ZH3 Hash # 1665: Hypnoysis works... read description to see how

Take a deep breath and relax.

As you exhale, allow your body to sink deeper into the chair. With each breath, you become more and more relaxed. Focus your attention on your feet and toes. Feel them becoming heavy and relaxed. This relaxation slowly moves up through your legs, releasing any tension. Your legs feel warm and comfortable. The relaxation continues to spread upwards through your hips and lower back. Feel the muscles loosening and relaxing. Your abdomen and chest relax with each breath.

Now the relaxation flows down your arms to your hands and fingers. They feel heavy and warm. Your shoulders and neck release any remaining tension. Finally, allow your face and scalp to relax completely. Your jaw unclenches and your forehead smooths out. You are now in a state of deep relaxation. Your mind is calm and peaceful. In this relaxed state, you are open to positive suggestions. Your subconscious mind is receptive. Visualize yourself feeling confident and at ease in all situations. See yourself accomplishing something amazing at 1900 on Aug 7th.

You have all the resources you need within you.

When I count from 1 to 5, you will slowly return to full awareness, feeling refreshed and positive.
1... 2... becoming more alert...
3... 4... eyes starting to open...
5... message Granny Muff and tell him you want to hare 7th Aug 2025.

The You (the hare) will add details soon.

Where:
Check the location, if not announced, typically within Zurich 110 or adjacent zones. Look for Devil worshipers wearing running gear and wondering why they are not at home in the warm.

When:
We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm.

There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards.

All Welcome:
If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know:
• Physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humor is useful.
• The aim is to find the 'Beer Stop' at the end of the 'trail' and have fun.
• 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running) and some over-achieving fast runners will go further.
• The 'Hare', which changes each event, cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time.
• There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change.
• After Trail, we group for ~30-45 minutes for drinks, snacks and some fun. This 'Circle' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark).

Why bother leaving your warm sofa?
If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing.

'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (Hashs) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - or you can just come along and find out. See you there.

We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.
