Hello, welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland and this is Relaxation, Hypnosis for Stress, Anxiety and Panic Attacks. Please only listen to this when you can safely close your eyes and please subscribe to this podcast so that you can be updated on new uploads or new episodes. Right, this is going to be a short recording which may come as a relief to some people because I know some of the recordings go on, you know, quite a long time sometimes.
This is going to be a short exercise and I'm going to be using the Magic Mirror which is something that I've used many, many times over the years and it can be used, it's basically a visualisation technique and it can be used for lots of different reasons. So what I'm going to do is this is going to be something which you can use, it's a very short exercise in order to calm your mind because when your mind is calmer, your body's calmer.
So all it really entails, you don't have to get into a relaxed state beforehand because this is part of that process.
You can do it at work, maybe, you know, take five minutes, go to the toilet, sit in a cubicle and you could do it there maybe. But only do it when you can safely close your eyes. It doesn't mean you have to close your eyes to do it.
Some people can visualise with their eyes open. So I can visualise Andre, my little boy ferret, with my eyes open just like I'm sure you can visualise a picture of someone that you love, that you care about. Or maybe your front door, you know, just your car, you know something.
So we don't always have to have our eyes closed. But I prefer it for doing any kind of visualisationy stuff. And even the visualisation doesn't have to be some kind of really clear picture.
You know, it doesn't have to be high definition. It's more about the feelings anyway. So all it is, is you take, get yourself into a place where you're not going to be disturbed for a few minutes.
You could do this on a train or on a bus where, you know, you can close your eyes for a couple of minutes. And all you do is you imagine in your mind that you're standing in front of a mirror. The mirror is bigger than you are.
It's just a bit higher than your own height. So let's say I'm five foot eight. And so I'd have the mirror that would be about six foot tall.
And it's wide enough for your whole body. So let's say it's six foot tall, five foot wide mirror for me. Not that I've got a five foot wide body, but I don't know what it is.
But you know, it's just a nice big mirror. And it's a magic mirror. And the reason this particular mirror is magic is because you can step inside it.
And as soon as you step inside it, you feel instantly relaxed. So before you step inside it, you can see yourself. And you can notice that you're starting to feel more relaxed in your body.
Just being near the mirror doesn't necessarily make sense. But there's an energy coming off of the mirror, this magic mirror that as you get closer to it, there's a warmth. Not like heat necessarily, but a warmth in a sense of comfort, an emotional warmth, a relaxing warmth that shines from this mirror.
So the next thing you do is in a second, we're going to step inside this magic, relaxing mirror. And then we're going to get in touch with how we feel. Okay, so I want to count 3, 2, 1 and say step inside the mirror.
And then when I say step inside the mirror, just step inside. And notice how much more relaxed you automatically feel as you step inside that magic relaxation mirror. Now, 3, 2, 1. Step inside that magic relaxation mirror now.
And naturally feel that sense of comfort spreading through your body and your mind. It feels as if that stress and anxiety that was there before you stepped inside that magic relaxation mirror is starting to drain away out of your body. Draining.
Almost like this is invisible energy sucking that anxiety and stress and worry out of your body and out of your brain and your mind. Completely draining your body and mind of all those negative feelings and thoughts. Leaving your mind and your body feeling so relaxed and calm.
And you can stay as long as you want inside this mirror, this magic relaxation mirror and enjoy the experience. But there's an extra thing, an extra bonus to this. It's because anything that the magic mirror takes away, any stress, any anxiety, any overload, any kind of problems or negative energy that the mirror sucks out of your body and mind, it stays in the mirror and it gets dispersed and disposed of by the mirror.
That negative energy, stress and anxiety cannot leave that mirror. The magic mirror doesn't allow it to leave. The only thing that can leave that mirror is you, with a relaxed body and mind.
Calm and feeling good. So while you're in the mirror, you can feel wonderfully relaxed and calm. When you're ready to step outside of the mirror, you will take those feelings of calmness and relaxation with you.
It's almost like being transported. You know, like in Star Trek, you're being transported from one place to another. But those particles that were negative, stress, anxiety, have been taken out in the same way that blood can be cleaned by scientists.
Taken out the bits that they don't want. So that's what happens with this magic mirror. You step out of the mirror and all of that anxiety and stress that was there before, that negative energy that was there before, that's no longer in your body or mind, is left in that magic mirror to be disposed of.
And you step out of that magic mirror, feeling completely relaxed. As I count from three down to one, I'm going to say step out, and just step out of that magic relaxation mirror, taking those feelings of comfort that have now become more enhanced. That sense of relaxation is stronger within you, in your body, your mind.
You feel almost physically stronger, and your mind is light. Almost like it weighs less than it did before, because that weight has been taken off of your mind. It's been sucked out by that magic mirror, leaving you feeling positive and re-energised, energised in other words that I'm not pronouncing correctly.
Regenerated, that's it. So if you're ready to step out, I'm going to count from three down to one. Three, two, one.
And step out now. And notice, now that you've stepped out, notice how you feel. Notice how you feel right now, how much more relaxed you feel.
And even as I was talking through it, I was feeling more relaxed. Didn't even bother me when I mispronounced a word that I couldn't pronounce. Regenerated or re-energised, which is what I was looking for probably.
I ended up saying regenerated. And notice how you feel, how much calmer you feel, how much looser your body feels. It's almost like your joints have been oiled, and you feel looser, and your mind is lighter.
And that magic mirror just disappears, because there are millions of magic mirrors available for you. And all that negative energy that was there before, that the magic mirror took out of your body and mind, has now been disposed of. So no longer important or necessary to you or your body.
It's gone, and you can now enjoy the rest of the day, feeling wonderful, and relaxed, and calm. And you can redo this exercise as often as you choose, because you've got an infinite amount of magic mirrors available for you. Not just relaxation ones, there's loads of different ones.
So any time you'd like to just take a break and get rid of that negativity, just offload it, this is something that you can do. It's easy, it's quick, it's natural, and it's relaxing. So that's the end of this recording.
So thank you for listening, and remember to be kind to yourself, because you deserve to be happy. Lots of love. Bye.
