00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:06.879
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name is

2
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:11.000
Jason Newland. Please only listen when you can safely close

3
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:16.079
your eyes. This is going to be a relaxation session

4
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:28.399
with Vinnie in the background. Do you want to see him?

5
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:28.920
There you go?

6
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:44.000
Shall we leave him in the background. That's better, So

7
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:50.799
we'll continue the rest recording with Annie doing whatever he's

8
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:55.640
going to do. So thank you for listening. As I said,

9
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.759
this is going to be a relaxation session. All I'm

10
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.479
going to ask you to do is to close your

11
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:07.120
eyes unless you want to look at my funny face,

12
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.959
but I would advise close in your eyes because I'll

13
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.640
be honest, I find it easier to relax when I'm

14
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.519
not looking at myself in the mirror. Just find it easier.

15
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:24.920
I'd like you to just get in touch with how

16
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:33.439
you feel, just noticing how you are, Just going through

17
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:40.359
your body, focusing and looking for the part of your

18
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:49.640
body that feels the most relaxed. That's it. Just look

19
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:59.719
for the part of your body that feels the most comfortable, loose.

20
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:06.799
Maybe there's even a nice feeling, a feeling of comfort,

21
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:11.280
or a feeling of pleasure or yeah, maybe even a

22
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:22.000
really yeah a pleasurable feeling. So I'd like you to

23
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:29.759
zone in on that particular part of your body and

24
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.400
just count from ten down to one as you focus

25
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:37.240
on that part of your body, allowing the rest of

26
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:41.439
your body to relax, but at the same time allowing

27
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:46.639
you to.

28
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:55.000
Really get in touch with that feeling. Now ten.

29
00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:17.280
Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four three two one, just

30
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:23.680
notice again how the rest of your body feels by

31
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:29.960
doing a rough scan and then going back and focusing

32
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.520
on that part of your body that feels really comfortable.

33
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.280
And remember the Junius recording, We're going to have Vinnie.

34
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.199
Although he's not in the background anymore, he is in

35
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.319
the background behind me chomping on.

36
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:47.960
A treat.

37
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:54.159
So he's as much a part of these recordings as

38
00:03:54.199 --> 00:04:03.000
I am. I guess he shouldn't really be, should he,

39
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:10.360
but he is. He's my co host. If anyone's interested

40
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.240
in how to get hold of a T shirt as

41
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:18.040
beautiful as one I'm wearing now, then just go to

42
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:24.040
the nearest really really cheap close shop. You should find one.

43
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.319
I know it looks really expensive and extravagant on a

44
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:34.079
body like mine, but it's not very expensive at all.

45
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:40.759
So we're going to focus again on that part of

46
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:45.079
your body. And I'm just going to be repeating this,

47
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:50.480
so it's nothing sophisticated, it's nothing really hypnotic about it,

48
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:56.600
other than focusing, you know, wrapping your mind around the

49
00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:02.480
idea of that part of your body body feeling really comfortable.

50
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:08.240
What happens and I'm skipping ahead a little bit, but

51
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:13.199
what tends to happen is the more you focus on

52
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.439
that part of your body and then you move onto

53
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.600
the other part, then you go back to that part

54
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.079
of your body. I'm pointing to my rib for some reason,

55
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.680
it's not my nipple as my rib, and I don't

56
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:28.000
know why, because there's nothing really going on there. And

57
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.079
I think if I was going to focus on the

58
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.439
part of my body that feels really good right now,

59
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.680
it would be my head. It almost feels like it's

60
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:45.560
my brain, my big head. It feels like the probably

61
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.879
the top the scalp top scalp part where I used

62
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:59.519
to have hair. That's the and my eyes as well.

63
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.839
My eyes are closed. I always fine. I don't know

64
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.079
about you. I always find I when I close my

65
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:16.560
eyes generally, it's not just a relief, it's not just

66
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:27.560
a sense of letting go whether it's temporarily just for

67
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.399
a few seconds. I don't mean between each blink, what though,

68
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.680
you could class blink and is closing your eyes because

69
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:41.040
technically it is. That's interesting, though, isn't it, Because then

70
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.800
you could start thinking, well, every time you close your eyes,

71
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:50.079
you become relaxed, not relax in a way of like

72
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:54.839
all floppy. So if you're doing something like driving or

73
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.439
I don't know, climbing a tree, why would you climb

74
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.600
a tree. Maybe you're building a treehouse, maybe you're building

75
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.120
an igloo, not on a tree, but you know you're

76
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:13.360
focusing on something. It's still nice to have that degree

77
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:21.600
of comfort without the tension, without the stress, knowing that

78
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:28.560
every time you blink, you almost that feeling of comfort,

79
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.800
well being maybe we should call the word well being

80
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:43.800
kind of floods through your body, continuously being replenished every

81
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:54.079
time you blink. But anyway, back to the subject, focus

82
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.000
again on that part of your body. And again I'm

83
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.240
pointing some of my ribs for some reason, So I'm

84
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:02.920
going to point my head because that's why I'm feeling it.

85
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:07.279
It does feel nice over my kind of forehead, my eyes.

86
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.560
It's hard to really put my hands over my eyes

87
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:15.600
because I'm wearing goggles for those listening podcasts. I don't

88
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:19.920
mean like swimming goggles or snorkel you know, not got

89
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:25.000
snorkels and flippers on. It's glasses. But I can't really

90
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:28.600
put my hands over my glasses without having to clean

91
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:33.200
them because of the smudges. It's not because my hands

92
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:38.840
are dirty. Look, I'll just clean them. I did my

93
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:51.759
monthly clean earlier, so I miss having hair. And it's

94
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:55.600
not really relevant to the recording. But it's weird because

95
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.480
when I do a podcast, I don't see myself. When

96
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.039
I just do an audio, I don't really notice that

97
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:02.120
I'm bored.

98
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.039
But when I'm.

99
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:12.279
Doing a video, it's prominent. And I a little bit

100
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:14.000
of clean up today, you know. I just had a

101
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:20.360
shower and I trimmed me even grayer in beard and

102
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:23.960
shaved my head, just trimmed my basically trimmed my hair

103
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.159
the same length as my beard. So I'm basically like

104
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:41.679
a tennis ball with handles. It's yeah, what tends to

105
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:45.919
happen though, even though there's distractions, I guess I'm the

106
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:51.200
one making the distractions or causing the distractions. You're the

107
00:09:51.200 --> 00:10:00.960
one causing the pleasure, there's a sense of comfort that

108
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:04.639
the rest of your body starts to take on. It's

109
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:09.200
almost like, by focusing on again, I'm going to my

110
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:12.360
I'm just going to keep going to my ribs because

111
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.039
my ribs are starting to feel nice. Every time I

112
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:19.240
touch my ribs there's a degree of pleasure, which is weird.

113
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:26.559
I don't normally class that as an erogenous zone. But

114
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:35.159
it's feeling more pleasurable, very calm. But I'm also noticing

115
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:43.200
that the rest of my body it's also starting to

116
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:58.960
feel looser. Your body's starting to feel more relaxed, but

117
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:00.600
all the other parts, not just the.

118
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:01.360
Part that.

119
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:08.320
Originally felt calm, loose and maybe had a pleasant feeling,

120
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:19.559
possibly even really nice feeling. When I said the word

121
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:21.840
pleasant feeling, I thought I'd go even higher than that,

122
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:25.120
and I thought, I don't know what's higher than pleasure.

123
00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:30.840
It seemed a bit weird to say ecstasy, because you know,

124
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:36.720
this isn't really that doesn't seem to fit in with recording.

125
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:39.159
If I start talking about it and focus on a

126
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:43.200
part of your body that feels ecstatic, that seems a

127
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:49.519
bit strange, But it's okay to do that as well.

128
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:52.120
Of course, it is up to you, because you are

129
00:11:52.159 --> 00:12:01.480
the boss. You are in control. Sometimes it just seems,

130
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:04.960
you know, when you take a little bit of time out,

131
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:12.200
you move away from that stuff, whatever that stuff is.

132
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:22.919
And by focusing on my voice, my squeaky voice, it

133
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:32.879
may just be a distraction, it may be more. But

134
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:38.240
something happens. And I've been doing this for blinding nineteen

135
00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:41.639
and a half years now, not this recording. It might

136
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:44.039
seem like I've been doing this night, for this recording

137
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:46.879
for nineteen and a half years. It might really feel

138
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:51.600
like it's dragging. But you know, making recordings nineteen over

139
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:58.360
nineteen years. And what I've found over that time, apart

140
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:06.159
from me losing my hair and going gray and looking

141
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:10.840
completely different and no longer being able to trust a

142
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:21.879
fart other than that, I I've noticed that sometimes just

143
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:24.679
by listening to my voice, it never could be anyone's voice,

144
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.120
but you know, I'm the one talking, so I guess

145
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:33.039
my voice at the moment. There's something.

146
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:34.360
Happens.

147
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:38.960
And people have told me this time and time again

148
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:45.320
over as I said, nearly two decades, Wow, I feel old,

149
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:47.840
And now look at myself in the camera and I

150
00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:51.360
feel even older. Lovely, I don't have a complex, honest,

151
00:13:54.320 --> 00:14:01.240
and then your mind slows down. The things that were

152
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:07.360
concerning you before, well, I like to say before before

153
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.000
have just almost disappeared in the mist kind of just

154
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:25.000
even if it's just temporarily just moved away. I'll tell

155
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:30.080
you what. Vinnie's very rude about an hour ago, right,

156
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:38.960
he's walking around the flat going sniffing. So he walks

157
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:44.720
into the living room sniffing around. M the very very

158
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:48.000
confused that he doesn't go And then he went into

159
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:52.200
the bedroom sniffing around. Then he went into the front

160
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.679
near the front door, in the hallway sniffing, pushes a

161
00:14:55.720 --> 00:15:01.519
letter box open from inside what pulls it from so

162
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:03.000
it's quite he can do it easier than me because

163
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:09.440
he's got claws. And he goes in the kitchen and

164
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:12.360
I said, if you need what you're doing. It's constantly

165
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:16.000
making fun of me, so I'm not impressed. Sometimes not

166
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:18.320
always in the mood for it. And I said, what

167
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:22.320
you're doing? He said, I'm just trying to figure something out.

168
00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:28.519
I said, what you're trying to figure out? He said,

169
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:32.879
that horrible smell's gone. I said what He said? That

170
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:36.679
really horrible smell has disappeared, And I can't figure out

171
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:40.919
where it's gone. Then he opens the door, looks in

172
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:46.360
the barthroom and he said, oh, if you had a shower, Daddy,

173
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:56.519
that explains it. And he runs off giggling. Rude, but

174
00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:01.840
he's a good boy. Generally. It's my little Trea, my

175
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.320
little treac call tart. And now when I have some

176
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:08.480
treacle tart and ice cream? Do you ever have treacle

177
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:13.519
tart stick in a microwave? And just technically, I suppose

178
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:16.759
you shouldn't burn it, do it so it's really crispy,

179
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:21.159
and stick some ice cream on. Oh, take it out

180
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:25.679
a tinfoil obviously before you do it, and it tastes

181
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:30.679
so nice. I mean a thing is restaurants don't do

182
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.279
it like that. And you can't take your own microwave in.

183
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:39.000
That's frowned upon. Yeah, especially when you start asking for

184
00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:46.120
an extension lead. So I just give me a bit

185
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:53.399
of a weird visual focus again on that part of

186
00:16:53.440 --> 00:17:04.119
your body. Maybe it's expanded like my waistline. Maybe it's

187
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:10.559
not just in one place anymore. Sometimes that park increases,

188
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:21.759
the pleasure increases and starts to spread, almost like you

189
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:25.279
know one of those what do they call them? Like

190
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:30.519
a sand bank, so it looks almost like an island,

191
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:38.279
and then the tide rises and completely covers that what

192
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:41.440
looked like an island, maybe it was an island, but

193
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:47.319
completely covers it until the tide goes down again. It's

194
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:50.839
a little bit like that. Well it's nothing like that, really,

195
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:55.160
but you know, it's nothing, nothing like an island or sand,

196
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:03.640
but the idea that it spreads so that feeling almost

197
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:12.480
covers your entire body, so that every part of you

198
00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:22.519
feels a sense of that pleasure, a sense of that

199
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:32.079
feeling of comfort and calmness. I'm going to count a

200
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:36.279
gain from ten down to one, and notice how much

201
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:38.079
more relaxed you can feel.

202
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:53.240
Now ten nine eight, seven, six.

203
00:18:55.440 --> 00:19:16.720
Five, four three two one. It's quite peaceful. We've got

204
00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:21.039
birds in the trees outside, and I don't you know,

205
00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:23.880
I don't bother them. They don't like.

206
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:25.880
It, you know.

207
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:29.480
They I've asked them to be.

208
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:30.160
Quiet, but.

209
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:34.720
Put a sign up and everything, but it just makes

210
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.799
no difference. They still they're still doing their thing. And

211
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:42.319
I can't expect the world to stop just because I'm

212
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:52.039
making this life changing recording. But somehow, on my mind,

213
00:19:54.079 --> 00:20:00.599
it's not just slowed down. It's almost stopped, which is

214
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:05.319
weird that I'm still able to talk. I seem to

215
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:10.000
have my mouth seems to be connected to some somewhere else.

216
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:15.440
It's kind of strange. I don't even have to think

217
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:19.480
about what I'm going to say next. It just comes

218
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:26.960
out of my mouth. And I do feel really peaceful,

219
00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:46.799
really really calm. That's nice. And you can just allow

220
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:49.880
that feeling to grow. And you can sit with your

221
00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:54.359
eyes closed if you want what you can open your

222
00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:58.680
eyes whenever you're ready if they are closed, and just

223
00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:03.720
enjoy having that feeling. And maybe when you think of

224
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:11.759
my voice talking, it can give you that sense of

225
00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:21.440
calmness in your body and in your mind. So for now,

226
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:24.920
I'm going to go. Thank you for listening. Remember to

227
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:29.319
be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy,

228
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.160
and be gentle with yourself because you deserve to feel safe.

229
00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:39.200
Lots of love, bye,
