Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland. This is Relax and Sleep Hypnosis Daily. I hope you're well.
Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. I'm just going to talk and before we go any further, I'd like you to get yourself comfortable lying on a flat surface like a bed or sitting in a comfortable chair that supports your body. There's not really anything for you to do.
I'm just going to talk and I'm going to do a bit of counting down. I do get requests for the counting down. They seem to be fairly popular.
So I'm going to do some counting down but it'll be different. I'll try and make each recording different. So in order for you to just relax a little bit, let go of some of that tension that you're feeling maybe at the moment.
If you're wanting to fall asleep, maybe letting go of some of that, that sense of alertness or feeling awake, perhaps when you don't want to. So I'm just going to count down from five down to one and as I count down, if you just focus on the numbers, just the numbers counting down and notice how you feel in this moment as you hear the numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers counting down represent you feeling calmer, not just in your body but also relaxing your mind.
And just notice how you feel.
There's nothing to do. There's nothing to say. There's nothing to think about.
Starting with number five, four, three, two, one. As you notice the gradual letting go of the tension in your body you may also begin to notice and be aware of how your mind is starting to slow down. This is just a natural thing that happens.
It's not really a special procedure. It's just natural because it's your body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax and the more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes. It's just a continuous circle of relaxation.
And there's that calmness that comes from relative quietness. You know, even if there's background sounds, either your side or mine, it's still going to be quite calm. You know, you haven't got the television on, there's no music in the background unless you're listening to the recording with music, of course.
You're very likely not going to be sitting in a room with other people but generally it's more ideal if you can do this on your own. So no distractions. And when you stop thinking about stuff, relaxation automatically rises.
A sense of comfort starts to grow. And without trying to build it up into something fantastical or something magical, this is just a natural process, something that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost, you know, the sense of relaxing completely happens really when you put no effort into it.
It's not something that you can really force, it's something that happens naturally naturally. And part of the process of this recording and others is simply to allow you to take advantage of this space, this time, to just let go. To just be here, to be in tune with how you feel, yet with the intention of wanting to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending on what it is that you wish for yourself in this moment.
As we know, relaxing is the majority of the process of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep part is the tiny bit at the end. The deeper relaxed you become, the easier you find yourself drifting.
But you can also, if you choose, stay focused on my voice and really enjoy the process of gradually relaxing in each muscle in your body effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting go completely. This time I'm going to count from six down to one and you can notice your mind calming down more with each number that you hear me say. Naturally feeling calm and slow and peaceful.
Six, five, four, three, two, one. Being aware of how your mind has slowed right down, sinking deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind you may notice that there are some thoughts still there, maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need your attention.
So what you can do is send love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts with love, like little petals from a flower, just sprinkle it over them. Petals filled with love towards those thoughts to let those thoughts know that you're not abandoning them, you just need them, you require them to just calm down, slow down, and quiet down for now.
So as you focus on those remaining thoughts, as we count down this time from seven down to one with each number, just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love kindness, gratitude over those thoughts which will allow them to just melt away and relax deeply. With every number those thoughts will become more and more relaxed, starting with number seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. And as you now notice how relaxed you're feeling in your body, we're going to focus on your hands, because the more relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed your body and mind are.
And as you focus on your hands and your fingers, there's nothing needed to be done, there's no clenching the fists or tensing the fingers or anything like that, it's just noticing and focusing on your hands, noticing how they feel, because the more relaxed your hands feel, the calmer your mind feels, and the more comfort you feel throughout your body. And you may have already noticed that your mind is starting to drift, focusing just on your hands and fingers, allowing them to experience a real deepening of that relaxation in your hands and fingers, more and more relaxed with each number.
From eight down to one, you can almost feel that healing and relaxing energy spreading into your hands and fingers, becoming even more relaxing with each number.
You hear going down from eight down to drifting, and then drifting again, starting with number eight, seven, six, five, three, two, one.
