Thank you very much.

I'm very happy seeing everybody here.

Also seeing some of the faces of the people at home.

So it's excellent to be sharing this kind of space.

I've been tuning in now for, well, I'd say close to 20 minutes now, sort of arriving here.

Excellent.

So please take it away, Simon.

Excellent, Tim.

I, I did this, uh, session on polyvagal, uh, release, and it was like, um ... or polyvagal activation, and it was all about the, the buttons on the body that you press and you manipulate in order to kind of release trauma stored in the body, and this feels a bit like that.
