Hello, and welcome to jasonneuland dot com. My name's Jason Newland.

2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:16.120
Please only listen when you safely close your eyes and

3
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:20.640
loul Finnie has come to join us. Do you come

4
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:24.320
to join us? Do you come to love a little

5
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:32.079
lie down, little cuddle? Oh he's been asleep in bed

6
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:38.079
for hours. Hey you have? And now you're doing big unions,

7
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:51.399
doing bigons. Okay, so I hope you. I'm doing big

8
00:00:51.479 --> 00:01:00.960
onions myself. So this is going to be a hypnosis

9
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:12.079
recording for grief. And mm hmmm, ah, you being very

10
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:33.319
vocal today, if you are being very vocal unfortunately, And

11
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:37.120
what I've just heard is there is a cat in

12
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:46.200
the garden making a lot of noise, and I hope, well,

13
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.519
the fact that I've heard it, you'd think that Vinnie

14
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.519
would hear it, but his is are pricking up at

15
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:54.920
the moment, so I'm hoping he doesn't because once he really,

16
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.799
you know, locks into that sound, he will be barking.

17
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:14.159
So this is a recording about grief. It's called a

18
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:22.080
place to Remember and Reclaim. So you don't have to

19
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.520
you don't have to do anything, but you don't have

20
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.240
to listen closely to every word I say, in fact,

21
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:40.080
you may even find that as you listen, and Vinnie

22
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.759
is giving me a lot of attention right now for

23
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:52.000
some reason. As you listen, your mind drifts, drifts to

24
00:02:52.080 --> 00:03:08.520
other places, memories and sensation. And that's perfectly okay, because

25
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:19.080
we're not here to force anything. You're just here to

26
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:38.000
let some part of you rest. Just rest now. I

27
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:41.800
think Finny has established that he's going to be making

28
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:46.280
some of his own little background sounds, So I'll tell

29
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.479
you that now in case you want to just turn

30
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.960
the recording off, because he seems to be very much

31
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:59.280
intent on cleaning himself and being part of this recording,

32
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:13.319
don't you. Yes, you do, Yes, you do. I don't

33
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:17.480
know why it beards so gentle. It's because you're on

34
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:27.680
your dinner. Hey, it's nice to just rest. I love

35
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:39.199
closing my eyes and just letting go listening to something calming, peaceful,

36
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:55.959
because sometimes grief feels really heavy. I mean, it's like

37
00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:02.680
something you carry around in your chest m or like

38
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:13.240
a fog that makes the world seem like a plane

39
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:26.480
going past in the background. You can feel like the

40
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:35.120
world feels that it's changed, something's changed in a way

41
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:48.160
that never quite be the same again, and in a

42
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:53.720
way it has changed. The world is changed. Your world

43
00:05:53.759 --> 00:06:03.279
has changed because that person that's lost there has been

44
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:09.759
a part of your life, and now it'll just be memories.

45
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:27.800
So this is your time, a time not to fix anything,

46
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:43.480
not to forget anything, but to explore, explore some possibilities

47
00:06:47.920 --> 00:07:05.439
of remembering and gently reclaiming what's been lost in a

48
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:16.920
new way. Now, if you're not already lying or sitting

49
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:25.920
in a comfortable place, please go ahead and allow yourself

50
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:35.959
to adjust, maybe even sigh out the air from the lungs.

51
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:47.639
I do that quite a lot. Actually, sighing or yawning

52
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:54.839
seems to be quite a nice physical sensation of breathing out.

53
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:11.360
And let your body soften, Let in your shoulders release

54
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:29.959
just a little, all your hands grow heavier, and you

55
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:39.159
might notice the sensation of the surface supporting you. Maybe

56
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:46.960
it's your bed, a chair, And just how little effort

57
00:08:48.679 --> 00:09:05.440
it actually takes to just be here now, in this moment.

58
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:17.039
And I don't know which part of you will begin

59
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:29.919
to relax first, but some part of you knows how

60
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:45.000
to rest because you've done it before many times without

61
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:57.360
even trying. So if your eyes want to blink slower,

62
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:15.720
hm or close. You can allow that to happen whenever

63
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:31.120
it's ready, and there's the outside world fades into the background.

64
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:46.679
I invite you to go inside the pinside, to that

65
00:10:47.000 --> 00:11:14.919
quiet space we're feelings, images and memories can surface, not forced,

66
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:41.159
never rushed. And maybe as you imagine descending a gentle staircase,

67
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:54.039
going down with each step leading you a little th

68
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:15.960
inside yourself, or maybe you'd prefer imagining a soft, winding

69
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:36.240
path through a peaceful forest with birds on somewhere in

70
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:53.759
the distance and filtered lights through the leaves. With each

71
00:12:54.120 --> 00:13:05.679
step you take, the didn't you a little deeper to

72
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:28.360
that place within where change begins? And as you continue long,

73
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:44.679
you may find that you'll breathing deepens almost on its own,

74
00:13:51.000 --> 00:14:01.480
as if your body is saying finally, I can let

75
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:24.759
go now. There's no right way to grieve, because grief

76
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:39.399
is a shape shifter. It can be quiet and aching

77
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:56.320
or loud and missy. He can calm and go like waves,

78
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:18.360
or arrive when you least expect it. And perhaps there's

79
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:25.879
part of you that's been trying to make sense of it,

80
00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:47.159
trying to hold on or let go or both at

81
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:59.840
the same time. That can be so exhausting. Can't it

82
00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:14.000
so tiring? And you don't need to resolve anything right now,

83
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:38.200
You don't even need to feel better. But maybe you

84
00:16:38.360 --> 00:17:00.120
could feel a little more held, a little more understood

85
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:23.400
by yourself, looking after yourself, caring for yourself, supporting yourself.

86
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:43.000
So I'd like to invite you to imagine a quiet,

87
00:17:44.880 --> 00:18:02.720
sacred place, a place only you know about. It could

88
00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:16.359
be a garden, a cottage by a lake, a soft

89
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:28.839
hill with tall grasses, or a small room filled with light,

90
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:49.480
whatever you choose. Wherever you choose, this place is safe,

91
00:18:49.799 --> 00:19:07.279
it's private, it's peaceful, and it's a place where memory

92
00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:24.920
and presence can gently meet. You might even sense a

93
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:39.839
doorway appearing a threshold to this healing place. And as

94
00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:47.240
you cross it, you bring with you everything you need,

95
00:19:53.079 --> 00:20:04.759
everything you're ready to carry, and perhaps some things you're

96
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:12.200
ready to lay down. And maybe in this special place

97
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:18.200
you can invite the memory of the person you've lost,

98
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:28.160
or the essence of them, not to explain and not

99
00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:41.839
to apologize, but just to be. You might feel their

100
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:48.200
presence in a chair across from you, or sense a warmth,

101
00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:57.240
or remember a smile, a laugh, for look, or even

102
00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:05.599
just feeling that they're near, and there's no need to

103
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:14.920
do anything more than that. Just be with them, And

104
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:20.960
there's no need to do anything more than that. Just

105
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:44.599
be with them as long as you like, and if

106
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:50.119
it feels okay to do so. You could imagine having

107
00:21:50.359 --> 00:22:00.440
a conversation from the heart. Maybe you say the words

108
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:06.519
you didn't get to say, or maybe you hear the

109
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:16.200
words you wish that they had said to you, because

110
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:33.799
sometimes in trance we can allow those inner voices to speak,

111
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:47.720
the voices of love, of connection, of peace. And I

112
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:56.359
wonder what they would want for you right now? What

113
00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:05.400
would they hope you carry forward? What parts of them

114
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:19.440
live on in you? Perhaps they left you with more

115
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:27.000
than pain. Maybe they gave you a way of laughing,

116
00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:40.839
or a favorite story, the strength you didn't know you'd need,

117
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:57.759
but now you have, And just for now, just for

118
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:10.960
this moment, you might allow yourself to receive that, because

119
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:20.640
grief is not the end of love. Grief is what

120
00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:30.720
love looks like when it loses its form. But love

121
00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:44.799
doesn't disappear. It changes shape. And you may find that

122
00:24:45.000 --> 00:25:01.000
even now you're already carrying something forward, a legacy, a lesson,

123
00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:18.319
a feeling that you'll return to again and again in dreams,

124
00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:37.960
in quiet mornings, in surprise, in moments of laughter. And

125
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:51.200
that doesn't mean forgetting, It means honoring. And you get

126
00:25:51.279 --> 00:26:00.319
to choose how you get to build a new relationship ship,

127
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:15.119
not with the body, but with the memory, the spirit,

128
00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:28.759
the essence, and some part of you already knows how.

129
00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:41.519
So now, just for a moment, I invite you to imagine,

130
00:26:43.119 --> 00:26:50.480
some time in the future, a day when the sharpest

131
00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:56.519
pain has softened, a day when the sun feels warm

132
00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:05.240
on your skin again, a moment when you find yourself

133
00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:16.400
smiling and it doesn't feel like a betrayal. That day

134
00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:26.279
might not be to day, but it's coming, and maybe

135
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:36.039
you can even imagine what you'll be doing, who you'll

136
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:49.400
be with, and how you'll feel, and how the memory

137
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:59.039
of your loved one is still there, nought as a wound,

138
00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:08.119
but as a thread woven into the tapestry of your

139
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:18.119
life that's not letting go, that's taken them with you.

140
00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:32.559
So as you begin to return, you can bring with

141
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:45.759
you anything that's useful, any feelings of peace or clarity,

142
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:59.319
or simply the knowing that you took this time for yourself.

143
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:10.000
And as you slowly return to the present moment, you

144
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:16.880
may notice the sounds around you, the feeling of the

145
00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:24.640
chair or bed beneath you, and the air on your skin.

146
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:38.279
And in a moment when you're ready, you can begin

147
00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:47.079
to stretch or wiggle your fingers and toes. Bring in

148
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:58.279
back with you whatever matters most, Because something in you

149
00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:09.440
has shifted or maybe softened, and you did that, you

150
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:25.079
allowed it, and now you can rejoin in the world

151
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:33.839
at your own pace. Bring in with you the memory

152
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:49.839
of love and the possibility of peace. Thank you for listening.

153
00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:56.759
Remember to be kind to yourself. You deserved to be

154
00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:10.200
happy and be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe.

155
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:23.039
Lots of Love by
