“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.”
