#58 Relax & Sleep Hypnosis Daily (Jason Newland)

Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland and this is Sleep Hypnosis Weekly. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. This is going to be both a relaxation session and a sleep session and there'll be two versions, one without music, one with music in the background, which is provided by Kevin McLeod and his details will be in the description.

Now only listen when you can safely close your eyes, if I haven't already said that. I might have already said it, I can't remember. I say it so many times.

So this really is just going to be a nice, a nice calm, kind of a chat in a sense of, I know it's one way, you know, it's me talking at you, I guess in a sense. But it's just going to be nice and relaxing. And if you're listening purely for relaxation as opposed to sleep, then what you could do is sit in a comfortable chair, make sure that it supports your body in the event of, you know, falling asleep.

And you could also perhaps set your alarm to wake you up if you had something else to do. Now, sitting in the chair doesn't necessarily stop you from falling asleep because I fell asleep early today doing a sleep, a deep sleep whisper recording. Couldn't use it because it was just me snoring.

After a few minutes, it lasted about an hour and a half, the recording, but it was a mixture of me snoring and me mumbling. And then here we go. Like that, so I'm going to do my very best to keep myself awake whilst I record this.

I might have to splash cold water on my face, but I am determined because I've been falling asleep a lot making me like making sleep sessions. And it's not not ideal, but it does show how boring they are and how maybe relaxing they are if I'm falling asleep myself while I'm making them and I'm actually talking at the same time. So imagine if you're just lying on your bed, listening, not having to do anything, you know, because I've got this the screen shining on me, the lights are on, you know, I've got all this equipment and I'm talking as well.

And I'm still able to fall asleep. And it's not because I'm a great sleeper. It's just I sent myself to sleep talking.

So this stuff does work. It works on me, it works on anybody. You know, if you can fall asleep while you're actually doing something, and when you're not doing anything, it's just so much easier.

And I think maybe part of it is, you know, it's not the most interesting thing to listen to. So you're lying in your bed, you know, you've, when you lay down on your bed, your body automatically relaxes. It's just a natural response to lying down.

Your head touches pillow and your mind starts to slow down. And it's not, you know, it's not some kind of magical response. Basically, if you've got the lights off, and you close your eyes, there's less stuff, there's less stimuli.

You haven't got the visual stimuli, you haven't got the physical stimuli of moving around, touching things, sitting down, standing, walking, picking things up, all that stuff. So that's physically, you're just lying there. Visually, you know, you might be lying down on your bed, and it's during the day, you haven't got a light on, but you can still see light through the curtains, maybe.

And you can see a little bit of light through the eyelids. I mean, the eyelids are, you know, great for protecting the eyes to a degree, but doesn't keep out a huge amount of light. See, I've got my eyes closed now, and I can, it's just light.

It's not as light as it is with my eyes open. But I can see the light bulb, and I can see the light shining through my eyelids, because they're only thin. But my eyes aren't doing anything.

When my eyes are closed, when my eyelids are closed, there's some light, but that's it. I can't, I'm not stimulated by anything. And when I say stimulated, it's not about getting all excited, you know, I'm not looking at a television screen, or looking at my table and thinking, oh, brilliant, and you know, getting a big, some kind of endorphin rush.

It's not that, it's stimulation, it's visually, it's just what you see. It doesn't have to be exciting. But it does activate the brain.

So when you've got your eyes closed, there's less going on. You're lying on a bed, there's pretty much less going on. But there's something I think when you lie, well, when I lie down, of course, we're all different, but I really enjoy lying on my bed, most of the time.

It's a release, even if it's sometimes I lie down for five minutes, just to enjoy the process of letting go. So my body doesn't have to do anything. I'm not, I'm not demanding anything of my body.

So with our eyes, we kind of, you don't have to put a lot of effort in. Maybe if you're reading or you're searching something, you're using your eyes for that. But generally, you look around and your eyes just do their job.

Physically, we perhaps have more of a tendency to push ourselves to, you know, walking and perhaps running for a bus or picking things up. And we put a lot of pressure on our bodies to just to be active, to do the things that we need to be done. So we're very demanding on ourselves, especially on our bodies, physically.

Now with our ears, we hear what we hear. We don't, you don't have to really do anything, providing your hearing is okay. I have partial hearing loss in one of my ears, but nothing like major, major.

And it's sometimes I'll concentrate a little bit, but generally, we don't have to do too much. When it comes to hearing things, we just hear what's kind of going on. So again, when you're lying in your bed, okay, you're hearing my voice.

If you're listening to me now, of course, you're hearing my voice. You may hear other sounds in the background. My neighbor downstairs has got a little bit of music playing, but it's not loud.

I don't know if the microphone even picks it up. You might, you know, there might be the odd dog barking in the background or a car going past. My question is, how did the car get into my flat? Get out of my flat and that dog, take the dog with you.

So there's always going to be the odd sound. And what's very strange about ears, and I've discovered this lately. It's a phenomenon that I didn't realize before is because I spend a lot of time in and out of whatever you want to call it, trance or hypnosis or whatever you want to call it.

But altered states where, because when I'm doing a recording, when I'm making a relaxation session, sleep session, I'm doing what I'm talking about in that moment. So just as when I was talking about eyelids and closing your eyes, and I was doing it, and I was focusing on the light that I could see through my eyelids. And when I focus on relaxing the shoulders, for example, I'm also doing that.

So I'm not just sitting at a table reading a script, like a story, you know, just actually living it with you. And of course, we all feel differently. We all have different physical and emotional responses to words and to whatever we do, you know, with different people.

However, I do get a sense that with these recordings, there is a connection, a positive, can only be positive, a positive connection, where where not only the fact that I'm doing what I'm talking about, comes through in energy, it almost all comes through. You know, the computer sounds weird, but and then it, you know, comes out of the speakers or out of your headphones into your earlobes and it's just that little added extra.

And it's almost like, you know, whether consciously, unconsciously, that it's more than just words.

It's more than just listening to someone reeling off a bunch of like a script, you know, and there are lots of hypnosis scripts that I could read. And I never do, I never read a hypnosis script. I do read hypnosis scripts.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to lie there. I've got books, but I don't read them out, you know, not reading as I'm speaking. And, you know, because this is a subject that I study, and I have been studying for 20 years, for fun, really, because it's just it is fun.

With the hope that I would absorb whatever is necessary in order to then produce something like a recording that can have the needed response that you require the needed energy, the, you know, adequate help in relaxing and drifting to sleep. That is required by yourself, as you listen to my voice. Now, with the ears, what I've noticed with my ears is, there's a there's a point where when I'm drifting.

So you know, that drifting where you're there, you're listening to my voice. And you're kind of, it becomes a little bit foggy, in a sense, a little bit foggy, a little bit, it might even seem as though my voice is a little bit further away. And perhaps you start to not even take any notice.

So much of the words that I'm using. So much as the tone of my voice. And it's that fogginess creates almost like a line, a line that you know that when you cross that line, you're going to be in that zone between being awake and being asleep.

And it's a place that we all go to every day, at least twice a day. It's good to be more, you know, the more times, it depends on how many times you wake up and go back to sleep. Every time you go to sleep, you go through that little area where you're neither awake nor asleep.

And every time you wake up, you also travel back through that area where you're neither asleep nor awake. And it gets to the point where, when you're in that area, whichever part of your body that, not shouts loudest, but is most attractive to you, or attracts you, needs you, wants you, encourages you, you kind of go in whatever direction is most attractive to yourself. For example, if you're in that zone now, between being awake and being asleep.

Now, you might want to continue to listen to my voice. Or you might want to enjoy more of that feeling of drifting and falling asleep. And in that zone, in that zone, that area, you almost go in and out of being asleep and being awake, drifting and dreaming.

Because drifting really is just dreaming when you're kind of half asleep. It's daydreaming, I guess, or night dreaming, but let's say daydreaming. It is kind of like a daydream.

And a daydream, if you're sitting in a chair with your eyes closed daydreaming, or with your eyes open even, there's not really a lot of difference between that and when you're asleep. As far as you're, you've drifted, and your mind has moved towards sleep. And with that is that creativity, you know, the place where pretty much anything is possible.

So when you do have these drifting daydreams, you could go in any direction. And one way of actually making your sleep time more enjoyable, maybe the day you're dreaming, stay as you drift into sleep, is the more positive, the more time you spend creating positivity. When you're awake, the more positive you're likely to feel when you're asleep.

I want to say create positivity. For me, I listen to positive recordings. I mean, this, I guess, is a positive recording.

It's positivity. But you know, it's about listening to something maybe that makes you feel good. And that's doesn't have to be listening, you could read something you could something that's uplifting, but at the same time, maybe a bit educational, maybe goes against how you would naturally feel, or how you've been taught to believe in the past.

And then changes how you feel into a sense of positivity. You know, so increases your positivity by embracing it really. And as I said that I started to think, that's kind of what I'm doing, in a way, is during the lead up, the relaxation process, the chatting, the moving into that zone, between being awake and being asleep, and then allowing yourself to drift into the sleep.

It's almost like you've got that positive energy right from the start, and you bring your own positive energy as well, which allows that positivity to grow and to have a really useful effect upon your ability to relax so deeply in your body and in your mind. And to move when you are ready into that foggy area where you're neither awake nor asleep. You're just, I suppose it's a little bit like floating, and when you're in that zone, that area, you kind of leave your body behind.

I don't mean this in a spiritual way, but your body doesn't join you when you're there. It really is just like your essence, your being is there, but your body and your mind as well, it just doesn't really join you, because it's not needed. Because nothing, you're not required to do anything, you don't have to do anything physically, you don't have to see anything, you don't have to hear anything, you haven't got to taste or smell anything, you haven't got to think about anything.

And that's why it's so, it's quite a nice, safe space to dwell, you can stay there maybe for a little while. So there's no rules to say that you have to move forward into sleeping unless you want to, or unless you just naturally allow the processes, the organic processes, to just do what they do. Naturally, you know, you just get relaxed completely in your body and your mind, and eventually you drift off and you fall asleep.

Just the natural process without any effort. In fact, effort doesn't help sleep in any way. The only effort required when you listen to my recordings is just to press the play button.

That's it. That's the only effort. And what I've noticed is when I'm in that zone, in that area, that foggy bit between being asleep and being drifting, you know, so you're awake and you're drifting and that area, that foggy area, where the attraction is almost like there's a magnet in the sleep area sort of drawing you closer.

What I've noticed is when I'm in there, my eyes, my ears seem to stop working. And I don't know if this is the same with other people. And I'm not sure if it's just as I enter that zone or maybe, you know, I get further.

It seems like the closer I get to falling asleep, then my ears just stop working. I mean, physically they're still working. You know, it's still there to help you if you need them.

It's still there to keep an eye on everything, not an eye, but an ear on everything. But I noticed because there's a gap, there's a process when coming back from the drifting. I want to kind of drift back to consciousness when I'm in that zone.

I noticed sometimes that I'm aware, more aware of what's, you know, around me. And the last thing to kick in to work is my ears. So I'm aware, and then my hearing comes in and I can hear.

Which means things like background sounds, just standard background sounds, can't really affect us in a way that perhaps we used to believe. It's almost as if once you've crossed that area, that threshold, moving towards being asleep, that you no longer, you don't need certain things. Your hearing, your sight, your physical movement, it's almost like it's not really relevant anymore.

So there's something quite nice, I have to be honest, I quite like the drifting part of going in and out, of almost falling asleep, sometimes even dreaming. And then, sort of waking up a little bit, feeling so relaxed, and realizing that, like, wow, I just drifted off, but I didn't know that I drifted off. Like, how did that happen? How did I move from here to there, so smoothly?

Because you move from being awake, to drifting, to being asleep, so smoothly.

It's almost the smoothest journey in the world, there's no other smoother journey, to the point where, I guess there might, there must be a point where you don't even know anymore, if you're awake or if you're asleep. But then maybe it's not as simple as that, maybe it's more a case of you're so relaxed in your body, in your mind, you're so relaxed, you just don't care.

You generally don't care if you're awake or if you're asleep, it doesn't matter, because you feel so relaxed, so comfortable and peaceful.

And you know, because you can feel it, that you're in a safe space. And that knowledge allows you to open up, allows the door to sleepiness to open up. Because when you feel safe, those natural processes, like sleep, happen so smoothly.

It's almost as if it's an invisible process. And you drift, and your mind starts to think about stuff, but it's not really real. It's your mind, as opposed to a dream state.

And in that dream state, you may become aware that you're lying on your bed, you're drifting to sleep, and you feel relaxed. But you can't hear anything, you can't see anything. And even though you feel relaxed, you can't necessarily actually feel anything.

And that's okay, because you feel that sense of confidence within you that comes from a lifetime of being able to sleep naturally. And that's regardless of what kind of sleep that you've had lately, before you decided to listen to me and let go completely. Because we've had so much experience of relaxing, so much experience of drifting.

So many examples in your life of when you lie down, and you just, you just drift away. And you don't need to remember how good it feels for you to let go completely, and to embrace your ability to relax so completely. As you drift even further into that sense of comfort, which naturally leads you along the path towards drifting into deep, healing sleep.

Drifting into deep, healing sleep. And it feels really nice. It feels really nice to let go, to really, really let go, completely.

Lovely feeling. Just to be able to enjoy being you. And to experience this sense of, there's like a sense of less happening.

It's almost as if you're in this big hall and the lights are being turned off at the back of the hall. And the space is getting smaller, because there's less lights on. To the point where you realize that the area where it's dark is much bigger than the area where there's light.

And the area where it's not lit feels so attractive and so calming, so peaceful, really peaceful, peaceful. As you allow yourself to relax even deeper, even deeper. And as I count down from 50 down to one, you can allow yourself to drift even deeper.

And with every number you can go twice, become twice as relaxed and twice as sleepy. With every number you hear me say, twice as relaxed and twice as sleepy. Now, 50, 49, 48, 47, 46, 45, 44, 43, 42, 41, 40, 39, 38, 37, 36, 35, 34, 33, 32, 2, 30, 1, 20, 20, 9, 20, 8, 20, 7, 20, 6, 20, 5, 24, 23, 22, 23, 2, 20, 1, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1.
