Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland. This is Relax and Sleep Hypnosis Daily. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.
So I'd like you to get yourself comfortable sitting in a comfortable chair which supports your body or lying down on your bed. And just get in touch with how you feel emotionally right now. What's going on in your mind? What's the level of tension or stress in your mind from 1 to 10? 10 being the maximum it could be.
And then all the way down to 1 where it's pretty much non-existent. Where would you, what number would you place your stress levels at in this moment? So I'd like you to remember that number. Sounds like some kind of metric trick doesn't it? Bigger card, any card.
And what we're going to be doing during this recording is changing that level, reducing the stress levels in your mind. Any tension, anxiety that may be there is going to be reducing during this recording. And although we're not going to be focusing on your body, your body will be affected by your mind relaxing and feeling calmer.
Your body will also relax and feel calmer. That will just automatically occur whilst we focus on your mind. Focusing on that number, that particular number.
So whether it's a 3 or a 5 or a 7 or whatever number it is that you had from 1 to 10, what level that you would gauge your stress levels at. We're going to focus just on that number in your mind. I'd like you to see that number.
Just big and clear, just a number, nothing else, just that number. I'd just like you to imagine we're now going to turn that number into ice. I'm just going to blow on it and turn it into ice.
Now we're going to get a boiling kettle full of boiling water, already boiled. And I want you just to grab that kettle in your mind and pour it over the top of that number that's now made of ice. Just watch what happens to that number as that boiling water is poured over the top of it.
There's only one thing that can happen. I suppose it could go, ouch, ouch, ow, ow, but no. It's just made of ice.
It's an ineminent object. In fact, it's not, it's not real, not really. It's just an image connected to a feeling that you had before a few minutes ago.
And this kettle has got infinite amount of hot water in it. Just continue to pour. Maybe the ice isn't melting as quickly as you thought it would.
Maybe it's melting much quicker than you imagined. And you can move the kettle around in order to cover every part of that number that used to be there, because I imagine most of it's not there anymore. And continue pouring until every piece of ice is completely melted.
Now we're going to put the kettle down. What we want to do now is I'm going to re-freeze that water, re-freeze what was the number which is now just water added with the boiling water that was poured. We're going to freeze that.
And now I'd like you, in your mind, as I do it, I'm just going to make another number out of ice. But it's going to be the number down. So if your number was number five, this is now going to be number four.
So we're going to create out of the ice another number, but the number down, the lower number. So whatever number it was before, this is the number below that number. And now that's been created in your mind.
And it's the same water that used to be the ice of the number before. So it still has that connection to how you emotionally feel in your mind. Now we're going to get that kettle again full of boiling water.
And we're going to pour it over it again, over this new lower number. Watching what happens as you pour the boiling water over that frozen number. As it melts, maybe it starts to just fall apart.
Maybe part of it falls off, but there's still a part of the number that's standing up. As you pour that boiling water continuously over the remaining ice, watching it melt, watching it melt away completely. And now that it's all melted by that boiling water, the numbers disappeared completely.
You can put the kettle down again and just notice how that water looks. How harmless that water is. Maybe it's a bit messy, you know, needs a bit of a tidy up to clean it all away.
But it doesn't matter because we're now going to make another number. And this is a number lower than the previous one. So if you was a number four, this is now number three.
Or number two, this is now number one. So we're going to make that number now, I'm going to turn it back into ice. We're going to carve and create that number out of that ice into another number made of ice.
But a lower number. If you choose, you could just make it even lower. It's up to you what number you choose.
But just for the sake of the recording, I'm just going to say make it the next number down. It's up to you. And just observe that number, which is connected to the feelings and the stress levels in your mind.
As you observe the number, maybe you can allow it just to spin around gently and slowly. So you can see it from all angles. Maybe you can rise above it and see it from from above.
From a distance. And now, like before, you can get that kettle and start to pour that boiling water over the top of that number, that frozen number. Melting the ice.
Gently melting the number, watching that ice melt until it's all gone. Completely melted. Completely disappeared.
Now we're going to focus on that water again. This time, we're going to turn it back into ice. This time, I'm going to ask you to choose what you want it to be.
It doesn't have to be a number. The ice can turn into anything you want. Something that you'd quite like to be melted.
Something that you'd maybe like to say goodbye to. I'm just going to choose just a random object. So I'm going to turn the ice into a banana.
The shape of a banana. Of course, it's not really a banana. Just the shape of a banana made of ice.
You can do the same or maybe you choose something different. And you can look at this object. Maybe, like before, you can allow it just to spin very gently and slowly.
So you can get a visual from all angles. Get a sense of that object made of ice. And now, like before, we're just going to get the kettle of boiling water and pour it over that ice.
That object made of ice. And like before, just observe the melting of that object made of ice. And just watch it melt gently.
Observe the feelings of calmness that you experience. Melt in, gently melt in, completely calm, melt in, until all that ice has been melted away. And now as you look at all of that water, I just want you to imagine the sun suddenly appearing bright in the sky, really warm.
And you can watch that water dry up completely in the hot sun. So you can see that water disappearing quickly and going all dry in the sun, to the point where the last few drops of water are now disappearing, disappearing.
Paragraph spacing and recurring name or title errors have been tidied. Because this began as a voice transcription, an occasional word or piece of punctuation may still be incorrect.
