A Shadow at the Door: Sleep Paralysis, Past Lives & the Things We See at Night

0:00 This time on How to Witch Bitch.

0:03 All right, we're going to bring someone in and we were chatting about her past life. She's also had an experience with sleep paralysis, so I thought she'd be an interesting guest today.

0:12 There'll also be interesting things like this.

0:17 I'd put them both in the bloody freezer.

0:18 Okay, wow.

0:21 And for some reason, this. I don't think it worked because I forgot to put my undies back to front.

0:49 Michelle the Witch of Moons Lane and Moira Major. How to Witch Bitch.

1:02 Welcome to How to Witch Bitch, another episode of Michelle, the witch of the mid-zone. Hello. Hello, darling.

1:08 How are you?

1:08 Oh, good.

1:09 Mate, we've got... Mate. Mate. Let me tell you, there is a... question that's come in from someone that I know you are just going to froth over. You are absolutely going to love this. When the minute I started reading it, I was.

1:24 Like, oh yeah, oh yeah.

1:27 All right. So we've got that coming up. Also, before we get into today's episode, reminder about Patreon, the Patreon community, patreon.com forward slash how to witch bitch. We're adding bonus stuff. You're popping stuff on there all the time. You're answering questions as well. You've been replying with loads of advice, which is cool. You can chat directly with us. We're going to be doing exclusive readings and a live stream for members. That could be coming up very soon.

1:50 Yes, it's going to be fun.

2:07 Welcome, welcome.

2:08 Welcome, welcome, welcome. A couple of comments from the Coven chat. Coven. Coven. Coven.

2:14 We can be a coven.

2:15 Has anyone done any cord-cutting spells? What is a cord-cutting spell?

2:20 A cord-cutting spell is when you want to break free from a relationship, whether it be a romantic relationship, it can be a family relationship. And so it involves two candles and a cord, which you put around, and light, which I love.

2:35 Fire.

2:36 We love the fire.

2:36 Fire.

2:37 And I actually did put under that that if they want to learn that, we can certainly do that.

2:42 And so I will do that.

2:45 Okay.

2:45 We can do another one in here. It does mean fire. Maybe we can get our pyromancy woman and wonder if she does that.

2:52 Two of us in here. We might do that outside.

2:55 I don't know. Just the fire scares me.

2:57 Oh, God.

2:58 We'll make the news.

2:59 We probably would, actually. Okay. Raven Witch says, very excited to be part of the crazy coven. I've been to the podcast and the girls crack me up. That's been nice. I've been practising on and off for 29 years, fully into my craft the last five years or so. I create healing poppets and do this while listening to the podcast.

3:17 What's a healing poppet?

3:19 Might be a.

3:20 like a talesman where they have all the little herbs, healing herbs and stuff.

3:24 You know what's funny, though? I started calling you Poppet last week.

3:27 Oh, you did too?

3:28 I did.

3:28 I was like, this is your new nickname is Poppet, and I just tried to chuck it in whenever I possibly could through the episode.

3:33 Well, maybe I'm a bit of a healing. You're a healing Poppet.

3:35 I am.

3:36 That's what you call me.

3:38 Are you ready for the one that I'm going to hook you into?

3:42 Okay.

3:43 Okay.

3:45 All right, go.

3:45 You ready?

3:46 Yeah.

3:48 Hello, love your podcast! I am recently new to trying an open relationship. I'm so grateful to have found Witchcraft and Wicca because I believe it can help me through manifesting and emotional regulation.

4:05 Or turning her into a frog or something, I'd say.

4:08 It's also given me something that is my own to look forward to doing on the weekends or when I get home. Being in an open relationship, it is bound to bring up jealousy. Some shadow work looking at the jealousy from an outer perspective can help with realising what I need or wish to work on within myself. Lately, I've been struggling to deal with my jealousy and when he brings her up, I get a little reactive.

4:33 Sorry.

4:34 It's okay.

4:34 Okay.

4:35 So I have a question. If I were to freeze her. I wouldn't suggest that. Sorry.

4:48 I wouldn't suggest that.

4:51 Let me continue. If I were to freeze her, does that mean in terms of freezing her power of me in terms of jealousy so I can work on why I'm getting jealous? I love my partner and just want him to be able to talk about her and be happy and without me reacting every time he sees her or brings her up. Right.

5:11 Okay.

5:12 So there's a few things going on here. So freezing her out of your life still doesn't freeze her out of your partner's life.

5:18 And, however, he may look in the freezer and get some chops or something.

5:21 And go, why is my girlfriend in the freezer?

5:23 Yes.

5:25 The only way I can say it is this is more of a case of you're worried that he's going to fall in love with her more than he loves you. My whole thing with this is that as a mother we always think when we've got one child that we could never love another child the same. We have a second child and we love them the same. We love them differently but we do love them the same. I really think that at the end of the day that you might want to look at loving yourself a little bit more than you love him and actually asking yourself if this is actually making you happy.

5:55 If the answer to.

5:56 That is no, then I would seriously look at saying, look, this is not making me happy.

6:01 I've considered it and I've decided that.

6:03 You know, at the end of the day, you know, I want to have the relationship with you private. You can have the relationship with her private. And then if it is still bugging you, I would actually suggest, yeah, calling it off.

6:15 Because?

6:16 Because I don't think that you... are made for this type of relationship.

6:21 You know, it's really sort of going back to why people do that is because they do love someone so much that they don't want to lose them. But I think you're going to lose yourself instead, darling.

6:35 So be really careful about that. I'd put them both in the bloody freezer.

6:40 Okay, wow. There you go. Did you see as well, Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock did an interview yesterday And they were talking about Practical Magic 2 and that Nicole's mother and grandmother were all witches as well. So they all had the– and they used to freeze people out all the time.

6:58 Yeah, so she did it.

6:59 Yeah, she did it as well. So Nicole would do it and then Sandra said to her, is that why you went quiet on me during the shoot at one stage?

7:05 That's funny.

7:06 But we wish you all the best. We do.

7:07 It is a.

7:08 Very interesting question. We did not expect that when we opened up our socials today. But also, like you said, maybe it's something about if you're new to this– particularly since you said I'm recently new to trying an open relationship. And then lately I've been struggling to deal with jealousy. I think that kind of goes hand in hand, timing-wise.

7:26 Maybe it's not for you.

7:28 No, I don't think it is for you.

7:29 Yeah.

7:30 No.

7:31 Wouldn't be for me either. No.

7:33 No.

7:34 Well, though, sometimes the cow doesn't mind.

7:36 Oh, no, sorry, don't say that.

7:38 I beg your pardon?

7:40 Sometimes the cow doesn't mind the time off when the ball goes missing.

7:44 Okay.

7:49 She can, like, put her feet up and get the fucking control. Remote control. It's different stages. Different stages.

7:59 Sorry.

8:00 She's obviously not old with four kids. I'm joking.

8:03 Next up. Okay. The same person who was asking about freezing.

8:07 The partner out.

8:08 The partner of the open relationship continues. Also went to the pet store the other day and wanted to look at some fish to fill my tank. I found myself drawn to the better fish and only one out of the ten or so there reacted to me. I brought him home in my head. I can ask him to come to a certain point in the tank and he does.

8:27 Is it popular he could be my familiar? If so, how do I communicate with him or get him to visit me in my dreams to tell me his name?

8:34 Aww. Okay, so see, other people having affinity with fish. Remember, I have affinity with fish. Okay, so yes, he definitely could be a familiar. So what I would actually do is I would come up with three names and I would put them up on different places of the tank. So I'd put one up on the right, one up in the middle and one up on the left and just say the names and say, go to the name that you want and just watch him go to the name that he wants and then that becomes his name.

9:04 Okay. What I love about this is there's no judgment on this podcast, is there?

9:09 No.

9:09 It's just like, okay, cool, yeah, I'm talking to a fish, no problems. I'm freezing out my partner's girlfriend.

9:14 Yeah.

9:15 No worries.

9:15 Okay.

9:16 You know what it does?

9:17 The thing is that we have been taught for so long that this is where you.

9:23 Are in the square, right?

9:24 What this does is it allows you to get out of the square and start thinking of things that maybe you were told that this is the way that it has to be. I think what it's doing, especially with the generations coming up, is they are actually not just going, okay, they're questioning everything. And I think that's a good thing.

9:42 It's how you grow and how you learn. You've got a lot of Socrates out there.

9:48 Got a lot of what?

9:49 Socrates. Socrates?

9:52 Oh, okay.

9:53 What's another one?

9:56 Philosophers?

9:57 That's it. But the Sokreats was one, wasn't he? Or was it Socrates?

10:00 It's Socrates.

10:02 Okay, well, fuck him and his socks. I don't know. Jesus Christ. What about Plato? Yeah, that's it. Pluto.

10:16 Not Pluto, mate. He's a dog, isn't he?

10:18 A wolf.

10:19 I can't remember. You wolf, wolf. All right, we're going to bring someone in now who is actually a friend of mine and we were chatting about her past life. This woman's fairly kick-ass. I really like this chick. And she's also had an experience with sleep paralysis, so I thought she'd be an interesting guest today.

10:38 Yeah, that sounds like fun.

10:41 All right.

10:41 This is a dear friend of ours, Bec, who is joining us. Hello, Bec. Hello. Hello. Now, in a conversation just the other day, we started making a joke about what your past life would have been. I came up with a saloon worker, like a woman who ran like a, not a brothel, but like a pub. Or slash both. Little 50-50.

11:02 Little 50-50. What made you think of that? That's really sort of left field.

11:05 I know. I don't know. I was just looking at her and then I went, well, we do.

11:09 That sounds worse. I was looking at her and I thought, yep, prostitute.

11:14 No, she's running it.

11:15 She's not the. Oh, she's head pro.

11:17 Yeah, she's head. She's the madam.

11:20 I don't know.

11:20 She wouldn't. No. I've known Beck for like over 10 years now. That's just lovely, isn't it? She's not the prostitute.

11:27 So that makes it even worse that you know her for 10 years, so that was exactly where you went.

11:31 Even 15 years, yeah. Just keep digging, dig, dig, dig.

11:35 Oh, I'm digging in. So we thought we'd get, I thought we'd get her on the podcast so you can actually maybe give her some other ideas that aren't the head of a prostitution network in cowboy days. I don't know why. That's just me.

11:48 That's so funny.

11:49 All right, there you go. All right.

11:50 Great.

11:53 That's interesting. So you were thinking around about 1940s.

11:58 See, I think, you know, you do have some sort of Bonnie and Clyde sort of stuff around you.

12:03 Which is interesting.

12:04 But she, yeah, but there's sort of more around that side, living on the edge, living on the dark, that type of thing. I would actually say that as well, but I wouldn't go with the, I'm seeing you like, you know, around horses and stuff like that.

12:17 The horses were there.

12:18 Oh, were they?

12:19 Oh yeah, it was cowboy times.

12:20 You did say cowboy times.

12:21 I did say cowboy times, like Billy the Kid kind of times.

12:23 Yeah, no, I'm in the 1940s.

12:26 Okay.

12:26 Which is different, which you could be picking up another life. But, yeah, I'm like more of the horse racing, more like a.

12:33 Oh, a horse actually does love a punt.

12:36 You do like to punt? Very much.

12:37 Yeah, so that's kind of where I had you, like, you know, something to do with the horse industry, like a Gale Waterhouse type of thing, someone that's actually got horses, breeding horses. But I think you had some mafia ties. That's where I'm going. So I think that you're kind of right with the– I don't think she was running a prostitute, but I think she was running some sort of.

13:00 Scams, yeah. You are a bit shady.

13:02 I'm sorry, your last person was a bit shady. Well, the current one's a little questionable too.

13:07 LAUGHTER Yeah, because I just get a vibe of there's been a lot. There's been a lot that's happened.

13:17 That wouldn't surprise me.

13:18 Yes.

13:18 I've always been that kind of old soul, but the naughty old soul. That's what it was.

13:25 You wouldn't have been like a dainty little grandma. No.

13:28 No. No.

13:29 There's something about the horse industry that you were heavily involved in, like you were, yeah, and I don't know if that's where you were laundering your money, but, yeah, you.

13:37 Were doing something like that. This sounds like fun.

13:40 It does.

13:40 But definitely 1940s, around that era, because I sort of see you with the beret on the side and the little, because I feel like the, yeah, a bit more like Bonnie type of thing from Bonnie and Clyde.

13:49 Nice.

13:50 That was probably 1926, 1930s. Yeah, 1920s.

13:51 Yeah, but I feel it's a bit around 1940s.

13:58 It would be interesting to go back and actually see who was prominent in the racing industry.

14:04 And the interesting thing is I think you were English.

14:06 So it would be interesting to see who was prominent in the 1940s as in female races, trainers, racehorsing.

14:16 I will be Googling that.

14:17 Because if we find something, it would be interesting to see if there's someone there that looked like you because we often come back looking similar.

14:24 If we haven't completed a life, we'll come back maybe looking quite similar.

14:29 There you go.

14:30 We'll have to Google her, Isaac. Can we Google?

14:33 I cannot Google at this point in time, but I will Google and we can come back with it for next episode. Now, the other thing as well is Becca's had some interesting things with sleep paralysis.

14:45 Yes.

14:56 What really happens become a member of the coven at patreon.com forward slash.

15:01 How to witch bitch thank you yes this was this was a few years ago now i can't remember exactly when But, yeah, I had the full sleep paralysis demon.

15:16 Honestly, even thinking about it now.

15:18 Well, there's two. There's one for a female and one for a male. And what's the female one? Suckerpuss?

15:23 Suckerpuss.

15:24 Suckerpuss.

15:25 That's how I remember it. Suckerbiss. Suckerbusiness. Suckerpuss. I don't know. Oh, my.

15:32 God.

15:33 I'm so sorry.

15:34 You'll have to Googlerise that one too.

15:37 I don't think I can do that.

15:38 Not on the work Wi-Fi.

15:41 No.

15:41 No, but there are things where you have the hat man, you have the night watches, but a lot of people do sort of say that that's, you know, in medical terms is that your brain has woken up before your body has, and that's simply because if you're in a dream and you're screaming and you're running... You know, you do see people that sleepwalk and you see the trouble they get into. So it's kind of like a way that your body shuts down so that your brain doesn't take over and you don't hurt yourself in your sleep.

16:07 So that's the medical term for it.

16:08 But I do believe that there is a lot in that particular timeframe that, yeah, you are awake and so your body is asleep so you can connect to the world that's sort of out there. And you do, that's when they do come in. And I have had, when I was telling you about the lost soul and we had that sleep paralysis and we had it both at the same. which is interesting to have two people having it at the same time. And that's why I know there's something in that depth there because there was two of us and I remember waking up with Annie. She had a lost soul attached to her and we both went, I couldn't get out of this, couldn't get up and she couldn't get up either. And all of a sudden I woke up and I grabbed her and I just said,

16:46 get out! And she freaked out and I freaked out and she went, oh, my God, because she thought that nobody else would be able to see it or hear it and then actually there was something there. So, yeah, that is quite scary.

16:58 So what was your experience? You were sleeping but did you see something as well?

17:03 Yeah, so I was asleep and– I was looking over at my door and basically it was just a black figure with like a hoodie on. So I couldn't, the face was black and then it was just, yeah, like a man, almost like a man wearing a hoodie.

17:18 That's a watcher.

17:19 Yeah.

17:19 Remember I said they look like Dementors where they have the thing? Yeah, that's a watcher. So they're not actual demons or anything like that.

17:26 They're actually coming in to watch and just sort of like take notes type of thing of what's going on, especially if this was a time that you were maybe having some stress in your life.

17:34 Yes.

17:35 Yes.

17:35 What was going on?

17:36 It was not long after my dad passed, I think.

17:38 There we go.

17:39 Yeah. And by the way, it could have even been your dad because they actually, when they appear, they actually appear because a lot of people think, oh, when they see ghosts, they think the ghosts are white.

17:48 They're not. They're actually dark.

17:50 So they move dark at night time so you don't notice them, so they don't scare you as much.

17:54 Well, that scared me. Yeah, well, there we go.

17:56 I was screaming internally, but it was just like, because my partner was next to me and I was just making like whimpering sounds. But in my head, I was screaming bloody murder.

18:05 Wow.

18:05 And did he see if your eyes were open or shut?

18:08 No, he just heard me.

18:09 He just heard you. And then how did you get out of it?

18:12 Just eventually I must have screamed myself to get my body to move enough and then I woke up screaming.

18:20 So next time you see that, what happens is they disappear when they feel your fear, when it's a spirit. So next time teach yourself to just keep watching and just say, I'm safe, I'm safe, they can't harm me because eventually then you'll be able to communicate. That's how I taught myself to communicate with them.

18:37 Do you want to do that?

18:38 You don't have to. I'll have to try my best to not scream. Not scream.

18:42 But I had something similar this week, actually. I'd just gone to sleep and I'd just finished watching The Mobland.

18:48 I love The Mobland.

18:49 Okay, yeah, that was something on the side I wanted to watch, but anyway, keep going.

18:52 And I really like– there's a woman in it. This woman came to me and she had a face in front of me and I was about to say hello and then it turned into, what is that alien that's got that head that opens up and it's got all those sharp teeth?

19:06 Predator.

19:07 Yeah, like a predator.

19:08 And I was like, oh, and then the hand went around my throat and I was trying to scream.

19:14 No, actually I was trying to talk myself out of it. I can't remember.

19:17 I was saying something crazy like, I'll make you cake or I'll do something else or this is okay. We can talk about this in my head. And then I thought and it just kept coming forward and then I was like, no, I think I best just scream now.

19:26 And I'm going, ah!

19:27 And all of a sudden, my husband's waking me up and.

19:29 Going, what the fuck's wrong with you?

19:32 So you were screaming at it? Yeah. Wow. Yeah.

19:36 I was screaming at it.

19:37 But I was screaming at things like trying to talk myself out of a situation. And when I woke up, I went, okay, that means somebody I admire is sharpening their teeth to get me.

19:47 So I went, oh, great. Oh, that's okay. I'll just put it.

19:50 Around me oh what do you mean someone you would what do you how did you get to that because it was because you like that person in mudland yeah.

19:57 So i admire this woman and she's coming and towards me and i'm thinking she's safe and then.

20:02 She turns into the predator Oh, it's not me. Oh, no, it's not you.

20:06 Oh, yeah, it's not me.

20:08 It's not my sister.

20:08 No, no, no.

20:09 It's not you.

20:09 No, I actually think I know who it is.

20:12 Oh, good.

20:13 Funny enough.

20:13 Okay.

20:14 So I'll just watch. Okay. It's a watch and wait.

20:19 Yes. Well, there you go. So, Bec, if you do experience that again, you know, just try to keep your shit together, which doesn't sound like an easy thing to do.

20:27 No, not when you're paralysed.

20:29 Yes.

20:30 But anyway, we'll give it a crack. Yeah, but we'll have to look up about the demon lovers.

20:34 Oh, the succubus and the other one.

20:36 Yeah, yeah. Well, there's two. Succubus.

20:38 No, stop saying it.

20:42 It doesn't get any better the more you say it.

20:44 Succubus.

20:45 Oh, Jesus.

20:50 Jesus aren't going to help you.

20:52 No, certainly not with you. Thank you, Bec, I think, for joining us. It's been fun. It's been interesting. Okay.

20:58 Thank you.

21:03 All right, that was super fun with Bec. Now are you ready to do the stars? Do you want me to stay or go?

21:09 No, you can stay.

21:10 Okay, thank you.

21:11 Okay, so Aries. Relationships are under the microscope this week.

21:15 Someone's actions may tell you much more than their words, especially around love, trust or shared money. Don't charge into battle just because someone else feels uncomfortable. Your lesson this week is knowing the difference between chemistry and compatibility. That is me, and I can tell you with this last Aries.

21:32 There's a lot going on with Aries at the moment.

21:34 Is there?

21:34 Yeah.

21:35 Do you know what I did this week? What?

21:38 I saw, and I know it's absolutely ridiculous, but I saw you can reset your mind by wearing all your clothes inside out and walking backwards for five minutes.

21:46 So I did.

21:47 You didn't.

21:47 I did.

21:48 But I don't think it worked because I forgot to put my undies back to front. Hey, I'll give anything a go.

21:56 Apparently so.

21:57 I will.

21:57 I'll try anything. Did you put your bra on backwards?

22:00 No, no, no.

22:00 I know you think it's funny, but they do it in Japan all the time. Apparently it's a Japanese thing that what you do is to reset, you have to go backwards for five to ten minutes and you walk backwards through everything with everything back to front. It actually is a thing done in Japan to reset your life.

22:18 All right, you keep going at the start and I'm going to actually get some credible stuff about this except with the undies back to the G-string. It'll be fun.

22:24 Anyway, let's get started.

22:37 With the rule of Venus going retrograde, see, backwards, you're one of my signs to slow down and reassess. Partnerships could feel strange, an old connection could resurface, or you may simply realise you're outgrown in a relationship pattern. At work, simplify, stop doing six people's jobs and calling it helpful. Gemini, your routine needs a little witchy spring cleaning. Something you've been doing automatically isn't automatically working anymore. Work well-being and everyday responsibilities need reorganising and with Mercury moving into shadow period, re-read messages before firing off. How many times do you do that where you read something and you don't read it properly and then you give someone a mouthful? Your

23:22 mouth can run faster than your broomstick this week.

23:25 Ooh, yes. Been there, done that. Don't advise it. Cancer. The moon begins this week asking you to release something emotionally. Cancer.

23:35 For you, romance and creativity get very interesting, particularly if somebody from the past wanders back into your thoughts and into your inbox.

23:43 Money will also want attention, so make it worthwhile. Make it stretch. Go for discounts.

23:50 Leo. Leo.

23:55 You don't like that one? That was good.

23:57 Leo, you've got Mars and Jupiter bringing in plenty of fire to your sign, so you will be noticeable this week.

24:04 Noticable this week. Noticable this week.

24:07 Motivated and probably not interested in sitting quietly in the corner.

24:11 Don't put baby in the corner.

24:12 Never.

24:12 Never. But home and family matters may need revisiting. An old conversation will return and bite you on the bum. Be very careful how you respond. There is also a big victory this week.

24:24 Yay.

24:24 Virgo.

24:25 Yep.

24:25 Watch your communication this week. Words have extra weight and something somebody says may reveal much more about them.

24:32 Than they intended. Money is also highlighted.

24:35 So especially this week, be careful with how you're earning and how you're spending.

24:42 Don't undersell yourself as well and don't be impulsive.

24:45 Ooh.

24:47 Maybe that's impulsive spending too.

24:48 Ooh.

24:49 Libra, the sun is still shining through your sign, but Venus.

24:55 Retrograde, ask a much deeper question. What are you worth?

24:59 Money, pricing, possessions and self-esteem are also up for review. Stop measuring yourself by others. You know, you start running in your own lane.

25:07 Don't worry about other people thinking and doing.

25:09 Scorpio, this is a big day for you. Venus turns retrograde into Scorpio. Putting love and attraction. Man, these guys are just on fire with love the last three weeks. They are doing all sorts of stuff. Please don't rush into reinventing yourself. And it does look like a lot of Scorpios are going to go in and change their hair, change their wardrobe, change their makeup look. So there's a lot going on with them. Sagittarius, there's something brewing this week, especially in your dreams. So be really careful with that.

25:37 Keep a journal next to your bed. As well, also travel is something that you've been looking at and maybe a little holiday that was unplanned is coming in.

25:45 Capricorn, your public life and career are still highlighted. Friendships and groups will go through a review.

25:51 So it does look like you're going through old stagnant energy and letting go. You will notice something about yourself that you didn't notice before. Aquarius, your career is coming back for another look around. When I see that, I often think about, you know, a job that you pass up and then all of a sudden now about a year later it comes back up again and you wish that you'd taken that opportunity. There seems to be something coming back around in a working career for you. also there seems to be a bit of heat around you too there's a bit of gossip around you in the work space so don't react keep your mouth shut Pisces you've been asked to take a look at your self beliefs there's also some travel around you and also looking

26:28 at study if you are looking at doing some more study definitely go and do that as well so.

26:33 The weekly spell this week is.

26:36 I release what drains my heart my energy and my worth what is mine remains what is finished leaves I choose myself without guilt so mode it be You can write down all your desires on a piece of paper, fold it towards you three times and then just go bury it.

26:52 And that is your stars for the week.

26:54 Thank you very much. You did very well.

26:56 Yep.

26:56 Did you Google Arise?

26:58 Oh, I did, but nothing came up for what you said. Sure. Well, it says, well, some of them I couldn't get, I couldn't get into the website. I think there's probably some reasons for that.

27:11 Yeah.

27:14 Apparently, if you wear your clothes backwards, it can hold a significant spiritual meaning. Spiritual awakening, energy misalignment, protection from negativity, hidden truths, breaking old patterns, inner confusion, rebellion against expectations, childhood innocence, luck or unexpected opportunity, need for reflection.

27:31 Okay.

27:33 So, in Japan, there's a tradition of doing a reverse walk during seasonal changes. It's an ancient reset ritual because reality doesn't change from force. It changes from a point of entry. And the entry point is always inside of you. Reality shifts between patterns and interrupts. Psychology calls this the state of interruption. Neuroscience calls it prediction error. Break expectation, disrupt autopilot and update perception.

27:58 This can be done deliberately.

28:00 Okay.

28:01 All right. So there we go.

28:02 So it is– well, because Japan's all into feng shui and all that sort of stuff.

28:08 So that's kind of where it comes. So it is rooted in an ancient tradition. Darling. I was just so happy it was 6am. I was just thinking if one of my kids come out and go, Mum, what are you doing?
