🎙️ Episode Summary:
Releasing Tension – Hypnosis Session – Jason Newland – 17th November 2025
(duration: ~30 minutes)

🎙️ Episode Overview In this gentle hypnosis session, Jason guides you through a calm, soothing experience designed to help you release mental and physical tension without pressure, strain, or effort. With Vinny the red Jack Russell quietly pottering in the background, Jason reassures you that this is a safe, ordinary, relaxed space where you don’t need perfect silence, perfect posture, or perfect focus — just a willingness to let go a little and allow comfort to spread. The recording explores how stress and tension are both emotional and physical, and how softening one naturally eases the other. Through conversational hypnotic suggestions and a vivid personal story about a moment of complete release sitting on a coal bunker in Nottingham, Jason invites you into a “safe room” inside yourself — a place where you can’t be judged, don’t have to perform, and can simply rest in the knowledge that you’re a good person who deserves to feel safe and relaxed.

🧠 Main Segments & Themes

1. Setting Expectations & Vinny in the Background
   • Jason opens by welcoming you to JasonNewland.com and clearly reminding you to only listen when it’s safe to close your eyes.
   • He explains Vinny’s presence — how the little red Jack Russell lies quietly until Jason starts talking, then hops off the sofa to chew a bone or drink some water.
   • You’re given a simple choice: if Vinny’s occasional sounds are distracting, you’re free to stop the recording; if not, you can accept him as a comforting part of the session.
   • Jason gently normalises background noise, making it clear this session isn’t about sterile silence or “perfect” conditions, but about feeling safe and supported in a real, lived-in environment.
2. What Tension Really Is – Mind–Body Loop
   • Jason reframes stress and tension as essentially the same uncomfortable experience, both emotional and physical.
   • He talks about the “domino effect”:
     • When your mind calms even a little, your body follows.
     • As your body slows and softens, your thoughts naturally become less busy.
   • You’re reminded there are no prizes for staying uncomfortable — this session is about moving closer to comfort, whether you’re lying down in bed, sitting in a chair, or even on a park bench.
   • He encourages gentle movement if you have chronic pain, clearly stating you’re not a statue and you’re allowed to adjust yourself whenever you need to.
3. Permission to Let Go & The Safe Space with Jason and Vinny
   • Jason emphasises that letting go of tension is a decision, not a complicated technique: you can’t hold on and let go at the same time.
   • He acknowledges that people often cling to tension out of fear, and reassures you that this is a safe space with him and Vinny, where you can choose to ease off a little.
   • The focus is on permission rather than force — you can’t bully yourself into relaxing; you can only allow it.
   • As you notice a relaxed part of your body, he points out how comfort tends to spread naturally from that area into surrounding muscles and throughout your body, without you having to make it happen.
4. The Coal Bunker Moment – A Story of Total Release
   • Jason shares a vivid memory from around 2002: visiting a friend in Nottingham, sitting on top of an old coal bunker on a breezy spring morning while the friend’s dog, Rufus, chewed on a bone and a neighbour mowed the lawn.

“Focus on my voice – Let me bore your pain away #42 – Jason Newland – 22nd October 2025”

🕓 Duration: 34 minutes, 56 seconds

🎙️ Purpose & Tone This episode is part of Jason Newland’s calming “Let Me Bore Your Pain Away” series, designed for relaxation and pain management through focused listening and light hypnosis. The tone is soft, chatty, and intentionally meandering—ideal for soothing the listener into calmness or sleep. Jason explicitly reminds listeners to only engage with this recording when it's safe to close their eyes and if they’ve confirmed the source of their pain with a medical professional.

🧠 Core Concept The main therapeutic idea is focusing intently on Jason’s voice to distract or reduce physical discomfort. Rather than resisting pain or trying to fix it, listeners are invited to be curious about it—exploring it in a focused, non-judgmental way. Jason describes a personal breakthrough from 2004, where instead of resisting knee pain during meditation, he “searched” for the exact location of the discomfort. As he focused more deeply, the sensation vanished—an insight he later tested with other pains and injuries.

🧘‍♂️ Techniques & Ideas Explored

• Focus therapy (an informal term Jason floated): Intense focus on a pain point causes it to shift, dissipate, or become less intense.
• Body scanning: Observing different parts of the body with curiosity and acceptance.
• Counter-intuition as a tool: Trying to stay awake in order to fall asleep; focusing on pain in order to neutralize it.
• Overflow analogy: Mental and physical stress likened to water overflowing from a bath or hose—removing blockages (resistance) allows calm to return.
• Letting the mind “have a lunch break”: Stop giving your brain tasks and let it chill.

🐶 Light-Hearted Tangents & Personal Anecdotes

• Jason’s dog Vinny makes a cameo (as usual), noisily grooming himself and disobeying the “quiet during recording” rule.
• Humorous story about a tall meditation buddy who piled up cushions and toppled over mid-meditation, causing much-needed laughter.
• Jason muses about his body not being made for floor sitting, claiming, “I was born to sit in a chair.”
• A bit of self-deprecating humor: “Apparently I haven’t got the most interesting voice…”

💬 Key Takeaways

• Focusing gently and persistently on your pain without judgment may cause it to shift, lessen, or even disappear.
• Humor, distraction, and personal storytelling are powerful tools for relaxation.
• Letting go of effort and allowing your body and mind to “be” often leads to the calm we try too hard to create.

🧡 Closing Message

Jason signs off with warmth: “Thank you for listening. Be kind to yourself. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to feel safe.”

🧠 Core Concept The main therapeutic idea is focusing intently on Jason’s voice to distract or reduce physical discomfort. Rather than resisting pain or trying to fix it, listeners are invited to be curious about it—exploring it in a focused, non-judgmental way. Jason describes a personal breakthrough from 2004, where instead of resisting knee pain during meditation, he “searched” for the exact location of the discomfort. As he focused more deeply, the sensation vanished—an insight he later tested with other pains and injuries.

🧘‍♂️ Techniques & Ideas Explored

• Focus therapy (an informal term Jason floated): Intense focus on a pain point causes it to shift, dissipate, or become less intense.
• Body scanning: Observing different parts of the body with curiosity and acceptance.
• Counter-intuition as a tool: Trying to stay awake in order to fall asleep; focusing on pain in order to neutralize it.
• Overflow analogy: Mental and physical stress likened to water overflowing from a bath or hose—removing blockages (resistance) allows calm to return.
• Letting the mind “have a lunch break”: Stop giving your brain tasks and let it chill.

🐶 Light-Hearted Tangents & Personal Anecdotes

• Jason’s dog Vinny makes a cameo (as usual), noisily grooming himself and disobeying the “quiet during recording” rule.
• Humorous story about a tall meditation buddy who piled up cushions and toppled over mid-meditation, causing much-needed laughter.
• Jason muses about his body not being made for floor sitting, claiming, “I was born to sit in a chair.”
• A bit of self-deprecating humor: “Apparently I haven’t got the most interesting voice…”

💬 Key Takeaways

• Focusing gently and persistently on your pain without judgment may cause it to shift, lessen, or even disappear.
• Humor, distraction, and personal storytelling are powerful tools for relaxation.
• Letting go of effort and allowing your body and mind to “be” often leads to the calm we try too hard to create.

🧡 Closing Message

Jason signs off with warmth: “Thank you for listening. Be kind to yourself. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to feel safe.”
