(5 hours) #2 let me bore your PAIN AWAY (Jason Newland) (2nd October 2022)

Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. This is a let me bore your pain away session. Just as I started recording my little Andre the ferret has decided to climb on top of me or climb onto my lap and he is biting my hands thinking for some reason that my hands are a female ferret. He was doing this yesterday and he's left a bit of a hole in my hand so I'm trying to stop him.

I don't know why he's doing this. I do know why he's doing it because he wants to he wants to get down and dirty with another ferret. Anyway my name's Jason and this is it's the second one.

Let's put my glasses down. So it's the second session in this series or in this bunch of sessions for pain reduction pain relief and the theory behind it really is that I just talk and your mind and your body gets really bored so that you actually feel more relaxed and you may be so bored that you those feelings that were there before change. Now only listen to this or if you're watching it on a video only watch and you can safely close your eyes because this is purposely or purposefully boring and this isn't one of those silent sessions.

In a sense there will be background sounds due to due to the time that I'm actually recording it. It's 12 30 on a Saturday afternoon. Andre's running around getting a bit hectic so you may hear him.

You who knows what's going to go on outside someone is bound to start some lawnmower at some point. If that happens it makes no difference to what we're doing here. Because if the only way these sessions worked if the only way it worked I can get this sentence out if I needed complete silence then I'd never be able to make these sessions.

That's the bottom line because even at three o'clock in the morning there's still sounds of maybe traffic in the distance or a helicopter going over. Not usually looking for me but you know hovering over the area that I live that happens fairly regular. Even the sound of the fridge turning on and off is always sounds.

And to be fair really if you think about it what's the point in having complete silence because I'm going to be talking so I'm going to be breaking that silence. So there's always going to be sound because I'm talking. So what difference does it make if it's me talking or if you can hear Andre in the kitchen making noise with the carrier bags or something happening in the garden.

It doesn't matter because this is a real life situation. It's not sterile the way that you would get in a recording studio where everything is perfect and you hear every sound. But at the same time there's benefits.

It's not edited. You hear everything. Just a few minutes ago or a few seconds ago I was stuttering over a word.

I don't edit that out. If I suddenly felt the urge to start swearing and, you know, F in and blind in then yeah I'd probably start again or that would be a good time for me to press stop and to not record. So everything that I do in this session is about allowing or inquiring into your physical state presently and encouraging that part of your body maybe that perhaps was problematic physically.

You can start to feel a sense of if not shrinking then maybe a sense of relief. So I don't know about you but sometimes it feels that there's so much stress surrounding a painful area. So you've got the non-painful area and then there's the area that's, you know, causing discomfort.

But between those two there's a huge amount of stress there. So weird just as I talked about background sounds it sounds like the there's roadworks being done outside. So I do, well I was going to say I apologize but I don't apologize it's not me doing it.

If I was standing here making this recording and, you know, I had a drill and I started drilling things and, you know, bashing things with a hammer and driving a tractor around my living room then, yeah, then maybe I could apologize because I was the one causing the noise. Because I'm not, I won't apologize because there's nothing to apologize for. I love being in the position not to apologize.

I've got no idea what's going on out there. So the area surrounding that painful part of your body that was painful, you think about it like a map and that could be the shape of a country and there's an outline to that. The outline as there's all this stress and in some ways you think about it like a country and maybe it's a country that's really out of the way and it's not near any other country.

So all that area which you would class as sea, the ocean, is actually stress and tension which is holding that pain where it is and it's that tension is thick, so thick in fact there's more tension than there is pain. All right, Andre has decided to climb up on me again. Andre, you don't realize I'm trying to be a professional hypnotist.

What are you doing? I'm trying to be boring. How can I be boring when you're the most beautiful little creature, little furry, little furball, little poo ball, that keeps climbing on me and acting cute. Hey, how am I supposed to do that? Look at you, you're so beautiful, aren't you? You are.

Let me get back to being boring. I know you think I'm the most exciting person in the world. I know.

Why are you laughing? Oh, you're joking me. Oh, thanks, Andre. So you've got that area which is like a country, you know, on a map and that's the area that has got those physical feelings that you had that, you know, were not very pleasant.

I'm using words like that because there's lots of ways to describe chronic pain. Oh, I should also mention, I forgot about this, I should remember this. I only ever listen to any chronic pain relief session or get treatment for chronic pain or any pain, whether it's, you know, acupuncture, hypnosis, reflexology, whatever.

Only get the treatment after you've found out the cause of your pain by your doctor or medical specialist. And I can't believe Andre's now eating in his cage, making as much noise as he can. This is turning into the Andre show.

So you've got that area. I'm sorry that if I keep coming back to it, it feels a bit less than what it was. There's not really much I can do about that.

It's all part of the process is when you come back to, you know what it is, it's that tension which was there. And I think it's lessened. I'm guessing that it has reduced the tension that's surrounding that area.

And what's weird is the more that the tension surrounding that area is, the less, the less you feel that area. It's as if that tension is feeding. It's as if that tension surrounding the area is feeding the area.

And as that tension reduces, it starts to drain the pressure. And every time you refocus on it, it feels less and less pressurized. So what's Andre's now? You know, I think Andre's making more noise today than he ever does.

Can you hear him? He's eating so much, I can physically see him growing. He's a bit like a squirrel, but instead of keeping the food in his cheeks, he's just eating it all straight away. That's focusing back on that area.

And you notice that every time you come back to it, it feels a bit different. I wish he'd stop making so much noise. It doesn't have to make that much.

See, before I started doing this session, he was fast asleep, not bothering no one. I've only been up for an hour. That's not enough now, he has to start sneezing.

He can hear me. I think he's doing it on purpose. What's next? He's going to start playing the trumpet.

All right, focusing back on that part of your body that was causing you problems before. Just noticing how it feels different. And it could be that it's a bit of a strange situation because logic doesn't kind of come into it.

And there's also the human brain. There's a thing, I don't know what it is, and I do it as well, is I have an issue with my lower back. I'm kind of lucky that it doesn't.

It's okay if I don't move it. I don't do anything, you know, it only kind of flares up if I do something kind of strenuous. So, you know, I'm fairly lucky in that way.

But it's just wear and tear. It's not a big deal. I've been to the, I went to a specialist and just needs stretching and a bit of, you know, a bit of care, care really, a little bit of love and care, and acceptance.

So, you know, I'm 48 in August, so I have a few little injuries and niggles at my age. It's natural. It doesn't bother me that much, you know.

Just a few. I've got an injured shoulder, which is just, in some ways, is better than it has been for a long time. And I've got a broken hand at the moment, so that's a little bit just, I can't bend it at the moment still.

Four weeks on, I still can't make a fist. But that's okay, I suppose. But there's this thing about, you know, when someone says, have you tried this for your issue? Whatever it is, it can, you know, it could be as simple as, um, might not even be physical.

You might have a, an issue with your wall or with your fence. I can't believe how much noise he's making. Forget, forget the fence.

Just concentrate back on your, that part of your body. Notice how it's changed. Now he's biting at the carpet.

You know, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he started setting off rockets and playing the drums. He's, this is the most active he's been for a while. He just wants me to take him out.

So focusing back, not just on the area, but also the surrounding area. Notice how as that changes, the area actually reduces. You might even, even feel like it reduces in size.

And that's, that's the amazing thing about humans and our bodies and our minds, because everything is constantly changing. Everything constantly, always changing. And I think that's, I think it's quite exciting in some ways to think that we're not just static, not static.

The way that we, you know, we're not fixed, fixed in like a plant pot. Let's face it, even plants grow. And plants are stuck in a pot.

A plant in a pot continues to grow, even though they can't go anywhere. They still, they're still motivated to, to grow, to expand. Not that I compare in chronic pain with plant pots.

You know, plant pots are very similar. No, I'm not, I'm not comparing, just saying that we grow constantly. Yeah, there seems to be sometimes this human belief or pretense or wish, maybe, want for things to stay the same.

Things will never stay the same. Doesn't mean that you can't continue to do what you enjoy doing. My life has changed a lot over the years.

Over the last 12 years, my life is very different to how it was when I first made my first recording in 2006. But now, 12 and a half years later, or 12 years and four months or five months later, four months, a lot's changed, but I'm still making these recordings. I've got a lot more hair, gray hairs than I used to have.

I'll tell you that. I never realized, there's a weird thing about gray hairs. It's like they have their own agenda.

They don't play by the rules. Their gray hairs are mavericks. They just want to do their own thing.

All the other hairs are facing in one direction. The gray hair says no. No, no, no.

I'm going to face over there. You're all sheep. I'm going to walk down the path less traveled, which is a bit strange because the gray hair then starts sticking up in a weird position.

I've noticed with eyebrow hair, they're not even gray hairs, but I get these hairs now that seem to want to stick up. I don't understand it. It seems to be like my virility is moving from my groin to my eyebrows.

I'm going to be having a lot of very stiff hairs in my eyebrows. It's a bit strange. Sorry, you can still tell that I'm a man.

I've got erect eyebrows. I'm focusing back on that part of your body, noticing the area around. In fact, you can notice that all of it just feels different, feels less.

Your mind is more relaxed. Your body is more relaxed. It's just standard reaction too.

I mean, this is something that you've done. This is your body and your mind. Whenever you're feeling more relaxed and your body also feels more relaxed and that part of your body that maybe was problematic in the past feels more ease and relief because you give yourself permission to feel more ease and relief.

You allow yourself to feel calmer and looser. I think that's quite special. It's a special thing to acknowledge that you're the one that's done this.

You're the one that has allowed yourself to relax. It makes you wonder that, doesn't it? What else could you achieve by giving yourself permission to achieve it? What else could your mind do for you when you ask your mind to do it when you give your mind permission to help you? It's not just your mind, it's your brain. Your physical brain can transform the way you feel in an instant.

It can be about making friends with your brain, connecting, not thinking of it as some kind of separate entity, but realizing that your brain is everything. The brain is the most important part of your being. No part of your body will work without your brain.

The brain does everything for you. So maybe, isn't it time that you loved your brain? Isn't it time that I loved my brain? Isn't it time that we showed that love and expressed that love? And I don't mean buying flowers or booking a fancy restaurant to take your brain out for lunch, for dinner, for a romantic night out. You don't have to marry your brain because you're already married to your brain.

It's about showing respect and kindness and realizing that your brain is your best friend. Your brain is your soulmate. And some people, me included, sometimes wonder what it would be like to have a twin, a twin brother, maybe an identical twin, and to live my life with this person, my brother, always to have that connection that I'll perhaps never have with anyone else.

We already have that. It's called our brain. It's not separate from us.

But it is something that we can ask for help. And the brain is something that can heal. But we need to help it heal.

We need to guide the brain to heal, which can transform your life in so many ways, not just for reducing physical sensations so that you feel more relaxed and calm in that part of your body that we have been focusing on throughout this session, in between thinking and talking about Andre and the brain, your brain, the most important organ in your body. I was saying organ quietly in case Andre starts pulling out an organ and starting playing organ music.

I think he's set on causing havoc today.

This chair is very squeaky. The same with everything that I do. The proof is in the feeling, or in the result.

How do you feel? How do you feel? How does that part of your body feel? And the good thing about listening to me, there's got to be at least one good thing. The one good thing about listening to me is even when the session is completed, the words can still stay with you. My voice can still travel with you.

And you know when someone says something to you and maybe you might even dismiss it at the time, but then it starts to play on your mind and you start to think about it. And it actually doesn't make a difference to your life and you start to make changes. I've had that too.

Often surprised at how a simple sentence can actually make a difference. I did have an example, but I can't remember what it is. I think, no, there was an example.

I like to watch interviews with famous people. Not when they're promoting, you know, an album or a book or a movie. Or, you know, I quite like to hear their philosophy, especially when it comes to maybe sports people or musicians.

Someone that's devoted their whole life to maybe one particular thing, a particular goal, an outcome. I like the mentality behind that. It's just a personal preference, I suppose.

I think, imagine if we could just focus on what we enjoy doing, but then focusing on just that thing, and devoting the life to it. And how great that would be to wake up every day and look forward, you know, and be invigorated and maybe excited about, you know, getting on with that activity that you love doing. So focus one more time on that part of your body.

By the way, that's not my lower back, that's the chair. Just notice how that part of your body feels. I'm going to count from 20 down to one, and notice what happens to the feelings in that part of your body.

20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. And again, noticing how you feel. And this brings us to the end of this recording. Thank you for listening or watching if you're watching on YouTube.
