start
8:19:30
to have a certain physical sensation, almost like there's a
8:19:44
magnet outside of your head sucking the tension and the
8:19:50
stress and any remaining feelings that you don't want, sucking
8:19:58
them out through your skull. And in down to four
8:20:09
you can start to really experience that sense of not
8:20:16
just emptiness, but space, a place full of fresh air,
8:20:31
a place where you can stretch. It's almost as if
8:20:38
as you go down to four and three, your mind
8:20:42
is expanding, with this sense of peace and tranquility growing
8:20:57
as it moves down to When you get to one,
8:21:05
your mind just feels exactly how you want to feel.
8:21:16
It's almost perfect feeling, maybe a sensation that you'd like
8:21:35
to keep a place that's safe, where nothing can affect
8:21:48
you at all, and you can stay in that that
8:22:04
space of comfort and confidence, confident in your own ability
8:22:14
to create this space and this feeling of comfort within
8:22:21
your own mind, just by counting from ten down to one.
8:22:33
And this is something that you can do yourself when
8:22:38
you're on your own, a time when you can maybe
8:22:45
sit down, maybe just for a few minutes, close your eyes,
8:22:58
just count slowly from ten down to one and re
8:23:10
experience these feelings.
8:23:15
Speaker 17: In your mind.
8:23:22
Speaker 1: And when you feel that way in your mind, your
8:23:26
body copies your mind, and that feeling is spread through
8:23:41
your spine and your nervous system into every part of
8:23:48
your body, travels through your bloodstream, healing and relaxing every
8:24:04
particle of your existence. And we can we can practice
8:24:22
this a few times before the end of the recording,
8:24:30
and then you can practice on your own. And each
8:24:36
time you count from ten down to one, the feelings
8:24:46
of comfort, calmness.
8:24:49
Speaker 9: And deep.
8:24:53
Speaker 1: Deep relaxation becomes stronger, deeper, filling your mind and your
8:25:10
brain with these positive chemicals that spread throughout your body,
8:25:21
relaxing you so quickly, relaxing your whole body and mind.
8:25:33
Speaker 17: So very.
8:25:35
Speaker 1: Very easily, just by counting from ten down to one.
8:25:52
So we're going to do it now. I'm going to
8:25:54
count from ten down to one. I'd like you to
8:25:59
repeat number after me. So when I say ten, you
8:26:06
can just repeat to yourself ten. Just notice, be aware
8:26:20
of how you feel in your mind and your body.
8:26:32
Then when I say nine, you can repeat to yourself
8:26:41
nine again, noticing the increase in comfort and calmness in
8:26:56
your mind and in your buddy the same when I
8:27:07
say eight, when I say seven, six, I want I
8:27:18
say five, four, when I say three, two, and lastly
8:27:37
you want to say one. You can repeat that number.
8:27:50
Speaker 8: Now.
8:27:50
Speaker 1: Of course, when you do this on your own without
8:27:56
listening to me, you can say that numbers or whatever
8:28:03
speed that you feel is necessary for you, so you
8:28:11
can adapt. So if you feel you want to say
8:28:17
the numbers ten down to one faster than I do,
8:28:25
then you go ahead and do that. Or if you
8:28:27
feel when you do it yourself that you'd like to
8:28:32
have more more space between the numbers, maybe take a
8:28:40
lot longer to get from ten all the way down
8:28:48
to one, that's your choice also to do. So, I'm
8:29:05
going to count from ten down to one, and when
8:29:13
I get to one, that will be the end of
8:29:17
this recording, unless, of course, you're listening with music, then
8:29:24
the music will continue. Ten nine five s four cho
8:34:05
twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen fifteen, fourteen, thirteen twelve eleven,
8:34:56
ten nine eight, seven, six, five, four three two.
8:35:42
Speaker 13: One.
8:35:51
Speaker 1: Now open your eyes, noticing how you physically feel having
8:36:01
counted down from twenty to one, allowing stress and tension
8:36:09
to leave through your fingertips.
8:36:11
Speaker 3: And your toes.
8:36:14
Speaker 1: And as you focus on your fingertips, maybe they feel
8:36:18
a little bit tingly, which is I suppose quite understanding,
8:36:25
considering the tension has been exiting.
8:36:29
Speaker 17: Your body through your fingertips.
8:36:37
Speaker 1: So now I'm going to count from twenty down to
8:36:39
one again. This time you're going to feel relief of
8:36:46
tension and stress, any anxiety that you may have leaving
8:37:00
your stomach just leaving through your stomach, almost as if
8:37:06
it's just releasing the whole of your stomach. You'll navel
8:37:14
to just above your chest or below your chest, rather
8:37:18
so surrounding your belly button area, the whole area. You
8:37:24
can feel the tension of your body wherever it's left,
8:37:28
just releasing from that area, and you may notice that
8:37:34
your stomach will become very relaxed as I count down
8:37:40
from twenty down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, yeah,
8:39:04
oh three two, And you can open your eyes again
8:39:25
if you choose, or you can just keep them closed
8:39:29
because it feels relaxing. Just notice how your stomach feels.
8:39:36
I notice as your focus, just do a little scan
8:39:40
of your body.
8:39:42
Speaker 17: Just notice how your body feels.
8:39:45
Speaker 1: Focusing on your upper body, your back, chest, stomach, legs, arms, hands, feet,
8:39:59
Just no, and you know, you may start to feel
8:40:08
more of a sense of tiredness, which may be the
8:40:12
reason you're listening to this recording because you would like
8:40:19
to let go completely of everything and drift off into
8:40:28
a nice, natural, calm, relaxing sleep. So now we're going
8:40:43
to focus on your forehead, and if you choose, you
8:40:53
can incorporate your eyes in this focus as well. So
8:40:58
your forehead and your eyes, it's that whole area basically
8:41:04
almost as if you were wearing a mask, you know,
8:41:07
like a I don't know, a Batman mask or something,
8:41:13
or I'm trying to fa zorro or something, you know,
8:41:17
the kind of mask that covers your eyes but also
8:41:20
covers quite a lot of the forehead. Focusing on that
8:41:27
area because that's the area that we're now going to
8:41:29
release tension and stress from your mind, from your brain
8:41:36
and from your mind, and any tension that you may
8:41:40
have remaining in your face, in your neck, and your jaw,
8:41:45
in your eyes, your forehead, or your scalp, So basically
8:41:52
any tension within your head area, including your mind and
8:41:58
your brain that's going to be released through your fullhead,
8:42:06
in your eyes as I count down again from twenty
8:42:14
down to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six.
8:43:37
Speaker 3: Five, four, three.
8:43:57
Speaker 1: One, noticing as you scan your face, your jaw, your eyes,
8:44:15
your cheap bones, your ears, your forehead, your scalp, your neck,
8:44:25
the back of your neck and the front of your neck,
8:44:29
the sides of your neck and your throat. H noticing
8:44:39
being aware of the comfort increased be in the relaxation,
8:44:51
not just in your head and neck and mind, also
8:44:56
the rest of your body. Just notice how loose and
8:45:06
calm you feel, and how easily it is to just
8:45:12
let go completely, let go completely, how easily That's what
8:45:39
I'm going to do now, is I wanted to focus
8:45:43
on the top of your head, and we're going to
8:45:50
allow every last piece of tension or stress that my
8:46:01
be lingering or hiding in your body or mind or
8:46:06
my head to just.
8:46:10
Speaker 17: Be sucked out on the.
8:46:13
Speaker 1: Top of your head and released into the air. Once
8:46:22
sucked out into the clouds, Imagine a big cloud above
8:46:29
your head, almost like a whirlpool, and this can suck
8:46:35
that tension out at the top of your head and
8:46:42
just take it away the good you focus. Imagine an
8:46:50
opening on the top of your head with that tension
8:46:55
and stress and any remaining issues may be worried concerns
8:47:01
that are no use to you. Now you can all
8:47:05
be sucked down at the top of your head. I've
8:47:09
taken away. As I count down again from twenty down
8:47:16
to one now twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven.
8:48:53
Speaker 18: Six, five, four three two.
8:49:18
Speaker 1: Wha breathe, noticing how you feel, how relaxed and calm
8:49:47
you physically and mentally feel right now, help peace your
8:50:01
mind feels. It feels so nice to just let go,
8:50:10
to give yourself some space to breathe easily, to think calmly,
8:50:24
just to take a break from all that pointless worry
8:50:30
and concerns about things that you don't need to think
8:50:35
about right now, because this is your time to let go.
8:50:47
This is your space to enjoy feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful
8:50:57
in your mind ext in your body. They can feel
8:51:05
so good, so nice to just not have to do anything,
8:51:17
to be able to really enjoy that serenity that comes
8:51:28
with letting go completely, that peacefulness that comes with being
8:51:41
in this peaceful space. And you can keep this sense
8:51:53
of calmness for as long as you choose. If you
8:52:05
choose to drift off into a deep, healing, natural sleep,
8:52:13
then you can do that. It's completely up to you,
8:52:24
and you can keep this feeling of calmness physically and
8:52:29
in your mind as long as you choose to feel
8:52:35
completely relaxed, completely relaxed. And I'd like you to make
8:52:51
up your mind that you're going to relax, and I
8:53:05
want to explore that with you. What it feels like
8:53:08
when you actually decide that you're going to relax, not
8:53:17
forcing yourself, but giving yourself that. Yes, it is a command, really,
8:53:24
isn't it. When you're telling yourself relax in a gentle
8:53:31
but firm way that only you can really tell yourself
8:53:39
in that way. You can't really have someone else saying
8:53:41
to you, now it relax, relax, you know, and it
8:53:48
needs to be gentle, but you can't someone else can't
8:53:50
really have the same the same kind of influence or
8:54:00
hour that you have over your own physicality, over how
8:54:08
you feel, because when you say it to yourself it
8:54:18
means more. It's personal, and your brain and your unconscious
8:54:26
mind and your body listens to what you say. So,
8:54:33
for example, we'll test it out. We'll do a little test,
8:54:37
a few little tests along the way, and you can
8:54:40
get more of an idea of the force, the positive
8:54:47
force that you can have in creating a sense of
8:54:54
comfort and relaxation in your body and your mind quite
8:54:59
quickly just by you telling yourself to relax. So I'm
8:55:11
going to start by its focus on your hands. To
8:55:18
focus on your hands and just tell your hands to relax,
8:55:22
and just say relax. As you focus on your hands,
8:55:29
you could say, my hands are relaxed, or I want
8:55:34
my hands to relax. I think if you actually do
8:55:38
it directly by focusing and imagining that your hands can
8:55:47
hear what you're saying. You know they've got little ears,
8:55:50
which is a bit weird. So talking to your hands
8:55:56
and just say relax, noticin.
8:56:11
Speaker 17: How your hands start to relax.
8:56:25
Speaker 1: Now focus on your eyes and tell your eyes to relax.
8:56:29
You just say in the same word relax and find
8:56:34
the right tone for you. You know, I might say relax,
8:56:42
but you you might say relax or relax. You know,
8:56:51
you might say it differently to yourself, and that's important
8:56:57
for you to gauge what feels right for you. To
8:57:04
just tell your eyes to relax whilst focusing on your eyes,
8:57:09
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eyebrows, and
8:57:14
just tell your eyes directly relax now.
8:57:49
Speaker 17: Now, I just did that myself.
8:57:51
Speaker 1: And sometimes you feel that you need a bit more
8:58:01
time or the different parts to relax, you know, because
8:58:07
I start talking again and maybe that part hasn't relaxed fully.
8:58:13
But what happened is that it would just continue to
8:58:16
relax even though I'm talking. And that's happening with my eyes.
8:58:23
Something else I noticed is when I started focusing on
8:58:28
my eyes, that actually almost became They got worse.
8:58:32
Speaker 17: Before they got better in a way.
8:58:34
Speaker 1: So I felt a degree of tension growing in my
8:58:37
eyes and then disappearing. So I think what that was
8:58:43
really it was just me becoming more aware of the
8:58:48
tension that was already there that I wasn't I wasn't
8:58:53
focused on it before, so I wasn't really acknowledging it
8:58:59
or really conscious to those feelings. Yeah, my eyes is
8:59:16
still continuing to relax as well as my hands. Actually,
8:59:23
my hands have got a certain kind of energy, like
8:59:28
not buzzing, but I can kind of fuel a degree
8:59:33
of energy in my hands. Maybe that's where the tension
8:59:40
is being released. Maybe that's the cause in that the
8:59:51
next part, I think we should focus on.
8:59:53
Speaker 9: The back of the neck.
8:59:54
Speaker 1: That's a part which quite often, or for me, holds tension.
9:00:00
And I don't know about for yourself, but I think
9:00:02
it's quite a standard place where tension is sometimes held.
9:00:09
So and I'm doing exactly what you're doing as you
9:00:14
do it as well, so I'm telling my body parts
9:00:18
to relax as well. So if you tell your neck
9:00:21
at the back of your neck, focus on the back
9:00:23
of your neck, and just say.
9:00:28
Speaker 17: Relax in your own words, in your own tone.
9:00:32
Speaker 1: In your own voice. You can say out loud, or
9:00:35
you can just say it to yourself internally. But you're focusing,
9:00:40
and you're saying it literally to the back of your neck,
9:00:45
as if the back of your neck can actually hear
9:00:48
what you're saying. So do that now, Just say relax.
9:00:56
Speaker 9: To the back of your neck. And I'll do the same.
9:01:37
Speaker 1: Then what I noticed, and you may have had similar
9:01:41
thing is, even though I.
9:01:44
Speaker 19: Was focusing on the back of my neck, other parts
9:01:53
started to, I don't know, show themselves to me or
9:01:59
maybe because they want to be relaxed as well.
9:02:01
Speaker 1: But I started noticing the feelings in my shoulders, attention
9:02:06
in my shoulders and in my upper back. Whether that
9:02:12
was because my back of my neck was saying, well,
9:02:17
I'm pretty much okay.
9:02:20
Speaker 17: It's the other parts that.
9:02:22
Speaker 1: Need attention, but my low back of my neck is
9:02:31
still relaxing. But I just became more aware of other
9:02:35
parts that needed attention. Now, this might happen.
9:02:42
Speaker 3: And it's not.
9:02:45
Speaker 20: It doesn't mean that it's going any wrong.
9:02:47
Speaker 1: It just means you're being notified of more places that also.
9:02:54
Speaker 20: Want to feel relaxed. So I'm going to focus on
9:03:00
my upper back.
9:03:02
Speaker 9: So you can do the.
9:03:03
Speaker 1: Same, even if you don't have any feelings of tension
9:03:10
that obvious in your upper back, if you just focus
9:03:15
on your back and the whole area from the shoulder
9:03:20
blades down to the middle of your back and your spine.
9:03:27
And with me, it's more the shoulder blades that are
9:03:29
more Yeah, that's the parts.
9:03:35
Speaker 9: That really.
9:03:38
Speaker 1: Sort of giving me the nod that it needs relax
9:03:45
in the sounds, going to ask.
9:03:46
Speaker 9: That part to relax, and you can do the same.
9:03:49
Speaker 21: Now.
9:04:01
Speaker 1: Relax, upper back. Something strange happened there, And this often happens.
9:04:19
I've been doing this for sixteen years or something, and
9:04:26
often I'm one surprised but amazed really that there can
9:04:34
be a feeling. So when I was focusing on the
9:04:39
back of my neck, my upper back was starting to
9:04:43
feel quite stressed and in need of attention. As soon
9:04:49
as I started talking to you about my upper back
9:04:53
and talking about, you know, getting ready to ask the
9:04:58
upper back to relax, why the.
9:05:01
Speaker 20: Back already started to relax.
9:05:06
Speaker 1: It's almost as if it doesn't need to hear the words,
9:05:10
just needs attention, just needs to be noticed. And that
9:05:28
is something that often happens in this type of situation.
9:05:35
Is when you start to relax a couple of parts
9:05:41
of your body, as we've done with our hands, their
9:05:46
eyes and the eyelids, and now back of the neck,
9:05:55
top of the back, up the back, the rest of
9:06:00
the body seems to just take notice and decide in
9:06:08
its own way to start relaxing. Other parts of your
9:06:16
body start to just.
9:06:19
Speaker 17: Become looser.
9:06:25
Speaker 1: I suppose it's kind of like a bit of an avalanche,
9:06:28
you know, the little ball starts rolling, and before you know,
9:06:33
the whole of your body.
9:06:34
Speaker 17: Is completely relaxed and.
9:06:36
Speaker 1: Can't And if you focus on your face, you focus
9:06:53
on your eyes, your eyelids, your eyebrows, and the muscles
9:07:01
around your eyes, maybe you start to notice that your
9:07:11
forehead is more relaxed than it was. Maybe your face
9:07:16
is more relaxed. I would say my entire face is
9:07:23
a lot more relaxed than it was. So we're going
9:07:36
to focus now on your shoulders again, just like before.
9:07:44
Just to your shoulders. I mean you can do them
9:07:47
in the digity. You can do the right shoulder and
9:07:50
left shoulder. I just generally do both at the same time.
9:07:56
Just tell your shoulders as you focus on them in mind,
9:08:01
hope's somehow you feel. Maybe you can see them in
9:08:07
your mind's eye. Just tell your shoulders.
9:08:16
Speaker 20: To relax as nice as they relax.
9:09:07
Speaker 1: But I do notice, I mean, especially with my back,
9:09:14
is the connection between the different parts the back, the shoulders,
9:09:21
the neck being all connected and being such a large
9:09:31
part of your body, it's almost hard to separate them
9:09:37
from each other, and my lower back has starting to
9:09:45
relax on the same.
9:09:52
Speaker 9: Maybe I'm going too.
9:09:53
Speaker 1: Slow and that could be an issue because we all
9:10:00
at different speeds. And the idea at the beginning of
9:10:06
this recording was for you to be able to just
9:10:09
say to yourself, relax without focusing on.
9:10:24
Speaker 20: Any particular part of your body.
9:10:28
Speaker 1: Because when you know that tenning your hands.
9:10:34
Speaker 20: To relax, then your hand relax.
9:10:43
Speaker 1: You tell your eyelids and your eyes, the muscles around
9:10:50
your eyes and your eyebrows to relax.
9:10:58
Speaker 20: And they relax.
9:11:05
Speaker 1: You tell the back of your neck to relax, and
9:11:16
it relaxes. You tell your alpa back.
9:11:33
Speaker 17: To relax, and it relaxes.
9:11:53
Speaker 1: You'd tell your shoulders to relax and they relaxed, And
9:12:32
