Hello, and welcome to relaxation, hypnosis for stress, anxiety, and panic attacks. Now I only listen to this when you can safely Close your eyes I've been doing a little bit of write down a few little notes, which is very unlike me to do any, any preparation whatsoever before making a recording, but today I have and I just been looking at different ways different things, different activities, changes that you can make in your life that can have a beneficial effect for you for reducing anxiety, stress, increase in relaxation. So there's a few things, one that came to mind was something that I've been doing for many, many years. And it's listening to music for the sole purpose of relaxing Ford specify that for the sole purpose of relaxing, because I'm guessing everybody has listened to music. And I used to listen to classical music. Because I read books that told me that classical music was
you know, the best type of music to listen to, in order to relax. So I kind of believe that and I actually, I think I naturally do find Classical Music Relaxing. Specially there's a few instruments are really like the violin a piano they call it the two ones are like, trumpets are not quite as relaxing as
for me personally the triangle be but you know, there is a lie like, you know, an orchestra purpose. I like it being gentle, not really into the whole kind of going quiet and then being loud again, and then being quiet and being loud, and so on quiet, you know, that's just what I quite like. And then I watched a documentary on television. And it was by elfia. I'm not even sure what the name of it was. But the basic premise around it was does classical music help you to relax? So I watched it out of interest. And the head these specialists which will put in these, you know, those caps that they put on people's heads, which measure the brain activity and the different parts of the brain and the Can They can measure the stress levels, cortisol, whatever different levels of the person and that put them into a booth and they got members of the public and it get them to sit in the booth and listen to the music. It's like classical music, but then they decided to they needed to test it with other music To see whether or not classical music had made a difference over
listening to a different type of music with the outcome of this the this study was that basically makes no difference what type of music you listen to. It just has to be music that you love. Which might seem quite obvious. Somebody listening to their favorite album may get the same benefits as listening to a, you know, Beethoven concert. I'm quite a big fan of Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat.
So it's something that oddly, I can listen to and feel really relaxed. Because, you know, it's lovely, all Greece. And technically, Greece isn't a relaxing record, the album of the film, The soundtrack. If you listen to something that you enjoy, it releases those chemicals from your brain into your body that relaxes your body and relaxes your mind.
And I thought back to times in the past, when this has been completely true for me. I remember when I was I don't know what year it was, it was 2000 and there'll be 2002 2003. And I moved into a little caravan because I needed to get away from where I was living because it was noisy and
just, you know, wanted some peace. And I remember I'll always remember this because it was a first beer piece I'd had for quite a while.
It was a Saturday afternoon. The caravan came with a recliner chair, way better than the one I've got here. And I remember just sitting back in the recliner chair listening to Craig David, one of his albums on CD. And just feeling that all those stressed just leave my body. It was as if it was just draining away
through the chair. Felt So Good. Then I think back to other...
