00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:10.199
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name is

2
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:17.199
Jason Newland. This recording is going to be a squeaky

3
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:23.199
desk for some reason. What's my desk squeaking anyway? Hypnosis

4
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:31.960
for anxiety, the Library of Calm I'm calling it. Please

5
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:38.920
only listen when you can safely close your eyes. There

6
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:47.079
isn't really anything for you to do. And as per usual, Vinny,

7
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:53.240
my little Jack Russell, my little ginger Jack Russell is

8
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:53.880
my co.

9
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.840
Host, and.

10
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:11.480
His injection of sounds in the background include him giving

11
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:18.040
himself a little bit of a bed bath as it were, Finny,

12
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.959
I think that part of you is clean already, doesn't

13
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:32.120
need an hour. I think it's clean, oh dear. So Ideally,

14
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:39.719
I would recommend lying down on a bed or flat

15
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:43.560
surface that supports your body, or sitting in a chair

16
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:45.200
that supports your body.

17
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:46.000
And.

18
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:55.439
Somewhere comfortable, ideally quiet if all possible, that you don't

19
00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:01.439
need silence for this, because I can't guarantee silence on

20
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:07.439
my side, and it might not be silence.

21
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:09.680
Where you are.

22
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.280
You may be lying down on your bed, but there

23
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.680
may be a television in the other room and someone's

24
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:22.360
watching that, or there may be a neighbor with music playing,

25
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:31.000
or traffic going past your house, planes going overhead that

26
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:36.400
does not affect this recording. Does not affect the benefits

27
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:44.400
that you can gain from listening to my very boring voice.

28
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:48.520
And also, this is not sleep, at least it doesn't

29
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:55.879
have to be sleep. You may choose to listen to

30
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:00.879
this at bedtime and just a a oow yourself to

31
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:08.719
drift off into a comfortable, deep, healing sleep. Or you

32
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:14.719
may decide to just listen to the recording with your

33
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:23.560
eyes closed and then afterwards get up and just enjoy

34
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:29.599
the rest of your day. It is completely up to you.

35
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:36.439
You are the boss. So, as I said before, my

36
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:43.400
name is Jason Newland. I mean doing this for nearly

37
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:51.039
twenty years now. I don't mean this particular recording, although

38
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.879
it might seem like it's dragging, But you know, over time,

39
00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:00.240
I've done a lot of recordings, and one of the

40
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:05.080
things that I'm most passionate about helping people with is

41
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:12.919
reducing anxiety and stress. And part of the reason is

42
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:21.639
because of my own experiences with those conditions throughout my life,

43
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:26.560
and also because I've been told by many people over

44
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:31.720
the years that I've actually helped them, So that's one

45
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:37.199
of my passions, as well as chronic pain, relief and

46
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:43.439
relaxation in general, and insomnia or helping.

47
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:44.120
People to sleep.

48
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:53.680
I would say that pretty much all of my recordings

49
00:04:54.079 --> 00:05:00.600
can help with all of those situations. Whether it's let

50
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:10.560
me buoy you to sleep, whether it's a anxiety hypnosis session,

51
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:17.439
it's all relaxing. And that's the very least that you

52
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:22.480
should expect from listening to my voice is that you

53
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:29.160
feel more relaxed at the end of it, at the

54
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:39.160
very least. So I'm going to start and just let

55
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.439
you know that this is your time, or just to

56
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:47.639
remind you this is your time. It's a place.

57
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:49.720
Just for you.

58
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:58.639
Because it's a recording, you can re listen to it

59
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:04.000
as many times as you choose, and each time you

60
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:14.079
do listen, you may notice certain changes occur. You may

61
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:25.040
notice things that you didn't notice before. And it's not

62
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:30.439
just how you feel whilst listening to my boring voice,

63
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:38.560
it's also how you feel afterwards, how you feel the

64
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:44.079
next day, how much more relaxed you start to feel

65
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:53.079
in those situations where perhaps you weren't feeling as relaxed

66
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:59.279
as you'd like to feel. But now move forward, you

67
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:05.560
start to notice that there's a certain sense of calmness,

68
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:16.240
and also the expectation has changed from how it used

69
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:29.519
to be to expecting to feel relaxed. You expect to

70
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:35.319
have a certain calmness spread over your body, your face

71
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:44.759
almost like it's traveling. Peacefulness is traveling through your veins.

72
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:53.360
And as I said before, you don't have to do anything,

73
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.160
nothing at all. You can just let my voice be

74
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:08.000
here in the background, like a I was gonna say,

75
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:19.319
slightly but maybe very boring guide in a museum that

76
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:27.519
you don't really want to visit, but somehow turns out

77
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:32.679
to be exactly the place that you need to be.

78
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:40.320
My voice is just what you needed to hear in

79
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:50.639
this moment. So we're going to start off by just

80
00:08:53.759 --> 00:09:01.879
go through somebody relaxation. And this is going to be

81
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:06.240
might seem a little bit strange some of the things

82
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:09.279
that I'm going to say, but if you've listened to

83
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:17.879
me before, you'll probably not be surprised at that. So

84
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:20.120
I'm going to ask you to do something that you

85
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:26.919
may never have done before. And don't worry, I'm not

86
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:28.639
going to ask you to do an impression of a

87
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:32.360
goat giving birth. I think quite as strange as that.

88
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:41.320
I'd like you to imagine that you are a house. Yep,

89
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:50.559
you heard me right, You as a house, And no

90
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.240
matter how strange it is, just stay with me. It

91
00:09:54.320 --> 00:10:00.399
might make sense in the end, it might not. So

92
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:07.639
your house and your feet are the foundations. Your legs

93
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:17.320
are the solid beams, your chest is the rooms of

94
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:22.919
that house, and your mind.

95
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:25.279
Is the attic.

96
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:39.399
And anxiety is like a noisy neighbor who sometimes knocks

97
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:48.960
on the window, wave in frantically, pointing at nothing in particular,

98
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:12.720
almost pointless. And today we are drawing the curtains closed,

99
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:19.200
and Vinnie's going to have some water while we do that,

100
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:28.080
and while you lock the door gently. I'm sure he

101
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:36.080
doesn't make that much noise normally when he's drinking. He

102
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:44.000
just cleansing his palet, I suppose. And after locking the

103
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:57.840
door gently, you wander through the house room by room,

104
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:09.000
and a gentle tidy, and beginning your feet, the carpet

105
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:25.879
is fluffed, your legs, the walls freshly painted, your stomach

106
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:37.919
a kettle humming peacefully in the kitchen, and your chest,

107
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:50.440
windows open and fresh air drifting in and in the attic.

108
00:12:53.000 --> 00:13:03.840
That over thinking attic. There are boxes labeled worries that

109
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:12.120
being carried down one by one by tiny, ridiculously efficient

110
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:21.440
removal men. They look like they've come from a comedy sketch,

111
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:26.559
like Benny Hill or something like that. And each box

112
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:35.720
is stacked outside and gently carried away, And with every breath,

113
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:52.519
one more box leaves, one more thought filed. And now

114
00:13:53.080 --> 00:14:05.399
imagine a great spiral staircase, wide, endless, curving down into quiet,

115
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:23.960
with each step padded, safe, carpeted, and yeah, covered in

116
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:34.639
something so soft it might as well be clouds. And

117
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:51.480
I'll count down slowly, and as I do, you drift lower, ten, floating,

118
00:14:55.399 --> 00:15:20.960
nine each step, lighter, eight thoughts evaporating like mist. Seven deep,

119
00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:32.120
and the noisy neighbor has gone home, now finally gone

120
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:44.399
to sleep. Six you're half asleep.

121
00:15:45.240 --> 00:16:05.360
Already, five deeper, four.

122
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:48.240
Softer, three nee witless, two still sinking, one and rest.

123
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:13.720
You know that anxiety is like a badly tuned radio

124
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:29.000
static crackle, random burst of advertising jingles he never asked for.

125
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:34.200
And you.

126
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:45.319
Today are the engineer with a very silly tool kit,

127
00:17:54.640 --> 00:18:07.759
a banana wrench, a feather screwdriver, a marshmallow hammer, And

128
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:17.319
with every twist and tap, the static becomes music, then softer,

129
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:33.079
then silent. Or maybe anxiety is like a cat that

130
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:40.880
insists on sitting on the wrong chair. You may say

131
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:47.200
not that one, and Vinnie starts to eat a bone

132
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:53.880
for some reason while I'm talking cheers mate. So you

133
00:18:53.960 --> 00:19:00.000
say to the cat, not that one, and the cat says, yeah,

134
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:09.880
this one. But today the cat is too sleepy to argue.

135
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:17.720
It just curls up in a corner and snores. Or

136
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:23.759
perhaps anxiety is like a man on a ladder shouting

137
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:30.640
about storms that never arrive. But today the ladder folds

138
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:36.119
itself away, and the shouting man shrinks to the size

139
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:43.119
of a toy soldier, then wanders off, muttering, oh okay,

140
00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:47.119
then I'll bother someone else. Well, they can hardly hear

141
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:52.640
him because he's the size of a toy soldier. Now

142
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:59.519
I'd like you to imagine a library, not the normal kind,

143
00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:13.680
because this one is underground, lit by gentle lanterns carved

144
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:22.640
into smooth stone. The shells are filled of books that

145
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:34.039
hum softly like sleeping animals. And each book is a

146
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:42.119
worry that you once carried. And you can open one

147
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:49.440
if you like, and notice how the words and the page, fade, blur,

148
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:58.480
and vanish. The longer you stare, the worry itself dissolves

149
00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:10.400
into nothing, gentle ink missed shelf by shelf, book by book.

150
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:19.279
The library is empty in itself, and in that emptiness

151
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:35.279
there is space. Space for calm, space for laughter, space

152
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:40.400
for the little relief that comes when you realize you've

153
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:44.880
misplaced your worry when you really can't be bothered to

154
00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:56.559
find it. Now, imagine a moment in the future, one

155
00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:03.880
that might once have felt anxious, but instead of tension,

156
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:22.400
you see yourself shrugging, almost bored, breathing slow, maybe even

157
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:35.960
laughing at how small that old feeling seems now as

158
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:57.079
airvery antious signal becomes like a soap bubble floating up. Pop,

159
00:22:58.440 --> 00:23:12.640
and it's gone. No drama, no fight, just soft popping

160
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:36.039
bubbles vanishing, And every time you notice your breath, that

161
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:49.119
same calm returns in a supermarket queue, on the bus,

162
00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:59.160
even in bed at night. Calm is your new default.

163
00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:14.000
Calm is your new standard feeling, and anxiety has become

164
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:29.720
too lazy to keep up. And now you can choose

165
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:37.240
if this is the time for rest, then just let

166
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:43.599
yourself drift into sleep, as if slide in from one

167
00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:52.119
dream into another, or if you need to wake, I

168
