(Sailors call it a keel. Dr. Steve G. Jones says you have one too, and he shows you how to find it with your feet on the floor, one long breath out and nine short words.)
It usually starts with something tiny.
The alarm goes off late and there’s no milk for the coffee. Then, at twenty to nine, a message arrives that says a little less than you hoped. You answer it standing at the kitchen counter, a touch too fast and a touch too sharp, and the moment you press send you wish you hadn’t.
By ten o’clock the whole day has tipped. Small things feel big, the people around you get the short-tempered version of you, and by the evening you’re on the sofa going over all of it and asking yourself what’s wrong with you.
Have you ever had a day where one small thing knocked over everything else?
For a great many thoughtful, capable people, that isn’t a bad day now and then. It’s an ordinary week, with moods that seem to arrive from nowhere and decide how the hours go.
You’ve probably met one. A colleague gets the same curt email you did, frowns for a moment and is laughing at lunch. A friend has the same broken night and the same rushed morning, and somehow the day stays the right way up.
On the face of it, that makes no sense. Their lives are no easier than yours, and plenty of them feel things every bit as deeply as you do.
There’s a reason they come back to level so quickly, and it isn’t what most people would guess.
Steady people weren’t handed a smoother life, and they haven’t trained themselves to smile through everything either. Most of us deal with a rising mood by pushing it down or waiting for it to pass, and while we wait, the mood makes the decisions.
What steady people have works far more like the keel of a boat. On the Balance Mood track, Dr. Steve G. Jones calls it “a calm, steady center deep inside you that is always there.”
The way back to it is a pause we call the Keel Pause, and it takes your feet on the floor, one slow breath with a longer breath out, and nine words said quietly to yourself. It takes about as long as a single breath.
All it takes is a pair of headphones and one quiet listen a day, and the track does the teaching while you’re deeply relaxed.
With daily listening, the track is built to help you:
So we’d like to ask you for one thing. Please read this letter all the way to the end.
You’ll hear how a hypnotherapist who knew more than his share of rough water came to teach a pause like this one, and what happens on the track from the moment you press play.
And at the end you can take the Keel Pause home with you, inside the Balance Mood Complete Edition, three self-hypnosis tracks that work together.
His name is Dr. Steve G. Jones. Today he is a licensed Clinical Hypnotherapist who has practiced hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) since the 1980s.
His start in life was anything but steady. He lost his mother at an early age and grew up with his father, who battled alcohol abuse.
It’s hard to think of a rougher harbor for a young boy to set out from.
Later in life the water got rougher still. Career detours and failed business ventures left him $80,000 in credit card debt, and the About page on his own site doesn’t soften what came next:
“Financial institutions and collection agencies were beating down on his door.”
From Dr. Steve G. Jones’s About page
He was evicted from his own place and moved into his office, and he was about to lose that as well.
Some people get caught in the occasional squall. For a while, Steve’s whole life was the storm.
At that low point, as his About page tells it, something changed:
“He discovered a way to reprogram his mind to attract everything he needed, as well as create systems in place to put his life back on track.”
From Dr. Steve G. Jones’s About page
He used Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques and a specific framework for happiness and success, and that framework became the Dream Life Mastery Program.
Today he manages 22 training certification programs in hypnosis and NLP. He is the President of the American Alliance of Hypnotists and of the American Union of NLP, and he coaches top Hollywood directors, sports stars and CEOs.
The track he made for steadier days doesn’t lecture you about moods. It gives you a pause, and it plants that pause while you’re deeply relaxed, so it’s there when you need it.
Steve’s voice comes first, warm and unhurried. He asks you to get comfortable and close your eyes, and the two of you take three deep breaths together, your shoulders dropping as the air leaves your body.
Then you’re walking along the jetty early on a calm summer morning. The sky is pale blue, the sun is low and warm over the water and the boards are smooth beneath your feet. Small boats rock gently on their moorings, rising and settling, and somewhere far off a seabird calls.
At the end of the jetty a little sailing boat is waiting for you, with soft cushions and a white sail. You step aboard, and it dips a little under your weight before it settles, steady and level, on the calm water.
The rope is untied. As Steve counts down from ten to one, the boat drifts slowly out across the bay, and with every number you relax a little more deeply.
A light breeze comes and goes. Now and then a wave lifts the boat and sets it down again, and every single time, the boat comes back to level.
It comes back because deep beneath the water it carries a strong, heavy keel.
This is the moment the whole track has been gently steering you towards, and Steve says it like this:
“And you notice that you have a keel too, a calm, steady center deep inside you that is always there.”
Dr. Steve G. Jones, on the Balance Mood track
Nobody has to build a keel from scratch. The whole point of the track is that yours is already there, under the waterline, doing its work out of sight, and what you learn is how to come back to it.
We’ll come to what this can change in your days in a moment. First, here is the pause itself, word for word as Steve gives it to you on the track:
“Whenever you feel a mood rising, perhaps irritation, worry or a heavy feeling, you pause. You put your feet flat on the floor, and you feel the ground beneath you, solid and steady.
You take one slow breath in, and an even slower breath out, letting the breath out be longer than the breath in.
And you say quietly to yourself, ‘This is a wave, and I am the keel.’
Then, from that calm, steady place, you choose what to do next.”
Dr. Steve G. Jones, on the Balance Mood track
That is the whole of the Keel Pause, and the first time you read it, it may sound almost too simple to matter.
It’s fair to be skeptical. You could say those nine words a hundred times while you’re calm and still snap at the next curt email, because reading a sentence on a web page changes very little.
What makes the difference is where the pause gets planted. On the track you rehearse it in deep relaxation, out on the calm water. Then Steve asks you to picture a moment that once would have knocked you off balance, perhaps a disappointing message, a rushed morning or a sharp word, and as he falls silent you see yourself noticing the wave early, feeling the floor, breathing out slowly and choosing your next step with a clear head.
When he speaks again, it’s to say, “The wave comes, the wave passes, and you come back to level.”
Near the end, he asks you to choose your first step. When you wake tomorrow, before you reach for your phone, you take one slow breath and ask yourself, “How am I feeling right now?” Then you choose one small thing for the day that will help you feel steady.
That first morning is the bottom rung. Above it, each listen rehearses a ladder of small habits:
Then Steve takes you six months ahead and asks you to notice how much steadier your days feel there, with the ups and downs gentler and calm returning more quickly than before. Finally he takes you a year ahead, and asks you to see yourself at ease, enjoying the good days fully and meeting the harder ones with calm and confidence.
A tipped-over day doesn’t only cost you the bad hours. It also swallows the good ones, because a kind word or a moment of sunshine slides straight past a mind that’s busy going over the last argument.
So the track gives the good moments a habit of their own. Whenever something good happens, Steve says, “a kind word, a warm drink, a moment of sunshine, you pause and let yourself enjoy it for a few slow breaths.” And each evening, before you rest, you think of one thing that went well that day, however small, and let yourself smile about it.
It looks after the people around you too. Each day you reach out to at least one person, with a message, a call or a few kind words, and when a day feels heavy you let someone you trust know how you feel. In Steve’s words, “You share it, and it feels lighter.”
And when a harsh thought about yourself turns up, you place a hand on your heart and speak to yourself the way a good friend would: “This moment is hard, and I’m doing my best.”
All of it begins with a pair of headphones, one quiet listen a day and a keel you had all along.
The quick reactions are the ones that cause the trouble: the snapped reply, the sinking feeling on a grey afternoon, the decision made in a temper. They fire before there’s time to think, which is why advice aimed at the thinking mind so often arrives too late.
Self-hypnosis works on a different level. As Steve’s own site describes it, self-hypnosis “allows us to access the subconscious mind directly and reprogram it” with new beliefs. The way we understand it, that’s why the Keel Pause is rehearsed in deep relaxation and not just read off a card.
On the track Steve adds something about repetition that explains why he asks you to listen every day:
“Every time you notice a mood and steady yourself, your brain forms new neural connections, and those connections grow stronger each time you use them.”
Dr. Steve G. Jones, on the Balance Mood track
As for why so few people are ever taught a pause like this, most of us learn to handle moods by trial and error, from whoever happened to be around us growing up. Steve’s own story is a reminder that a steady center can still be found long after childhood.
He has spent a career teaching it since. At one time, 30,000 students were enrolled in his programs, and he describes his one-to-one work this way: “Over the years, I’ve worked with many clients one on one. Many of whom have gone on to achieve phenomenal success.”
Once the water settles, two more things become possible, and this edition gives you a track for each of them.
The first is a clearer head. On Boost Mental Alertness, Steve takes you to a rock pool at the edge of a cove, just after a wave has stirred it up, and you watch the sand settle until you can see every pebble on the bottom. “Your mind is like that pool,” he tells you, and he teaches a short reset for the moment it clouds over.
The second is a better working day. On Increase Productivity At Work, he takes you into a quiet workshop where a beautiful table stands finished beside the bench, made one part at a time. From there he builds the habit of asking one question before you open your email, “What is the one task that matters most today?”, and giving that task your fresh mind.
If nine words and one long breath out can bring a morning back to level, what could three tracks like these do for the shape of a whole week?
Copied word for word. They describe Steve’s hypnosis work in general, not this edition in particular.
“I just listen and notice the change.”
I have been lucky enough to be able to listen to Steve Jones’ recordings for about 7 or 8 years. I have always believed in hypnosis and have found these recordings to be effective and very useful. I just listen and notice the change.
“open a new door to a new path”
I would highly recommend you and your site to anyone who is fed up with the way things are now, this minute, and want to open a new door to a new path. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
“I’ve been inspired to live out my dreams”
My appreciation for your work and the positive impact it’s made on my life is far more than I’m able to describe here. However, I’ve been inspired to live out my dreams and have actually taken real steps towards its realization in the past few months. Your Fan, Student & Friend.
Balance Mood Complete EditionThree self-hypnosis tracks by Dr. Steve G. Jones for steadier days, a clearer head and a calmer working day
The thing we love most about it is how little it asks. There’s nothing to study and no worksheet to fill in. You put on your headphones, press play and let Steve guide you, and the new habits are rehearsed while you rest.
You don’t have to force yourself to be cheerful, and you don’t have to wait for calmer weather.
Inside are three tracks, each one also sold on its own page at dreamlifetrack.com:
Track 1 of 3
Out on a calm summer bay, Steve shows you the keel beneath your little boat and the steady center inside you. Then he plants the Keel Pause, three quick mood checks a day and the habit of doing one small thing first on a flat afternoon.
Sold on its own for $29.95 · See the Balance Mood page
Track 2 of 3
On a clifftop above the sea, you watch a stirred-up rock pool settle until every pebble shows. Steve turns it into a reset of a few seconds for the moment your head goes cloudy, and one quiet word that brings a drifting mind back.
Sold on its own for $29.95 · See the Boost Mental Alertness page
Track 3 of 3
In a quiet woodworking workshop, one long stroke of the plane at a time, Steve builds the habit of giving your freshest hour to the task that matters most, with messages answered at times you choose and the working day closed with care.
Sold on its own for $29.95 · See the Increase Productivity At Work page
None of this is taught at school. Most of us are left to work out our moods on our own, with nothing better than waiting it out or hoping tomorrow is kinder, and neither of those gives you anything to do at the moment the wave arrives.
That was never a failing of yours. You simply hadn’t been handed the Keel Pause.
Listened to every day, one track at a time, the edition is designed to help you build:
Think about what a tipped-over day really costs. There’s the reply you wish you could take back, the evening lost to going over it, and the work that waited because your head was somewhere else.
Each of these three tracks is sold on its own at dreamlifetrack.com, and bought one at a time, they add up like this:
Balance Mood$29.95
Boost Mental Alertness$29.95
Increase Productivity At Work$29.95
Bought one by one$89.85
Balance Mood Complete Edition$69.95
You keep$19.90
The Complete Edition puts all three into one order, so it costs less than buying them separately: three full tracks for less than the price of two and a half, which works out at $23.32 a track.
Word for word. They speak about Steve’s work in general.
Being someone who is extremely familiar with the power of hypnosis, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Clinical Hypnotherapist Steve G. Jones is among the best in the world.
Dr. Steve G. Jones is without a doubt the best in his field.
WOW! No wonder Steve is the leader in hypnotherapy. How lucky are those who have had the benefit of his genius!

Close This Page And Wait For Calmer Weather(Not recommended)
You can leave things as they are and hope the next rushed morning goes better. Moods will keep rising and falling, as they do for everyone, and the next sharp word will still find you with nothing between the wave and your reply.
Moods rarely stay private, either. The people closest to you live in the weather you bring home, and children in particular tend to learn how to handle a bad morning by watching how the grown-ups around them handle theirs.

Three self-hypnosis audio tracks by Dr. Steve G. Jones, as MP3 downloads: Balance Mood, Boost Mental Alertness and Increase Productivity At Work. The Keel Pause is on Balance Mood; the other two carry the rock pool reset and the one-task morning described above.
Steve guides you into deep relaxation with a few deep breaths and a calm scene, counts you down from ten to one, and then gives you suggestions for the new habits while you rest. Each track ends by counting you back up, wide awake and ready to carry on with your day.
No. These tracks are for the everyday ups and downs most people know, like the irritable morning or the day when one small thing knocks you off balance. If a low or unsettled mood stays with you, or feels too heavy to carry alone, please speak with your doctor or a counselor, which is exactly what the Balance Mood track encourages you to do.
Check with a doctor before using any self-hypnosis track if you have severe or lasting low mood, thoughts of harming yourself or mood swings with very high or reckless spells, or if you live with psychosis, a dissociative or seizure disorder, or a drug or alcohol problem.
Any time you can sit or lie down without being disturbed. All three tracks bring you back wide awake at the end, so a quiet moment in the day or the early evening suits them well. Never play them while driving or in a moving vehicle.
Everyone is different, so nobody can promise you a day. What the track does give you is a first step for tomorrow morning: one slow breath before you reach for your phone, and the question “How am I feeling right now?” Steve suggests staying with one track for 21 days, and the guarantee gives you 30 days to decide.
Yes. Each has its own page at dreamlifetrack.com: Balance Mood, Boost Mental Alertness and Increase Productivity At Work, at $29.95 each. Bought together in this edition, the three cost $69.95 instead of $89.85.
This is a digital file. You'll get the entire program in just five minutes from now. In fact, it could be sooner depending on your internet connection.
The self-hypnosis file is mp3 format which means it can be downloaded to a phone, tablet or computer, or any other device to easily access it instantly.
We have a 30 day money back guarantee. If you decide that the program is not for you within 30 days, then we'll refund every penny, no questions asked.
No problem. It would be great to hear from you. We would love to help you personally if you have any extra questions. Please email us at support@dreamlifeprogram.com. We'll respond as quickly as possible.
When it comes, it will bring its sharp word or its disappointing message, the way rushed mornings always do. Until you’ve learned the Keel Pause, that small thing meets the old reaction, and the day can tip just as it always has.
It can meet something else. Click the button, enter your details on ClickBank’s secure checkout, and the three tracks will be on your phone or computer within minutes. Then find a quiet spot, put on your headphones and drift out across the bay.
If you’ve read this far, some part of this letter has probably felt familiar. Trust that part of you. It already knows what a steadier day would be worth.
With warm wishes from everyone at Dream Life Tracks
P.S. The whole edition rests on nine words: “This is a wave, and I am the keel.” Steve plants them while you’re deeply relaxed, so they’re waiting for you the next time a mood starts to rise. And with the 30-day guarantee, the only thing you risk by trying is a little quiet time.
