Mrs. Judgy-Pants!

When I reflect on what it is that I am protesting, it is my judgment that that person doesn't care about anyone but themselves, in other words, they see separateness. Or, I feel scared when I can not control the behavior of other drivers, or I do not trust.  Ok, now the work begins… Where in my life do I see separateness? And where does that feeling of lack of control live in my body, and/or where in my life do I have resistance to trust ….[ENTER A DEEP DIVE INTO SELF HYPNOSIS]

Abundance and Unity Consciousness

You may have heard me talk about themes or messages from the universe. Well, this week's message has been the idea of becoming rather than calling in the outcome of your desire. It's a subtle shift but I'm finding that it's relevant and profound on many levels. Becoming is an inside job, calling in assumes a degree of separation. Which brings me to another theme over the last month or two; the idea of separation versus union or unity consciousness. So how does this convoluted concept relate to the idea of, say, abundance?

The Hidden Message in Gratitude

Now, I invite you to take a deep dive into gratitude, not just repeating a list of whom you are grateful for or giving thanks for people in your life. I invite you to take a moment to feel gratitude as the energy you are sending. What are you really saying? What is the hidden message of gratitude?

A New Way To Manifest

Many of us are familiar with the concept of manifesting. “The Secret” told us to visualize until we achieved what we wanted in our reality. That didn’t work for many. Then we hear we had to feel it, ok, I can get behind that. After all, the language of the subconscious mind is images and emotions, so if you are feeling it and visualizing it then YES! But, as I meditated on this concept, I realized that this is still a very action-oriented process, even though most of the action is happening in your mind. The amount of force required to manifest in that way is rather exhausting.

Comfort Vs. Enlightenment

What sensei and Pema Chodron seem to be touching on is making friends with suffering, or really unraveling suffering until there is no suffering. Yes, AND. The other side of that coin is, and I believe more prevalent in our society today, the idea of being too comfortable as a block or an obstacle to enlightenment.

Mastering the Subconscious Mind as a Spiritual Practice

It is my personal belief that you will experience, in your reality, that which you resonate with. In other words, my spiritual practice is to manage my thoughts, my emotions, my vibration in order to bring lightness and ease to my life, TAKE BACK MY LIGHT! However, this is easier said than done. At the root of managing my vibration, is digging into my subconscious, limiting belief...

Mastering Responsibilities

When you turn responsibility upside down and tap into your ability to respond, you are not only provided with choice but an opportunity to take back your power, or take back your light as it were. When we reframe responsibility to the ability to respond, we get to choose our response to the feeling of that responsibility.

Manifesting Love

Using hypnosis or hypnotherapy to manifest love is no different than using hypnosis or hypnotherapy to manifest money or health. The process is the same, we investigate subconscious blocks, we practice self hypnosis, and then you “simply” become the energy of that which you desire. So why is it so challenging to attract the right partner?

Wait, did you say simply become the energy of that which you desire? I have to become love?

That doesn’t sound so simple….

Neuroscience and Hypnosis

The practice of self hypnosis starts with the reduction of stress, calming our conscious mind. As we do, we calm our autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is responsible for either the sympathetic response, ie: fight-or-flight response or  parasympathetic, rest and digest response in our bodies. Learning to calm your autonomic nervous system on demand is mind management.
