00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:09.800
Hello, and welcome to me. My name's Jason Newland. Please
2
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:15.679
only Eliza where you could safely close your eyes. Now
3
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:19.000
I'm going to make a This is going to be
4
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:30.839
a short stress relief relaxation session. Okay, very short, but
5
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:37.359
hopefully useful. Now I'm going to go through the process
6
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:39.960
with you. I do have a little Jack Russell in
7
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:48.079
the background who's very much edging towards wanting to, you know,
8
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:54.600
go out into the sunshine, which I will do when
9
00:00:54.600 --> 00:01:02.320
I finish this, so hopefully you will be fairly quiet.
10
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:12.799
So this this is not really you know, hypnosis, and
11
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:18.799
it's a short session. It's just something you can test
12
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:24.359
for yourself. Our wasp just came in the window and
13
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:28.760
it flew out again. See the wasps around here are
14
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:38.280
very clever. I noticed things about wasps. Right, if you're
15
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.560
not scared of them, I don't bother. They don't see
16
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:48.079
the botherer. It's weird. I've actually been on buses where
17
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.879
you know, in a summer or whatever, and our wasp
18
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.719
has come on and people are screaming, running, jumping around
19
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:02.920
and I'm just sitting there and I've only been stung
20
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:06.000
three or four times, that's all. No, I never it's
21
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:10.280
not never come near me. Can't you see there's a wasp? Like, Yeah,
22
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.759
if it was a crocodile, I'd be the first one
23
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:18.360
out of here. I would eat myself. I would eat
24
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:22.360
through the ceiling to get away from a crocodile. But
25
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:27.639
you know, a wasp, Yeah, I understand it. You know,
26
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:36.759
if there's someone's got an allergy, yeah, fair enough. I
27
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:41.039
did once get stung by wasps not proper inside my
28
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:44.240
ear multiple times. So I had a bit of an
29
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:50.360
issue of wasps for a long time. But I forgave
30
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:55.280
you in the end. Sometimes forgiveness is all you need.
31
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:06.120
So this technique I'm going to do is based kind
32
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:14.639
of on science. Actually it's based on well, i'll go
33
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.560
through it first. Before I go through it, I'll tell
34
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:19.479
you what I'm going to do before we actually do it.
35
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.960
All I'm going to ask you to do. First of all,
36
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.800
notice on what level you are in the stress side
37
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:32.039
of things. Possibly me talking about wasps didn't help, so
38
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:39.120
sorry about that. But if you just focus on your
39
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:42.759
the reason you're listening, that is, focus on why you're listening,
40
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:49.319
Focus on that discomfort that maybe your head, in your
41
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.960
body and your mind, maybe your your mind is racing
42
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.520
a bit too quickly. And this isn't a sleep recording,
43
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:03.879
so ground sounds fine. You don't have to have your
44
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.919
eyes closed, but advised only listen when you can safety
45
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.159
close your eyes. I like to close my eyes because
46
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:20.639
I'm just inherently lazy. I'm going to imagine. I wanting
47
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.600
to ask you to imagine with your feet on the floor,
48
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.360
just sitting. You can do this line down if you want,
49
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.600
but it's better to sit down just because I'm going
50
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:33.839
to ask you to put your hands on your knees,
51
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:44.240
if it's okay to do that, And as you do that,
52
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:52.360
I'm gonna ask you just to imagine your hands starting
53
00:04:52.360 --> 00:05:01.519
to become cold. Now, don't do this if you're in
54
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:08.759
a cold environment. Only do this if you're comfortable and
55
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:13.759
you're either warm or just you know, room temperature. So
56
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:22.879
with your hands resting on your knees, just imagine your
57
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:33.519
hands very slowly it's starting to feel colder. And what
58
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:40.800
this does it stimulates causes stimulation near nerve endings, which
59
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:46.879
apparently activates the vagus nerve. I don't know much about that,
60
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:56.399
but it helps the lower heart rate and trigger calm,
61
00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:08.439
more peacefulness, and it causes Vinita start looking all around
62
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:12.240
the carpet for something to munch on, even when his
63
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.680
food's in the bowl still and he's not touched it.
64
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:28.720
Sometimes just by focusing on your hands, regardless of temperature
65
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:38.199
change in itself, can have a calming effect because you're
66
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.639
it's not so much a distraction, but you could class
67
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:48.800
it is maybe a distraction, maybe mindfulness. You're becoming more
68
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:59.439
aware of how your body feels without that internal dialogue.
69
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.040
Maybe you can hear if any in the background that
70
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:13.199
can be a distraction. This certainly is for me, bless him.
71
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:18.160
I'm just focusing on my hands, on my knees. What
72
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.160
I noticed when I first do it, my shoulders are
73
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:29.519
quite tense. It's almost like I'm, I don't know, like
74
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.360
using my shoulders when I don't need to, using your
75
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:38.040
arms when you don't need to, instead of just letting
76
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:50.560
the hands rest and then she focus on your hands.
77
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:28.600
Maybe you also can start to feel calmer, and maybe
78
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.799
whatever sounds you can hear in the background on my
79
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:45.480
side or your side can actually add to this focus,
80
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:57.440
the focus of being in the moment, being here now,
81
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:06.360
notice in how you feel, noticing what you can hear,
82
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:18.600
if you've got your eyes open, noticing what you can see.
83
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.960
But even with my eyes closed, I can see the
84
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:31.399
inside of my eyelids. It's dark, but it's not fully dark,
85
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:45.840
because there's a light in the room. It's something I
86
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:54.039
always tend to notice, is whenever I get into this
87
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:06.480
sense of calmness, just how quickly you're breathing, naturally starts
88
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:14.960
to slow down and maybe even deeper becomes deeper, but
89
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:22.200
not on purpose. You may not even been noticing your breathing.
90
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:33.120
It's just something that naturally seems to occur in its
91
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:46.039
own time. The airways open up, and as you focus
92
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:53.360
on your hands, maybe you can start to notice that
93
00:10:53.440 --> 00:11:00.679
they're starting to cool down. Perhaps it starts soft, just
94
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:08.159
with the air on the back of your hands feeling
95
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:18.440
more cooler than the rest of your body. Now I've
96
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.519
got a T shirt on, and the back of my
97
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:32.399
hands feel colder than my arms, almost as if you
98
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:46.840
had your hands inside a freezer, or you're holding a
99
00:11:46.879 --> 00:12:07.879
really cold object like a cold can of drink, way
100
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:22.960
even having pack of beans or a pack of vegetables
101
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:34.679
frozen just resting on top of your hands. But instead
102
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:39.320
of that uncomfortable feeling that you'd probably get in that situation.
103
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:49.639
It's a real coolness there. Let's spread through your hands,
104
00:12:53.679 --> 00:13:29.720
and maybe you can see in your knees. I'm noticing
105
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:33.440
that my eyes feel cooler, and my face as well,
106
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:49.399
especially my forehead. Whenever my forehead relaxes, the rest of
107
00:13:49.480 --> 00:14:00.480
my face always relaxes too, I guess in the same
108
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:04.879
same way as certain parts of my body. But when
109
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:13.279
you relax those parts, your entire body tends to follow.
110
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:25.840
Your eyes, your jaw, the back of your neck. Relaxing
111
00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:45.480
your hands or your feet has that domino effect. As
112
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:58.240
your hands continue to cool, maybe you imagine that the
113
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:03.960
dial temperature dial, I suppose you could call it a thermometer,
114
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:18.840
you can actually reduce that temperature manually in your mind.
115
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:46.919
As your hands become even cooler, even colder, spreading that
116
00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:53.200
feeding into your knees, and just notice how that continues
117
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:13.240
to cool down. There's the thermostat is turned down. It's
118
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:15.919
almost as if you can feel it in your brain,
119
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:23.000
that part of your brain responsible for relax in your
120
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:38.320
body completely and slowing down your mind maybe even feels
121
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:56.159
as if that part of your brain is also becoming cold, cold,
122
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:05.839
almost as if you were resting your hands on ice
123
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:28.759
and just continue that feeling. Continue doing this as long
124
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:53.240
as you need so you continue to feel relaxed, continue
125
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:56.720
to calm your mind,
1
00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:09.800
2
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:15.679
3
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:19.000
4
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:30.839
5
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:37.359
6
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:39.960
7
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:48.079
8
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:54.600
9
00:00:54.600 --> 00:01:02.320
10
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:12.799
11
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:18.799
12
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:24.359
13
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:28.760
14
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:38.280
15
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.560
16
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:48.079
17
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.879
18
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.719
19
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:02.920
20
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:06.000

00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:18.360

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:22.360

00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:36.759

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:55.280

00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:32.039
