![]() ![]() ![]() He considers experimenting on Valdemar, an author whom he had previously mesmerized, and who has recently been diagnosed with phthisis (tuberculosis). ![]() He points out that, as far as he knows, no one has ever been mesmerized at the point of death, and he is curious to see what effects mesmerism would have on a dying person. He is interested in mesmerism, a pseudoscience involving bringing a patient into a hypnagogic state by the influence of magnetism, a process that later developed into hypnotism. The narrator presents the facts of the extraordinary case of his friend Ernest Valdemar, which have incited public discussion. Poe toyed with this for a while before admitting it was a work of pure fiction in his marginalia. An example of a tale of suspense and horror, it is also, to a certain degree, a hoax, as it was published without claiming to be fictional, and many at the time of publication (1845) took it to be a factual account. Valdemar" is a short story by American author Edgar Allan Poe about a mesmerist who puts a man in a suspended hypnotic state at the moment of death.

Cox's days as a cool cat were by then a long time gone, but he continued to write music. That was more or less the group that later played on the Obie Clayton records."īefore splitting, the Obie Clayton band recorded another album that never came out and some singles and, as Cox told a Procol Harum biographer in 1999, "there's tons of old stuff lying around on tapes it's just that I'm now in my fifties and I don't know where to go with these things". ![]() But I didn't really like that, so I got a band together instead. ![]() After that I played a few gigs on my own. So that was how I got to make the first Matthew Ellis LP. There was a record producer in the audience called Jerry Dane, and he asked if I wanted to sign for a deal. We played live as the film was being shown. I wrote some music for that and got a little band together to perform it. I was studying at Cambridge in 1969-70 and someone was making a film there, a real 'arty' black-and-white film, like a silent movie. As Cox himself put it: "I think the two albums I made as Matthew Ellis were a mixture between Elton John and Procol Harum. ![]() ![]() ![]() Van de Kolk’s work goes a long way to explain this. I knew Yoga helped me find a peace and comfort in my body that I didn’t find anywhere else, but before reading The Body Keeps the Score I didn’t understand why. ![]() For me reading it was a series of light-bulb moments. My copy is now dog-eared, with thoughts and ideas scribbled everywhere and fluorescent highlighter pen marking passages throughout. The Body Keeps the Score was first recommended to me by a yoga teacher friend of mine some years ago, and then it formed one of the core texts on the syllabus for my Yoga Therapy training. That van der Kolk’s work is receiving this attention right now fills me with hope. The journalist Zoe Williams interviewed him because his book The Body Keeps the Score has become a huge pandemic hit, topping bestseller lists this summer, despite being first published seven years ago. I was delighted to read an article about Bessel van der Kolk in the Guardian’s G2 yesterday. ![]() |
