About this session
- Deepens relaxation
- Builds calm confidence
- Sharpens your focus
- Eases stress
Dr. Steve G. Jones leads you through a beach scene, a slow body relaxation and a countdown from ten as the sun goes down. Then you rehearse a negotiation in your mind: a still stretch of water stands for your calm, a far-off house for your aim, and a well-equipped yacht for your skills.
It suits anyone heading into a salary talk, a client meeting or a tough conversation who wants to arrive composed. The session runs 58 minutes and ends with suggestions for sleep, so it works best in the evening, when you can listen undisturbed and drift off afterwards.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What do the yacht, the water and the house stand for?
Each image has a meaning that Steve spells out. The far-off house is your goal in the negotiation, the yacht is all the skills you have to draw on, and the calm water is your own mind. The yacht moves across without disturbing the water, which is the idea of pursuing what you want while staying calm.
What happens when the boat blocks your path?
Halfway across, another boat sits directly in your way. You signal it to move, but you don't stop or panic. You keep steering toward your goal and keep using your skills as a speaker, an organised thinker and a caring, motivated person. Eventually the boat gives way, and its crew stares at you in awe. It is a rehearsal for staying smooth, respectful and determined when someone gets in the way.
Why does the session count down from ten at sunset?
The countdown links the setting sun to your relaxation. Steve tells you that the lower he counts, the lower the sun goes, and the more deeply you relax. You watch the sky turn orange and pink and the water turn into a mirror. By one, the sun has set and you are ready for the negotiation rehearsal that follows.
What am I supposed to do during the long silent stretches?
Steve says "as I am silent" and gives you a short task to do in your imagination. You let go of stress and old weights, picture changes that would make your life calmer, and see yourself doing an everyday activity in a calm, focused way. You also imagine standing among people with quiet confidence and standing up for yourself when it is justified. The silence is your time to practise.
Why does he talk about forgetting what he said near the end?
He points out how hard it is to recall what was said seven or nine minutes ago, and how little effort that is worth. You are invited to relax and stop trying to remember, and he says you can choose to remember to forget or forget to remember. It lets you stop concentrating and let the suggestions settle in on their own as you drift toward sleep.
Why does it say to listen only at night?
The recording finishes with suggestions to fall into restful sleep and to wake refreshed. Steve asks you to listen only when you are safe and won't be disturbed, and never in a moving vehicle. He also says each listen makes the suggestions of calm, comfortable confidence feel more like part of you.
