The Kindling Methodby Dr. Steve G. Jones, Clinical Hypnotherapist
Three self-hypnosis tracks for two people on one sofa and two screens

“Mm. That’s nice.”

your partner says without looking up from their phone, after you tell them the best news you’ve had all month

If you have ever stood in your own living room holding good news that nobody wanted, you know how long the next second lasts.

Something small and cold drops in your chest. Your face goes warm, which is ridiculous, because this is the person you have shared a bed with for years.

You wait a moment in case more is coming. The thumb on the screen keeps scrolling.

When did we turn into flatmates? And when did I stop being interesting?

So you do what so many people do. You say “Never mind,” sit down at the other end of the sofa and pick up your own phone.

There you sit, two people on one sofa with two little blue glows, while the television talks to nobody.

Neither of you says another word until “Night, then.”

The worst part comes when the lights go out.

Lying in the dark, you think about reaching for their hand, or suggesting the two of you do something new on Saturday.

Then the thought arrives: what if they say “Not tonight, I’m shattered”? So you don’t.

They fall asleep within minutes. You scroll back through your photos until you find one from years ago: the two of you on a trip, salt in your hair, laughing so hard at something that the picture is blurred.

You look at it for a long time. You feel lonely in a way that makes no sense with someone breathing right next to you.

The love is still there. You can feel it. It just seems to be buried under bills, school runs and screens, and you have no idea who is supposed to dig first.

Lying there, you decide something has to change.

In a relationship gone quiet, there are three things a person can do

  1. Wait for them to make the effort. Feel silly about being playful after all these years, keep score of who tried last, and let the evenings stay the same.
  2. Complain about it. Start the sentence with “You never…” and watch them defend themselves, which pushes the warmth even further underground.
  3. Go first. Bring fresh curiosity and warm attention to the person you love, make one small warm move yourself, and let the spark between you grow brighter.

The rest of this page is about going first.

Most of the advice for long relationships misses the point.

“Schedule a date night,” say the magazines, so you go to the same restaurant and order the same thing and talk about the same bills. The online lists of ways to “spice things up” make you want to hide. And then there is the shrug: “That’s just what happens after a few years. The honeymoon ends.”

You knew that couldn’t be the whole truth. You have that blurred photo to prove it.

Researchers who study couples found something hopeful

A smiling couple cycling together in the sun

Couples who did new and exciting things together reported less boredom and a better relationship than couples who spent the same time on pleasant, familiar evenings. It was the newness that counted.

In a well-known study of newlyweds, the couples who stayed together turned towards each other’s small bids for attention, a comment, a question, a look, far more often than the couples who later split up.

How a partner responds to good news turned out to matter too. An enthusiastic, interested response went with more satisfaction and closeness day to day.

A couple jumping off a jetty into a lake together

Gratitude said out loud predicted feeling more connected the next day. And couples who laugh together tend to report feeling closer.

Not one of those findings needs a grand gesture. They are all small things that one person can start.

The embers are still warm. They need fresh air and new kindling.

Dr. Steve G. Jones has gathered those small things into

three self-hypnosis tracks of warm, playful habits you rehearse in deep relaxation, 12 of them listed further down

Each habit is tied to a moment you already share: sitting down at the end of the day, a partner showing you something, good news, the urge to wait for them to go first.

Together they work like an owner’s manual for keeping love alive after the honeymoon is a distant memory.

The attention you give, the steadiness you feel, and the courage to go first.

Now picture tomorrow evening

A fire glowing in a cosy living room with two mugs on the table

Same sofa, same tired end of the day. Your partner holds out their phone and says, “Look at this.”

This time you look up, meet their eyes and laugh at the video with them, properly.

A few minutes later you ask a fresh question, one you rehearsed with your eyes closed: “What made you smile today?” And you listen to the answer as if it were the most interesting thing you will hear all week.

Before bed you write the first idea on a list on the fridge. Then you notice yourself waiting for them to make the next move, and you make one yourself, a hand on their shoulder on the way past.

The flutter before that small move doesn’t stop you. And a little voice asks, “Where did THAT come from?”

You will find every piece of that evening on Put the Spark Back, where Steve has you rehearse it with your eyes closed. He puts the whole idea in one sentence:

“And so, from today, you bring fresh curiosity and warm attention to the one you love, and the spark between you grows brighter each day.”

Dr. Steve G. Jones, on the Put the Spark Back track
A breath on the embers, a little kindling, and the flame dances again.

Two fears keep people from going first.

Bringing the curiosity and attention back is the heart of it, and Put the Spark Back covers it fully.

The first fear is quieter. When a partner seems distant, tired or wrapped up in their phone, an old voice can whisper that they have gone off you. Stop Fear of Abandonment helps you feel secure within yourself, remember that people have moods of their own, and ask calmly for what helps you feel close.

The second fear is the one that kept your hand still in the dark: the fear of hearing no. Stop Fear of Rejection gives you a short routine for the moment before you ask, and a kind way to take a no as information about timing instead of a verdict on you.

Fresh air, a steady fire and the nerve to strike the match: together they make what this page calls

The Kindling Methodafter the campfire on the first track, where a breath of fresh air and a little kindling bring the flame back to life

The name stuck because every track adds something small to the fire, whether it is attention, steadiness or a little courage.

Which brings us, at last, to you.

These tracks change what you do, and never tell your partner what to do

These tracks don’t promise that your partner will change, that a relationship will be saved, or that anything will happen by a certain date. Nothing on them tells your partner what to do. They change what you do, and in a long relationship one person changing the way they turn up each evening can change the feel of a whole home.

They are made for a loving relationship that has gone quiet.

If you are in a relationship that is abusive, controlling or unsafe, please contact a specialist service. Turning towards a partner is the wrong advice there, and you deserve real help. And if old hurts stand between you, Steve says on the track that you go out of your way to find a good couples counsellor, as one more way of caring for the love you share.

How listening can put the spark back into your evenings

By rehearsal. Each track opens with deep, comfortable relaxation. On Put the Spark Back you sit by a small campfire in a quiet clearing on a clear, starry night, with the crackle of the wood, an owl somewhere and a mug of hot cocoa, and Steve counts you down as the flames settle into glowing embers.

While you are relaxed, he gives you short, clear suggestions, and then he goes silent so that you can see yourself doing each one with the person you love.

Researchers have a name for the shape of these suggestions, the if-then plan: whenever this happens, I do that. Rehearse the response to “Look at this” often enough on the track, and your eyes start coming up from the screen by themselves.

Listen every day, and the warm response starts to come before the old “Mm” does.

Are you ready to be the one who goes first?

Are you ready to feel steady when they seem far away?

Are you ready to laugh together like the couple in that blurred photo?

Somewhere in you, the answers to those three are already yes.

Dr. Steve G. Jones has practised clinical hypnotherapy and NLP since the 1980s. These tracks bring that experience home, to your sofa.

For a busy couple, the tracks had to manage three things.

  1. It had to be fun! Fresh questions, playful messages, a list of new things on the fridge. Bringing the spark back should feel like play, and on these tracks it does.
  2. It had to start with you! Your partner doesn’t need to listen, agree or do anything at all. Every suggestion is something you can begin on your own, tonight.
  3. It had to survive a busy week! When a tiring week pulls you back into the old routine, you simply smile and begin again with the very next evening.

Here are 12 of the habits you rehearse with The Kindling Method

“The Eyes-Up Answer”

Whenever your partner says something to you, shows you something or reaches out for your attention, you turn towards them, meet their eyes and respond warmly. It sounds tiny, and it is where the spark lives.

From Put the Spark Back
Quick quiz

“The What-Made-You-Smile Question”

You sit down together at the end of the day. What do you talk about? Instead of the bills and the school run, you ask one fresh question, such as “What made you smile today?”, and you really listen to the answer.

From Put the Spark Back

“The Good-News Glow”

Whenever your partner shares good news with you, you light up with them, ask about it and celebrate it, instead of a flat “That’s nice.”

From Put the Spark Back
Warning

“The Turn-Taking List”

Once a week the two of you do something new to both of you, chosen in turns from a list of ideas on the fridge and put in the calendar so it really happens. Your Saturdays may never be the same.

From Put the Spark Back
Side effect

“The Midday Tease”

You laugh together, tease each other kindly, and sometimes send a playful message in the middle of the day. You may catch yourself grinning at your phone in the supermarket queue.

From Put the Spark Back

“The Remember-And-Ask”

Whenever your partner tells you about something coming up, you remember it, and later you ask how it went. Few things say “I’m paying attention” more clearly.

From Put the Spark Back
And so much more…

“The Moods-Of-Their-Own Reminder”

Whenever someone you love seems quiet or tired, you remember that people have moods of their own, so a quiet evening stays a quiet evening and doesn’t become a verdict on you.

From Stop Fear of Abandonment

“The Steady-Light Morning”

Each morning, before you reach for your phone, you take a quiet moment for your steady light and say to yourself, “I am safe, and today is a good day.”

From Stop Fear of Abandonment
Important

“The Asking-Is-How-I-Find-Out Breath”

Whenever the flutter comes before you ask for something, you stand tall, let one easy breath out and say to yourself, “Asking is how I find out.” Then you ask simply, with a warm smile.

From Stop Fear of Rejection

“The That-Was-Brave Credit”

Whenever you hear a no, you take it as information and give yourself credit for asking: “Well done. That was brave.” Then you ask, “What can I learn, and where shall I ask next?”

From Stop Fear of Rejection
There isn’t room here for the one calm sentence that tells your partner what helps you feel close, the old photos you laugh at together, or the small mark you make on the calendar for every ask…

“The Hello-Again Greeting”

Whenever you meet again at the end of the day, you greet your partner with real pleasure, as if you had been looking forward to it all day.

From Put the Spark Back
Only use this if

“The Go-First Move”

you have been keeping score of who tried last. The moment you catch yourself waiting for them, you make one small, warm move of your own, and let them answer whenever and however they choose.

So who is Steve G. Jones?

Dr. Steve G. Jones
Dr. Steve G. Jones

He is a licensed Clinical Hypnotherapist, and you won’t find a “spice it up” list anywhere on these tracks. Steve has practised clinical hypnotherapy and NLP since the 1980s, and he is President of the American Alliance of Hypnotists and the American Union of NLP.

His early life was hard. He lost his mother young and grew up with a father who battled alcohol abuse. Years later, failed business ventures left him $80,000 in credit card debt, with collection agencies at the door, living out of his office after being evicted.

He rebuilt by reprogramming his mind and putting simple systems in place, and that became the Dream Life Mastery Program. Today he manages 22 training certification programs in hypnosis and NLP and coaches top Hollywood directors, sports stars and CEOs.

“effective and very useful”

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.

These comments are about Steve’s hypnosis work in general, not about this edition.

Can you feel that?

A little lift in your chest at the thought of someone laughing at your joke across the kitchen table again.

How much would it be worth to you to look forward to your evenings together again?

How much would it be worth to feel steady when they seem distant, instead of reading it as the beginning of the end?

How much would it be worth to suggest something new without bracing for a no?

And how much would it be worth to take a new photo worth keeping, blurred with laughter?

Most couples simply drift.

Nobody does anything wrong. The evenings fill with screens and the weekends with errands, and one day two kind people realise they have become polite strangers who share a fridge.

Think about that for a moment.

One $69.95 payment, three tracks, and the first evening can be tonight.

Picture a year of evenings like this

You greet each other at the door as if you had been looking forward to it all day, because you have.

The list on the fridge is half crossed off, and the calendar has something new in it most weeks.

A quiet evening is just a quiet evening, and you enjoy your own company until they come and find you.

You ask for what you want, and a no is just a no for tonight.

And you have a new photo on your phone, a bit blurred, because you were both laughing too hard to hold still.

There are two evenings you could have tonight.

  1. Close the page and pick up your phone. Two screens, one sofa, and another “Mm” waiting for the next good news you bring home.
  2. Say yes, and go first. Pick up all three tracks for $69.95 and let the next 30 evenings show you what changes.

The spark comes back with small attention, offered often.

Do you know what a fire needs when it has burned down to embers? A huge new log would smother it. It needs a gentle breath of air and a little kindling.

A long relationship is the same. Small attention, offered often, does far more than a grand gesture once a year.

If it feels as if there is a canyon between your sofa and that blurred, laughing photo, make one small decision tonight.

The kindling is in your hands. Go first.

Yes! Order Now
