[@laurajade117]

I have listened to many different guided meditation and other sites to help me because I suffer from insomnia, night terrors and PTSD. I find his calm voice and stories help me sleep throughout the night. Where other sites have only help me sleep for short periods of time. I am now using him in my nighttime regime of ways to sleep in peace. I give him a thumbs up and a 5-star rating.. I am grateful to have found him

Your stories always put me to sleep very quickly. Doesn't matter if it's when I first go to bed, the middle of the night, or an hour before I have to wake up. Thanks for your great work!

[@SoulandAngels]

Pushed myself to change stories as always stick with same ones of yours. Happy I did as enjoyed this too but also fell asleep to your voice. My mind seems conditioned to RELAX when I hear you now - Thank you again! 😘

After my busy day, it’s your voice that brings me down. I can read or watch tv, scroll the net, to try to relax, but as soon as I hear your relaxing, wonderful, tranquil voice, I start to nod off within minutes. Thanks again Dan, I’ve listened to this one a twice this week. They just get better and better! Can’t wait for the one coming on August 15th! Goodnight everyone. 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴

A wonderful story Dan! Thank you for your awesome contributions to all of us!. I would love to see more of your effects versions too in the future. 🙏

[@DanJonesHypnosis]

Yes, it's just finding time to do those with currently doing a video every fortnight over on the mind changers KZbin channel, the weekly livestream on Monday nights and the weekly sleep story on this channel on top of managing my 16 eCourses and writing my books... I like the effects versions and so hope to get more done, but they can easily take a full day (perhaps 15 hours) to make.

I love your sleep story's please continue with more I love mystery s. I'd I have missed them please let me know thank you so much for sharing your time

[@DanJonesHypnosis]

I have continued to post at least one story per week, plus the Patreon exclusives pretty much every week since I turned this channel into a sleep stories channel in September 2019. I stopped posting sleep stories on this channel (although I carried on posting everywhere else and my usual non sleep story content) for about 6 weeks last year while waiting for KZbin to fix the issue of them placing adverts in the middle of my videos despite me having midroll ads turned off. Once KZbin confirmed they had fixed the problem, I continued posting like normal, often posting every Tuesday and bonus stories every Friday. I still post every Tuesday now and stories into Patreon.

[@Samwalton85]

Thank you Dan! Really soothing and peaceful before sleeping.

I like that you use a specific gender in this one. It makes it so much easier for my brain to relax and imagine. Before, when you would use "they" or "them" my brain just couldn't quite accept it for some reason and it made it difficult to fully relax.

[@Juu_424]

How is it possible to get hypnotized when you have ocd, what do I focus on to shun those thoughts

[@SurgeSonar]

Your breathing

[@DanJonesHypnosis]

It would depend specifically on how the OCD is preventing you from engaging with the process. In therapy sessions it is common for the hypnotherapist to use the OCD as the way of hypnotising the client, you have the person talk about an example of the OCD happening and as this is a trance behaviour, the person quickly enters hypnosis while describing it to the hypnotherapist, the same with addictions or other thoughts or behaviours which happen automatically rather than through conscious choice. Because they happen automatically and so are trance behaviours/thoughts, this can be used to quickly have someone become hypnotised in a way that is familiar to them, but obviously, the hypnotherapist is doing this with the intention of guiding the person through a different path, not just having them solely focused on the problem, that is just the way in because that client is familiar with that specific process of entering hypnosis. In most cases you can hypnotise the person just like normal, using touch, movement, guided imagery, external or internal focus on one thing, breathing or matching other rhythms, focusing in more detail on aspects of what the person is saying, so they enter hypnosis because they have to narrow their focus to answer the questions or to think of the answers (this is one of the main approaches I use for example in my sleep meditations, I draw the listeners attention to noticing details so that they get more drawn in to the experience). What I am doing in my sleep meditations and what I would do in therapy sessions where someone has intrusive thoughts, whether these are OCD thoughts or anxiety or worry thoughts etc, is to be encouraging engagement in focusing on other things so that as long as the person is engaging with the process then they start spending less time focusing on the intrusive thoughts, but they aren't trying to spend less time focusing on those thoughts, they aren't trying to push them away etc as this is likely to make it harder to get rid of them, they are just engaging with the process and perhaps occasionally noticing their mind has wandered and they are having those thoughts again and had stopped paying attention, and so can pay attention again to me, and gradually the mind wandering back to the thoughts reduces as they spend longer and longer focusing on responding to what I'm saying, to doing things like thinking about what the sky looks like, what the sea looks like, the sound of a campfire, the feeling of walking, what it looks like to have light dancing through the woods, etc. Obviously, any pre-recorded process can't match what everyone needs. If I am working one-to-one with someone I can do things to tie up their attention like having them talk so that it gets harder to have intrusive thoughts when you are putting so much effort into thinking about the answers to the questions and answering, I can do things like have the person count out-loud backwards from say 500 and if they find this easy, perhaps have them do so in multiples of 3, so that the task is challenging enough that it is very difficult to do this and think obtrusive thoughts etc. It is common that there are some subjects which people are so passionate about that when they talk about them they are so focused on those subjects that they don't have intrusive thoughts, so I can engage the person in a conversation about this topic as a way of hypnotising them. I also ask people to say when the problem doesn't happen, when it doesn't or hasn't happened when they thought it would, to recall times before the problem developed, etc, and look at what is different about those times, all of this talk takes the focus off the pattern/mindset of intrusive thoughts and gives the answers to how to not have the intrusive thoughts. Obviously, if the therapy is focused on treating the OCD, then everything would be focused on achieving this and would include things like identifying where the OCD began - what the OCD is the person's own therapy for, and addressing this, so if it began with a traumatic experience of some kind then detraumatising this so to resolve the OCD, if it was a gradual slide into OCD, or perhaps the OCD developed to meet specific needs, then looking at what needs to happen to address this, and if needed, also detraumatising thoughts of doing things which are currently avoided - like if someone has OCD that they think they have ran someone over during their journey and have amnesia for this and so feel compelled to go back and check, then you can remove the strong emotion from the future memory of not going back and checking and just carrying on with the day, or if the OCD is around cleanliness and lifting a toilet seat is terrifying, then you can remove the strong emotion from the future memory of lifting a toilet seat, so that in the future this is less likely to elicit strong emotion, etc. I also teach people to use implementation intentions, which is a psychological process of creating automatic future behaviours. The person sits calmly and focused on just doing this process (so without distractions) and tells themselves a relevant 'if...then...' sentence. So, it could be 'if intrusive thoughts come to mind, then I will ignore them'. From the research, it seems that they work best when they require the least amount of effort to carry out, so it is better to say 'then I will ignore them' (ignoring is 'not' doing something and so requires no effort, you are telling yourself not to put any effort into paying attention to something) rather than 'then I will focus on something else' (paying attention takes effort and so this makes it much harder to do). I recommend people run through the implementation intention a number of times with their eyes closed just focusing on the process of telling themselves this, then perhaps run through imagining many future situations telling themselves the implementation intention, like when they wake up, before they go to bed, in association with specific daily events, like when just about to drink a drink etc. Then in every day life, set out to initially tell yourself this intention many times a day perhaps making it part of your routine as you just mentally rehearsed, like saying it on waking up, on going to bed, on being about to drink a drink, perhaps on sitting on the toilet, etc. What ever works for the individual so that they can say this perhaps a dozen or more times a day initially and also initially to say it at any times the problem occurs, so any time they notice intrusive thoughts, they use this as a reminder to say the implementation intention to themselves just to reinforce that this is what they want to do instead.

Why is it every story nearly has a forest in it

[@DanJonesHypnosis]

It depends on the story and on what was requested when making the stories. Back when this was made I used to create these stories live here on my channel during weekly sleep story creation sessions. I would ask viewers to suggest ideas (single words or phrases), I would right a list of these words and then create a story from them live on air. It is common that people would suggest woodland or forests or the ocean in sooner sense or another (like rough or calm ocean, beach, underwater at sea, on a boat at sea etc), as well as other things live cat, scroll, explorer, lost city, ruins, etc, and I would then have to create a story from the suggested ideas. I also have to try to make each story last at least 30 minutes, ideally over 45 minutes. The story has to be full of sensory content, relaxing content, often nature, nonthreatening content. It also has to be something not too stimulating (story wise) but engaging attention so that the person has things to focus on which aren't their own thoughts. It has to contain done kind of journey and allow for therapeutic metaphors at least around stress, worry and anxiety, but sometimes, depending on therapeutic requests, other things like weight management, tackling addiction, grieving, OCD etc, and I want to try to be varied with the stories, so stories maybe fantasy, fairytale, romance, adventure etc, first person, third person, males, females, animals etc. I also resonate most with nature and so it is most natural for me to tell nature stories. Also with the length of stories it is common to visit many settings, so it is only natural that woodland or forests would crop up often, along with rivers, lakes, the sea, meadows and mountains, because outside of urbanised areas this makes up most of the locations on the planet. I have playlists by forest, woodland, sea, countryside etc, so if you prefer something like ocean stories you can read the descriptions of the sleep stories in that playlist and find what resonates most with you, or do that with any other list. I've created over 300 stories with settings from old English towns, to space and planets, from mountains and the arctic to British countryside live lavender fields, from woodland and forests to drop under the ocean, from real locations to fantasy locations and periods of history, like ancient Greece or Rome and Egypt...
