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):
buoy you to sleep recordings. I didn't do a Q
and A Friday this week because or last week? Where
do 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 Bording 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 about an hour, but the
question really was whether or not I preferred personal questions
or non personal questions? And has there been any times

(03:21):
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, then

(03:44):
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

(04:04):
that is personal. But also I don't really 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

(04:26):
I've really got any right to talk about, really, isn't
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

(04:46):
what the the Q and a Friday's for. But it
can be about you as well. It could be like
you could ask me my opinion on something. You could
ask me because I've been a life for so long.
You can ask me about world events maybe that's happened

(05:11):
during my lifetime. Asked me about English culture. If you
live in another country, you could ask me jobs, places
I've lived, girlfriends, hobbies, interests, TV programs that I liked, music,

(05:44):
movies I've seen boom. Yeah. Really, it's I think sometimes
I'm better at some of the older stuff because it's

(06:07):
something because let's say, if I went to someone slamming
the doors downstairs like constantly, and I really don't know
why I've been doing it for about twenty minutes, just
slamming it, well, letting it slam over and over and
over again, which is very sure. I never got a

(06:29):
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. I mean, maybe not

(06:50):
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. Can you hear that? No. One of

(07:13):
the things that starts that dog off and also starts
vinnioff and also starts another dog around the corner off
or across the road off is this cat. 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 dogs, 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 don't know what I
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 funeral

(09:54):
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 had to get the counseling for the mouse exterminator people.

(10:25):
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, and
they came back this Friday and said that there's nothing

(10:49):
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
the residue, all the leftovers from the previous mister there.

(11:13):
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

(11:33):
like he was living with all that stuff around and
he didn't even know it. So the I'm thinking that
the counts are going to come in and start emptying
his place, probably in the next week or so, so

(11:56):
I've still got 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 adventure begins,

(12:16):
hopefully a quiet adventure, but we'll see. Yeah I could, really,
I really don't need a new neighbor opposite me.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
You know.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
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
shakes the building. It's really loud, echoes through the hallway
and stuff. And it's one thing downstairs, but here, if

(12:52):
I had the same thing happening opposite me, it's going
to be I think it will be disturbable, disturbable, disturbably loud,
and I don't Yeah, I'm not looking forward to that
because there seems to be two types of people in

(13:15):
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 so considerate
people and inconsiderate people. But I also realized as I

(13:36):
got older, that inconsiderate people aren't actually quite often doing
it too be harmful to other people. They're just not thinking.
They're just they're just going about their business, going about
their life. They're not even noticing that the doors slamming

(13:56):
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 that, 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 a 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 ages. That
they're nice, nice and quiet. That'd be nice, Yeah, nice
and quiet. 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

(16:06):
years now. Oh, so when I moved in, we had
her him, him, him, So there was someone when I
moved in, there was Uncle's Sausages. He's been here the

(16:31):
whole he was here the whole time until recently. And
then next to him there was someone that was there
for a while and then he moved out, and then
someone else moved in. I didn't realize it was a

(16:52):
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 been the same for a long time,
the last probably eight years. This has pretty much been

(17:15):
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, not below me, but one of
the flats downstairs, and then in the other flat next

(17:44):
to the one I was just talking about downstairs. That
was where my friend Luke lived, and he was 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, so, and he was here

(18:08):
until what month is it now, August, September, October, November,
so it will be two years in November that he left.
Let me shut up. I do wonder if she just

(18:33):
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.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
We need noise.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
So when he left, the counsel came, did their thing
and all that stuff. But it did take quite a
long time before anyone moved in, so it was a

(19:15):
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 least five

(19:37):
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
or five months, so it's quite that'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 Luke's 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.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
And then.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
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 counts would normally do you know, if there's stuff
in there, like there was still some stuff in there

(21:55):
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, I'm not

(22:16):
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,
they can open it at the back and put stuff

(22:38):
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 I guess the process depends

(23:03):
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, a hundred properties become available

(23:26):
in one month. They're going to struggle to do that
many It's going to 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 they I know, they take

(23:50):
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 or maybe something like Cornwall

(24:16):
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 like beaches and I've

(24:43):
lived on a well, I've lived in towns with beaches
three times, including Buttlings. I mean technically, well it's not.
Technically there was a beach there, but I think I
only went to it twice and it was winter, so

(25:05):
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 did go there

(25:25):
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 was a

(25:46):
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 you lived

(26:09):
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 travel to Blackpool.

(26:37):
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 other places,

(26:58):
you know where you'd go to a place where there's
I was 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.
It was a long time ago. I went on a

(27:20):
school trip. Was this a school trip? Wow? Why's my
voice gone sweaky? 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 have been 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 and yeah, probably that's what's a memory I

(28:30):
forgot about. Yeah. 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.

(28:55):
She's on holidays. She was going back to Australia and
I to go back to school. I wait a minute.
As speaking of Greece, no, but there was 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

(29:17):
do come to if you live up north, or you
live in Scotland or Wales or the middle of the
country Norwige, I mean if you 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,

(29:41):
I don't think anyone's going to 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?

(30:03):
I said, does Scotland 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

(30:25):
to England. I live in England, 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 lived in the northeast. In

(30:48):
the south, I've been to you know, a lot of
the places I've been to Nottingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Bolton and

(31:10):
most of the towns in this on the east coast area,
you know, all those different like Beccles and Lowest Staffed Yarmouth,
all those places at Norfolk as well. I've been to
lots of places in Norfolk over the years in the past,

(31:31):
not recently, and I just haven't 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

(31:52):
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 a baby, not a baby,
but like two years old or something, which is still
a baby, isn't it really? And hmm, I'd like to

(32:17):
go to Scotland just to visit and because I would
be a tourist like my dad is literally not literally
because there was a while back, but Protty about two
months ago for sus yeah, Putty, about two months ago
he was in Scotland on holiday and he did a

(32:40):
little tour of Scotland, and I'm not sure where he
went because I've got family and well, my ancestry or
down forty eight percent Irish. I am about two percent
Scottish or four percent Scottish, so you know, my Celtic

(33:03):
percentage is quite high Irish and Scottish. And I don't
notice any or whales in me now, just god, we
have visual would you want? And well? Or well? And
you would, but yeah, I don't know if I've got
any We're all mixed, and we ultimately there is The

(33:28):
idea is that there's a pure breed human out there.
Shut up, shut up, doesn't exist, you silly, silly person.
I'm pure me. No you're not. Maybe pure of mind,
Ma'm a pure breed. No, there's no such thing. There's
not even such thing as a pure breed dog, because

(33:51):
most dogs have just created. You know, 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, that's not how it works. Something

(34:11):
beside saying, oh is it Jack Russell? And he was
the bloke that tried to sell selling many to me.
He's a pure breed, you know, I said, okay, and
I did a bit of research. Now, Jack Russell's were
created on purpose by mixing a bunch of dogs together

(34:34):
to create hunters. So it's nothing pure a pounp hair.
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,

(35:03):
So Scotland, I reckon it would be quite a nice
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

(35:25):
was tiny when I went there, you know, because we
used to go camping in Wales every year for quite
a few years, and I didn't like camping. I'll be

(35:45):
honest with you. I didn't like it. It's just not
my I mean, you haven't got to be an adult
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,

(36:06):
that I didn't enjoy the process, and that I didn't
really want to do it again. And I would say,
the 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

(36:33):
that is. That's what I liked, is laying down in
the tent. 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 beautiful,
beautiful weather, but also you know some rain as well

(36:55):
now then, which is why it's such a luscious country.
And that sound of the rain on the lid of
the tent was just so nice. It was I mean,

(37:15):
I don't personally, I probably did get tingles. It was
maybe that's my ASMR thing. I just found it very relaxing.
But being inside the tent when it was happening. I've

(37:36):
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
you ever lived, if you lived in this country. All

(37:57):
we have is weather. It's just continuous. Yes, So I
don't know. I think, yeah, laying down, I don't know

(38:18):
where everyone was because there was like what one, two, three, four, five,
and myself there was six of us, way too many
people to spend time together. But we did. And you know,

(38:39):
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, like I'm like a

(39:03):
tourist guy, don't I If you've never been to Wales
and if you thought about all go or not, I'd
recommend going, maybe be prepared to travel around because you know,

(39:24):
it's not that Wales 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,

(39:47):
I think maybe three times. 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 in a No, I

(40:13):
wouldn't try and walk up it now. I mean, there
are parts of it that you 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 sort of gradually, you know, you end up and
I think you kind of walk around the thing. I think,

(40:35):
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.
I did it years ago, I did it when I
was a kid. Wouldn't be that bothered to do it again.

(40:57):
But if you haven't done it, it's definitely worth it,
I would say, because I mean, I don't know about
your life, but how often do you get to stand
at the top of a mountain? I mean some people would,
I guess every day if you live on a mountain, obviously,

(41:17):
but I yeah, it's quite not, yeah, it's quite. Maybe
I would do it again. I'd go by train, and
the trains were old, really made of wood, kind of
proper old trains. It's like that. And my dad's saying

(41:46):
to me, Jason, can you stop that? I said, but
it makes fun. It makes it more fun if I
had some sound effects. But yeah, I quite liked it. Yeah,
that was all right. Also went to some slate places,
so basically just old minds where they used to dig

(42:09):
for slate. We did also go to a couple of
coal mines, old coal mines, and I think what really
surprised me. I don't know why I was surprised, but
how big they are like underneath really, I mean, I

(42:41):
do kind of think that if you're 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

(43:02):
talking about the entrance or the exit. Maybe U class
it is 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

(43:27):
underneath the place where people are walking. This big, massive
gap of empty space sort of made sense. I don't know,
to me do something with that space. I don't know

(43:49):
what build, build like a shelter or some kind of
I don't know it, you know it just so it's supported.
So it's really really well supported for the ground. And

(44:11):
you can tell I know, I know nothing about what
I'm talking about, but doesn't that sense stopped me before?
So why should it stop me now? Hey? Why there's
no mauson? So yeah, I'd like to go to Scotland.

(44:35):
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 if I went to Ireland,
it's I could visit a couple of people that I know, well,
three people that I know on the whole of the island,

(45:00):
including a northern Ireland.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
And.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
That with Scotland i'd quite like to go to. Trying
to think of Scottish place they've got. They've got towns
in Scotland, don'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. Glasgow is another place i'd like
to visit. Yeah, outside of that, I can't think of
any other places. Edinburgh Glasgow, hmm, that probably. I'm not

(46:18):
saying that's that's all, but that I guess that there
are two of the main places. Glasgow. Just I don't
know is 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

(46:40):
a I think it's in August. I think it's now. Actually,
probably I've not been to the Isle of Wight. Now.
I have family on the Eye of White, not that

(47:01):
I know. I just I've 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 that she's my auntie,
but she's my daddy's sister or she's my granny's daughter,

(47:29):
so her and her daughter lived on the Isle of Man.
The isl of Wit is more distant, distant distant relations
sort of my NaN's relatives relatives, and I'd like to
visit the Isle of White I think it's best to

(47:50):
be quite a decent place 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. What about here?
About all the places that there are to visit here?

(48:10):
That I could visit here? Yeah, I don't know, just
maybe maybe could go and have a look around, have
a little wonder. But then you've got lots of islands,

(48:30):
haven't you around the local islands like Bergerac you're there,
and is Love Sheppy is it? There's some Scottish islands
that I could visit, and I think there's like one
hundred and twenty one different little islands around the UK.

(48:56):
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 be quite cool to visit some
of those places. And again, it's just a ferry, isn't it,

(49:18):
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 a ship and then a small boat. There
needs to be at least a jetty, you know, and

(49:40):
someone to help me off the boat. I don't want
to be like having to jump in the sea and
walk up and get all wet. No, I don't no,
stop asking me to do that. I don't want to.
So yeah, so there's lots of places i'd quite like

(50:04):
to visit in the foreseeable kind of surroundings, I suppose,
you know, because none of this is particularly far away.
It's a few hours, a few hours, I mean, the

(50:26):
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, 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

(50:48):
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's going to take all
night to get there. Daytime daytimes usually travel quicker, don't they,

(51:11):
But at nighttime, and I do like a nighttime journey
a nighttime ferry, but I like a daytime fairy as well.
I think 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

(51:35):
that much, but it is more slow and more relaxed,
and there's less people the nighttime. In my experience, I've
done a few nighttime firies over the years, and it's
just less people around in the nighttime. I think the

(51:57):
I guess in the majority of people prefer to travel
during the day, especially when it comes to or in
the past, going to Belgium, there was a very popular
past time for people and they would travel from England

(52:21):
to Belgium or England to France and basically get off
the ferry, go to the duty duty free place, buy
lots of alcohol and cigarettes and then get on the

(52:41):
next ferry, back load their lorry not the lowry, load
their van or their car with stuff and pretend that
it was for 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

(53:04):
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 pass and because I didn't have my I
went abroad. I didn't get my first passport until nineteen

(53:24):
ninety four, and so before that time I traveled to
Belgium multiple times, to France, and I flew to Spain
and I didn't have a passport, just got a like

(53:46):
a I was just allowed to go, which is a
bit weird because everywhere I have been since then, they've
alway asked to see my 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

(54:11):
do with us leaving Europe because a few years back
we 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 actually

(54:35):
see the sun moving to the side as we moved.
So yeah, so if you do travel to England, just
be aware that we're not in the same place he was.
They haven't changed all the maps because they take ages
and it's expensive. So plus England is such a dot

(54:57):
on the map anyway, you almost miss if it was
the scale, so it doesn't really matter of fact that
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 out

(55:21):
of Europe a few years ago and the weather's changed.
It's a lot warmer now. Yeah. 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

(55:45):
kind of just you wake up. You never know when
you where you could have ended up. The other day.
I was in Spain, woke up, looked out Spain. Three
weeks ago, I was in Somalia. You don't, I don't know.
So yeah, and so this is my Sunday afternoon. Sunday afternoon.

(56:15):
There was a time 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,

(56:35):
there was still amusements 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 lunch time off license could open

(57:00):
for about an hour and a half, then they closed,
and then they'd open up. I think they were 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. The pubs would

(57:24):
open and then they'd open again in the evening for
about seven till ten or six till ten. They closed.
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,

(57:46):
no anything walking around is 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

(58:06):
so that people can have the day off working, So
probably the majority of people in the country wouldn't work
on a Sunday.

Speaker 3 (58:21):
Yeah, a lot.

Speaker 1 (58:22):
Different back then, and it still was like that when
I'm pretty sure, I'm not sure how relaxed things got
but I'm pretty sure it was still like that when

(58:46):
I when I moved to London, because I lived in
a small town at that time. Then I moved to London,
and things are different because shops were open. Some shops
were open all the time, like all the time, and

(59:11):
I've never seen that before. Like you could just get
stuff whenever you wanted, any time of the day or night.
Not everywhere, but there were places that you could get stuff.
And there was when I lived in forest Gate, there
was this little shop right on the corner. Worst shop

(59:36):
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 converyed their front room,
their living room into a shop and it sold groceries, suits,

(59:57):
just bits like that. Yeah, everything was behind the counter,
so you couldn't just take what you wanted and put
it on. They had to get it for you and
you had to ring their doorbell and they would come
and open the door. To me, that was someone that

(01:00:22):
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 stupid back then. I

(01:00:45):
just it 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 can of coke. We're busy. Couldn't you just come
I just want one can of coke. We're in bed. Really,

(01:01:08):
can't you just give me a can of coke?

Speaker 5 (01:01:10):
It's four in the morning. We're going to call the
police if you don't go away.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
We know where you live, Okay, fair enough. So yeah,
I understand they didn't want to open the door four
in the morning. But it's I remember when seven eleven opened. Now,
that changed the world in this country because suddenly or

(01:01:40):
they were open, because everything, even during the week everything
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

(01:02:01):
till late nineties, I think maybe two thousands. Yeah, wow,
a lot of changes a lot of changes over the years,
but seven and eleven that was so good, and I don't
know why it didn't. I mean it might still be

(01:02:24):
around parts of the country, I don't know, probably maybe
in London, if they're all cities, maybe, but it didn't
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,

(01:02:46):
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.
You know, a packet of screws. No, didn't have that.
But they had like basic things like biscuits, cakes, drinks, alcohol, cigarettes,

(01:03:12):
and chocolates. I suppose it's like basic. I think they
might have had a few basic groceries also, yeah, they
probably did. 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 in in any seven

(01:03:34):
eleven around the world, because there's lots of them. It
was brilliant. I loved it now. I used to go
when it first started. I'd go in there when it
first opened them, I'd say, what time you're closing, They'd

(01:03:55):
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. Then after about three weeks of doing it,
they took me outside and pointed to the sign and

(01:04:19):
what I think they thought I was making fun of them,
but it wasn't, because I really I drew up seeing
everything close early, like my whole life up to the
age of sixteen, seventeen whatever. It was, everything closed early
in the evening on a Sunday, everything, and I just

(01:04:44):
couldn't believe that something was open late till eleven at night.
It was unheard of. And I kind of because of
the because I was working in a chip shop at
the time, and I didn't finish work till probably ten
half ten sometimes if it was a really busy lot

(01:05:06):
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
go in, you know, like earlier in the day, what
time you closing? I'd I'd try and get a like

(01:05:27):
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,
if you go somewhere regularly and then you start to

(01:05:48):
phone them, it's a good idea to put on a
different voice if you can, because they just knew it
as me straight away, because I said to Hi, it's
Jason from the chip shop, what time have you closed today?
Eleven o'clock? Like every other day, it's eleven o'clock seven eleven.

(01:06:11):
It means seven in the morning to eleven at night,
you know, and seemed to want to know what time
we open. We open at seven. The clues in the sign,
the clues in the name. Thank you for calling Jason.

(01:06:33):
Now my problem is I should have put on a
different voice. Clearly, Hi, it's Jason from the chip shop.
What time you closing today? See, I just didn't think
on my feet. It was bek a lot easier, but
I just thought it out first, like could do with

(01:06:56):
these recordings. I mean, you wouldn't believe Eve that I
spend probably six seven hours a day, you know, putting
all this script together what I'm going to say, and
you know, practice in for a good two hours before
I start the recording, and then it sounds so natural. Wow.

(01:07:20):
Can you imagine if I did that? Well, yeah, you
can imagine, because it'd probably be really well presented instead
of this whatever it is that I do. But this
is what you get. This is me. My name's Jason

(01:07:40):
l la la la la l l L. So yeah,
that's it. Really, it's me talking about Sundays and what
I had. The church used to be open on a
Sunday evening, I think it did. I know it used

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

(01:08:27):
so there'd be a place you could get some coffee
or was that during the week. That might have been
on a Wednesday. Maybe if she went to church on
a Wednesday and I'd go to church with her.

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
Then.

Speaker 1 (01:08:40):
Maybe it was a Sunday. I'm not sure. Maybe it
was a Sunday. We'd go 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,

(01:09:02):
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 how much of this is true. I
did used to go to quite yeah, quite a few times.

(01:09:26):
I went to midnight Mass with her at midnight, but
then they also had an early midnight mass for people
that couldn't get there, you know, for midnight, which makes sense.
It doesn't make sense the way I said it, but
some people and it wasn't you know, walking around at

(01:09:50):
midnight wasn't really ideal. So they did like an early
one at about seven or eight in the evening, and
once one day got a bit older, i'd probably say
from yeah, the last twenty years, No, the last two

(01:10:13):
thousand and four two four, wow, the last ten years. No,
because that's the thing because after two thousand and four,
because I went to midnight mess with her, but it
was early one. It was about eight o'clock, so I know

(01:10:37):
my auntie was there, and she wanted to go to
her church because she my name's a Catholic and she
had her own church that she wanted to go to,
So I'm 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

(01:11:03):
my favorite Christmases as an adult. Two thousand and four.
It's weird, but there's something special about it to me.
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. I'm my own bedroom.

(01:11:25):
It was brilliant, and I was back sleeping in there.
My aunt and uncle were in the other room, which
was that's where my two brothers used to sleep in
bunk beds. And in my nun's bedroom was where my
parents used to sleep and that's where her and her husband,

(01:11:47):
my granddad, that was their room from nineteen seventy nine,
you know, onwards. So I had that room for about
a year, my little room, but I wasn't there for
a year in two thousand and four, just there for
one night, probably two or three nights. So because I

(01:12:11):
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 go out to
I go out to church to midnight Mass, but it's

(01:12:32):
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,
so she needed a walk and stick and stuff, so
you know, walking around at night wasn't really ideal. Although

(01:12:54):
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 if it
was late anyway, So she got a lift anyway. So
we went up with my aunt and uncle, and then

(01:13:16):
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 we not
to go. And by that time it was Boxing day
by the time I finished, and my AUNTI did something
that I've never done before, or she's sort of introduced

(01:13:38):
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.

Speaker 5 (01:13:49):
I said, but Auntie, it's Christmas Eve. It's not time
for presents. That's supposed to be on Christmas Day.

Speaker 1 (01:13:59):
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.

Speaker 5 (01:14:09):
But how's father Christmas delivered him if he hasn't been yet?

Speaker 1 (01:14:13):
She said, you're thirty four years old. Shut up, Like, Wow,
it's a bit harsh, isn't it. So she's It was
just sweets. Basically, it was like candy you would call
it maybe if you call it that in your country.

(01:14:33):
But the thing is, I hadn't had any chocolate since
the summer, so I'd lost a lot of weight on
purpose because I kind of I needed to get fitter.
So during the Dune two thousand and four, I kind

(01:14:54):
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 talking what July, August, September, October,
November for at least four or five months. So Christmas Eve,

(01:15:18):
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. It was a pleasure that I
just didn't realize I needed. It was so nice. Oh

(01:15:43):
and it was like being a kid again. It was
just really because I remember. I'll tell you one of
the benefits of being of my childhood is a lot
of the nice stuff happened when I was I know,
it's good to have nice stuff happen when you're young,

(01:16:04):
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 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

(01:16:24):
had had two, three, four, you know, So my first
bike was when I was just four A was what seven?
I think I was, Yeah, I was seven, So I
remember that. So it's quite nice to have those little memories. Now.
I wasn't four in two thousand and four or seven

(01:16:45):
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 any chocolate, And trust me,
that was a long time for me back then to

(01:17:08):
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. It's part
of the national pastime, part of my national identity. Stuff

(01:17:30):
myself full of sugar. Mmmmmm. So yeah, that was just
a really that was a nice Christmas. Actually, so I
got to see my nan, got to see me Uncle
an ant got to see me Dad and that side
of the family because I went there for Christmas dinner

(01:17:54):
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 not the
only Christmas I spent at my nun's, but is the
most memorable one. Yeah, there was another Christmas I spent

(01:18:18):
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 about
four years, three or four years, and maybe maybe older brother.

Speaker 4 (01:18:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:18:41):
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 2 (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 have it on
so loud. I literally was just there all night try
I struggled to sleep because the TV was blaring out
because he couldn't hear it. It's as simple as that

(01:19:18):
wasn't what he wasn't being inconsiderate. He just couldn't hear
the TV, so you 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 next door neighbor, him and his family

(01:19:42):
or the couple and their family. And it was still
it was the same next door neighbor that 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

(01:20:03):
I was still 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'd visit.
I still go in there because I was friends with

(01:20:25):
a boy 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

(01:20:46):
to twenty twenty one, twenty two whatever, that's a long time.
And they lived there and they loved my well, I
love my nanny granddad, but you know, they looked out
for my nan when she lived there on her own,

(01:21:06):
and really nice people. And 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

(01:21:28):
on the docks. 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

(01:21:55):
years younger than me, maybe three years, two years probably,
I don't know. I kind of noticed her when I
was twenty. I knew her, 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

(01:22:21):
her face, which did not take away her beauty, you
know what I mean. She was a very beautiful face,
and I always liked it, write from 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 I don't know, when I was ten, she was eight,

(01:22:42):
you know. But she had it removed. 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.

(01:23:03):
She she was still sweet in her 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,

(01:23:28):
it's only because she told me 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.

(01:23:51):
She her oldest her oldest brother's friends would come round
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

(01:24:14):
pest in them. And then when 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,

(01:24:34):
and there was literally a cue of men or boys
trying to win her heart. It was seriously like knocking
on the door and following her around like little puppies.
It was very funny, and that boost of confidence. I mean,

(01:24:58):
that would have been happening any way. But I guess
the that personality change just from having one like Mark removed.
One thing changed which made her feel different. And there's

(01:25:27):
a whole book called cybernetics. It's cybernetics it's a very
famous book about a plastic surgeon, and he's written by
a plastic surgeon, and he noticed that the personality changes
in people that had work done, and how it was.

(01:25:48):
He couldn't believe the transformation. It could have not on
someone's appearance, because that wouldn't surprise him because that's what
he did for a lot. But he was surprised at
the transformation and personality, and he wrote a whole book
about it, Cybernetics, and I used to have it. I've

(01:26:11):
read it a few times, and it's quite a big
book in the self help like literature library thing. 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.

(01:26:32):
But at the same time, it's like, really, maybe maybe
that's what I should have done. Maybe if I had
a bit of surgery, I could increase my confidence, have

(01:26:54):
it shortened or something. You know, it's just too big.
I don't know, just to have my nose. Yeah, but
I don't know. Maybe I don't know what i'd have
to as there's a few things I could probably do.

(01:27:19):
In fact, I'm pretty sure if I went to a
plastic surgeon and said, just list all the things that
I need doing. Would be there for a while. You'd
have to cancel all his clients for about a week
just so he could list off all the things that

(01:27:40):
I needed doing. Probably, but I won't be having anything.
I don't think i'll have anything done in the future.
I don't know. Yeah, I could have done in the

(01:28:01):
past if 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.

(01:28:23):
I'm 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 more. Yeah, those kinds of things.
Basic stuff, really, isn't it. But I found that one

(01:29:19):
way it's a 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
hook anymore, and I have minimum minimum amount chocolate. I

(01:30:07):
used to eat chocolate every single day. So yeah, and
that I do believe. Laddies and gentlemen 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 of yourself. You deserve to feel safe, lots of love.

Speaker 4 (01:30:51):
Bye.

Speaker 1 (01:30:58):
Relax in a more deep and meaningful way, maybe in
a way that can not just allow you to feel

(01:31:19):
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

(01:31:43):
and peace, but also I think it would be nice
to have those feelings of relaxation continue for longer after

(01:32:18):
the recording has ended, so that you can still benefit
from listening to my voice, maybe in a few hours time,

(01:32:40):
perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly, especially if you
find like some people do and myself as well. I
sometimes I've find one particular recording that really resonates with me,

(01:33:10):
and I just listened to it over and over again
every morning, every evening. There was this recording from We're
going back to about nineteen ninety nine. It was it

(01:33:32):
wasn't hypnosis, but it was a guided visualizations. It kind
of was hypnosis, really, and 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,

(01:34:05):
just felt so peaceful, 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 since

(01:34:34):
I'd done that pressed the play button. This is in
the days of CD players, pressed the play button, if
that it might have even been a tape tape recorder.

(01:34:57):
I'd lie down on the bed and then even without
necessarily listening to her words, because I had them memorized. Really,

(01:35:23):
it was as if my body knew exactly what to do,
and the muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and

(01:35:56):
I remember my mind would slow down. Now. Now, I
was listening to this recording in the early days of

(01:36:16):
learning hypnosis, and long before I ever made any videos
or audio recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that
till two thousand and six. But I knew, I knew

(01:36:46):
how helpful I found being able to just let go,
to have that trust in the person that I'm listening to,

(01:37:15):
knowing that it's going to be just as relaxing, if
not more so. Each time you hear my voice, you
may feel the same. Some people have been listening to

(01:37:44):
me for over a decade, maybe not solidly, obviously not
twenty four hours a day, but maybe people come back.

(01:38:06):
Some people maybe listen every day. That's something that I
do which you may not realize by listening, is when

(01:38:38):
I record these recordings. Now, for example, I also am
affected by the words that I say. So if I

(01:39:07):
said to you, focus on your feet, notice your feet relaxing,
I will be focusing on my feet. I will be
noticing my feet relaxing. If I said, focus on your

(01:39:44):
hands and maybe notice the difference between each hand. Perhaps
notice the the in the room, the temperature of the room.

(01:40:05):
On the backs of your hands. You may start to
notice what almost feels like a very light breeze, even
though there may not be any type of breeze at

(01:40:28):
all where you are right now. And as you become
aware of your hands, I'm also aware of how relaxed

(01:40:56):
my hands our feeling now and when it comes to

(01:41:22):
potentially drifting off to sleep, which may be the reason
you're listening, I also feel drowsy when I make these recordings.

(01:41:49):
I also notice my mind drifting. In fact, at times
I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing, and then I

(01:42:22):
carry on talking. And it's only when I listen back
to do the editing I hear snoring and I think,

(01:42:43):
I don't remember snoring. I remember talking. This snoring was
a pig turned up. That's why I sound like on
a snow How I get really into the whole experience,

(01:43:19):
I don't know how you feel. How relaxed do you
feel in your feet, how relaxed you feel in your hands.

(01:43:54):
I have noticed more and more that the more relaxed,
deeper level of comfort you feel, the easier your breathing becomes.

(01:44:30):
It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation. So this allows
you the breath easier without necessarily focusing on your breath, however,

(01:45:18):
being able to notice the ease in which you breathe

(01:45:47):
so naturally, you breathe so very easily and smoothly. Whenever

(01:46:37):
I imagine my breathing improving. When I've got my eyes closed,

(01:47:01):
I tend to visualize a beautiful field with trees and
flowers producing all that life giving oxygen. It feels nice too,

(01:47:57):
if nothing else, just taking some time away from everything,

(01:48:27):
enjoying that feeling of peace serenity with a joyful heart.

(01:49:25):
Time seems to just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed,

(01:49:56):
so deeply peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in

(01:50:35):
this moment, completely free, noticing that your mind has slowed down.

(01:51:48):
Slowed down because nothing really requires your attention. You can

(01:52:35):
enjoy the physical sensations of allowing the stress to rip
out of your body, reappearing out of every part of

(01:53:12):
your body, being released from your brain in your mind.

(01:53:56):
Slowly but surely, the muscle sing legs relax x so

(01:54:45):
very deep thing rex so deeply, and the feelings, the

(01:55:26):
pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders, deepening each part

(01:55:51):
of your body further and deeper and deeper. M mhm.

(01:56:28):
Noticing the feelings in the back of your neck, the

(01:56:58):
feelings in your rear, vests, muscles, in front of your body,

(01:57:48):
I all say, feeling peace, for deeply there's a sense

(01:58:31):
of peace spreads through your fairy core. Even when you

(01:59:15):
focus on your mind, your mind becomes eve and slower,

(01:59:56):
even deeper, relax so very slow, your stomach peace, For

(02:01:16):
in your stomach.

Speaker 3 (02:01:39):

(02:02:13):

Speaker 4 (02:02:40):
In spy.

Speaker 1 (02:02:45):
From your brain all the way down the middle of
your back, sending and receiving millions of messages every day deepcomfort,

(02:03:17):
increasing deeply relaxed, your knees, legs, spreading those signals down

(02:04:34):
your spine or cord into air. Every part of your body,

(02:04:58):
your chin's and your cor half muscles were outbows, feelings

(02:05:46):
of peace and tranquility spreading through your body, tips of
your toes, to your eyes, your fingers, all the way

(02:06:19):
till you lower back lettinker retinker, peace drifting mind just

(02:07:34):

(02:09:26):
he for more peace, enjoying the space, this space of

(02:11:25):
peace and safety. So very yes, letting go. Maybe we

(02:13:52):
can just focus on the different parts of your body,
just to notice you forehead, in your eyes, mutual, so loose,

(02:15:33):
noticing the sense of complete freedom, absolute freedom, to peace, for.

Speaker 7 (02:17:08):
Energy, peace, to breathe, so much easier.

Speaker 1 (02:18:31):

Speaker 8 (02:23:03):
Rexed foty, sir rex.

Speaker 1 (02:23:36):
C rexed. Your body feels almost invisible, so very relaxed.

(02:24:28):
I'm peaceful, so.

Speaker 4 (02:24:43):
Peace um hm hm.

Speaker 1 (02:25:07):
Likes. And you could start to notice that you are

(02:25:49):
feeling more relaxed, even though if not purposely focused to
your mind upon that sense of physical comfort that is
growing within you throughout your body, and your mind starts

(02:26:18):
to slow down, and that could be almost in recognition
of I guess my speech not being particularly fast and

(02:26:42):
things just generally feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice,
you give yourself an opportunity to take a break from

(02:27:03):
the day, take a break from your life as it is,
and to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to
take some time off and to allow your body to

(02:27:26):
relax and allow your mind to slow down, which in
turn releases the tension and he stresses that you had
in your body. It's almost as if the parts of

(02:27:53):
your body just open up, allowing the negativity out and
at the same time replacing that negativity with positive heathing energy,

(02:28:17):
which then fills your body up and your mind to
also starts to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an

(02:28:42):
almost uplifting feeling, positive healing, an energy that spreads through
your body like a wave of comfort, and all this

(02:29:10):
comes and just 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

(02:29:40):
almost reset itself to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness,

(02:30:01):
which allows more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness
to move around your body and into your mind, almost

(02:30:24):
as if your mind and your body are sinking together
almost mirroring each other with that growing positivity and calmness,

(02:30:48):
and it feels nice. It really does feel nice to
know that you are the one that has allowed yourself
to feel more comfort and to experience.

Speaker 4 (02:31:15):
More of this.

Speaker 1 (02:31:18):
Deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus
on each part of your body, you can notice that

(02:31:41):
that part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.
It becomes even more or calm and comfortable just by focusing.

(02:32:12):
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,
the parts that you've already focused on will continue to
relax deeply, and those parts that we've not yet focused

(02:32:35):
on were just automatically release any remain intention in anticipation
of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm gonna

(02:33:02):
start by focusing on your forehead. Just being aware of
the feelings of your forehead and any background sounds like
mister Herbert the pigeon can just allow you to feel

(02:33:25):
even more relaxed. 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

(02:33:50):
sounds around, so as you focus on your forehead. Just
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus

(02:34:11):
only on my voice and that part of your body.
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

(02:34:31):
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes
relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

(02:35:03):
your tongue, your teeth, and your combs, the whole of
your mouth relaxing, calm and lease. As you focus now

(02:35:25):
on your jaw, not just the parts of your jaw
near your mouth and your chin, but all the way
up the size of your face to.

Speaker 4 (02:35:40):
Your ears, that hole of your jaw feeding more relaxed.

Speaker 1 (02:35:58):
And calm. Focusing on your neck, the front of your
neck and your throat relaxing and loose and calm. The

(02:36:28):
sides of your neck, the right and left side of
your neck relax and loose and calm. And now the

(02:36:53):
back of your neck. Focusing on the back of your neck,
letting go of any tension that may have been there before,

(02:37:13):
and enjoying that sense of increasing comfort and release that
you can experience in the back of your neck. Moving

(02:37:38):
down your back and moving 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

(02:38:03):
lower back, and as you move up and down your spine,
you can feel the muscles either side of your spine
relaxing even more. And as those muscles relax, that sense

(02:38:37):
of comfort starts to spread outwards from your spine into
both sides of your back, the top of your back,
the middle, and.

Speaker 4 (02:38:56):
Your lower back. And as you scan.

Speaker 1 (02:39:03):
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 of your back also seem

(02:39:28):
to just almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting,
And in your lower back there seems to be an

(02:39:49):
extra special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips,
sit down your lower back, into your hips, into the

(02:40:14):
area where your cosicks are, and into your buttocks, and
all these muscles that spread.

Speaker 4 (02:40:28):
From your lower back.

Speaker 1 (02:40:31):
Into your hip area start to melt, start to really
let go. Don't even know where about to focus on

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

(02:41:24):
your shoulders. You may notice that they're already feeling really loose,
they're already feeding calm.

Speaker 2 (02:42:00):
Ye.

Speaker 1 (02:42:04):
Those muscles then move from your neck into your shoulders.
Feel so soft and gentle, so smooth and calm, and

(02:42:48):
the feeding in your shoulders seens to spread deep into
your shoulders, that sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply

(02:43:12):
into your muscles, but also relaxing the bones and moving
all away to underneath your arms, relaxing that whole area

(02:43:38):
between the tops of your shoulders and underneath your arms.
He Then you feel so relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders,

(02:44:06):
which sends that deep healing message into your arms. You

(02:44:29):
may feel almost as if your arms are not even there,
because they're so relaxed, so deeply relaxed, so so calm,

(02:45:13):
so loose, not feeling spreading all the way down your arms,

(02:45:38):
two elbows, including.

Speaker 4 (02:45:46):
Your elbows their comforts spreads or away.

Speaker 1 (02:46:06):
Into wrists.

Speaker 4 (02:46:11):
Of forearments, and.

Speaker 1 (02:46:13):
Your wrists being so heavy yet at the same time.

Speaker 4 (02:46:36):
So light.

Speaker 1 (02:46:39):
And gentle. Frek sive. Now on.

Speaker 3 (02:47:12):
Your hands, my hands.

Speaker 1 (02:47:42):
So peaceful.

Speaker 3 (02:47:46):
In your hands.

Speaker 4 (02:48:06):
There's a sense of.

Speaker 1 (02:48:11):
Real peace. It just seems to I feel.

Speaker 4 (02:48:32):
So familiar. When your hands relax deeply.

Speaker 1 (02:48:50):
Feels a thing is you, things sold les, your finger tips.

(02:50:45):
Moving your attention to the front, to your body, so comfortable,

(02:51:15):
Move on your focus to your legs. Why my souls

(02:52:42):
in your thighs, knees, so relaxed, the calf mussels and

(02:53:36):
just shins Compasia four and the feathing.

Speaker 9 (02:55:43):
Your feats, so peaceful, so calm, say peaceful, sircom.

Speaker 1 (02:56:40):
So peaceful, Sycolm, so peace for RelA, sin.

Speaker 3 (02:57:10):
Peace for.

Speaker 1 (02:57:15):
So calm, loving that deep relaxation, to spread your chest,
in your stomach, so RelA, letting go of everything. So

(02:58:02):
I'm going to 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,

(02:58:23):
and each step represents a level of comfort. Each step
represents a deepening of that comfort, and the fervies you

(02:58:49):
walk down those steps that are deeper and more relaxed
you feel. So starting with number twenty twenty nineteen eighteen

(03:00:48):
seventeen sicksting three four four se too well five eight

(03:08:58):
ninete eight seven s.

Speaker 4 (03:13:54):
Five four four yo.

Speaker 1 (03:18:51):
One And now as you focus on your eyes, we're

(03:19:58):
gonna count down from tend down to one. Focus in
just on your eyes, your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes,

(03:20:20):
your eye walls themselves, a whole area that makes up
your eye. And as we count down from ten down

(03:20:45):
to one, whilst focus in on your eyes, you'll become
twice is relaxed with each number counting down, and you

(03:21:13):
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

(03:21:46):
your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down from ten
down to one.

Speaker 4 (03:21:58):
Right now.

Speaker 3 (03:22:07):
Two nine.

Speaker 1 (03:23:08):
Eight fourn four five four three.

Speaker 2 (03:29:37):
Two one.

Speaker 4 (03:31:12):
So counting down from ten to one ten nine eight
seven six five four three.

Speaker 1 (03:31:45):
Two one. And maybe 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

(03:32:12):
even a little bit of pressure there. Like you'll count
it down from ten to one. Would you expect me
to do? Man, expect me to stick gold floppy just
because you're counting down. We could try it again, but.

Speaker 4 (03:32:32):
This time I go this lower.

Speaker 1 (03:32:36):
This time, as you focus on the whole of your body,
before we focus on your legs. Just notice how your
body does start to feel more relaxed with every number

(03:33:05):
that I count down.

Speaker 4 (03:33:09):
Ten nine, eight, seven, six, five.

Speaker 1 (03:33:56):
Four three two one. I just notice how how you feel, generally,

(03:34:56):
how your body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting
down from ten to one. It's that space that you have,

(03:35:18):
that space between being active physically or mentally to just

(03:35:42):
sitting or lying down, just being there, not doing anything,
not saying anything, or needing to think about anything. So
that opens up a space, you know, a bit of
a space, a gap, yahm. And the more I camped

(03:36:08):
down from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes.
So there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's

(03:36:28):
a nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or discomforts
physically or emotionally, moves them.

Speaker 3 (03:36:47):
Away.

Speaker 4 (03:36:54):
Allows you to just.

Speaker 1 (03:37:01):
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 thestress and attention falls into the

(03:37:25):
gap and gives you that distance, that space.

Speaker 4 (03:37:45):
Now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five four three.

Speaker 1 (03:39:21):
Two one.

Speaker 4 (03:39:52):
How does your.

Speaker 1 (03:39:54):
Body fel Can you notice? Do you feeling calmer? The

(03:40:23):
feeling more relaxed as we now focus on your legs,

(03:40:53):
just your legs. We're just gonna start with focusing on

(03:41:14):
your thighs. Of course, it's not the most exciting thing
to be doing, because I'm sure, like most of your

(03:41:40):
body is not a lot going on right now. Just
focusing on the whole of your thighs, the tops of
your thighs, if your thighs, the bottoms of your thighs,

(03:42:06):
your outer thighs, and your inner thighs, basically the whole
of your thigh that leads.

Speaker 4 (03:42:14):
Into your hip and it goes down to your.

Speaker 1 (03:42:23):
Knee joints. Now, this is a big area. It's a
very heavy area. It's very strong. Probably the strongest muscles
in your body are in your thighs. But I don't

(03:42:55):
think we perhaps give enough attention to our thighs. Perhaps
we don't acknowledge how important our thighs are to our lives,

(03:43:32):
how much they actually do for us all through our lives.
And it may seem to sound really weird, but I

(03:43:54):
think that all of our body parts specctually, our thighs
need some TLC, a bit of love shown, a bit
of acknowledgement.

Speaker 4 (03:44:19):
I thank you.

Speaker 1 (03:44:22):
Gratitude for what our thighs do for us. And I
know this may sound a bit strange. Maybe you think,
why am I sure? How I should be out in

(03:44:44):
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 outside hugging
a tree. No, I can't see the television from the tree.

(03:45:09):
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

(03:45:30):
knees do for me until I have a problem with
my knee. It's occasionally, if I ever maybe i'll pash it,
or it's aching for some reason. It's then that I
realize how much it does. You know, the benefit of

(03:45:53):
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

(03:46:20):
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

(03:46:47):
you can still have that attention on your thighs and
maybe notice how your thighs feel, Maybe notice that they
are relaxing more deeply as you focus now on the

(03:47:16):
bottoms of your legs, your shins, and your calf muscles,
and the bones between your knees and your feet, incorporating
of course, your ankles, so important. Anyone that's had even

(03:47:41):
like the slightest sprain of an ankle knows how how
much we take our ankles for granted. And it's kind
of strange in a way when you think that. You know, logically,

(03:48:04):
our wrists are a lot thinner than the rest of
our arms, which is okay, it doesn't I can't see
any problem with that because we're just picking stuff up
by our ankles so much thinner than the rest of
our legs. And from a physics perspective or logical even

(03:48:34):
it doesn't really make sense that all this weight would
ultimately be resting on your ankles then leading to your
feet that thin area, thin bone. Yeah, so much great

(03:49:01):
work supports us, supports our body for a lifetime, helps
us to balance, It helps you to get around and

(03:49:22):
be mobile and there's the calf muscles. Of course, when
I was younger, I couldn't see the point in calf
muscles didn't seem to do anything. Okay, if I walked

(03:49:45):
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 and your shins

(03:50:06):
there to protect your lower legs, shaped in a way,
almost as a protector for the bone, leading of course

(03:50:29):
to your ankles and your feet.

Speaker 4 (03:50:38):
But we're not going to focus on your feet. We're
just going to focus on the legs.

Speaker 1 (03:50:44):
I realize that now that I've mentioned your feet, it
probably focusing on them anyway, So maybe I should focus
on your feet.

Speaker 3 (03:50:54):
A little bit.

Speaker 1 (03:50:59):
You can have them in your awareness the same as
you have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we
haven't been focusing on your thighs for a few minutes,
we've been focusing on your ankles, there's still that sensation

(03:51:24):
of comfort in your thighs.

Speaker 3 (03:51:37):
And this that movement.

Speaker 4 (03:51:40):
Of energy.

Speaker 1 (03:51:43):
Because the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course,
there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that we have
in our thighs.

Speaker 4 (03:52:04):
But the skin on the outside of the thighs, as
in the outside of all of our body, can be
very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature. And

(03:52:33):
inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's the blood, vessels,
the arch trees, all this stuff that's inside your thighs.
And I guess sometimes it'd be nice if you could

(03:52:54):
actually put your fingers inside your thighs and mess up
so you can message on the outside, of course, but
to be able to get deep into the muscles and
to be able to just massage inside your thighs, message
in the bones of your leg, massage in.

Speaker 1 (03:53:22):
All the veins, and just gently healing your thighs, and
you could move down message and inside your knees, just
message in those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading that

(03:53:46):
healing energy deep.

Speaker 4 (03:53:49):
Into the joints of your knees.

Speaker 1 (03:53:57):
Of course, there's the back of your your knee, you know,
the inside crease where your knee 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

(03:54:18):
touched very often. It's almost like a hidden part that crease.

Speaker 4 (03:54:27):
In your legs.

Speaker 1 (03:54:28):
It's almost.

Speaker 4 (03:54:31):
It's like a part that has a sensitivity, which is
a little bit different.

Speaker 1 (03:54:44):
Of course, it's protected by your legs, So you can
imagine putting your fingers into that crease in your legs,

(03:55:05):
that fold in between your legs. You can just message
with your fingertips, letting your fingertips going inside, massage in
the muscle tissue.

Speaker 4 (03:55:23):
You can of course field.

Speaker 1 (03:55:24):
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 to be able to really

(03:55:47):
put my fingertips deep inside my calf muscles, massage in
every single tissue of that muscle, healing every part. And

(03:56:09):
then doing the same for my shins, massage in gently
stroking the bones, gently stroking them, healing in a loving way,
because they deserve to be treated as the precious bones

(03:56:31):
that they are. Our legs are so precious as in
all the other parts of our body, and more precious
of any jure.

Speaker 4 (03:56:44):
On the planet. When you start to think about your
legs in this way, it can change your perspective. It

(03:57:12):
might sound a bit.

Speaker 1 (03:57:16):
A bit silly to start with, the idea of having
love for your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting
to be able to put your hands in your thighs,

(03:57:37):
massage the muscles and the bones, and to get your
fingers deep in there, releasing all tension. Just to show
how much you care about your legs, how much you

(03:58:02):
care for what your legs do for you regularly, your knees,
your calves, your ankles, the strength of your ankles, considering

(03:58:24):
how thin they are compared to the rest of your legs,
especially your thighs. Yeah, they're so strong, so flexible, absolutely
amazing things.

Speaker 4 (03:58:45):
Your ankles are truly a gift because of what they
do for you, supporting all that weight, regardless of how

(03:59:07):
what weight you are, even if you only eat ate stone,
there's still a lot of weight for these little ankles. Now,
I'm a lot heavier than each stone double down, yet.

Speaker 1 (03:59:28):
My ankles support my body all the time. Although they
do give off a sigh of relief when I sit down,
you have my whole legs do.

Speaker 4 (03:59:48):
My feet feet also go, my toes clap. I'm so happy.

Speaker 1 (04:00:15):
Your legs really are amazing, and I know that talking
about talking about your legs is probably possibly among the
most most boring things I've ever heard anyone say. Possibly

(04:00:39):
you're boring or not. Everything I said is true. Your
legs are amazing. Your legs deserve just respect. They deserve

(04:01:07):
to relax deeply.

Speaker 4 (04:01:17):
They deserve to take some time out of the day
to just let go completely. Relics really can relax.

Speaker 1 (04:01:59):
And because the legs are so such a most, you know,
very important part of your body. When you relax your legs,
the rest of your body also naturally follows in that

(04:02:21):
journey of comfort. I can feel it in my hips.
My hips feel really loose, and also my lower back
as well. My lower back really feels it feels stretched,

(04:02:48):
even though I'm just sitting in a chair and there's
no stretching.

Speaker 4 (04:02:55):
As far as I'm aware that I'm doing.

Speaker 1 (04:02:57):
It's almost as if the muscles are just relaxed so
much that there is a natural stretch as the tension
has reduced a lot. And I'm now going to count

(04:03:28):
down from ten down to one, and you can continue.

Speaker 4 (04:03:38):
To feel.

Speaker 1 (04:03:40):
Wonderfully relaxed.

Speaker 4 (04:03:45):
Ten nine, eight, seven, six.

Speaker 3 (04:04:04):
Five, four.

Speaker 1 (04:04:12):
Three two.

Speaker 4 (04:04:21):
One relax.

Speaker 1 (04:04:36):
So I'm just going to count down 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.

Speaker 4 (04:04:58):
In this moment as you hear the numbers counting down,
knowing that those numbers.

Speaker 1 (04:05:08):
Counting down represents you feeling calmer, not just in your body,
but also relaxing your mind. I just notice how you feel.

(04:05:28):
There's nothing to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing
to think about, starting with number five, four, three, two one.

Speaker 4 (04:06:27):
And as you notice the gradual.

Speaker 1 (04:06:36):
Letting go the tension in your body, you may also
begin to notice and be aware of how your mind
is starting to slow down. This is just a natural

(04:07:00):
or thing that happens.

Speaker 4 (04:07:04):
It's not really a special procedure.

Speaker 1 (04:07:08):
It's just natural because as your body relaxes, your mind
also starts to relax. And the more your mind relaxes,
the more your body relaxes. It's just a continuous circle
of relaxation. And there is that calmness that comes from

(04:07:37):
relative quietness. You know, even even if there's background sounds
either your side, online, 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 recording

(04:08:00):
with music.

Speaker 6 (04:08:01):
Of course.

Speaker 1 (04:08:06):
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

(04:08:27):
about stuff, relaxation automatically rises, a sense of comfort.

Speaker 4 (04:08:44):
Starts to grow, and.

Speaker 1 (04:08:51):
Without trying to build it up into something fantastical or
something magical, this is just a natural process, something that's
easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost the sense of

(04:09:20):
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.

Speaker 4 (04:09:40):
And part of the process of this recording and others
is simply.

Speaker 1 (04:09:52):
Two allow you to take advantage of this space, this time,
to just let go, to just be here, to be.

Speaker 4 (04:10:18):
In tune.

Speaker 1 (04:10:23):
With how you feel, yet with the intention of wanting
to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending

(04:10:48):
on what it is that you wish for yourself.

Speaker 4 (04:10:54):
In this moment.

Speaker 1 (04:11:01):
As we know, relaxing is the majority of the process
of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep part is the
tiny bit at the end. The deeper, relaxed you become

(04:11:28):
the easier.

Speaker 4 (04:11:32):
You find.

Speaker 1 (04:11:34):
Yourself drifting. You can also, if you choose stay focused
on my voice and really enjoy the process of gradually

(04:12:14):
relaxing each muscle in your body effortlessly and just observing

(04:12:46):
the sensation.

Speaker 4 (04:12:52):
Of letting go completely.

Speaker 1 (04:13:06):
This time, I'm going to count from six down to one,
and you can notice your mind.

Speaker 4 (04:13:21):
Calming down more with each number.

Speaker 6 (04:13:28):
That you hear me.

Speaker 4 (04:13:29):
Say, naturally, feeling calm and slow.

Speaker 1 (04:13:44):
And be peaceful six, five, four, three, two, one, being

(04:16:39):
aware how your mind to slow right down, sinking deeply
into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind, you

(04:17:18):
may notice that.

Speaker 4 (04:17:22):
There are some thoughts still there, maybe some stubborn thoughts
that for some reason perhaps need your attention. So what

(04:17:45):
you can do is.

Speaker 1 (04:17:51):
Send love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love
like a petals from a flower. Just sprinkle it over them,
petals filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those

(04:18:19):
thoughts know that you're not abandoned in them. You just
need them.

Speaker 4 (04:18:27):
You require them to just calm down, slow down, quiets
down for now.

Speaker 1 (04:18:51):
So as you focus on those remaining thoughts as we
count down this time from seven to one. With each number,
just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness, gratitude

(04:19:21):
over those thoughts, which will allow them to just melt
away and relax deeply. With every number, those thoughts will

(04:19:46):
become more and more relaxed.

Speaker 4 (04:19:58):
Starting with number seven, six, five, four, three, one.

Speaker 1 (04:22:29):
And as you now notice how relaxed you're feeling in
your body, wegan to focus on your hands because the

(04:23:08):
more relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed your body
and mind are.

Speaker 6 (04:23:31):
And there.

Speaker 1 (04:23:33):
You focus on your hands and your fingers. There's nothing
needed to be done. There's no clenching of fists or
dents in the fingers or anything like that. It's just

(04:24:01):
noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing how they feel, because.

Speaker 6 (04:24:30):
The more.

Speaker 1 (04:24:33):
Relax your hands feel, the calmer your mind feels, and
the more.

Speaker 4 (04:24:47):
Comforts you feel throughout your body. And you.

Speaker 1 (04:25:01):
May have already noticed you mind is starting to dress

(04:25:46):
like him, just on your hands and fingers, allowing than
to experience a real deepening of that relaxation in your

(04:26:15):
hands and fingers.

Speaker 2 (04:26:22):
More.

Speaker 4 (04:26:26):
And more relaxed. With each number from eight.

Speaker 2 (04:26:44):
Down to one, you can.

Speaker 1 (04:26:50):
Almost feel that healing and relaxing energy written into your
hands and fingers, becoming.

Speaker 4 (04:27:13):
Year and more relaxing with each number you hear, going down.

Speaker 1 (04:27:32):
Eight, down to one, drifting, drifting again starting with.

Speaker 4 (04:27:54):
Number eight seven, six, four.

Speaker 2 (04:30:09):
Four three.

Speaker 1 (04:31:00):
Shah.

Speaker 4 (04:31:49):
Just being here.

Speaker 1 (04:31:51):
Now, nothing to think about, nothing to do, nothing to say,
and everything just feels calmer.

Speaker 4 (04:32:14):
And this is your natural state of being. This is
how you just normally.

Speaker 1 (04:32:24):
Feel when you take away all that other stuff that
we add, you know, things like stress and worrying and overthinking, anxiety, tension,

(04:32:51):
just generally thinking about stuff.

Speaker 6 (04:32:55):
And you take that away, which is what we do do.
Now you're left with.

Speaker 1 (04:33:10):
A real sense of peacefulness, which comes to you very
quickly because ultimately it's just a feeling, a feeling of comfort,

(04:33:38):
almost as if you've gone inside yourself and you've found
a special place where everything is peaceful, a place where
you can feel relaxed and your natural.

Speaker 4 (04:34:03):
Sense of comfort, a.

Speaker 1 (04:34:07):
Place where you can be you, where you can accept
yourself for who you are, the place where you're not
trying to please anybody else ever, the place where you

(04:34:33):
can actually not just love yourself, but in some ways
more importantly, you can like yourself, appreciate who you are.

(04:35:00):
A sense of gratitude is in the air all around you,
and that's also a place where you can actually feel

(04:35:22):
the healing energy soaking into your body. Healing energy soaking
into your body, and the healing energy spreads through your veins,

(04:35:52):
traveling to each and every single part of your body,
and you start to realize that actually that healing energy.

Speaker 4 (04:36:12):
It's not just entered into your brain, it's.

Speaker 1 (04:36:17):
Become part of your brain, and that spinal fluid is
now mixed with healing energy, not just allowing you to

(04:36:41):
feel so much more relaxed.

Speaker 4 (04:36:45):
And healthy in this moment, but also.

Speaker 1 (04:36:56):
You start to realize to actually, what's happening now without healing,
relaxing energy spreading through your body is actually changing your life.

(04:37:21):
It's actually changing the way you're going to feel not
just now, but tomorrow and the next day. As your
health improves, not just your physical health but your mental health.

(04:37:46):
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 deep within you. Maybe things

(04:38:12):
that used to cause you to feel anger no longer
have that power to control you the way they seem
to be able to before. As you realize that you're

(04:38:40):
the one who decides what affects you. You're the one
who decides to feel relaxed and calm.

Speaker 4 (04:39:02):
When you choose.

Speaker 1 (04:39:08):
To enjoy noticing these natural developments and healing, continuing to.

Speaker 10 (04:39:22):
Grow and improve your life day by day, including of course,
your ability.

Speaker 1 (04:39:40):
To relax so much easier and sleeping. It's the most
natural thing in the world to you, because falling asleep

(04:40:06):
is something that you've.

Speaker 4 (04:40:08):
Done so many times.

Speaker 6 (04:40:14):
In your life, and you know that you were born,
as we all were.

Speaker 4 (04:40:23):
With the ability.

Speaker 1 (04:40:26):
To fall asleep naturally. You're born with that ability to
just drift.

Speaker 4 (04:40:42):
Off into a deep, healing sleep.

Speaker 1 (04:40:53):
Even when we're kids, sometimes will fall asleep when we
don't even want to try and tell you to stay awake.
Maybe it's a birthday in the morning, or it's Christmas
or holiday.

Speaker 4 (04:41:09):
Or something we look forward to.

Speaker 6 (04:41:11):
I don't want to go to sleep. But the more
you want to stay awake, the more we just start
to drift.

Speaker 1 (04:41:25):
And the more you fight it drifting, the more you
try to stop yourself from drift in a safe the
deeper and stronger that drifting becomes. Because we're born not

(04:41:46):
just with the need to relax deeply and to naturally
fall asleep. But it's our birthright, it's part of our DNA,

(04:42:09):
and sometimes as we get older in life, perhaps at
times we have forgotten that relaxing completely. It's not only
a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's.

Speaker 4 (04:42:39):
Also really easy.

Speaker 6 (04:42:52):
It's very very easy to let go, because that's all
it is.

Speaker 2 (04:43:00):
It's just.

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

Speaker 4 (04:43:25):
For my voice to relax you.

Speaker 1 (04:43:32):
When you press that play button, you've given me permission
for my words to effect you in a positive, only
a positive way. Opening up.

Speaker 4 (04:44:03):
The mind. Two useful and healing suggestions.

Speaker 11 (04:44:20):
They can have.

Speaker 1 (04:44:26):
Such an amazing effect on how you feel right now,
as well as those changes that continue long after the

(04:44:48):
recording ends, those changes within you, they continue to flourish
and grow, transforming your life in a positive, beautiful way,

(04:45:17):
allowing you to move forward in your life in the
direction that you choose.

Speaker 4 (04:45:28):
For yourself.

Speaker 1 (04:45:37):
And this feeling, this feeling that you can experience of safety, comfort, calmness,
this feels so nice. It's such a healthy place to be,

(04:46:19):
and that positivity grows within you each and every day,
moving forward, you had to find you're more relaxed physically

(04:46:52):
and in your mind is more relaxed. And it's not
that you're thinking slower, it's just that your mind would
be less unlocked up if unnecessary negativity. Because from now on.

Speaker 4 (04:47:19):
Your mind rejects negativity.

Speaker 11 (04:47:27):
From now on, you're going.

Speaker 1 (04:47:29):
To start noticing when negativity arises. You can just say stop, stop,
and then negativity will turn around and leave you alone.

Speaker 4 (04:48:03):
Stop and that negativity.

Speaker 1 (04:48:12):
Would disappear. And as you notice that, you feel way
more relaxed than you probably expected. Now, congratulate yourself because

(04:48:45):
you're the person that has done this. You are the
one that has opened your mind up to the simple facts.
