1)Daniel fast: Based on Daniel in the Bible who ate no "royal food" instead choosing to eat fruit vegetables and water, primarily a plant based diet for a period of time.
2) Fast from speaking(meditation). According to Dr. Leon Masters founder of the University of Metaphysics describes meditation as a great way to release negative thoughts and begin to to cultivate positive experiences in life. Meditation is fasting from speech and it is cost effective, has no real time restrictions and the benefits are amazing.You can begin by devoting just a few minutes each day to meditation.
3) Fast from doing certain activities like shopping, excessive spending, sex, alcohol or speech. If you choose to fast from excess spending or eating consider donating the money you would have spent to a charity or food bank in our local area. I received a text that requested individuals to place an article of clothing in a bag each day of Lent and at the end of the forty days give it to an organization that serves those in need.  Make room for prosperity by giving.
4) Fast from negative thoughts. Think POSITIVE! Charles Fillmore of the Unity Movement wrote in the book Keep A True Lent: If we would "lose the bands of wickedness" we must learn to fast from all unworthy thought and feast on the good and the true. To observe Lent according to the spirit rather than the letter we must fast from criticism and condemnation and feast in brotherly love; fast from false beliefs in sickness and weakness and feast on the truth of God's omnipresent, perfect life; fast from false beliefs in lack and limitation and feast on the truth of God's bountiful good will. After the release of any negative thoughts sow positive thoughts of peace and love and prosperity.
5) Fast from social media. This can be a huge one! It is crazy that so many people are addicted to social media according to one source this addiction can be as "habit-forming as cocaine". Is this you? See how long you can go without a visit to Facebook...perhaps you need to fast.  How much time do you spend checking your electronic devices?  Is there a fear you might "miss" something?

Notice any fears and/or anxiety that may arise as you consider the "giving up" of anything.  There is no lack and or limitation anywhere.  Releasing in a great way to achieve rewards in return.

Note to self:  If you were not doing it you cannot fast from it...make it count. ijs

Peace out...

Hypnosis can help you tend the garden of your mind.  By investing the time to slow down and bypassing the constant chatter of the everyday thinking mind, it is possible to reach that state of peace and serenity needed to  move forward.  Once in the relaxed state the real answers come forward and I find it is usually not what you think.  I read in the Huffington Post the mind is bombarded with approx. 50,000 messages a day.  Add to that the thoughts of your wife husband or significant other and that number doubles.  Perhaps you only need to resolve one issue.  If you could just be silent for a few with a good facilitator the answers will flow.  You may find yourself in the flow.  The flow of life. Our Creator, I call God, intended us to be happy and in the flow of peaceful abundance.
If for some reason you are unable to relax and/or meditate, try spiritual hypnosis. Hypnosis can help you achieve that state of inner peace that leads to outer manifestation of desired goals.  For more information call (305) 305-2288 or CLICK HERE to visit my website.

Hypnosis Can Help with New Years Resolutions

Have you started working on your New Year's Resolutions? Have you completed your resolutions already? The ending of each year is usually a time of reflection and while reviewing the past it is easy to say next year I am gonna______, you fill in the blank.  Then before you know it another year has rolled around and the process repeats itself. Year after year. In this time of mass communication it is easy to forget personal goals.  With cell phones, computers, etc. we are inundated with messages.  When is the last time you took a mental break?  Perhaps you are in need of some mental down time.  Hypnosis can help you with a mental detox.  Hypnosis can help you shut it down for awhile and get in tune with your desires.  In one session you can clear your mind and begin to manifest some of those goals you have been putting off for years.  Hypnosis has been used for years by many people to achieve their goals and improve their circumstances. Hypnosis can work for you as well.  CLICK HERE for more information on some things hypnosis can help with, like quitting that smoking habit, losing weight, finally tackling that clutter in the garage and yes, even being nicer to your mother-in-law. 
Try hypnosis it works!
