Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name is
Jason Newland and this is let Me pull you to sleep.
Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

(00:27):
Blah blah blah. So yeah, it's Sunday, the seventeenth of
August two thousand and twenty five. Yeah, it's been I mean,

(00:54):
technically it's been quite a busy week, but really just
because of all the recordings I made, but I only
made like since Monday, I've only made to let Me

(01:15):
boy you to sleep recordings. I didn't do a Q
and A Friday this week because or last week where
if you want to call it, you know, this previous
Friday because I got one question. I know, perhaps I

(01:36):
left it a little bit late to post on the
Facebook group, you know, any questions, But maybe I should
just stop doing the Q and A Friday if no
one's if there's no more questions, then there's no more answers.
I can't answer questions that are not asked. So yeah,

(01:58):
if you want me to continue to do the Q
and A Friday, then please, I mean, you can send
a question in via my website if you want, and
I'll just add it to a list of questions. Just
let me know it's for this coming Q and A Friday,

(02:18):
and I'll add it because there's a contact form on
my website, or you can you know, when I post
any Q and A questions for Q and a Friday
on my Facebook group, which is Jason Newland's Boring Group,

(02:39):
you can maybe leave a question there as well, or
instead of you know whatever. But yeah, I can't. I'm
not going to do it if there's no questions, because
it seems a little bit I mean, there was one question.

(03:00):
I mean, in all fairness, I probably could have made
that one question last for a bad an hour. But
the question really was whether or not I preferred personal
questions or non personal questions? And has there been any

(03:21):
times that I haven't answered a question because it was
too personal? So I can kind of answer that here
in a sense of generally, I'm open to most questions.
If it's a question that I don't really want to answer,

(03:43):
then I will be purposefully vague, I suppose, or I
will distract myself and move on to something else. I
don't know, it's I'm not I'm not great with family
questions because that is personal. But also I don't really

(04:06):
have much in a way of family to talk about. Really, Yeah,
as long as it's about me, it's fine. I'm okay.
You know, I talk about myself. That's the only thing
I've really got any right to talk about, really, isn't

(04:28):
it in a sense? I mean, you know, I've done
a few done some podcasts about step moms and stuff,
but that was all nice things that I talked about.
So yeah, generally, if it's about me, that's kind of
what the the Q and a Friday's for. But it

(04:51):
can be about you as well. It can be like
you could ask my opinion on something. You could ask
me because I've been in life for so long. You
can ask me about world events maybe that's happened during
my lifetime. Asked me about English culture. If you live

(05:17):
in another country, you could ask me jobs, places I've lived, girlfriends, hobbies, interests,

(05:37):
TV programs I liked, music, movies I've seen. Yeah, really,
it's I think sometimes I'm better at some of the

(06:05):
older stuff because if something because let's say, if I
went to someone slamming the doors downstairs like constantly, and
I really don't know why they've been doing it for
about twenty minutes, just slamming it. Well, let it slam

(06:25):
over and over and over again, which is very sor
I never got a dog dog barking. That's why these
recordings are so much better than hypnosis recordings, because I
can't I have to stop talking. If a dog barks
in the background. With these recordings, all sounds are fine.

(06:50):
I mean, maybe not for you, but generally it's in
a distance, it's in the background, and it's either make
a recording or don't make a recording. One of the

(07:13):
things that starts that dog off and also starts venning off,
and also starts another dog around the corner off or
across the road off is this cat. So this lady
that lives in a building opposite, she's put bells on
her cat's collars. Now, I thought she did it just

(07:36):
to annoy the docks, but she didn't. She did it
to warn birds. So actually she's done it for a
really nice reason. But the side effect of this particular
medication is dogs hear it. I mean he can hear

(07:58):
it in the middle of the night and he starts
barking sometimes or growling. And I know what, I'll look
out the window. I can just make out the cat,
and the cat's just standing in the garden staring up
at the window. Proper wind up merchant that one. So

(08:23):
it's weird, isn't it. It's what she's doing is a
really good thing to have, because I really love birds.
But there's always there's a it seems to be a

(08:46):
what do they call that thing? Not a brush off,
a playoff the downside, I don't know. Yeah, it's not
a win win situation. It's a win win situation for
the birds, which I'm really pleased about. It's not a

(09:06):
win win situation for the cat. So the cat doesn't
get to catch birds, which is good, but a cat
does get to get some pleasure from annoying the dogs,
which I imagine is quite pleasant for it. Now, it's not
a win situation for the dogs, unless, of course, the

(09:27):
dogs getting excited. So Vinnie might actually be enjoying barking
when he hears the cat. It's more excitement than anger
or anything, so bless him. Yeah, so Uncle's sausages. The

(09:54):
funeral has been changed. It was on the toy. It's
supposed to be on the twenty first of August, but
they haven't got the birth the death certificate yet. So
it's been put off till another week. So that was
that's weird. The I had to get the counseling for

(10:21):
the mouse exterminator people. I'm not sure what you call them,
animal prevention unit. I don't know, vermin control, something like that.
And they came in last Friday and they put down bait,

(10:45):
and they came back this Friday and said there's nothing
in there. There's no They put stuff in the into
the lofts and everything, and there's nothing, no sign, not
a single sausage, excuse the pun. And it's all the residue,

(11:09):
all the leftovers from the previous mister that so it's
not yeah, it's old historic, he said, which is good.
It's not good in a sense, but it's good obviously
for the rest of the building because we don't want
those things running around. But it's not it's like he

(11:34):
was living with all that stuff around. He didn't even
know it. So the I'm thinking that the council are
going to come in and start emptying his place, probably
in the next week or so. So I've still got

(11:56):
his key to let them in, and then that'll be
the whole process coming and emptying it and painting and
all that stuff and getting a place ready for the
next tenant and a new a new adventure begins, hopefully

(12:17):
a quiet adventure. But we'll see. Yeah, I could, really,
I really don't need a new neighbor opposite me. You know.
It's the noisy ones, the ones downstairs, and then there's
a couple. Well one's moved out now, but there was
a couple that slammed the door continuously downstairs. Now it

(12:42):
shakes the building. It's really loud. It echoes through the
hallway and stuff. And it's one thing downstairs, but here,
if I had the same thing happening opposite me, it's
going to be I think it will be disturbable, disturbable,

(13:04):
disturbably loud, And I don't know, I'm not looking forward
to that because there seems to be two types of
people in this world, those that know how to close
doors and those that don't know how to close doors.
I didn't think it'd be too complicated, you know, and

(13:30):
so considerate people and inconsiderate people. But I also realized
as I got older, that inconsiderate people aren't actually quite
often doing it to be harmful to other people. They're
just not thinking they're just they're just going about their business,

(13:51):
going about their life. They're not even noticing the doors
slamming when they leave, and perhaps not noticing they've got
loud music at night, or you know, they're just they're
not doing it purposefully to cause problems. I think some
people just they're just not aware of or not aware

(14:18):
but not aware that other people are around they can hear.
Maybe they assume that they're everything they can hear is
just for their ears and no one else can hear it.
Have you ever seen someone on public transport talking about

(14:40):
someone else and they're literally like ten foot away, but
that person can hear you. I can hear you, and
I'm in the next town. It seems to Yes, it's
kind of weird. One no one can hear me. Yeah,

(15:03):
they can hear you, you know, when we're not not everybody.
But so that would be interesting. I mean, I hope
it will take a while before they get anyone in there,
and I hope when they do, it's not going to

(15:23):
be you know, it's going to be Yeah, well I
hope it's going to be a nice person, that's all.
Someone that's idea is someone that's older, someone that's maybe

(15:43):
but I don't think it really matters about agees that
they're nice, nice and quiet.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
That would be nice, Yeah, I think quiet.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
How many people have I had lived here, not in
my flat, but live in this building since I've been
here for ten years ten and a half years now.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
Oh so when I moved in, we had her him, him, him.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
So there was someone when I moved in, there was
Uncle's Sausages. He's been here the whole he was here
the whole time until recently. And then next to him
there was someone that was there for a while and

(16:46):
then he moved out, and then someone else moved in.
I didn't realize it was a different person. But he's
been in there for a long time, and I'll get
on really well with him as well, So he's cool.
He's about eighty. And then so this has kind of

(17:09):
been the same for a long time, the last probably
eight years. This has pretty much been the same upstairs
until now. Downstairs there's someone that's been there the whole
time as well as she was here when I moved in,

(17:31):
not below me, but one of the flats downstairs. And
then in the other flat next to the one I
was just talking about downstairs, that was where my friend
Luke lived, and.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
He was.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
I think he's been there for like two, two or
three years before I moved in, at least a couple
of years before I moved in.

Speaker 5 (18:05):
So.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
And he was here until what month is it now, August, September, October, November,
so it'll be two years in November that he left.

Speaker 6 (18:25):
Let me dark shut up.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
I do wonder if she just the owner of that
doctor's prods it to make it bark because it's too
quiet and we need noise. Bark. That's good. I haven't
got to think now, just make lot noise. We need noise.

(18:51):
So when he left, the counsel came and did their
thing and all that stuff. But it did take quite
a long time before anyone moved in, so it was

(19:15):
a good I don't know if I just got a
feeling it was last summer, but maybe kind of April
May time, so December, January, February, March April, so at

(19:36):
least five or six months before someone moved in there. Yeah,
so it wasn't it might have been March April. It
was all I know. It's very very sunny, so maybe
four five months, so it's quite it's quite a long time.

(20:00):
I mean the longer the better. The longer it takes,
the better, I think. Not for people that are waiting
for housing, obviously it's not good for them, just for
the tenants, you know, just have that little break. That's
I don't know, a bit selfish, isn't I suppose. Sorry,

(20:25):
I give myself permission to be selfish once a day,
and that was my little selfish moment. So and then
so soone moved in there into to loose flat about

(20:46):
I don't know. I'm sure it's about May, but there
might have been earlier. And then she's moved out already
as far as I know, she's moved out a couple

(21:06):
of weeks ago. So that tenant's gone. So there's now
another flat empty, but the council haven't come in to
refurbish it. So I'm not sure what's going on. All
I know is she moved I've been told that she's

(21:27):
moved out. And then downstairs, so we've got two flats
empty at the moment, but both kind of just been
lived in it as it were, you know, so they
need to be what the counse would normally do, you know,

(21:52):
if there's stuff in there like there was still some
stuff in there with Luke. They come in and they
take all the stuff out and they put it to
the back of a like a lorry van thing, you know,
those cage vans. And I don't know obviously where you live,

(22:16):
I'm not sure what it's like, but they kind of
they use quite often for cutting, like you know, the
grass cutters are doing parks and stuff, and they chuck
stuff in the back there. So it's got a cage.
It's not it's not got a top on it, but
it's got a cage at the side, so then it
doesn't you know, and they can open it at the

(22:37):
back and put stuff on and wheel stuff into it.
I mean, it's probably used in building sites that kind
of things. Well, I don't know, but I imagine, well
they use that's what they generally seem to use, so
they chuck stuff on there. Then there's a while because

(22:59):
I guess the process depends well how quick the process
is depends on how many flats need to be done,
because they've got limited workers to do it, I imagine.
So you know, if suddenly one hundred flats become available,

(23:24):
a hundred properties become available in one month, they're going
to struggle to do that many they're going it's gonna
take a while, I guess, but there I don't be honest,
I don't really know what the council actually do to
the property. I mean, once they take everything out, which

(23:49):
they I know, they take the carpet out as well.
The only way you get to have a carpet is
if you do a council swap with someone else. So,
for example, I'd love to live in Talkie. It's a
long way away, but I just think it's beautiful place

(24:14):
or maybe something like Cornwall or you know, somewhere that's
just nice visually nice with a beach. And yeah, I'm not,
I'm not. I mean, this is okay as a base,
but it's not. I'm very secluded here and I do

(24:39):
like beaches and I've lived on a well, I've lived
in towns with beaches three times, including Buttlings. I mean technically,
well was not. Technically there was a beach there, but

(25:01):
I think I only went to it twice and it
was winter, so it wasn't. Really I'm pretty sure the
beach was. I think that part of the beach might
have been private just for no, it wouldn't have been
private with it. I don't know anyway. I remember I

(25:25):
did go there a couple of times at late at night,
and it's very windy, very cold, very rainy. Yeah, I
do quite like beaches. I lived in South End when
I was a little kid, and back then South End

(25:45):
was a very popular place for holiday goes, and I
mean it probably I think Blackpool was always the most popular.
I think, but I think what happened and I might
be I'm partly making this up, is depending on where

(26:09):
you lived in the country, when it came to a holiday,
you'd go to the popular place that's in that part
of the country. So if you lived in I suppose
Liverpool or Manchester and stuff like that, you perhaps traveled

(26:34):
to Blackpool. If you lived in London, perhaps you travel
to South End or to Clacton. And if you're in Essex,
maybe Clacton or South End because both of those are
in South End. So and it's probably the same in

(26:57):
other places, you know where you'd go to a place
where there's I'm trying to think the East Coast Yarmouth.
Yarmouth was a very popular place. Yarmouth Beach is one
of the nicest beaches I ever went to in this country.

(27:17):
It was a long time ago. I went on a
school trip. Was there a school trip? Wow? Why I've
always gone squeaky? Why did I go to Yarmouth? I
went on a trip with someone, but I don't know

(27:45):
why I went. Maybe it was with the see Cadets,
or maybe it was a school trip. Might be the
school trip, might be in the cecredets. But I've got

(28:05):
a memory of it. And I think one of the blokes,
one of the kids, met a girl while he was there,
and he was not in the Cecredets, So I think
it was just a school trip and we went to
Yarmouth for some reason for the day and stuff like that.
It's brilliant. Yeah, probably that's what's a memory I forgot about. Yeah.

(28:38):
I remember running on the beach and just like the
sea coming up and I'm kissing my girlfriend and she's like,
we're upset because she's going back. She's on holidays, she
was going back to Australia and I to go back

(29:00):
to school. I wait a minute, as speakinning of Greece. No,
but there's definitely a beach. There was a beach. I'll
tell you another beach, really lovely, really Lower Stuft, so
the East Coast if you ever do come to if
you live up north, or you live in Scotland or

(29:22):
Wales or the middle of the country Norwige. I mean,
if you live in the South area, you're probably going
to know about the East Coast. But there's some really
nice beaches here. Now, I don't think anyone's going to

(29:42):
come from Wales to go visiting beaches other parts of
the UK because Wales has some of the most beautiful
beaches in the world. I think I covered myself there.
Good does Scotland have beaches? So I said, do Scotland

(30:04):
have Wales? See, I have been to Scotland, but I
was a tiny kid. I think I lived there for
a while. I'd like to go. Well, do I say Scotland,
I'd like to go to Scotland. I'd like to It's
one of those places like I've been to Wales multiple
times over the years. I've been told I live in England,

(30:26):
but I've been to lots and lots of places in England.
I lived in Newcastle, lived in South End, lived in
East Anglia, lived in Essex, lived in London. Yes, I

(30:46):
lived in the Northeast in the South I've been to.
You know, a lot of the places I've been to Nottingham, Liverpool, Manchester,
Bolton and most of the towns in this on the

(31:12):
east coast area, you know, all those different beccles and
lowest staffed Yarmouth, all those places in Norfolk as well.
I've been to lots of places in Norfolk over the
years in the past, not recently, and I just haven't

(31:41):
really as an adult or as a like a because
when I was there, I was too young to really
know where I was. When I was in Scotland, that
is so my oldest brother said, we lived in Scotland
for a while, but I don't recollect it. I don't
remember it because I was I might have even been

(32:01):
a baby, not a baby, but like two years old
or something, which is still a baby, isn't it really?
And I'd like to go to Scotland just to visit
and because I would be a tourist like my dad

(32:22):
is literally not literally because it was a while back,
but probably about two months ago for sus yeah, probably
about two months ago. He was in Scotland on holiday
and he did a little tour of Scotland and I'm

(32:44):
not sure where he went, because I've got family and well,
my ancestry. Although forty eight percent Irish, I am about
two percent Scottish or four percent Scottish, so you know,
my Celtic percentage is quite high Irish and Scottish. And

(33:09):
I don't know if there's any or whales in me now,
I just god, we have visual would you want and
well or whale in you? But yeah, I don't know
if I've got any. We're all mixed, and we ultimately
there is the idea that is that there's a pure

(33:31):
breed human out there. Shut up, shut up, doesn't exist.
You're silly, silly person. I'm pure me. No you're not.
Maybe pure of mind, I'm a pure breed. No, there's
no such thing. There's not even such thing as a
pure breed dog, because most dogs have just created. You know,

(33:54):
you've got a dog. And then you say, okay, I
like this. I like this little mixture we've got. Let's
make more of just this mixture and we'll call it
a pure breed, even though the original wasn't a pure breed.
It was just a mixture. No, it's not how it works.
So I remembersides saying, oh is it Jack Russell, and

(34:16):
he was the bloke that tried to selling the many
to me. He's a pure breed, you know, I said, okay,
And I did a bit of research and Jack Russell's
were created on purpose by mixing a bunch of dogs
together to create hunters. So it's nothing pure a poumped hair.

(34:44):
It's like, you know, it's weird. There's definitely no pure
breed humans. Is that controversal? No, but it's true. Ah. Yeah,
So Scotland, I reckon it would be quite a nice

(35:08):
place to visit. Wales. I'd like to go back to
Wales and visit again. Yeah, I'd like to see the
beaches again, just to see if they are what I remember.
I'm going to be smaller than I remember, because I
was tiny when I went there, you know, because we
used to go camping in Wales every year for quite

(35:32):
a few years, and I didn't like camping. I'll be
honest with you. I didn't like it. It's just not
my I mean, you haven't got to be an adult

(35:53):
to know what you do and don't like, have you.
I mean I knew from the very first time that
I was standing there in the rain putting a tent up,
that I didn't enjoy the process, and that I didn't
really want to do it again, I would say, the

(36:17):
only nice thing and this is going to be weird.
Actually there's two things. The only I didn't mind sleeping
in a tent, but I didn't like it, however, weird.
That is what I liked, is laying down in the tent.

(36:39):
And because we're in Wales, there's the obligatory rain has
to occur. I mean this was in the peak of
the season, peak of the summer. Beautiful for pupil are
beautiful weather, but also you know, some rain as well
around it, which is why it's such a luscious country.

(37:04):
And that sound of the rain on the lid of
the tent was just so nice. It was I mean,
I don't personally, I probably did get tingles. It was
maybe that's my ASMR thing. I just found it very relaxing.

(37:30):
But being inside the tent when it was happening. I've
always enjoyed hearing rain, unless I have to go out
in it, then I don't enjoy it. And wind and weather.
I like weather. I'm kind of used to it. If

(37:53):
you ever lived, if you lived in this country, all.

Speaker 7 (37:57):
We have is weather. It's just continuous. Yes, So I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
I think, yeah, laying down, I don't know where everyone
was because there was like what one, two, three, four,
five and myself there was six of us, way too

(38:33):
many people to spend time together. But we did and
you know it was it was what it was. Can't
change it now. Yeah, parts of it were lovely. Is
I liked the the sandy beaches. And because in Wales,

(39:02):
like I'm like a tourist guy, don't I If you've
never been to Wales, and if you thought about all
I'll go or not, I'd recommend going, maybe be prepared
to travel around because you know, it's not that Wales

(39:26):
is a huge area. I mean it's not tiny, but
it's still it's there's you know, there's still quite a lot.
There's quite a few beautiful beaches. You've got Snowdonia the mountain,
and I went up there twice, I think maybe three times.

(39:49):
I think it's twice. Went up by train once and
went up like walked up to the top. So did
the journey. I think it was twice. Train's a lot quicker,
so I wouldn't try and not in a not even

(40:10):
in a no, I wouldn't try and walk up it now.
I mean, there are parts of it that he kind
of it's an up hill walk, but it's not steep
the whole way. There's parts of it that feel almost flat,
and then it gradually, you know, you end up and

(40:31):
I think you kind of walk around the thing. I think,
but in my memory it might not be true. But yeah,
not really, not really for me anymore. I would go
up by it. I probably. I don't know if i'd
even bother going up by train, because I've done it.

(40:52):
I did it years ago, I did it when I
was a kid. Wouldn't be that bothered to do it again.
But if you haven't done it, it's definitely worth it,
I would say, because I don't know about your life.
But how often do you get to stand at the
top of a mountain? And some people would, I guess

(41:12):
every day if you live on a mountain, obviously, but
I yeah, it's quite not yeah, it's quite. Maybe I
would do it again, but go by train, and the
trains were old, I really made of wood, kind of

(41:32):
proper old trains, just like that. My dad's saying to me, Jason,
can you stop that? I said, But it makes fun.
It makes it more fun if I had some sound effects.

(41:55):
But yeah, I quite liked it. Yeah, that was all right.
We also went to slate places, so basically just old
minds where they used to dig for slate. We did
also go to a couple of coal mines, old coal mines,

(42:17):
and I think what really surprised me. I don't know why.
I was surprised how big they are like underneath really.
I mean, I do kind of think that if you're

(42:44):
going to build a hole like that, you're going to
dig a hole. When you finish, you need to fill
the hole in. That seems to be the obvious thing.
You don't leave a big, massive whole all in the ground.
I'm not talking about the entrance or the exit. Maybe

(43:08):
U classes the entrance or the exits, probably both, isn't it,
But all of the space inside because that's going sideways,
and you know there's a lot of ground that's basically
underneath the place where people are walkings. This big, massive

(43:32):
gap of empty space sort of made sense. I don't know,
to me, do something with that space. I don't know
what build build like a shelter or some kind of

(44:02):
I don't know. It you know it just so it's supported.
So it's really really well supported for the ground. And
you can tell I know nothing about what I'm talking about,
but doesn't hasn't stopped me before, so why should they
stop me now? Why there's no use them? So yeah,

(44:27):
I'd like to go to Scotland. I'm not sure where though,
because I do I'd like to go to Ireland again
as well. I mean I'm a sole traveler generally, but

(44:49):
if I went to Ireland, it's I could visit a
couple of people that I know, or three people that
I know on the whole of the island, including a
northern Ireland.

Speaker 6 (45:03):
And.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
That with Scotland, i'd quite like to go to, trying
to keep a Scottish place They've got They've got towns
in Scotland, haven't they. Do you have houses there? Yeah,

(45:28):
I don't know. I just I just like to visit
and just have a look around. Really, there's no specific
place necessarily. I mean, i'd like to go to Edinburgh,
but i'd like to go during the Edinburgh Festival, so

(45:52):
that would be cool. And Glasgow is another place i'd
like to visit. Yeah, outside of that, I can't think
of any other places Edinburgh Glasgow. Hm that probably I'm

(46:17):
not saying that's that's all, but that I guess there
are two of the main places. Glasgow. Just I don't know.
It's somewhere that I wanted to visit for a long time, Edinburgh,
solely because of the Edinburgh Festival, the Fringe Festival, so
where the comedy and stuff is on a I think

(46:42):
it's in August, it's now. Actually probably I've not been
to the Isle of Wight. I have family on the
Eye of White, not that I know. I just I've

(47:03):
got like distant relatives that live there, as I do
on the Isle of Man. And well, one of my
close relatives, my auntie, used to live on the Isle
of Man. She doesn't anymore, so that's that's not a
distant relative is that she's my auntie, but she's my
daddy's sister, or she's my granny's daughter, so her and

(47:30):
her daughter lived on the Isle of Man. The Isla
White is more distant, distant distant relations sort of my
NaN's relatives, relatives, And I'd like to visit the Isla White.
I think it's has to be quite a decent place

(47:51):
to go, quite a nice place so maybe go there
because these are more like closer places, aren't they, rather
than traveling across the world.

Speaker 8 (48:04):
About here, well, all the places that there are to
visit here that I could visit here, Yeah, I don't know.
Just maybe maybe could go and have a look around,
have a little wonder.

Speaker 1 (48:28):
But then you've got lots of islands, haven't you around
the local islands like Bergerac you're there, and is Love
Sheppy is. There's some Scottish islands that I could visit.
And I think there's like one hundred and twenty one

(48:51):
different little islands around the UK. There's a few, anyway,
I don't know if there's that many. I made that up,
but there's a few. There's definitely a few islands with
small amounts of people, you know. So I think it'd

(49:12):
be quite cool to visit some of those places. And
again it's just a ferry, isn't it, and maybe another
boat to take me to the island, as long as
I don't have to get in the water, you know,
if it's a small boat like from a ferry or

(49:33):
a ship, and then a small boat there needs to
be at least a jetty, you know, and someone to
help me off the boat. I don't want to be
like having to jump in the sea and walk up
get all wet. No, I don't no, stop asking me

(49:54):
to do that. I don't want to. So yeah, so
there's lots of places i'd quite like to visit in
the foreseeable kind of surroundings, I suppose, you know, because

(50:16):
none of this is particularly far away. It's a few hours.
A few hours, I mean, the Isle of Man is
quite on the Isle of Wight is a fair distance
because I don't know about the Isle of White. But
with the Isle of Man, i'd have to go to Liverpool,

(50:38):
I think to get the ferry from there to the
Isle of Man. So Liverpool. To get from here to
Liverpool is probably about five hours on a train, if
not more, five hours, maybe less, maybe more, maybe six hours,
and then the ferry over. If I've got a nighttime one,

(51:03):
it's going to take all night to get there. Daytime.
Daytime is usually travel quicker, don't they, But at nighttime,
and I do like a nighttime journey a nighttime ferry,
but I like a daytime fairy as well. I think

(51:26):
there's the benefits of a daytime as you can see,
you can go out on the deck and you can
see stuff. At night, you can't really see that much,
but it is more slow and more relaxed, and there's
less people the nighttime. In my experience, I've done a

(51:48):
few nighttime ferries over the years, and it's just less
people around in the nighttime. I think that, but I
guess in the majority of people prefer to travel during
the day, especially when it comes to or in the past,

(52:08):
going to Belgium, there was a very popular pastime for
people and they would travel from England to Belgium, or
England to France and basically get off the ferry, go

(52:31):
to the duty duty free place, buy lots of alcohol
and cigarettes and then get on the next ferry, back
load their lorry not the lowry, load their van or
their car with stuff and pretend that it was for

(52:52):
personal use, and then get back and sell it in
the pubs. Now, that was something that people would did
for years and years and years. And I mean there
was a time we didn't even need a passport to
go to to go abroad. You could get like a
little part like a day a day passport, a day

(53:13):
pass and because I didn't know I went abroad, oh,
I didn't get my first passport until nineteen ninety four,
and so before that time, I traveled to Belgium multiple times,

(53:34):
to France, and I flew to Spain and I didn't
have a passport, just got a like a I was
allowed to go, which is a bit weird because everywhere
I've been since then, they've all asked to see my

(53:55):
passport and this is you know, this is I've well, yeah,
I don't think I've left. Have I left the country since? Yeah,
it's not to do with us leaving Europe because a

(54:17):
few years back we basically put our little sales up
and we moved away from Europe. We moved the whole
country away, floated away, we did. It's weird, very strange.
We can actually see the sun moving to the side

(54:38):
as we moved. So yeah, so if you do travel
to England, just be aware that we're not in the
same place. Who was. They haven't changed all the maps
because they take ages and it's expensive. So plus England
is such a dot on the map anyway, you almost

(54:59):
miss if it was the scale, so it doesn't really
matter of fact. We've moved a few thousand miles. So yeah, well,
now in China. You didn't know that, No, you didn't
know it nowhere near Hong Kong. Yeah, so we moved

(55:20):
out of Europe a few years ago and the weather's changed.
It's a lot warmer now.

Speaker 6 (55:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:31):
The thing is the problem is I didn't they didn't
plan it very well because they managed to get it set,
but anchorage there wasn't enough. Anchorage didn't have enough anchors.
So we keep kind of just you wake up. You
never know when where you could have end up. The
other day, I was in Spain, woke up, looked out

(55:52):
in Spain. Three weeks ago, I was in Somalia. Just
you don't, I don't know. So yeah, and so this
is my Sunday afternoon, Sunday afternoon. There was a time

(56:17):
in England where everything was closed on a Sunday. I'm
talking everything. The only thing opened. Two things are opened
as far as for public, okay, other than you know,
going out and stuff. You know, there was still amusements

(56:37):
and all those kinds of things were open on the
weekends for people and maybe a Sunday market. But newsagents
opened on a Sunday morning and then on a Sunday
lunchtime off license could open for about an hour and

(57:01):
a half then they closed, and then they'd open up.
I think they're allowed to open up in the evening
for about an hour and a half then they close,
not one hundred percent sure that's true. And pubs would
be allowed to open up for a short period of time,
probably being between eleven and one or eleven and two.

(57:24):
The pubs would open and then they'd open again in
the evening for about seven till ten or six till ten.
They close it they close at ten o'clock. That's what
that's Honestly, that's what Sundays used to be like in
this country. No supermarkets, no anything walking around. It is

(57:51):
just not everyone to be at home, apart from those
that weren't. And it was kind of like an official
day off. I mean, and it's not official, it was
That's the reason, wasn't it so that people can have
the day off working, So probably the majority of people

(58:12):
in the country wouldn't work on a Sunday.

Speaker 5 (58:21):
Yeah, a lot.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
Different back then, and it still was like that when
I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
I'm not sure how relaxed things got, but I'm pretty
sure it was still like that when I when I
moved to London, because I lived in a small town
at that time and I moved to London and things
are different because shops were open. Some shops were open

(59:05):
all the time, like all the time, and I've never
seen that before. Like you could just get stuff whenever
you wanted, at any time of the day or night.
Not everywhere, but there were places you could get stuff.
And there was this when I lived in forest Gate.

(59:30):
There was this little shop right on the corner. Worst
shop in the world. It was on the corner and
you had to ring the doorbell for them to let
you in. So it's basically it's almost like they'd conver
their front room, their living room into a shop and

(59:54):
it's sold groceries, sweets, just bits like that. Yeah, everything
was behind the counter, so you couldn't just take what
you wanted and put it on again. They had to
get it for you and you had to ring their
doorbell and they would come and open the door. To me,

(01:00:21):
that was someone that did not want my money. They
did not want to work, they didn't want to be open.
So I just I wouldn't go there. I'd walk, I'd
walk two miles away to get stuff. I just refused
to go in there. I was very young. I was
very I was very political back then. I was very

(01:00:43):
stupid back then. I just annoyed me because a couple
of times I did try and get in there and
they just wouldn't answer the door. We're busy, Come on,
I just want to cand of coke.

Speaker 9 (01:00:56):
We're busy.

Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
Couldn't you just come? I just want one can of coke?
We're in bed. Really, can't you just give me a
can of coke? It's four in the morning. We're going
to call the police if you don't go away. We
know where you live, Okay, fair enough? So yeah, I

(01:01:22):
understand they didn't want to open the door for four
in the morning. But it's I remember when seven eleven opened. Now,
that changed the world in this country because suddenly all
they were open, because everything, even during the week everything

(01:01:45):
was closed. You know. I think the pubs had to
be closed by eleven or half ten. I think maybe
they could open a bit later at the weekends. But
the whole kind of being open late late didn't happen
till late nineties, I think maybe two thousands. Yeah. Wow,

(01:02:12):
a lot of changes, a lot of changes over the years.
But seven eleven, that was so good and I don't
know why it didn't. I mean it might still be
around parts of the country. I don't know, probably maybe
in London, if they're all cities, maybe, but it didn't

(01:02:35):
last very long there, and I never understood it because
it was the perfect place. They had everything everything you
could possibly want in it of an evening. I mean,
unless you wanted to buy some underpants or something, then
they didn't have that. If you wanted to buy a
you know, a game of chess, they didn't have that either,

(01:02:59):
you know, a packet of screws. No, didn't have that.
But they had like basic things like biscuits, cakes, drinks, alcohol, cigarettes,
and chocolates. I suppose it like basic. I think they

(01:03:22):
might have had a few basic groceries also, yeah, they probably, Yeah,
they did have basic groceries, so like tins of beans
and coffee, tea, you know, the kind of stuff that
you'd probably find it in any seven eleven around the
world because there's lots of them. It was brilliant. I

(01:03:44):
loved it now. I used to go when it first started.
I'd go in there when it first opened. I mean
i'd say, what time are you're closing, Let's say eleven?
I mean, to start with, it was like, oh, eleven o'clock.
After the fifteenth time of going in there, like every
day in a row, they said, it's still eleven o'clock.

(01:04:10):
Then after about three weeks of doing it, they took
me outside and pointed to the sign and what I
think they thought I was making fun of them, but
I wasn't, because I really I grew up seeing everything
close early, like my whole life up to the age

(01:04:31):
of sixteen seventeen or whatever. It was, everything closed early
in the evening on a Sunday, everything, And I just
couldn't believe that something was open late till eleven at night.
It was unheard of. And I kind of because of

(01:04:56):
the because I was working in the chip shop at
the time, and I didn't finish work till probably ten
half ten sometimes if it was a really busy lot
to do and stuff ten o'clock, I don't know, and
I'd go and check in that because I wanted to
make sure I could go in and get myself maybe
some drinks or some chocolate bars or something. So i'd

(01:05:19):
go in, you know, like earlier in the day, what
time you closing, I'd I'd try and get at like
a different member of staff. I always get the same answer,
eleven o'clock Jason. And so I thought, well, I'm going
to start doing is phoning them. So I phoned them up. Now,

(01:05:42):
if you go somewhere regularly and then you start to
phone them, it's a good idea to put on a
different voice if you can, because they just knew as
me straight away because I said to Hi, it's Jason
from the chip shop. What time have you closed today?

(01:06:03):
Eleven o'clock? Like every other day, it's eleven o'clock, seven eleven.
It means seven in the morning to eleven at night,
you know, and seem to want to know what time
we open. We open at seven. The clues in the sign,

(01:06:25):
the clues in the name. Thank you for calling Jason.
Now my problem is I should have put on a
different voice. Clearly, Hi, it's Jason from the chip shop.
What time you close in today? See, I just didn't

(01:06:46):
think on my feet it would be a lot easier,
but I just thought it out first, like could do
with these recordings. I mean, you wouldn't believe that I
spend probably six seven hours a day, you know, putting
on his script together. What I'm going to say, and

(01:07:08):
you know, practice in for a good two hours before
I start the recording and then it sounds so natural. Wow.
Can you imagine if I did that? Well, yeah, you
can imagine, because it'd probably be really well presented instead

(01:07:29):
of this whatever it is that I do. But this
is what you get.

Speaker 6 (01:07:36):
This is me.

Speaker 8 (01:07:38):
My name's Jason La la la la la l L.

Speaker 1 (01:07:46):
So yeah, that's it. Really, it's me talking about Sundays
and what I had did. Church used to be open
on a Sunday evening, I think it did. I know
it used to be opening on a Sunday morning because

(01:08:06):
I would often go to church with my nan, or often,
but quite a fair few times I'd go to church
with my nan when I was a teenager sort of
six fifteen, sixteen, seventeen or whatever. And then we'd go
and because there'd be a coffee place, so there'd be

(01:08:28):
a place you could get some coffee. Or was that
during the week. That might have been on a Wednesday.
Maybe she went to church on a Wednesday and I'd
go to church with her. Then maybe it was a Sunday,
I'm not sure. Maybe it was a Sunday. We'd go

(01:08:50):
and get a cup of tea and a cake, and
then I think we'd walk back. There wasn't a cute,
huge walker. This is a fair distance, but it wasn't
a huge walk. Or maybe my dad would come and
pick her up. I don't know. I don't remember exactly

(01:09:14):
how much of this is true. I did used to
go to quite yeah, quite a few times. I went
to midnight Mass with her at midnight, but then they
also had an early midnight Mass for people that couldn't

(01:09:35):
get there, you know, for midnight, which makes sense. It
doesn't make sense the way I said it, but some
people it wasn't you know, walking around at midnight wasn't
really ideal. So they did like an early one at
about seven or eight in the evening, and once one

(01:09:59):
day got a bit older, i'd probably say from yeah,
the last twenty years, No, the last two thousand and
four two four, wow, the last ten years, no, because

(01:10:27):
that's the thing, because after two thousand and four. So
I went to midnight Mass with her, but it was
early one. It was about eight o'clock. I know my
auntie was there and she wanted to go to her
church because my name's a Catholic and she had our
own church that she wanted to go to, So I'm

(01:10:49):
not sure what it was that she went to, and
she wanted to go to there as well to do
the actual midnight service. And it's still one of my
favorite Christmas is as an adult two thousand and four.
It's weird, but there's something special about it to me.

(01:11:13):
And I was staying at my nun's house in the
spare room, the room that I used to have for
myself when I was eight years old. My my own
bedroom was brilliant, and I was back sleeping in there.
My aunt and uncle were in the other room, which

(01:11:33):
was that's where my two brothers used to sleep in
bunk beds. And in my NaN's bedroom was where my
parents used to sleep, so and that's where her and
her husband, my granddad, that was their room from nineteen
seventy nine, you know onwards. So I had that room

(01:12:01):
for about a year, my little room. But I wasn't
there for a year of two thousand and four, just
there for one night, probably two or three nights. So
because I was living in a different town, so I
come over probably Christmas Eve because I was working, Yeah,
I was working, So I come over Christmas Eve. I

(01:12:24):
go out to go out to church to midnight Mass,
but it's early with my nan because she couldn't have
said she couldn't go to the late one. It was
too late for by that time because she was you know,
she had like a disability because of her hip and stuff,

(01:12:48):
so she needed a walk and stick and stuff, so
you know, walking around at night wasn't really ideal. Although
she would have got a lift, you know. And then
I say she would have got She did get a lift,
but she would have got a lift back. It was
late anyway, so she got a lift anyway. So we

(01:13:11):
went up with my aunt and uncle, and then we
came back and my aunt and uncle my Auntie wanted
to go to the other thing, but I don't think
they went in the end, because they spent too much
time talking about it and discussed with were not to go.
And by that time it was Boxing day by the
time I finished, and my Auntie did something that I've

(01:13:35):
never done before, or she sort of introduced a new,
a new Christmas Eve thing. So she went and she
got some presents off the tree and gave me a
present Christmas Eve. I said, but Auntie, it's Christmas Eve.
It's not time for presents. That's supposed to be on

(01:13:57):
Christmas Day. Sure, she said, no, we give presents Christmas Eve.
It's just one present off the tree. It's just something
we do every year. But how's father Christmas delivered him?
If he hasn't been yet, She said, you're thirty four
years old. Shut up. Wow, it's a bit harsh, wasn't it.

(01:14:19):
And so it was just sweets, basically, it was like
candy you would call it maybe if you call it
that in your country. But the thing is, I hadn't
had any chocolate since the summer, so I'd lost a

(01:14:45):
lot of weight on purpose because I kind of I
needed to get fitter. So during the June two thousand
and four, I kind of got myself nice and physically fit.
I was working on the mental fitness as well. And
I hadn't had any chocolate since the summer. So we're

(01:15:10):
talking what July, August, September, October, November for at least
four or five months. So Christmas Eve, I'm here with
these and it was one of those chocolate things that
sparkle on your tongue, and I was just it was heavenly.

(01:15:31):
It was a pleasure that I just didn't realize I
needed it was so nice. Oh and it was like
being a kid again. It was just really because I
remember good. I'll tell you one of the benefits of

(01:15:53):
being of my childhood is a lot of the nice
stuff happened when I was I know, it's good to
have nice stuff happened when you're young, when you're really young.
But one of the benefits of it happened when it
happens for the first time, when you're kind of seven
or eight, is I can still remember it now. So

(01:16:15):
certain things like chocolate that I'd never eaten before, or
riding my first bike. You know, a lot of kids
had their first bike when they'd I'd had two, three, four,
you know, so my first bike was when I was
just four as what seven I think I was, Yeah,
was seven, So I remember that. So it's quite nice

(01:16:37):
to have those little memories. Now. I wasn't four in
two thousand and four or seven in two thousand and four,
but it was a little bit like that. It's like, Okay,
this is nice, this is like a It's not that
I'd never had it before. It it was almost like
for the first time because I'd gone five months about

(01:17:01):
any chocolate, and trust me, that was a long time
for me back then to go about chocolate. I've always
been a little bit of a chocolate e person. It's
part of the culture in this country eating chocolate, sugar,
all that stuff is part of the national pastime, part

(01:17:25):
of my national identity. Stuff myself full of sugar. So yeah,
that was just a really that was a nice Christmas. Actually,
so I got to see my nan, got to see

(01:17:47):
me uncle an aunt, got to see me Dad and
that side of the family because I went there for
Christmas dinner and then went back to my NaN's in
the evening and then had Boxing Day with my nan
and Christmas dinner and Boxing Day dinner. So yeah, it
was cool. That was a nice Christmas. I mean, it's

(01:18:09):
not the only Christmas I spent at my NaN's, but
is the most memorable one. Yeah, there was another Christmas
I spent there in my NaN's brother was there, Uncle Antony,
and he was I think he was a little bit
younger than her. He was a younger brother by probably

(01:18:32):
about four years, three or four years and maybe maybe
older brother. I don't know. I think younger brother. I
think I might be wrong, but marginally younger. I think
she had about twelve brothers and sisters my name.

Speaker 4 (01:18:53):
And.

Speaker 1 (01:18:56):
He it was funny. It was not funny funny, but
he'd watched the TV downstairs and he'd had it on
so loud. I literally like was just there all night
try I struggled to sleep because the TV was blaring out.
She couldn't hear it. It's as simple as that wasn't

(01:19:18):
what he wasn't being inconsiderate. He just couldn't hear the TV,
so he had to turn it up in order to
hear it. And I think my men went down there
and told him off because she was concerned about the neighbors,
because she always had a really good relationship with the

(01:19:38):
next door neighbor, him and his family, or the couple
and their family. And it was still it was the
same next door neighbor they had that we had when
we lived there before they moved in, and we kept
I say we, I and my family was still in
contact with that next door I mean I was still

(01:20:03):
in contact with that family. I was still visiting going
around there in nineteen ninety. In fact, no, I was
still going around there. Wow, I was still going around
there in the early nineties. When I visit, I still
go in there because I was friends with a boy

(01:20:26):
and I really liked the girl. I was friends with
her as well, and I got on well with the
parents because I've known her since I was seven or
eight years old, seven and a half eight, so they'd
known me kind of almost all my life in a way.
You think from seven and a half to twenty twenty one,

(01:20:51):
twenty two whatever, that's a long time. And they lived
there and they loved my well. I love my nan
and granddad, but you know, they looked out for my
name when she lived there on her own.

Speaker 6 (01:21:06):
And.

Speaker 1 (01:21:10):
Really nice people. It's weird. It's like, I don't want
to sort of say too much, but I don't even
know what this situation is anymore. But the lady that
lived there was a nurse. I'm not sure what a
husband did. I think he might have worked on the docks.

(01:21:32):
And I was at school with both the kids. So
I was at school with the boy who was the
same age as my brother, my first older brother, and
then his sister who was probably two years younger than me,

(01:21:57):
maybe three years, two years probably, I don't know. I
kind of noticed her when I was twenty I knew,
but I kind of like suddenly it was weird because
she was very beautiful. That's not the weird part. But
she had a birthmark on her face, which did not

(01:22:24):
take away her beauty, you know what I mean. She
was a very beautiful face. And I always liked the
rifle when I was a kid because she's, you know,
only marginally younger than me. So I always liked her
as a because when I was when I was ten,
she was eight, you know. But she had it removed.

(01:22:45):
She had the birthmark removed, and it was just like
a brown birthmark or something. It changed her personality. So
I'm not saying she's being sweet, because she was a
very sweet girl. She she was still sweet in her

(01:23:07):
own way, but she became very confident and she enjoyed
all the attention that she was getting from the boys,
which is natural. But to me, she didn't look any
different really. I mean, it's only because she told me

(01:23:31):
that she'd had it removed that I really noticed it, because,
you know, I said, I've known her for a long
long time, a long long time, and it's weird because
I remember her because there was like four years between
her and her oldest brother, she'd her oldest her oldest

(01:23:54):
brother's friends would come around, and I remember her saying, oh,
can I come with you? Because they'd all go out,
and she said, no, go away, because I didn't want
this little girl coming around. He didn't want her pestuing them.
And the other his friends would say go away, go away.
They didn't want a pest in them. And then when

(01:24:18):
she was about fifteen sixteen, they didn't seem to mind
her hanging around anymore. And I remember when I think
she's about seventeen or eighteen, and there was literally a
cue of men or boys trying to win her heart.

(01:24:42):
It was seriously like knocking on the door and following
her around like little puppies. It was very funny and
that booster of confidence. I mean, that would have been
happening anyway. But I guess the that personality change just

(01:25:11):
from having one like Mark removed. One thing changed which
made her feel different. And there's a whole book called Cybernetics. Cybernetics,
it's a very famous book about a plastic surgeon, and

(01:25:37):
he's written by a plastic surgeon and he noticed that
the personality changes in people that had work done and
how it was he couldn't believe the transformation. It could
have not on someone's appearance, because that wouldn't surprise him,

(01:25:59):
because that's what he did for that. He was surprised
at the transformation and personality. And he wrote a whole
book about it, Cybernetics, and I usued to have it.
I've read it a few times, and it's quite a
big book in the self help like literature library thing.

(01:26:21):
It's cybernetics, cyber cybernetics, something like that. Yeah, it's a
good book. It's very interesting. I mean, it kind of
makes sense, but at the same time, it's like, really,
maybe maybe that's why I should have done. Maybe if

(01:26:45):
I had a bit of surgery, I could increase my confidence,
have it shortened or something. You know, it's just too
big and I don't know, just to have my nose. Yeah,
but I don't know. Maybe I don't know what i'd have.

(01:27:13):
There's a few things I could probably do. In fact,
I'm pretty sure if I went to a plastic surgeon
and said, just list all the things that I need doing,
we'd be there for a while. You'd have to cancel

(01:27:36):
all his clients for about a week, just so he
could list off all the things that I needed to
do in probably but I won't be having anything. I
don't think i'll have anything done in the future. I
don't know I could have done in the past if

(01:28:02):
I wanted to, didn't really, I guess the way I
see it is take me for what I am, take
me for how I am. And I'm not going to wear,
you know, tall shoes to make myself look taller. I'm

(01:28:23):
not going to dye my hair to pretend that I'm
not going gray. I'm not going to get a hair
transplant in my bald spots. Not there's anything wrong with
doing any of those things, but I'm just not going
to do any of that stuff. And I'm not going
to pretend I'm a different age. Things I can do,

(01:28:50):
I suppose practical logical things is take better care of myself,
eat a better diet, exercise bare Yeah, those kinds of things.
Basic stuff, really, isn't it. But I found that one

(01:29:19):
way it's shortcut with dieting. Wear bigger clothes. Seriously, if
you wear bigger tops, really like large tops, extra extra
extra large, almost looks like you've lost weight. It works.
I do it. I literally do that now. Although some

(01:29:42):
of my tops are just a bit bagger because I
have actually lost weight, not recently, but last year I did.
I lost the stone and I haven't put it back
on because I stopped having sugar in my tea and
I cut down. I stopped having I didn't don't drink
hope anymore. And I have minimum minimum amount chocolate. I

(01:30:07):
used to eat chocolate every single day.

Speaker 10 (01:30:11):
So yeah, and that I do believe laddies and gentlemen.

Speaker 1 (01:30:24):
Is the end of this recording.

Speaker 6 (01:30:29):
Me me, me, me me.

Speaker 1 (01:30:32):
So thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself,
because you do deserve to be happy and be gentle
with yourself. You deserve to feel safe, lots of love. Bye.

(01:30:59):
Relax in a more deep and meaningful way, maybe in
a way that can not just allow you to feel

(01:31:20):
calmer now and throughout the time we spend together here,
not just relaxed at the end of the recording when
it's finished and you can enjoy that sense of comfort

(01:31:44):
and peace, But also I think it would be nice
to have those feelings of relaxation continue for longer after

(01:32:19):
the recording has ended, so that you can still benefit
from listening to my voice. Maybe in a few hours

(01:32:40):
time perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly, especially if
you find like some people do and myself as well,

(01:33:00):
sometimes I find one particular recording that really resonates with me,
and I just listen to it over and over again
every morning, every evening. There was this recording from We're

(01:33:29):
going back to about nineteen ninety nine. It was it
wasn't hypnosis, but it was a guided visualizations. It kind
of was hypnosis, really.

Speaker 6 (01:33:43):
And.

Speaker 1 (01:33:45):
I managed to find it again and it still has
the same effect on me. And part of it was
the person's voice relaxed me. She just felt so peaceful,

(01:34:10):
and I'd look forward to listening to her in the
morning and in the evening. And I knew before even
pressing the play button that as since I've done that,

(01:34:37):
pressed the play button. This was in the days of
CD players pressed the play button. In fact, it might
have even been a tape tape recorder. I'd lie down

(01:34:59):
on the bed and then even without necessarily listening to
her words because I had them memorized. Really, it was

(01:35:25):
as if my body knew exactly what to do, and
the muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and I

(01:35:57):
remember my mind would slow down now now, I was
listening to this recording in the early days of learning hypnosis,

(01:36:21):
and long before I ever made any videos or audio
recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that till two
thousand and six. I knew, I knew how helpful I

(01:36:53):
found being able to just let go, to have that
trust in the person that I'm listening to, knowing that

(01:37:17):
it's going to be just as relaxing, if not more so.
Each time you hear my voice, you may feel the same.

(01:37:41):
Some people have been listening to me for over a decade,
maybe not solidly, obviously, not only four hours a day,

(01:38:02):
but maybe people come back. Some people maybe listen every day.
That's something that I do which you may not realize

(01:38:29):
by listening, is when I record these recordings. Now, for example,

(01:38:52):
I also am affected by the words say so, if
I set to you focus on your feet, notice your

(01:39:15):
feet relaxing. I will be focusing on my feet. I
will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said, focus

(01:39:45):
on your hands, and maybe notice the difference between each hand,
Perhaps notice the the air in the room, a temperature
of the room. On the backs of your hands. You

(01:40:15):
may start to notice what almost feels like a very
light breeze, even though there may not be any type
of breeze at all where you are right now. And

(01:40:41):
as you become aware of your hands, I'm also aware
of how relaxed my hands our feeling now and when

(01:41:20):
it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which may
be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy when

(01:41:44):
I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.

(01:42:05):
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing,
and then I carry on talking. And it's only when

(01:42:32):
I listen back to do the editing I hear snoring
and I think I don't remember snoring. I remember talking.

(01:42:53):
Snoring was a pick turned up. That's why I sound
like when I snore. How I get read into a
whole experience. I don't know how you feel. How relaxed

(01:43:29):
do you feel in your feet, how relaxed you feel
in your hands. I have noticed more and more that

(01:44:06):
the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel, the
easier your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation.

(01:44:47):
So this allows you to breathe easier without necessarily focusing

(01:45:10):
on your breath however, being able to notice the ease

(01:45:39):
in which you breathe so naturally, you breathe so very

(01:46:06):
easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving, when

(01:46:55):
I've got my eyes closed, I tend to visualize a
beautiful field with trees and flowers producing all that life

(01:47:27):
giving oxygen. And it feels nice too, if nothing else,

(01:48:00):
h just taking some time away from everything, enjoying that

(01:48:36):
feeling of peace serenity with a joyful heart. Time seems

(01:49:27):
to just drip by so very slowly, relaxed, so deeply, peaceful,

(01:50:13):
completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free,

(01:51:22):
noticing that your mind slowed down, slowed down because nothing

(01:52:17):
really requires your attention. You can enjoy the physical sensations

(01:52:48):
of allowing the stress to direct out of your body,
to appear out of every part of your body, and

(01:53:24):
being released from your brain change your mind slowly but surely,

(01:54:10):
The muscles in your legs relax ras res so very deep.

Speaker 6 (01:54:48):
Thing.

Speaker 1 (01:54:58):
Reas so deeply, and the feelings, the pleasant feelings in

(01:55:29):
your arms and shoulders deepening each part of your body

(01:55:57):
further and deeper and deeper, not to say the feelings

(01:56:35):
in the back of your neck. I feel ends in

(01:57:00):
your wrists, muscles, in the front of your body, I

(01:57:49):
will say, feeling peaceful, deeping. There's a sense of pace

(01:58:37):
spreads through your very Coreven.

Speaker 11 (01:59:13):
When you focus on your mind, her mind becomes.

Speaker 1 (01:59:39):
Be and slowven deep relaxing, very slow, your stomach pea's

(02:01:17):
fall in your stomach, held back. Notice. Notice how relaxed

(02:02:04):

(02:02:42):
spy from your brain all the way down in the
middle of your back, sending and receiving HM millions of
messages every day, deepcomfort, increasing deeply relaxed, your knees, relax

(02:04:33):
spreading those signals down your spine or cord into air.
Every part of your body sh ends in your calf, muscles,

(02:05:29):
your outbows, feelings of peace and tranquility spreading through your

(02:05:58):
body HM, tips of your toes, to your eyes, your fingers,

(02:06:19):
all the way till you'll lower back, letting go, reating pace,

(02:07:21):
drift in mind. Just wander in a way, happy to

(02:07:47):
let go, let go completely, let her said, tranquil your

(02:08:52):
whole body enjoying a sensor listening God he more ey

(02:11:13):
enjoy the space, this space of peace, and safety. Surery

(02:13:34):
letting go. Maybe we can just focus on the different

(02:13:59):
parts of your body, just to notice your forehead and

(02:14:34):
your eyes mutual, so loose, noticing the sense of complete freedom,

(02:15:52):
absolute freedom, day, peace form energy, pace, to breeze, so

(02:17:49):
much ease yea les you may you may not have

(02:19:00):
at tist, your mind drifting peaceful with many even more

(02:20:00):
deeply in the direction of total blissful pace, blisshul pace

(02:20:54):
directed to pace.

Speaker 12 (02:22:08):
Co he said, Colm, let him go, peace.

Speaker 13 (02:22:54):
Of mind, relaxed body, cy rex cy relaxed.

Speaker 1 (02:24:03):
Her body feels almost invisible, so very relaxed and paceful.

Speaker 5 (02:24:36):
So pace from m r Leo's fair.

Speaker 1 (02:25:44):
And you could start to notice that you are feeling
more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused your mind
upon that sense of physical comfort that is growing within

(02:26:10):
you throughout your body, and your mind starts to slow down.
And that could be almost in recognition of I guess

(02:26:32):
my speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally
feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice, you give

(02:26:57):
yourself an opportunity to take a break from the day,
take a break from your life as it is, and
to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take

(02:27:22):
some time off and to allow your body to relax
and allow your mind to slow down, which in turn
releases the tension any stresses that you had in your body.

(02:27:51):
It's almost as if the parts of your body just
open up, allowing the negativity and at the same time
replacing that negativity with positive healing energy, which then fills

(02:28:19):
your body up and your mind to also starts to
appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling,

(02:28:48):
positive healing, an energy that spreads through your body like
a wave of comfort. And all this comes from just

(02:29:16):
allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however
long you want it to be, to just rest and
allow your mind and your body to almost reset itself

(02:29:47):
to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows
more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move

(02:30:17):
around your body and into your mind, almost as if
your mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring
each other, with that growing positivity and calmness. And it

(02:30:49):
feels nice, really does feel nice to know that you
are the one that has allowed yourself to feel more
comfort and to experience more of this deep relaxation spreading

(02:31:25):
throughout your body. And as I focus on each part
of your body, you can notice that that part becomes

(02:31:49):
even more relaxed just by focusing on its even more
calm and comfortable just by focusing. And as I move

(02:32:14):
down your body, starting at your head, the parts that
you have already focused on will continue to relax deeply,
and those parts that have not yet focused on or

(02:32:38):
just automatically release any remain intention in anticipation of even
more comfort about to come. Now, I'm going to start

(02:33:03):
by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware the feelings
of your forehead and then your background sounds like mister
Herbert Opigeon can just allow you to feel even more relaxed.

(02:33:31):
Just means you're in the moment. This isn't this isn't
a sterile environment. This is the world. I live in
the countryside, so there's lots of nature sounds around. So

(02:33:58):
as you focus on your forehead, just notice how it
becomes even more relaxed as you focus only on my
voice and that part of your body. Moving down to

(02:34:23):
your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing how your eyelids
feel so heavy yet so light at the same time,

(02:34:46):
and all the muscles around your eyes relaxing completely. Moving
your focus down to your mouth, your lips, your tongue,
your teeth, You comes the whole of your mouth, relaxing,

(02:35:17):
calm and loose as you focus now on your jaw,
just the parts of your jaw near your mouth and
your chin, but all the way up the size of

(02:35:39):
your face to your ears, the hole of your jaw,
feeding more relaxed.

Speaker 6 (02:36:00):
Calm.

Speaker 1 (02:36:08):
Focusing on your neck, the front of your neck and
your throat relaxing and loose and calm. The sides of

(02:36:30):
your neck, right and left side of your neck relax
and loose.

Speaker 6 (02:36:46):
And calm.

Speaker 1 (02:36:53):
And now the back of your neck, focusing on the
back of your neck, letting go of any tension that
may have been there before, and enjoying that sense of

(02:37:20):
increasing comfort and release that you can experience in the
back of your neck. Moving down your back and moving

(02:37:44):
either side of your spine right from the top of
your back all the way down to the bottom of
your back, down to your lower back. As you move

(02:38:11):
up and down your spine, you can feel the muscles
either side of your spine relaxing even more, and as

(02:38:34):
those muscles relax. That sense of comfort starts to spread
outwards from your spine into both sides of your back,

(02:38:55):
the top of your back, the middle, and your lower back.
And as you scan gently and slowly up and down
your back, there's the muscles in the top of your
back relax and become looser. The muscles in the middle

(02:39:24):
of your back also seem to just almost divide from
each other, separating and almost melting. And in your lower

(02:39:45):
back there seems to be an extra special feeling of comfort.
The spreads into your hips. Sit down your lower back,

(02:40:09):
into your hips, into the area where your cosicks are,
and into your buttocks, and always muscles that spread bring

(02:40:29):
your lower back into your hip area, start to melt,
start to really let go, and you know where about

(02:40:56):
to focus on your shoulders. Your back and your spine
will continue to let go, continue to relax so calmly.

(02:41:24):
As you focus on your shoulders, you may notice they're
already feeling really loose, They're already feeding come and fear.

(02:42:05):
Those muscles then move from your neck into your shoulders.
Feel so soft and gentle, so smooth.

Speaker 6 (02:42:37):
And calm, and.

Speaker 1 (02:42:50):
The feeling in your shoulders seems to spread deep into
your shoulders, a sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply

(02:43:13):
into your muscles, but also relaxing the bones and moving
all the way to underneath your arms, relaxing a whole

(02:43:39):
area between the tops of your shoulders and underneath your
arms heathing.

Speaker 6 (02:43:55):
You feel so.

Speaker 1 (02:43:57):
Relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders, which sense that's deep
healing message into your arms. You may feel almost as

(02:44:33):
if your arms are not even there, because they're so relaxed,
so deeply relaxed, so calm.

Speaker 4 (02:45:14):
So.

Speaker 1 (02:45:21):
This that feelings spreading all the way down your arms,
two elbows, including your elbows circumforts spread away into rests

(02:46:12):
your forearms ndrrists so heavy, yet at the same time

(02:46:37):
sunlight and gentle frey sent now on your hands.

Speaker 14 (02:47:36):
Your hands so peaceful in your hands, the sense.

Speaker 6 (02:48:08):
Of real pace.

Speaker 1 (02:48:25):
It just seems to feel so familiar when your hands
relax deeply.

Speaker 15 (02:48:51):
Else things things you think it taps, making your attention

(02:50:49):
to front, to your body.

Speaker 1 (02:51:04):
Sure console the man you focus to legs, I, my

(02:52:40):

(02:57:31):
chest storm. So relax, lets me go.

Speaker 6 (02:57:51):
Everything.

Speaker 1 (02:58:03):
So I'm gonna start counting down now from twenty down
to one. You can imagine in a way it's like
just walking down some steps and each step or twenty steps,

(02:58:24):
and each step represents a level of comfort, each step
represents a deepening of that comfort, and the furvies you

(02:58:50):
walk down those steps deeper and more relaxed you feel.
So starting with number twenty twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteenhhhhhhhh

(03:02:53):
three fourhhhhhhhh FI too well.

Speaker 4 (03:06:36):
USUSUI believe.

Speaker 1 (03:10:02):
Eight snhhhhhhh six five.

Speaker 16 (03:15:03):
Four us.

Speaker 6 (03:19:42):
No.

Speaker 1 (03:19:47):
As you focus on your lives, We're gonna count down
from ten down to one, focusing just on your eyes,

(03:20:15):
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves,
a whole area that makes up your eye. And as

(03:20:42):
we count down.

Speaker 6 (03:20:44):
From ten.

Speaker 1 (03:20:46):
Down to one, whilst focus in on your eyes, you
become twice is relaxed with each number counting down that

(03:21:14):
you may find the all you want to do is
just drift off to sleep, And if that's what you want,
then just allow yourself to do that. Now, focusing on

(03:21:47):
your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down from ten
down to one.

Speaker 6 (03:21:59):
Right now, two.

Speaker 1 (03:22:35):
Nine eight seven four.

Speaker 6 (03:28:32):
Three mossis.

Speaker 1 (03:31:06):
One, So counting down from ten to one ten nine

(03:31:29):
eight seven six five four three two one. And maybe

(03:31:57):
that was a bit too quick in order to relax.
Maybe it's a bit too fast for you to notice
the calming of your body, maybe even a little bit
of pressure there, like you're counting down from ten to one.

(03:32:18):
Would you expect me to do? Man, expect me to
just to go with floppy just because you're counting down.
You could try it again, but this time I'll go
a bit slower this time, as you focus on the

(03:32:42):
whole of your body before we focus on your legs.
Just notice how your body does start to feel more
relaxed with every number that I count down ten nine

(03:33:23):
eight seven, six five four.

Speaker 17 (03:34:05):
Three one, And just notice how.

Speaker 1 (03:34:55):
How you feel generally, how your body feels. It's not
necessarily even about counting down from ten to one. It's

(03:35:16):
that space that you have, that space between being active
physically or mentally to just sitting or lying down, just

(03:35:45):
being there, not doing anything, not saying anything, or needing
to think about anything. So it opens up a space,
you know, a bit of a space, a gap. And

(03:36:07):
the more I came down from ten to one, the
bigger that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness,
of comfort, relaxation. It's a nice feeling, and it moves

(03:36:38):
those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them away.
Allows you.

Speaker 5 (03:36:59):
To just.

Speaker 1 (03:37:02):
Slow down, someone to count again from ten down to one,
and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,
it's almost like the stress and attention falls into the

(03:37:26):
gap and gives you that distance, that space.

Speaker 6 (03:37:46):
Now ten.

Speaker 1 (03:37:56):
Nine, eight, seven, six, five.

Speaker 6 (03:38:47):
Four.

Speaker 1 (03:39:05):
Three two.

Speaker 6 (03:39:41):
One.

Speaker 1 (03:39:52):
Then how did your body feel.

Speaker 6 (03:39:59):
Now?

Speaker 1 (03:40:12):
Can you notice that they are feeling calmer, the feeling
more relaxed. As we now focus on your legs, just

(03:40:54):
your legs. We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs.

(03:41:30):
Of course, it's not the most exciting thing to be doing,
because I'm sure like most of your body is not
a lot going on right now. Just focusing on the

(03:41:54):
whole of your thighs, the tops of your fire, the
sides of your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your
outer thighs, and your inner thighs, basically the whole of
your thigh that leads into your hip and it goes

(03:42:22):
down to your knee joint. Now, this is a big area,
it's a very heavy area. It's very strong, probably the
strongest muscles in your body or in your thighs. But

(03:42:56):
I don't think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs.
Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to

(03:43:21):
our lives, how much they actually do for us all

(03:43:42):
through our lives. And it may seem sound really weird,
but I think that all of our body parts, especially
our thighs, need some TLC, a bit of love shown,

(03:44:10):
a bit of acknowledgement, thank you, gratitude for our thighs
do for us. And I know this may sound a

(03:44:38):
bit strange. Maybe you think, why am I? Surely I
should be out in the garden hugging a tree or something. Well,
it's hard to set a microphone up on a tree.
That's why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I would be

(03:44:59):
outside of her in the tree. I can't see the television.

Speaker 6 (03:45:03):
From the tree.

Speaker 1 (03:45:10):
If you move down to your knees gain such an
important part. And I think we don't necessarily I'll speak
for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate all that my

(03:45:31):
needs do for me until I have a problem with
my knee. It's occasionally, if I ever, maybe i'll bash it,
or it's aching for some reason. It's then that I
realize how much it does. You know, the benefit of

(03:45:54):
being able to use my legs without any kind of
physical discomfort is a beautiful thing that's possibly not appreciated
until it's temporarily removed. You know that's comfort. But as

(03:46:21):
you focus on your knees, regardless of how your knees feel,
you can have that sense of gratitude and love to
your knees for all that they do for you, and

(03:46:48):
you can still have that attention on your thighs. Maybe
notice how your thighs feel, Maybe you've noticed that they
are are relaxing more deeply as you focus now on

(03:47:17):
the bottoms of your legs, your shins and your calf muscles,
the bones between your knees and your feet incorporate, and
of course your ankles so important. You know, anyone that's

(03:47:41):
had even like the slightest sprain of an ankle knows
how how much we take. Our ankles are, for granted,
and it's aren't it strange in a way when you

(03:48:01):
think that. You know, logically our wrists are a lot
thinner than the rest of our arms, which is okay,
It doesn't can't see any problem with that because we're
just picking stuff up by our ankles so much thinner

(03:48:24):
than the rest of our legs. And from a physics
perspective or logical even it doesn't really make sense that
all this weight would ultimately be resting on your ankles

(03:48:47):
then leading to your feet that thin area, thin bone. Yeah,
it does so much great work. Supports us, supports our
body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, It helps

(03:49:18):
you to get around and be mobile. And there's the
calf muscles. Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't

(03:49:39):
see the point in calf muscles didn't seem to do anything. Okay,
if I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles
get some work. But of course that's not true. The
calf muscles are being used whenever we use our legs,

(03:50:03):
and your shins there to protect your lower legs shaped
in a way, almost as a protector for the bone,

(03:50:28):
leading of course to your ankles and your feet. But
we're not going to focus on your feet. We're just
going to focus on the legs. I realize, and now

(03:50:48):
that I've mentioned your feet, you'll probably focus on them anyway,
So maybe I should focus on your feet a little bit.
You can have them in your awareness the same as
you have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we

(03:51:09):
haven't been focusing on your thighs a few minutes and
we're focusing on your ankles, there's still that sensation of

(03:51:29):
comfort in your thighs, and there's that movement of energy
because the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course,

(03:51:51):
there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that we have
in our thighs, but the skin on the outside of
the thighs, as in the outside of all of our body,

(03:52:15):
can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature,
and inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's

(03:52:41):
the blood, vessels, the ar trees to all this stuff
that inside your thighs. I guess sometimes it'd be nice
if you could actually put your fingers inside your thighs
and a message, so you can message on the outside,

(03:53:05):
of course, and to be able to get deep into
the muscles and to be able to just message inside
your thighs, message in the bones of your leg massage
in or the veins, just gently healing your thighs and

(03:53:34):
you can move down message and inside your knees. Just
message in those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading that
healing energy deep into the choice of your knees. Of course,

(03:53:59):
there's the back, Okay, you need the inside crease where
your need is. It's a very sensitive area, very it
feels very nice when you stroke it. That might be
because it's an area that's not really touched very often.

(03:54:22):
It's almost like a hidden part, that crease in your legs.
It's almost.

Speaker 6 (03:54:32):
Like a part that.

Speaker 1 (03:54:35):
Has a sensitivity, which is a little bit different. Of course,
it's protected by your legs. So you can imagine putting

(03:54:57):
your fingers into that crease your legs fold in between
your legs. You can just message with your fingertips. Imagine
your fingertips going inside message in the muscle or tissue.

(03:55:24):
You can of course feel the bones of your knees
heading through your fingertips, and then as you go down
to your calf muscles, and that's the part I'd like

(03:55:46):
to be able to really put my fingertips deep inside
my calf muscles, message in every single tissue of the muscle.

Speaker 9 (03:56:02):
Healing every part, and then doing.

Speaker 1 (03:56:10):
The same for my shins, massage and generally stroking the bones,
generally stroking them, healing in a loving way because they
deserve to be treated. There's the precious bones that they are,

(03:56:34):
because our legs are so precious as in all the
other parts of our body, the more precious of anyture
on the planet. When you start to think about your

(03:57:02):
legs in this way, it can change your perspective. It
might sound a bit a bit silly to start with
the idea of having love for your legs, showing appreciation

(03:57:28):
for your thighs, wanting to be able to put your
hands in your thighs, massage the muscles and the bones,
and to get your fingers deep in there, releasing all tension,

(03:57:53):
just to show how much you care about your legs.
What do you care for what your legs do for
you regularly, your knees, your calves, your ankles, the strength

(03:58:20):
of your ankles, considering how thin they are compared to
the rest of your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah, they're
so strong, so flexible, absolutely amazing things. Your ankles are

(03:58:51):
truly a gift because of what they do for you
supporting all that weight. Regardless of how what weight you are,
even if you only eat ate stone, there's still a

(03:59:15):
lot of weight for these little ankles. Now I am
a lot heavier than eight stone, double dock get My
ankles support my body all the time. Whether they do

(03:59:39):
give off a sigh of relief when I sit down,
as you've had, my whole.

Speaker 6 (03:59:45):
Legs to.

Speaker 1 (03:59:49):
My feet feel also go my toes clap so happy.

(04:00:16):
Your legs really are amazing. I don't know they're talking about.
Talking about your legs is probably possibly among the most
the most boring things you've ever heard anyone say. Possibly

(04:00:40):
you're boring or not. Everything I said is true. Your
legs are amazing. Your legs is not just respect. They

(04:01:08):
deserve to relax deeply. They deserve to take some time
out of the day to just let go completely relax.

(04:01:50):
I really can relax because the legs are so such
a most you know, very important part of your body.
When you relax legs. The rest of your body also

(04:02:14):
naturally follows in that journey of comfort, Like I feel
it in my hips. My hips feel really loose, and

(04:02:40):
also my lower back as well. My lower back really
feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting in
a chair and there's no stretching as far as I'm
aware that I'm doing. But it's almost as if the
sours that just relaxed so much that there is a

(04:03:04):
natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot. And

(04:03:28):
I'm now going to count down from ten down to one.
You can continue to fill wonderfully relaxed ten nine eight

(04:03:58):
seven six five.

Speaker 6 (04:04:10):
Four three.

Speaker 1 (04:04:18):
Two one relax. So I'm just going to count down

(04:04:40):
five down to one. And as a countdown, if you
just focus on the numbers, just the numbers counting down,
and notice how you feel in this moment as you

(04:05:02):
hear the numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers counting
down represent you feeling calmer, not just in your body,
but also relaxing your mind. Just notice how you feel.

(04:05:30):
There's nothing to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing
to think about. Starting with number five, four three two.

Speaker 6 (04:06:18):
One.

Speaker 1 (04:06:28):
How as you notice the gradual letting go of the
tension in your body. You may also begin to notice
and be aware of how your mind is starting to

(04:06:56):
slow down. This is just a natural thing that happens.
It's not really a special procedure. It's just natural. Because
is your body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax.

(04:07:18):
And the more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes.
It's just a continuous circle of relaxation. And there's that
calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know, even even

(04:07:42):
if there's background sounds, either your side or mine, it's
still going to be quite calm. You know, you haven't
got the television on, there's no music in the background,
unless you're listening to the recorded with music. Of course,

(04:08:07):
you're very likely not going to be sitting in a
room with other people. Of course you might be, but
generally it's more ideal if you can do this on
your own, so no distractions, and when you stop thinking

(04:08:29):
about stuff, relaxation automatically rises. A sense of comfort starts
to grow, and without trying to build it up into

(04:08:55):
something fantastical or something magical, this is just a natural process,
something that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost you know,

(04:09:20):
the sense of relaxing completely happens really when you put
no effort into it. It's not something that you can
really force. It's something that happens naturally. And part of

(04:09:43):
the process of this recording and others is simply two
allow you to take advantage of this space this time,

(04:10:08):
to just let go, to just be here, to be
in tune with how you feel, yet with the intention

(04:10:35):
of wanting to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep,
depending on what it is that you wish for yourself
in this moment. As we know, relaxing is the majority

(04:11:11):
of the process of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep
part is the tiny bit at the end. The deeper
relaxed you become, the easier you find yourself drifting. But

(04:11:46):
you can also if you choose stay focused on my
voice and really enjoy the process gradually relaxing each muscle

(04:12:27):
in your body effortlessly and just observing the sensation of

(04:12:54):
letting go completely. This time, I'm going to count from
six down to one, and you can notice your mind

(04:13:22):
calming down more with each number that you hear me say. Naturally,
feeling calm and slow, be peaceful sex five four three,

(04:16:39):
being aware of how your mind to slow right down,
sinking deeply it to really session. And as you focus

(04:17:15):
on your mind, you may notice that there are some
thoughts still there, maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some
reason perhaps need your attention. So what you can do

(04:17:47):
is send love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love,
my lord, petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them,

(04:18:13):
petals feel good love towards those thoughts. To let those
thoughts Mother, You're not abandon the number. You just need them.
You require them to just calm down, slow down, quiet down.

Speaker 6 (04:18:44):
For now.

Speaker 1 (04:18:52):
So as you focus on those remaining thoughts as we
count down this time from sex down to one. With
each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness,

(04:19:19):
gratitude over those thoughts, which will allow them to just
not away and relax deeply. Of every number, those thoughts

(04:19:47):
will become more and more relaxed. St If number seven six, five.

Speaker 6 (04:20:55):
Four three one, let you.

Speaker 1 (04:22:31):
Now notice how relaxed you're feeling in your body. We

(04:22:57):
got to focus on your hands, because the more relaxed
your hands on the more relax your body and mind.

(04:23:33):
This you focus on your hands and your fingers. There's
nothing needed to be done. There's no clenching the fists
or dance in the fingers or anything like that. It's

(04:24:01):
just noticing and focusing on your hands. Not to sing,
merely feel. Because the more relaxed do your hands feel,

(04:24:40):
the calm how your mind feels, and the more comforts
you feel throughout your body. Geez may have wardy latticed.

(04:25:17):
You mind is starting to dress. Said, just on your

(04:25:52):
hands and fingers, allowing them cheat experience a real deepening
of that relaxation in your hands and fingers, more and

(04:26:27):
more relaxed. With each number from eight down to one,

(04:26:51):
you can almost feel that healing, relaxing energy spread it
into your hands and fingers, becoming relaxing with each number

(04:27:25):
you hear, going down eight down to one, drifting drifted again.

(04:27:50):
Started with number eight, seven, three, just being here now,

(04:31:56):
nothing to think about, nothing to do, nothing to say,
and everything just feels calm. This is your natural state

(04:32:18):
of being. This is how you just normally feel when
you take away all that other stuff that we add.
I think that stress and what we're hear.

Speaker 18 (04:32:42):
O't think.

Speaker 1 (04:32:46):
Anxiety and ten ship thinking about stuff. You take that away,
we do now you left with a real sense of

(04:33:14):
peacefulness which comes to you very quickly because ansomately, it's
just a feeling, a feeling of comfort, almost as if

(04:33:40):
you've got inside yourself. You've found a special place where
everything is peaceful. Place week in the film relaxed and

(04:34:01):
your natural sense of comfort, the place where you have
been here we can accept yourself and you are in

(04:34:22):
the place where you're not trying to release anybody else,
in place where you can actually not just love yourself,
but in some ways more importantly, you can like yourself,

(04:34:49):
appreciate who you are, a sense of gratitude. See the
air around that's also a place where you can actually

(04:35:22):
feel the healing energy soaking into your body. Healing energy
soaking into your body, A healing energy spreads through your vein,

(04:35:53):
traveling to each every single part of your body, and
you start to realize that actually that healing energy, it's

(04:36:13):
not just entered into your brain, it's become a part
of your brain, and the spinal fluid is now mixed
up healing energy, not just allowing you to feel so

(04:36:43):
much more relaxed and healthy.

Speaker 18 (04:36:48):
In this moment.

Speaker 1 (04:36:54):
But also we start to realize that actually, what's happening
now with that healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body,

(04:37:14):
it's actually changing your life. It's actually changing the way
you're going to feel not just now, but tomorrow and
the next day. Because your health improves, not just your

(04:37:41):
physical health, but your mental health. Things that used to
bother you in the past, for some reason, no longer
have the effect that they used to because something has changed.

Speaker 18 (04:38:05):
Deep within you.

Speaker 1 (04:38:11):
Maybe things that used to cause you to feel anger
no longer have that power to control you the way

(04:38:32):
they seem to be able to before. As you realize
that you're the one who decides what affects you, you're

(04:38:54):
the one who decides to feel relaxed and calm when
you choose to enjoy noticing these natural developments and healing

(04:39:22):
continue to grow and improve your life day by day,
including of course, your ability to relax so much easier

(04:39:50):
and sleeping. It's the most natural thing in the world
to you because fall in the sleep is something that
you've done so many times in your life, and you

(04:40:20):
know that you were born, as we all were, with
the ability to fall asleep naturally. We were born with
that ability to just drift off into a deep, healing sleep.

(04:40:54):
Even when we're kids, sometimes will fall asleep when we're done.

Speaker 6 (04:40:59):
You want to.

Speaker 1 (04:41:02):
Trying to think of stay awake. Maybe it's a birthday
in the morning, or it's Christmas or holiday or something
we look forward to now when I go to sleep.
But the more you want to stay awake, the more
we just start to drift. And the more you fights drifting,

(04:41:30):
which might stop yourself and drifting the same the depots
stronger thout drifting becomes because we're born not just with
the need to relax deeply and to naturally fall asleep,

(04:41:57):
but it's our birth right, it's part of our DNA,
and sometimes as we get older in life, perhaps at
times we have forgotten relaxing completely. It's not only a

(04:42:31):
wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy. It's very very

(04:42:55):
easy to let go because that's all it is.

Speaker 18 (04:43:01):
It's just.

Speaker 1 (04:43:05):
Deciding to that go. And when you press the play
button on my recordings, you have given a permission from

(04:43:27):
my voice to relection. When you press that play button,
you have given me permission for my words to effect

(04:43:48):
in a positive, only a positive way, opening up the
mind to useful and healing suggestions.

Speaker 18 (04:44:22):
They can have.

Speaker 1 (04:44:27):
Such an amazing effect on how you feel right now,
as well as those changes that continue long after the

(04:44:49):
recording ends. Those changes within.

Speaker 19 (04:44:58):
The continue to flow ish and grow, transforming your.

Speaker 1 (04:45:08):
Life in positive, beautiful way, allowing you to move forward
in your life in the direction that you choose for yourself.

(04:45:39):
This feeling, this feeling that you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness,
This feels nice, such a healthy place to be, and

(04:46:21):
that positivity grows within you in every day moving forward.

(04:46:42):
You had to find them more relaxed physically and didn't mind.

Speaker 6 (04:46:57):
Relaxed.

Speaker 1 (04:47:01):
And it's not that you're thinking slower, it's just that
your mind will be less clock up your unnecessary negativity
because from now your mind rejects negativity. From now you're

(04:47:30):
going to start noticing when negativity arises. You can just
say stop, stop and that negativity will turn around and

(04:47:55):
believe your life stop and then negativity disappear. And did

(04:48:23):
you notice that you feel way more relaxed then you
probably expected. Now, congratulate yourself because you're the person that

(04:48:48):
has done this.

Speaker 18 (04:48:51):
You another one that has.

Speaker 1 (04:48:54):
Opened your mind up to the simple face you can't
feel more relaxed in your body, end in your mind,
your equal, your mind up to the birthrights have.

Speaker 6 (04:49:20):
Been able to just.

Speaker 1 (04:49:23):
Or asleep easily when you choose.

Speaker 18 (04:49:37):
That's a nice feeling, don't you think?

Speaker 1 (04:49:43):
Who's nice? Doesn't that to feel calm?

Speaker 18 (04:49:51):
Who let hear? The energy is spreading through your body
in your mind. Spend time.

Speaker 1 (04:50:06):
A special place.

Speaker 18 (04:50:08):
Where negativity can no longer inter.

Speaker 1 (04:50:22):
Negativity is bad. It's bad. There's no one allowed.

Speaker 20 (04:50:28):
Dream doesn't doesn't this doesn't deserve to be here, doesn't
be long here. Negativity has no place in your life,

(04:50:53):
which makes room from more comfort more here, relaxation, peace,

(04:51:25):
its nice as that it was just.
