It was a glorious day. Blue sky, sunshine, friends all surrounded me on that golden beach. I ran into the sea thinking it was a good depth to dive forward turns out the sea bed kicked up slightly right in front of me. I collided head first and momentarily blacked out. I opened my eyes expecting to stand up, walk out the sea and join my friends. I opened my eyes floating in the sea completely unable to move. It's amazing to think that one little thing, one brief moment, can change everything.From that moment I had a new life to live. New circumstances to accept and adapt.Three weeks spent in a Portuguese hospital (they were incredible !) with surgeries to realign my dislocated fourth vertebrae. Two weeks in intensive care in the UK. Five and half more months in hospital before I was back in the real world again.In that time I've experienced so many things.In January of 2015 I taught myself how draw and paint by holding the utensils in my mouth.I had a sore on my back that meant I was bed bound for a few weeks.I was getting bored sitting in bed for days on end so I found an app on my iPad that I could use for drawing by holding a stylus in my mouth and touching the screen. I loved it.When my health had improved I was able to get it of bed and I taught myself how to draw and paint with actual pencils and paint by attaching the utensils to a mouth stick.As a young child I loved art. But as I grew up I fell out of love with the subject. I lost all my enthusiasm to create.Without my accident I never would have found that love I had as a kid.Adversity has given me a gift.

Could the keys to making every day a good day basically come down to three things: acceptance, presence and gratitude? This week's guest says so. His name is Henry Fraser, a best-selling painter, best-selling author and highly in-demand public speaker. When he was seventeen years old – Henry's life changed in a moment when he was paralysed from the shoulders down after breaking his neck diving into the sea in Portugal. In the weeks that followed, he nearly died several times - but Henry's hardest moment actually came a few months after his accident when he first caught sight of his reflection. He experienced a profound breakdown, swiftly followed by a breakthrough that started the process of him becoming the man he is today.Before his accident, despite being an academy rugby player for Saracens, Henry described himself as being quite fearful and anxiety prone – a glass half empty kind of guy – but he's definitely not any more. The lessons Henry shares about the power of acceptance, presence and gratitude are so profound and simple to understand. These are the key skills any of us can develop to live a good and happy life, whatever the circumstances we find ourselves inHenry's art: https://henryfraserart.com/Henry's first book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Big-Things-Inspirational-Memoir/dp/140916778X**A quick heads up - I am soon going to be having a short break from putting out full length episodes, probably after next week's conversationBasically I need to focus on finishing my book, so am going to be putting all my energy and focus on that for a short while.

In today's episode Jonny speaks with an inspiring man whose journey he's been following for nearly a decade now, Henry Fraser; Author, Artist and inspirational speaker. Henry addresses the devastating paralysis he suffered when he was 17 with a calm acceptance underpinned by defiance and, if there were to theme today's episode it would be in the power of allowing. Reminiscing over first meeting at Henry's debut art exhibition held at his school with a painted portrait of Jonny as one of the starring pieces, the conversation unfolds into the joy of discovering how shucking the worries of perception of others and finding that all of you is left. The freedom and joy that comes in releasing control of what you cannot, and taking control of what you can. How far you can go once you've hit rock bottom, once you've hit your limit it's amazing how much further you can go, and seizing control of that which you can control, and letting be that which you cannot, a lesson Henry has arguably learnt a very hard way! Through tragedy, physical hard work and jeopardy, emotional turmoil, it would appear, comes enormous growth and strength.To find out more about why Henry Fraser resonated with Jonny when he was exploring this topic, please check out the previous episode “What Am I... Beyond My Physical Self”.To keep up to date with Henry's art, books, talks and activity in general you can follow him on Insta and Twitter: @henryfraser0 and check out his website: henryfraserart.comTwitter: @JonnyWilkinsonInstagram: @jonnywilkinsonofficial

In today's solo episode with Jonny, Jonny explores the way we seem to identify who we are so closely with our physical bodies and how this limits our search for what we are truly capable of being and creating.When we associate ourselves with the way we look and what we can do, what happens to who we are when our physical self is changed irreversibly and our activity restricted? Do we become less? Or can this actually be a doorway to revealing so much more?These fascinating questions lead Jonny to introduce Thursday's guest Henry Fraser - author, artist and inspirational speaker. Henry was a promising rugby player at The Saracens Academy before a dive into the sea on holiday in 2009 left him paralysed from the shoulders down. His story and insights are enormously powerful.Twitter: @JonnyWilkinsonInstagram: @jonnywilkinsonofficial

This week’s conversation is with Henry Fraser, a talented artist, who paints stunning landscapes, animals, portraits, and more.There’s one caveat -- he draws using his mouth, as an accident years ago left him paralysed from the neck down.So that would beg the question, how did he learn to paint?He began by using a stylus on his iPad, which he held using his mouth to draw.He then taught himself to use a pencil, and then paint, by fixing the utensils required a stick attached to his mouth.Henry is also an author – he wrote The Little Big Things, which won Non Fiction Book Of The Year by WHSmith.Losing your ability to move from the shoulders down at age 17 – that’s up there with the most difficult circumstances I can imagine someone having to deal with.So with that context, I think you can get an idea of why I wanted to speak with Henry.This conversation is about acceptance, resiliency, and gratitude.It’s about making the best of a situation, no matter how bad things seem on the surface.-----Please support our partners!We're able to keep growing and creating content for YOU because of their support.

Since his accident, Henry has achieved some remarkable accolades, he is a bestselling author for his two books, “The Little Big Things” and the “The Power in You”.

ROWLING What a story of transformation, inner power and inspiration - JONNY WILKINSON 'Henry Fraser's positive outlook, perseverance and passion for life are nothing short of extraordinary. Much can be learnt from this remarkable man' DAILY EXPRESS Mouth artist, motivational speaker and author of the inspirational memoir The Little Big Things, Henry Fraser, explores the transformative power of acceptance in this motivational guide. Combining his wisdom and insight, Henry shows you that the key to keeping a positive attitude - in the face of difficult and unexpected challenges - is to accept that seemingly negative experiences, such as failures, disappointments, mistakes and misfortunes, are actually the ultimate markers of human success. Sharing the lessons he learned after a freak accident left him paralysed from the neck down, Henry shows us that setbacks are inevitable in life but defeat is optional. He will encourage you to always search for a new perspective if what you see, at first, seems only dark, limiting or frightening. He believes there is always a reason to be grateful. The Power of Acceptance inspires you to accept yourself and to release negative feelings towards things, situations or people that you have no control over and cannot change. Henry reveals the simple words you can say to yourself and the practical changes you can make to become someone who adapts to unpredicatble events and obstacles, and who accepts whatever hand they are dealt in this crazy game called life.

Mai Ling and Marty share what’s been happening in their respective worlds and how things have been different during the current pandemic. Then Martyn takes the mic to have a conversation with visual artist, speaker, and bestselling author Henry Fraser. Henry shares the story of the accident which disabled him and how he overcame the odds and learned to make something beautiful from the tragedy. He talks about how his speaking led to a book deal, some of the writing challenges he’s faced, and his newly released book, The Power In You.
Meet Henry Fraser, an incredible young man with a powerful first-hand experience of weathering the extreme challenges life can throw our way. At the age of 17 Henry, with his fitness, friends and future ahead of him, went for a swim one day in Portugal, on a post-exam celebration holiday with his school friends. Diving into shallow waters, he severed his spinal chord and was paralysed permanently from the shoulders down. Six months in hospital, with much of this time spent ventilated and unable to move at all, he was left questioning what lay ahead, what he could look forward to, how he could live in such an altered state. Today, he’s adapted to paralysed life - far from a linear process, with constant challenges to face – and the mindset and belief systems he's carved for himself are truly inspirational, lessons for us all. Henry has also shaped a surprising career as a mouth artist, teaching himself to paint beautiful figurative paintings with a brush in his mouth. He’s proof we never know what is around the next corner, yet we are equipped to withstand far more than we give ourselves credit for. In his own words, Henry may have lost his physicality but he has shifted his strength to his mind after years of perceiving his only source of strength to be his body. We talk about Henry’s life before the accident; what his time in hospital felt like mentally and physically; his approach to mindfulness and staying mentally healthy today; the joys and challenges in his day-to-day; how his work as a mouth artist has evolved; and what constitutes therapy for him. Enjoy the words of this amazing human being and please share with others in your world.

Sam Weinberg is among the most active of New York's newest generation of improvisers. he's worked extensively with Ben Bennett, Jaimie Branch, Sandy Ewen and Weasel Walter. He leads and co-leads W-2 (with Chris Welcome), BLOOR (with Andrew Smiley and Jason Nazary), Maestro Day (with Henry Fraser and Joe Moffett). Most recently he's been focusing on solo saxophone performance as well as sound collage and musique concrete. Today's a good talk with a thoughtful musician.
Today is a good one. Originally from Massachusetts, trained at the New England Conservatory and based in Brooklyn for the last fifteen years, Brandon Seabrook is a true original. Equally adept at the electric guitar as he is at the banjo, his playing is intense, complex, intricate and completely over the top. He's worked closely with artists such as Peter Evans, Jessica Pavone, Anthony Braxton, Nels Cline Cooper-Moore and Mary Halvorson. He leads his own bands, Die Trommel Fatale, Seabrook Power Plant, Needle Driver and most recently, the Brandon Seabrook Trio featuring Daniel Levin on cello, and Henry Fraser on bass. Brandon is deeply funny and original cat. We need more Brandon Seabrooks.
