Hello, welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason, this is a daily relaxation hypnosis session for stress, anxiety and panic attacks. So today I thought I would do a calm session, like a meditative type of session using some visualization. So with this session it's going to include imagining, of course, imagining lying in the bath surrounded by candles all along the bath edge.

The water's at a safe level and of course if you don't like baths, not like don't like baths, but not if you're scared of being clean, but if you don't, for any reason you don't like baths and it's you know it's an issue, then you know don't watch turn this off and watch something else because I don't you know the whole point of this is for you to feel relaxed.

So it's going to be based upon lying in a bath with the water covering your chest and you know and maybe your shoulders, but you know so it's enough for you to feel safe. Your head's above the water but your body can feel relaxed in the water at a temperature that you choose.

Okay so before we start I'd just like you to get in touch with how you physically feel at this moment. You don't have to do anything. Of course to gain the most benefit from this session you could follow my instructions when I actually say them, but ultimately you know you could actually feel more relaxed by doing nothing, by just laying there and listening to me talking.

It can have a positive relaxing effect anyway so you don't necessarily have to do anything. Of course you don't have to do anything but if you do follow what I say it can lead you into levels of relaxation that maybe you weren't aware it was possible to feel so relaxed so quickly. So easily.

So let's get started. So with your eyes closed if it's safe for you to do so I'd like you of course first of all get into a comfortable chair. The kind of chair that if you do fall asleep you'll be fine and you know you're safe.

You don't fall out of it or anything and also maybe you would like to lay down on a bed or a flat comfortable surface. Anywhere where it's comfortable, safe and remembering that at all times if you need to readjust your body then just do it. It's absolutely fine.

You don't have to stay in any particular position. Do whatever you need to do. This is about your comfort and your safety and about you feeling good.

So I'd like you to start first of all just getting in touch with how you physically feel. It's always a good start actually to do that. Like a mindfulness process starting at the top of your head.

Just noticing how the top of your head feels. Your forehead. Just noticing how it feels.

Not trying to cause it to feel relaxed and calm but just being aware of how it is. So if there's any tension or anything like that you can just accept that it's there. You're not trying to push it away at the same time.

If there's feelings of comfort there you're not trying to hold on to that feeling either. You're just being completely at ease with whatever your body presents to you. Whatever feelings are just naturally there.

You just allow it to be there. You accept that that's how you're feeling now. Because you know that those feelings will change because when we do the relaxation in the bath your whole body will relax deeply.

But it's a case of just getting in touch with how you feel and just by doing that you naturally feel more relaxed anyway. Because it's a mindfulness process which does result in relaxation even though we're not specifically aiming at it. We're just allowing your body to be however it is and acknowledging it by focusing on those different parts.

So as you focus on your eyes now. Noticing how your eyes feel. Your eyelids.

All the tiny muscles around your eyes. Maybe the muscles just above your eyelids. Like where your eyebrows are.

Maybe you could raise your eyebrows and feel it stretch. Feel that stretching. Noticing your mouth.

Maybe your lips. You could lick your lips and just notice how your lips feel. And with your tongue you can touch the top of your mouth.

Maybe move around your teeth. Just notice how your mouth feels with your tongue. Maybe the bottom of your mouth and your lower teeth.

Notice how your tongue feels itself as it just lays there in the bottom of your mouth. And now as you focus on your jaw. Notice how your jaw feels.

The jaw is the part that we often can hold tension. So without trying to cause your jaw to feel relaxed and loose. You can just notice how it right this second.

And just accept that that's how it is. And if you choose you can just move your jaw around from side to side. If it's comfortable for you to do that.

Focusing on your throat. Just being aware of how your throat feels. Maybe move your head around a little bit if it's comfortable to do so.

Just to feel the stretch of your neck. The front of your neck and the sides. And then you can be aware of the back of your neck.

And the muscles in the back of your neck that lead down into your shoulders. The top of your back. Just notice that feeling like a wave moving down from the top of your back all the way down.

To your lower back. Just being aware of those feelings. All the way down that area.

And if you choose you can just turn your body slightly. Maybe move you know lean forward or lean back a little bit. If it's comfortable for you to do so.

Just to stretch some of those muscles in your back. To become more mindful of them. As you focus on your shoulders.

And the muscles in your shoulders. Moving down your arms. Your elbows.

Your forearms. Your wrists. If you choose you could just move your hands around.

Moving your arms around. As well. Just getting more in touch of how your arms feel.

And as you do that you can also become focused on your hands. The backs of your hands. The palms of your hands.

Each individual finger. If you move them around you can feel the air. You can even feel the coolness of the air in between your fingers.

As you now focus on your chest. Moving all the way down to your stomach. Just being aware of how your chest feels.

And how your stomach feels. Maybe there's some tension in your stomach. This is another place where we sometimes have a tendency of holding stress.

And if there is any stress there just allow it to be there. Maybe you'd like to stretch those muscles in your stomach. Just so you can get a clearer feeling of those sensations in your stomach.

And as you move down to your hips. If it's comfortable for you to do so you can move your upper body from left to right. Just turning gently.

So you can feel your hips and your lower back. Just notice how it feels. As you now focus on your thighs.

The tops of your thighs. The sides of your thighs. The back of your thighs.

Maybe if it's comfortable for you to do so you can tense the muscles in your thighs for a few seconds and then just let go. Notice how that feels. As you notice your knees.

Noticing any sensations that you may have in your knees right now. Being aware of your calf muscles. And your shins.

Just allowing them to be however they are. Maybe you'd like to just tense the muscles in your knees. In your calf muscles.

Just gently for a few seconds and then just let go. Notice the sensations when you do let go. Focusing on your ankles.

Maybe moving your feet around. If it's comfortable for you to do so just turning them gently. You can feel a sensation as the leg joins the feet by the ankle.

You can also move your toes if it's comfortable to do so. Giving you more sense of how your feet feel as they connect together. The tops of your feet.

The bottoms of your feet. Your heel and your toes. Just being aware of how they feel.

Not trying to cause them to feel more relaxed. Just accepting however they feel. Just being aware of those physical sensations as they arise.

So now that you've gone through the different parts of your body. Just being aware of them. A calmness generally comes over you.

Spreads over your body like a wave of pleasure. A wave of acceptance. And as that happens your mind can just be however it is.

You can notice how your mind feels. How you feel emotionally. What emotions are there.

Not trying to push them away. Not trying to reduce or increase. Any specific emotion.

But just being aware of it and accepting it. Acknowledging it. Just being here now.

In this moment. Now I'd like you to imagine. You're walking into the bathroom.

And you see the bath. Full of warm water. Just the right temperature for you to relax in.

Maybe there's bubble bath. Maybe there's bubbles everywhere. Just imagine you take your dressing gown off or your towel.

Whatever's covering you. Or maybe you're just naked and just get into the bath. Gently and safely.

Sitting down in the bath. And allowing that water to cover your body. Maybe with the bubbles.

Maybe there's some special sea salts or something like that in there. Which actually starts to fizz and starts to relax your body naturally anyway. And as you lay down.

Your head above the water at all times. But the water is covering the whole of your body. All the way up your chest.

Your shoulders. And to your neck. And of course your legs.

Arms. Toes. Feet.

Stomach. Back. All under the water.

Relaxing. And you notice. The light in the bathroom starts to dim.

Of its own accord. And all these small candles appear one by one. A light.

And shining. All around the rim of the bath. The top of the bath all around.

And there can be 10 of them. Numbered 1 to 10. And you can just notice those candles.

Maybe there's a smell. A nice pleasant smell connected to the candles. Maybe there's a lovely aroma connected to the bath.

Maybe some kind of oil that's in the bath or the bubble bath. But it smells lovely. It smells nice.

And you feel calm and relaxed. And although you were feeling relaxed before you got into the bath. You can now really.

Really. Start to increase that relaxation. And what we're going to do now is.

We're going to blow out the candles. Starting with number 10. Down to 1. And each time we blow out a candle.

You'll become twice. As relaxed. Remembering that you're safe at all times.

And your head stays above the water at all times. And your entire body. Will completely.

Relax. Twice as relaxed. Every time you blow out.

A candle. And when you get to. Number 1 and blow that candle.

Out. The last one. You can feel the most relaxed.

That you've ever felt in your life. A pleasure that you maybe didn't even know. Was there.

Didn't even know it was available. For you to experience. And that feeling.

Will from now on be connected to my voice. Be connected. To the videos that you watch with me on.

To the mp3s that you listen to. You can feel this relaxed. Every time you hear my voice or see my videos.

So that you instantly. Gain the most benefit. Maximum benefit.

From every session. That you watch or listen to. And then this feeling can start to spread.

Through your future. Travelling ahead of you. So that you can feel wonderful.

Throughout the day. And throughout the night. And this can change and transform your life.

In a way. That allows. A softening.

Of those hard edges of life. A softening of the sharp edges. Making things safer.

Making things easier to deal with. In a more relaxed way. Transforming those issues.

That were problematic. Into situations. That are manageable.

The way you think and the way you feel. And the way you see life. Can be transformed.

By this deep relaxation. Because this feeling can stay with you. So starting with number 10.

And every time you blow out. One of the little candles. You become twice as relaxed.

Starting now. And I'll just count the number. And you blow out the candle.

And feel twice as relaxed. 10. Twice as relaxed.

Nine. Twice as relaxed. Eight.

Twice as relaxed. Seven. Twice as relaxed.

Six. Twice as relaxed. Five.

Three, twice as relaxed, four, twice as relaxed, three, twice as relaxed, two, twice as relaxed, one, twice as relaxed. Notice how you feel physically and emotionally calm and relaxed. You can enjoy these feelings of physical and emotional pleasure spreading through your body and your mind, knowing that you can have these feelings any time that you choose.

And every time you hear my voice or see my videos, you'll instantly re-experience this feeling of relaxation and pleasure. And that pleasure and relaxation, that energy travels forward in front of you the whole time, transforming your life and your future, so that you can feel more pleasure, you can feel more happiness, you can feel more self-acceptance, you can enjoy each day, and from now on, you can enjoy being you, because you are amazing, you're a wonderful person, and you are loved.

Remember that.

Now, I'm going to count from one to three. I'd like you, when I get to three, to open your eyes, feeling wonderfully relaxed, wide awake, full of energy, completely calm, and feeling wonderful. One, becoming more aware of outside sounds.

Two, remembering that these feelings can stay with you and transform your life in a positive and healthy way, so that you can feel happy more often. Three, wide awake, eyes open, notice how you feel, notice how relaxed you feel, how loose, how calm, and remember you can have these feelings whenever you want them. These are your feelings, this is your body, your mind, and if you choose, you can have more relaxation and calmness every day, more happiness.
