Hello and welcome to Jason Newland.com. My name is Jason Newland. This is a whisper sleep session. It's kind of like an ASMR thingamajig.
I'm using a different microphone for this and it's the first time I've figured out how to actually use the external microphone. So I hope that it's coming out okay. It's kind of like a first ever in a sense.
I'm using a Tascam recording studio and a Rode microphone. There's also a pop filter here as well but I'm not sure if it's keeping me from being muffled. I've also got headphones on as well and they seem to be a bit creaky but I'll see how it works out.
So my name is Jason Newland and I only listen to this when you can safely close your eyes. There may be background sounds, hopefully not many. And as far as I'm aware, the main things or the main sounds that will be picked up on this recording that you're listening to now will be just me.
Although I have put Andre, the famous Andre the Ferret into my bedroom. So he'll probably be scratching at the door trying to get out but it'll only be for a short time. These sleep ASMR whisper sessions generally last about 20 minutes and all I'm going to do, I'm just going to talk softly or whisper softly.
I guess you can't really whisper loudly. Mind you, I used to know somebody years ago that he used to shout but kind of like shouting, whispering, which was a bit weird. So, I'm just gonna talk about your body and we'll do a bit of a relaxation session.
We'll get focused on how you feel now. Starting, I guess it's ideal for you to get yourself into a position where you're sitting down or lying down on a flat surface. I feel as if my hearing's gone a bit, so I'm trying to listen but I'm not sure if the level of volume is still the same because I'm listening through my headphones.
You know that feeling when your ears pop, that's the kind of feeling that I just had just then. So, it's kind of weird really. Anyway, I hope that it sounds okay.
So, as we focus first of all on how you physically feel, just being aware of those sensations that you are currently experiencing right now, this second. Starting maybe at the top of your head, and moving down, maybe moving down all the way down your spine. And as your focus concentrates on your spine, you know that there's nerve endings that reach every single part of your body, a bit like, kind of like an octopus or a tree.
And as you notice the physical sensations of your body, all the different parts of your body, as your focus moves down your spine, and even as you get to the lower part of your body, your spine, you know that those nerve endings move all the way down your legs, to the tips of your toes. And you know that those nerve endings move from your spine into your shoulders, all the way down your arms, into the tips of your fingers. And you know that those nerve endings move from your spine into all your internal organs, your heart, your lungs, your kidneys, your kidneys, your liver, your digestive system, and all those muscles, all the way down your back, from the back of your neck, spreading down your shoulders, your arms, and your hands, just allowing those muscles to relax, moving down, relaxing all of the muscles in your back, your neck, every single piece of skin on your body feels increasingly relaxed, and those feelings of comfort in your muscles also spread to your chest, relaxing the muscles in your chest, relaxing the muscles in your stomach, as you notice the sensations of your lower back, the muscles in your lower back, leading to that area of your hips, allowing your hips to feel loose, allowing your hips to feel relaxed, and that whole area, your groin, your buttocks, your lower back, the tops of your thighs, can feel really relaxed, and that feeling of comfort can continue to spread downwards, including the rest of your thighs, the backs of your thighs, the sides of your thighs, the muscles in the front of your thighs, moving that sense of relaxation into your knees, calming, relaxing your knees, and that feeling can move down into your calf muscles, and your shins, into your ankles, feeling more and more relaxed, relaxed, it's as if the sense of relaxation is spreading and dripping into your feet, filling your feet with comfort, spreading, not just through your feet, but relaxing all the nerves, and relaxing all the bones of your feet, as well as relaxing the skin on your feet, and that feeling of comfort can spread through your toes, feeling so calm, and the same thing that's happened with your legs, and your feet, and your toes, that same level of relaxation can also spread down your arms, your elbows, your forearms, and your wrists, spreading and dripping into your hands, that relaxation filling your hands, the nerves of your hands, relaxing the bones of your hands, relaxing the skin of your hands, and as I count down from 10 to 1, you'll begin to feel more sleepy, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and you can enjoy that sense of comfort, knowing that as I count down from 10 to 1 again, your mind will start to switch off, in the same way that you would maybe turn the lights off in your house, when it's time for bed, and the different rooms of your mind turning off those lights, with each number counting down, now, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2,
