#199 Expecting Comfort - Relax & Sleep Hypnosis Daily

Hello and welcome to Relax and Sleep Hypnosis Daily. My name is Jason Newland. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

I'm drinking a nice cup of tea. So, oh yeah, I've got a website. I haven't had a website for decades but now I've changed the website recently.

So it is now a podcast. So it's jasonnewland.com and basically if you go on there all my latest recordings are available on the very first page in the format of a podcast, you know, the same as if you go on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, wherever. Now I've also got links to each individual podcast.

So if you just want to listen to the Deep Sleep Whisper ones or the Let Me Bore You To Sleep ones or the Relax and Sleep Hypnosis Daily, you can click on that picture of the podcast and it just takes you to the latest ones of those and all the previous. So I do four different versions of each recording, just a standard recording without any background music, the recording with background music, the same length as the recording.

I do a five hour version and a 10 hour version.

Now the five and 10 hour versions continuously have music for the whole time but it's not just music, it's also there's some counting down, there's some focusing on different body parts, there's also positive affirmations as well. So although you may be asleep, you'll be hearing positive things, positive words and statements. So that's just just to let you know what's what that's all about.

Just in case you haven't listened to any of the longer recordings or in case you've never heard the long recordings, you might listen to them but not heard them because you've fallen asleep. So if you are interested in what's going on further into the recording, you could always just fast forward it, just have a little listen and it really is just me either counting down from a hundred down to one very slowly or just giving positive comments, positive affirmations and I'm looking to make some different versions of that as well.

And you may be thinking, can you please get on with the recording Mr Jason? So I shall, I shall.

Now I suggest that you wear loose clothing when you listen to these recordings, just for your own comfort really. So you know, because if you've got tight trousers on or a belt, then maybe undo the trousers or undo the belt or just change into sweatpants. And not be wearing tight clothing.

It might be nice if you're going out but when you're relaxing, not so much. And because I'm recording this at midday, there's a little bit of background sound. It sounds like a crow outside, which is a bit weird.

When you listen with the music back in the background, you won't hear much of the background sounds. But I mean, in a way, that's what makes each recording individual. Because although some of them will be fairly similar in a way, you know, it's just me talking and you know, they're probably quite, maybe hard to differentiate between some of them.

But they are different in their own way and they've been recorded at different times. And there's a different type of energy, I would say, associated with each recording. And also how you feel when you're listening can have an effect on your positive reaction to listening to these recordings.

You know, sometimes you will just, you may feel that you just instantly relax. Other times you, it may take a little while. You know, you might have had a difficult day and it might take a while to unwind, which is very understandable.

And the main thing is to not give yourself a hard time about it. There are no rules. There's no right and wrong when it comes to relaxation recordings.

And I've been doing this since 2006, making these recordings. And unfortunately, I've not got any better. I've not improved at all.

I think the ones back in 2006 might have been better than this one. However, I do my best. I do my best.

And some people listening might think, oh, why don't you get on with it? But this is part of the recording. This is part of the comfort, the relaxation, the the trigger of listening to my voice, leading you into comfort, leading you into just relaxing your mind, the parts of your body, just slowly letting go. Your mind slows down.

And as you focus on my voice, you kind of move away from other things that maybe you were focusing on before, that perhaps you weren't enjoying focusing on. I think one of the main things that people have said to me over the years in messages and that is that the biggest problem is an overactive mind when it comes to relaxing and falling asleep.

The fact is that somebody with an overactive mind or someone with a very, a very, let's not use the word overactive, but someone with a very active mind is a sign that you can focus your mind and that you have that energy, that capacity to understand that you can choose to let go.

You can decide just in your own mind, you can say out loud, you can say I'm going to relax. My mind is going to calm down. My mind is going to slow down.

Or you can just think it. You could write it on a piece of paper and then lean back on your chair and close your eyes and focus on that. But you're not trying to force it because forcing it doesn't work.

You can observe it. You can watch and notice how the muscles in your body start to relax. Your breathing slows down, becomes deeper without any effort on your part.

And your mind does start to slow down. Because not only have you given yourself that suggestion, and a suggestion is never more powerful than when you give it to yourself. I can say to you, relax, slow your mind down a thousand times.

But when you say it to yourself, that's when it really, really means something. And the only reason it works when I say it to you is because you're basically accepting it. You've decided to agree.

So when I say, I'd like you to focus on your feet and just observe them feeling more relaxed. You've given your feet permission to relax. It's almost like my words are inside you telling yourself to relax your feet.

Which means that you have that power, that energy to relax your body whenever you choose. You have the ability to really, really let go. Significantly.

Really let go. Ever so easily. And there's something to be said for realizing that actually you are in control.

Of how you feel. But without being controlling. So you can decide to feel relaxed.

And it's no different really, if you think about it too. Let's say if you're walking home from the supermarket. It might not be a long way.

It might just be the local shops and you've got shopping in your hand. Or in your hands. Or maybe you just got off a bus.

You know it's not a long journey. But maybe it's cold outside and you're walking towards your home and you're looking forward to getting there. You're looking forward to putting the shopping down.

Taking your coat off, your gloves, your hat, whatever you're wearing. Taking your shoes off. And sitting down.

And you're almost rehearsing in your mind the feeling of relief. Of taking the weight off your feet. Taking the shoes off your feet.

The constriction. And just allowing your feet to feel nice and warm and relaxed. In turn sending that sense of pleasure, of comfort through your entire body.

And you're rehearsing that. And maybe you've done this hundreds of times in your life. Maybe you got home from work and the first thing you do is just sit down.

Maybe you lie down for 10 minutes. It's a real sense of pleasure and relief. A physical release of tension.

Instant relaxation. And even though you may be rehearsing it on your way home. Or even thinking about it whilst you're at work.

The fact is that you've trained your mind and your body to automatically go into that state of comfort. That sense of deep relaxation. And it's a nice feeling to be able to let go completely.

And the other thing about this is it works every time. It works every single time. So if you have a routine.

I say every time. Generally every time. Maybe there's occasion when it won't.

But generally every time you're imagining getting home. Putting your feet up. Resting your body.

Instantly feeling that release of tension. And the increase in comfort throughout your body and your mind. You expect it.

You expect it because that's what normally happens. And when it does happen. You're not surprised.

Because it's normal for you to feel relaxed easily. It's just the standard. You expect it because it happens regularly.

And it's a wonderful thing. And the reason you feel so relaxed is because you've allowed yourself. You've given yourself permission to let go completely.

It's not down to anyone else. It's all because of you that you're able to relax. Which proves how wonderful the mind is.

How wonderful your mind and the ability your mind has to change the way that you're feeling in an instant. Able to let go of tension from your body. Instantly.

Almost like it's just dropping to the floor. And that sense of peace in your mind. That maybe wasn't there before.

A sense of real calmness. Feels amazing. And look how easily you've achieved this.

All on your own. By yourself you've achieved this. Sense of peace.

And when you have that inner peace. The outer world seems to change. Your perception of the outer world changes into a more positive view.

Staying relaxed and peaceful. A feeling that maybe you'd like to keep. For a long time.

Now the more often you spend in this state of comfort and peaceful relaxation. The more you are positively affected. When you're not listening to my voice or relaxing deeply.

You know when you're just living your life. Doing your thing. Whatever it is you do during the day.

You may start to notice that you feel calmer. Things that perhaps used to bother you no longer do. You start to see the world as a kinder place.

You're able to see through the negativity and see possibility. Possibility when before there was just negativity. Able to realize that you can choose what you do next.

In fact every second of every day you choose what you do next. You're in control of your own life. And the more time you spend in a state of comfort.

Positive relaxation. The more of an effect you have in your life. Changing things in ways that maybe you didn't even believe was possible.

Feeling more and more able to start planning for a future of happiness. Filled with kindness and love. And things to look forward to.

A future created by you. Now if you choose to open your eyes when this recording is finished. You can do.

If you want you can. If you haven't already. Give yourself permission to drift into a deep sleep.

And I'll just count down from 10 down to 1. Each number sending you 10 times more relaxed. 10 times more peaceful. Now 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
