How to begin a simple meditation practice

What is meditation?
There are different types of meditation and when attempting to begin a meditation practice you may find yourself overwhelmed over which one really works. Meditation is defined by Webster dictionary as the act or process of spending time in quiet thought. As the popularity of meditation grows that simple definition may have made the process of learning and adapting a practice meditation more complicated for the novice especially anyone leading a busy life with career and kids. While choosing a practice may seem difficult once you begin to meditate you may wonder how you lived without it. There are several things you might want to consider as you consider committing to a meditation practice.

Why meditate?
Why not?  There isn't a a single area in life that won't be positively impacted by going still and listening to the still small voice within.  Give meditation a try for 21 days and experience the results for yourself.  Some consider meditation as the way to listen to God.  If you pray or ask for guidance meditation is the conduit for receiving the answers.



What type of meditation works best?
The best type of meditation is the one you actually do. I spent a year hosting a meditation group and found out many of the people in the group did not meditate regularly. They invested a considerable amount of time,10 days to be exact, learning a specific process of meditation only to leave the training and return to their previous daily routines. Meditation, like anything else requires commitment for results. Some people are comfortable meditating an hour a day and for others that simply is not feasible. Fifteen minutes a day may be all you need to experience the benefits. The benefits of meditation will amplify with the amount of time you spend engaged in the activity of mindfulness. Meditation is an activity that requires shutting out the world and going within.  It can be easy and life changing.

Practical meditation tools
Meditation is a practice and like any practice to achieve a goal it requires time and perhaps patience. Time is probably one of the most important tools needed for meditation and also one of the most feared tools. Time is something people fear they lack the most and the common objection to beginning a meditation practice is "I don't have time". Studies show that meditation actually improves the perception of time. After practicing meditation most people report they feel they have more time. Meditation is best done on a schedule, preferably at the same time everyday in the same place. This is important to consider if you have a spouse, significant other, pets or kids. If possible try to wake up early before everyone else. You stand a better chance of not being disturbed and it can be easier to get into the positive routine first thing in the morning. It may also be a good idea to have a designated space for meditation. The space could be a guest room, closet or out on the balcony as the sun is beginning to rise or someplace not so glamorous like the bathroom. It may seem odd but the bathroom is a great place to unwind. Have you ever heard the expression he/she can't be disturbed...because they are in the bathroom? No argument there! After that statement there is usually no further explanation needed. You might even consider a hanging door sign like the ones used at hotels. Inform everyone at home when the sign is up you are not to be disturbed. Be creative. The most important thing is that you have a designated space and the time scheduled to meditate.

Hypnosis and meditation
Metaphysical or spiritual hypnosis can be a great meditation hack especially for those who find it difficult to shut out the mental chatter.   In just one session you can experience what it feels like to shut out the outer distractions and mental chatter that is predominate in everyday life.  The experience can be a great introduction to establishing your meditation. Choose a practitioner who has a regular meditation practice and can answer any questions you may have and help alleviate any fears by providing support through personal experience. 

Can hypnosis enhance spirituality?

Hypnosis is another door within. Just like yoga, meditation, visualization and guided imagery, hypnosis bypasses the conscious thinking mind to access the subconscious.  Many religions and spiritual schools teach their followers processes similar to hypnosis.  The idea is to go within.   In order to achieve balance in body, mind and spirit,  the use of techniques that are based on relaxation, breathing and suggestion are paramount. Metaphysical hypnosis incorporates all of these techniques and more...
One of the more interesting sessions involved a conservative executive who came to see me for relaxation.  During the session I asked him a few questions when he got into deep relaxation and because he seemed to be uncomfortable.  Evidently he had been engaging a spiritual practice that no one knew about aside from his spouse and a few confidantes.  During his session he got some unexpected answers to some questions he had been seeking.  It took some convincing,  but he finally relaxed and told me what was happening. Seek and ye shall find...

With the guidance of trained facilitator and ordained metaphysical minister Karen Saunders spirituality can be enhanced through metaphysical hypnosis.  The process of metaphysical hypnosis takes you deeper within the subconscious mind.  This is where all the answers are said to be.

Anna Thompson does a great job of guiding you through the spiritual hypnosis process and you can do this in the privacy of your home or office.  For a more personal experience seek a qualified hypnotist who specializes in spirituality.

Past life regression is probably the most popular spiritual hypnosis practice and Dr. Brian Weiss has a CD called Spiritual Progress Through Regression which is very good.  

The process can be likened to a tour of your inner self.  A dive into the ocean of your mind where there are waves of inspiration and the tide is unpredictable.  You never know what you might find however the journey is always helpful.  For more information visit. www.amustardseedhealing.com or call (305) 305-2288.

The Law of Attraction, Relaxing and Removing Blocks with Hypnosis

Do you feel stuck?  Are you offering a negative vibration of something that happened in your past?  Is it possible that negative vibration could be blocking the manifestation of your best life?  The law of attraction is based on the idea of finding a positive thought vibration and holding that vibration until that which you desire manifests.  Sometimes it seems difficult to manifest through the law of attraction because you are not in alignment with the positive vibration, or as Abraham would describe it, you are not in the vortex.  If you are practicing the law of attraction and find it difficult to manifest your desired outcome, don't give up. Try metaphysical hypnosis.

According to the collective consciousness of Abraham it is possible to offer a negative vibration of something that happened twenty years ago. wow. It is also possible to not  even remember what the situation is that happened that cause you to beat the drum of not enough.  As humans it is our  nature to want to know what that situation is, maybe to churn it, analyze it,  perhaps even understand it.  Even though it may not matter when practicing the law of attraction, it certainly will not hurt to uncover past events and move forward esp. if you feel stuck.  A past life regression can help you to recall a situation, clear the emotions and move forward.  If you are using the law of attraction and having difficulty aligning with the positive aspects in your life, hypnosis can help you get out of your head and into alignment with your highest consciousness.

In the book, Think and Grow Rich(1937),  Napoleon Hill suggests meditation with your master mind group. The best master mind group meeting occurs in your own relaxed mind. If you find it hard to meditate and/or difficult to relax and use you imagination, hypnosis can hep you to tap into your inner awareness and plant positive suggestions to help you achieve your goals. Hypnosis is natural, safe and effective. 

Hypnosis as a meditation hack

Hypnosis is a great way to kick start or enhance a meditation practice.  Both are great ways to create balance in your life.  With interest in mindfulness meditation and metaphysics gaining in popularity, among the most prevalent complaints are that people don't feel they have the time to meditate, and also they simply don't know how.  Metaphysical hypnosis is a great hack to meditation.  Metaphysics is a spiritual term meaning to look beyond appearances and hypnosis is a technique which like meditation can  help you go within.  Yoga and meditation techniques focus on the breath and when working with a hypnotist that specializes in spirituality you can learn to meditate easily and effortlessly.

During a typical session my clients are able to overcome any fears they may have about hypnosis in general.  After all there all many myths and misconceptions  about hypnosis.  Hypnosis is no different than falling asleep and then waking up feeling refreshed and renewed.

When was the last time you woke up refresh and renewed ready to start the day? 
A typical session begins with a pre talk to align your goals.  Once I determine you are a good candidate the fun begins.  Hypnosis is safe effective and very relaxing.   You are always in control!  In fact I feel hypnosis is a great way to connect spiritually to the higher power or our creator.  It is said all the answers are within us and metaphysical hypnosis like meditation,  is a great way to tap into your inner awareness.

Some people have forgotten what it feels like to relax!
A major benefit of metaphysical hypnosis is the ability to reacquaint yourself with the feeling and ability to relax.  Once this is achieved with a skilled facilitator it becomes easier to trust your Divine guidance which is also called intuition.    From a state of peaceful relaxation ideas flow and success will follow.  For more on meditation and hypnosis click HERE

Hypnosis can help with hoarding

Are you holding on to many old, outdated things, people, situations and circumstances in your life?  Do you have lots of nice "stuff" but always seem stuck?  Do you want to let go but just can't seem to move forward?  Perhaps you have what is called a hoarding disorder and hypnosis can help with hoarding. The act of hoarding can apply to many things both physical and non physical.  Let's begin by exploring mental aspect which are our thoughts.

What are you thinking?
Everyday the mind is bombarded with literally hundreds if not thousands of thoughts. The more engaged you are in work and/or socially activities the more messages you receive.  And it doesn't stop there, add in television, radio, cell phones, computers and social media communications and the number of messages the brain receives can be quite overwhelming.  If you can begin to think of thoughts as things,  you can also begin to understand why it is important to take the time to disconnect periodically.  Go outside in nature.  Turn off any electronics and breathe deeply, giving your mind and body time to center and relax.   As you begin to clear you can also focus on what you really need and want to manifest.  Meditation is growing in popularity because there is scientific evidence proving that taking the time to disconnect is beneficial to our overall health.  Metaphysical hypnosis is a technique where you work with a facilitator such as myself, to help you align with the best meditation practice for you.  What is the best meditation practice?  The one you do...

For example, begin with a few minutes each day and start right where you are.  Focus on the breath or purchase one of the many guided meditations available by clicking HERE 
The important thing is to make a conscious decision to consistently clear your mind.
One suggestion would be to begin with a denial like the one below.  Metaphysically, denials are used to mentally release old worn out thoughts or beliefs that may be holding you back. In a comfortable position sitting or lying down.  Focus on your breathing which should become nice, deep and even.
Repeat the following releasing denial statement:
I now release any and everything that may be holding me back from my highest good...
Some things may come up.  Allow them to surface.  Resist the urge to engage in the mental chatter. continuing to focus on your breathing which should be nice and deep and even.   Counting may help.
Inhaling 1...2...3...exhaling 1...2...3...

Repeat the release statement again:
I now release any and everything that may be holding me back from my highest good...(pr from success)..
Allow yourself to relax.  Breathing in and out.
This is your time to relax.
It's also a good time to let go..

After awhile, when you feel relaxed and ready, incorporate an affirmation.  Affirmations are statements that reinforce the positive aspects you are now incorporating into your life.  A good affirmation might be the following:
Mind mind is clear and open to receive the manifestation of peace love joy perfect health and prosperity in my life and all is well...

Close with  positive statements like any of the following affirming your desires.
I am healthy..
I am wealthy...
I am wise...
I am happy..
I am love and loved..
I am prosperous...
and so it is

To do:  Make this a daily practice
Schedule time everyday to do this practice or something similar.  In as little as 15 minutes you have set the tempo for a great day.  An easy way to remember is to do it in the morning before or after you brush your teeth or shower.  You can even start the denials and affirmations while still in bed, then just sit in silence for a few moments.  It's a great way to start the day and to begin the process of eliminating mental as well as physical clutter as you build your best life ever.

Deepen your meditation with hypnosis as a tool

When the late great Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. references the mountain top in one of his infamous and eloquent speeches several metaphysically related stories come to mind, some reminiscent of a "mountaintop experience".  The  mountaintop is a metaphor for a higher state of consciousness that can only be reached and accessed via silence or meditation.  It is described as the way within where all the answers are held.  This is that place of peace that surpasses all understanding.

Google Images

Jesus had a mountaintop experience in Mark 9:2-3 of the Bible and it reads, "And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one on earth could bleach them".
It was also on the top of a mountain in the Biblical book of Exodus, that God revealed himself to Moses. When Moses came down from the mountain top, he carried the Ten Commandments. Moses was also on a mountain top when God revealed to him the Promised Land and told him he would not live to see it. Very similar to Dr. Kings' life story. .
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke about his visit to the mountain top at a rally in support of sanitation workers in Memphis Tennessee on April 3, 1963. He was assassinated the next day. Dr. King never got to see the promised land of racial equality and the election of an African American President. Dr. King never got to physically experience his prophecy. Just like the story of Moses, the prophesy was repeated. On January 21, we honor Dr. King with a national holiday. Here is an excerpt from the "mountaintop" speech.
"Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."
The Buddha was also reportedly enlightened on a mountain top according to The Life of Buddha, by A. Ferdinand Herold, tr. by Paul C Blum [1922], at sacred-texts.com Here is a excerpt of that story:
"Finally, he saw himself at the foot of a mountain of filth and excrement; he climbed the mountain; he reached the summit; he descended, and neither the filth nor the excrement had defiled him.He awoke, and from these dreams he knew that the day had come when, having attained supreme knowledge, he would become a Buddha." It clearly states he awoke from these dreams. Dreams are a higher state of consciousness. Meditation is a vehicle to used to attain a higher state of consciousness. The filth and excrement represent the negative thoughts held in mind.  We can all rise above any situation by turning within.  Metaphysical hypnosis can help.

In each of these examples the mountain top metaphysically represents a higher state of consciousness. These are but a few examples and you probably have more. Have you been to the mountaintop? Perhaps you have experienced your own mountaintop story. One of the greatest tools in problem solving is the silence. Albert Einstein said, You cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it. You must learn to see the world anew". Meditation and imagination can create miracles. To achieve their great humanitarian accomplishments, and teach peace,  it was necessary for each of these individuals to look beyond appearances and go within. They had to be that peace. This is the practice of meditation. In order to create a space for the outer expression of abundance or the manifestation of greatness, sometimes called miracles it is necessary to retreat to state of the nothingness. God works through the individual and collective consciousness. Seek first the kingdom and everything shall be added to your life.  The kingdom is within.  Metaphysics, religion, and spirituality, all are vehicles of seeking that higher consciousness.  Metaphysical hypnosis is one vehicle to achieve inner awareness.

Go deep within using metaphysical hypnosis for peace and prosperity

What do you really want?  Is there something missing in your life that would bring you joy?  Are you satisfied with the life you are living or does there always seem to be something missing?  

It is easy to look for happiness in an outer material world.  This is a temporary fix...true happiness only comes from within.  It can be described as that peace that surpasses understanding.  Having experienced this feeling it is hard to look back and stay in/as a lesser state of being.   It is possible to experience this state from external stimulants however this too is only a temporary fix.  This is what leads to alcoholism and addictions. Meditation techniques teach how to access the state of peace and awareness however it must be personally experienced and practiced daily for more permanent benefits.  The state of peace exists in each of us and many people have simple forgotten what it naturally feels like.  It is seems easier to keep looking outside for the next thing and then another thing...it never ends.  Metaphysical hypnosis can help you go within and take your meditation to the next level if needed.

Metaphysical hypnosis is like a spiritual booster shot for meditation...

Metaphysical hypnosis is a deep state of relaxation facilitated by a trained metaphysical hypnosis practitioner who can guide to you the awakening of your inner self.  This is where the sub conscious and conscious mind aligns with the super consciousness often referred to as God mind. I have witnessed folks who meditate daily experience the benefits of metaphysical hypnosis.  It is written where two or more are gathered the higher power shifts into action.  With metaphysical hypnosis there are two physical beings consciously involved as well as the two states of lesser consciousness which can be powerful for creative manifesting.  True peace and abundance can be experienced through deliberate silent practice.  Unfortunately many feel they simply do not have the time to just sit around and “do nothing”.  That is too bad, for in a short span of practicing intentional nothingness a wealth of benefits and infinite possibilities can emerge. 

I have sat with folks in workshops and classes who have meditated for years and asked them why they practice meditation and surprisingly many of them could not express why, yet they did recognize if they did not sit there seemed to be a different flow of energy during the day.  And it really is all about the energy...

Everything in this vast universe is made of energy.  It is a law of physics that while energy cannot be created or destroyed it can be changed.  By sitting in meditation in the space of nothingness negative energy can dissipate and positive energy can flow manifesting creative ideas.  Humans are the only species said to be born with intelligence and all that everyday thinking may cloud the manifestation of a great idea.  By sitting in silence thoughts are cleared and positive ideas flow.  Metaphysical hypnosis is a technique designed to facilitate a space for creative mental manifestation.     Ideas are what create abundance and prosperity.  Ideas are the answers to our prayers. 

Energy exists in abundance and we have the power to shape and shift energy to create our desired outcomes.  Through the power of creative visualizing or metaphysical hypnosis and going within oneself it is possible to shape shift energy into a positive outcome.

Walt Disney once said "The more you are like yourself, the less you are like anyone else which makes you unique. The problem with most people is that they spend their lives trying to emulate others and so we have lots of copies but few originals."

The time and energy it takes to emulate someone else is much better spent getting to know your true self.  By knowing what you like and don't like you can begin to manifest more of what brings you happiness. Hypnosis can help you tap into the endless reservoir of abundance within.   Let go and let God! For more info and a free phone consultation call (305) 305-2288 or visit www.amustardseedhealing.com

5 alternative ways to fast for Lent

If the thought of going without food sends waves of chills through your body consider some other options to soothe your mind and spirit. We are in the middle of the Lenten season and if you are spiritual(or not) fasting is great way to manifest some good in your life.  Here are five  ways to fast that are different and can clear the way to more abundance.  Take a deep breath and let go!
                                                                                                         photo from Goggle images

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 and affirmations: The dynamic duo for manifestation

When I first heard about the power of affirmations I was so excited!  I had heard the concept before...as a matter of fact a theme repeated often during my younger years was "what your mind can conceive you can achieve."  What a concept! If there was something desired by simply thinking about it...it could manifest?  I was ready to ride this rodeo of positive affirmations and wonderful manifestations of good.  But not so fast cowgirl...there was something missing...I grew up in what was considered a not so great part of town and I was considered a "minority".  Minor is not a way to describe success filled dreams.  I was not so thin and not so perfect. There were literally thousands of reasons why this concept would not work.  Intellectually it didn't seem possible. The odds seemed to be against me as well as several people.  I persisted anyway.  Oftentimes failing miserably in my ignorance to succeed.
Thank the universe that ignorance can be considered bliss;)  core word IGNORE!!!

Success sometimes  includes over indulgences like working too much, drinking and eating too much and thinking waaaay too much.  Life also comes with comparisons, analyzing and a whole lot of judgement.  While I continued affirming that I could be and do anything imaginable there were many folks who disagreed with me(some of them very close to me sighs).  I was unaware that a part of me agreed with them as well(sad face).  Who was I to think I could be great?  Who was I to succeed? Marianne Williamson said our deepest fear wasn't failure, our deepest fear was being powerful beyond measure. As a children of the Universe we are designed to be happy.  God wants us HAPPY!

Fears are often hidden beneath a veil of perceived confidence.  There are folks that walk around affirming how great their life is, but upon further introspection they may be miserable..Is this you??
Say it isn't so!!!
By releasing the past we are free to embrace the present.  Its a gift...freedom is a wonderful feeling!
Hypnosis can help you get to the core of fear.  Some folks think a past life regression is some far out phenomenon in woo woo land.  Actually I define a past life experience as any moment that is not in the present.  We can never get this moment back so it's all in the past.  Often something in this lifetime in the not so distant past(like childhood memories) created the very fear that is holding you back.  In an effort to  protect you, the mind has buried the actual fear or roadblock to success in the subconscious...you just forgot and can't remember.  Hypnosis can help you remember.....so you can consciously forget...forget being afraid.  Forget about the naysayers.  Remember how great you were created.  Remember to live.  Remember to just be happy.
Affirm what is good and release what no longer serves you....combine hypnosis and affirmations to enhance your goals.  The two together form a dynamic duo reaching deep within to manifest outward.
Relax and repeat...I am prosperous  I am healthy  I am at peace I am love and loved  I have everything I need and all is well...

Learn to meditate faster and easier with metaphysical hypnosis

Meditation has been proven to help a wide range of mental and physical issues.  But what happens when you find it difficult to meditate?  Try metaphysical hypnosis.  There are skeptics to the effectiveness of hypnosis and this may be attributed to the many myths and misconceptions that exist historically.  The benefits of hypnosis far outweigh any myths and they are just that, a myth.  For ages holistic self empowerment methods and techniques have taken a back seat to fears and myths.  Many have succeeded in overcoming issues by seeking alternative healing methods like hypnosis and meditation.  Hypnosis is a viable and proven technique for the manifestation of positive outcomes.  Metaphysical hypnosis sets the stage for the participant to look deeper into their life experiences by bypassing the conscious thinking mind, tapping into a  spiritual awareness, and releasing fears of the unknown.  Metaphysical hypnosis opens the door to an inner awareness thereby accessing a space of peace and connection to a higher power some identify as God.  Metaphysics means to look beyond what is literal, physical and material.  Spiritually the ability to look within is where all the answers are.  We have everything we need.  It is written that the ego speaks first and the ego speaks loudest.   In the space of silence, the mind has the ability to create positive changes through suggestion bypassing the limiting conscious mind.  There are many techniques of meditation.  Transcendental Meditation(TM)  is described on its website as an evidence based  technique for peace and wellness.  The TM practice involves sitting quietly with eyes closed for 20 minutes twice a day preferably morning and evening.  The cost for TM classes is around $1500.00   At the other end of the meditation spectrum is Vipassana meditation which requires participating in a ten day discourse on Dhamma.  That course is free however it requires the student to commit silence for the entire ten days at one of the Art of Living facilities around the World.   According to the website at http://www.dhamma.org the technique is taught at ten-day residential courses during which participants follow a prescribed Code of Discipline, learn the basics of the method, and practice sufficiently to experience its beneficial results.  I personally attended one of those discourses and it was one of the most difficult practices I have done.  The setting was in Darlington, Maryland and it was predicted to be below freezing.  A received a call from one of the teachers about the weather concerns with an offer to reschedule. Having already rearranged my schedule to be off for ten days and having confirmed my travel plans I decided to go forward and attend.  The setting was a temporary Vipassana facility located on campgrounds that reminded me setting of the movie Dirty Dancing.   All electronic devices were collected as well as any reading or writing materials by the Vipassana staff and stored until the end of the course.  On day eight of the discourse the teacher spoke of suffering.  Was I the only one that heard him?  Was I the only one suffering?  Actually half the participants had already left on my last unofficial count.  It was freezing and the taped windows and unsecured doors made sleep a challenge.  I was suffering and decided to take a walk beyond the confines of the taped off area of the course restrictions.  That walk was a metaphor  for everything I had been taught in that discourse, any meditation training and for life.  Non-attachment.  It was 4am cold and very dark.  For a city girl as myself it might be considered frightening,  but for some reason I was called to venture into the woods.  I walked awhile and encountered a winding creek with moss hanging form huge trees.  At the base of the creek were two solar lights.  Enlightenment.  I smiled from within and decided this was a good place to have my meditation that morning.   After an enlightening walk up the mountain on the way back I experienced what meditation was teaching, every moment life is changing and what I perceived the change to be, good or bad was what I experienced.  Liberation from any type of confinement is an awakening. Attachment to any outcome can instigate suffering.  Why suffer?
I sit in meditation most days after that experience There is always a choice.  Most choices are made unaware of previous life experiences.   Meditation creates a space for detachment and observation and most importantly spiritual growth.  Meditation creates awareness and awareness begets an awakening. There are many methods of meditation. Meditation is a practice, find one that works for you and practice.  Just as there are many leaves on a tree there are many ways to practice the silence.  The meditation that is best is the meditation that you practice consistently...

What happens when you are not able to quiet the mind chatter?  Many of my clients express they simply cannot meditate.  I am able to help the majority of them feel what it is like to meditate with the use of metaphysical hypnosis.  It is a type of deep guided meditation which relaxes the body and mind.  The process is safe,  very effective and includes a period of serenity and silence many people have trouble achieving or recognizing as their own.  They have simply forgotten.  Some folks think hypnosis will put them to sleep.  I recognize hypnosis as a point of awakening.  Many people are sleep walking in a daze of doing the same thing.  Perhaps you are stuck.  This is where a trained facilitator can help.  Learn to quiet the mind and awaken to the infinite possibilities.  Hypnosis is a tool that is beneficial.  After a discussion about what possible roadblocks or fears that may be involved, the client is taken thorough a relaxation process which reorients them to the sensation of relaxation.  There are a myriad of reasons why a person may feel they can't meditate.  I have helped clients that feel silence represents punishment for them.  The old adage children are to be seen and not heard may have been ingrained into their mind  by well meaning parents.  The suppressed need to be heard carried over into adulthood and the punishment that silence represented prevents a successful meditation practice .
Many clients express that silence evokes some type of emotional response and they may feel restricted in the process. There was a client I was working with who was unable to sit still and remain silent for even a few seconds or so before she became very agitated.  Just the thought of being silent caused her stress.  After a few sessions her defenses were removed and she was able to remember what it felt like to relax her body and also release the monkey chatter in her mind.  This recall of relaxation was the catalyst to her being able to open up her heart space and really let go.   A self described spiritual person, she harbored some guilty feelings from the past.  Each time she attempted to meditate those feelings, the stories of guilt would surface.  Each past "story" seemed to deepen her agitation to the point where it was all she could think about.  Hypnosis restored her faith in the universe through relaxation techniques.  I always provide follow up self hypnosis exercises and some simple techniques that enhance the experience and can be done almost anywhere without anyone  knowing.  This reinforces the sensation of relaxation.
Once the body and mind are aligned in a state of relaxation the client is able to experience what meditation is like.  Most clients are able to experience the benefits of this type of relaxation in just one session.  I like to refer to hypnosis as meditation on steroids without any drugs, of course.  Some describe it as a natural high.  It is that feeling of deep relaxation many folks have simply forgotten in the quest for material gains sometimes referred to as success.  Real success is a state of mind. 
So if you would like to meditate and can't seem to tune out the mental chatter, try hypnosis.  For more information CLICK HERE

One idea can change your life for the better...forever!

Ideas are what dreams are made of and metaphysical hypnosis can help you tap into an inner wisdom that could change your life.  Everyday we are bombarded with many messages from different sources.  Social media and the media in general has expanded our knowledge base.  This is a good thing...or not?  Many people come to me  because they are bombarded with so many messages it has become overwhelming.  How do you decipher that still small voice?

Let's face it.  Life can be overwhelming.  It can be difficult to sort through all the messages to get to what really matters.  What really matters comes from within...not from the external stimuli and distractions.   Metaphysical hypnosis can help you sift through or in some instances eliminate the mental clutter long enough so you can begin to enjoy life more.  From this space of peace and relaxation it is possible to bring forth ideas and manifest from the infinite possibilities of the subconscious mind.  There have been some simple ideas that have made millions of dollars...like the post it note and Spanx which are ever popular and oft needed;)  The Snuggie is a blanket that sells for around $15.99 and sold over 30 million units.  simple idea. millions of dollars in revenue.
One simple idea can change your life for the better.  It doesn't have to be a million dollar idea either.  Authors and actors use hypnosis to help develop their art.  Winning athletes use hypnosis for focus and concentration.Maybe you just need a simple idea to relax and enjoy what you have! Great start..

Metaphysical hypnosis creates a space to look beyond the activity of the conscious thinking mind.  During a session the body is relaxed but the mind is alert and  hears everything that is said.  I have had clients describe it as a deep feeling of peace and serenity.  Often I'm told they could not remember feeling so relaxed.

Have you  forgotten what it feels like to relax?  Many people are remembering what it feels like to relax with techniques like yoga and meditation.  Hypnosis is another holistic alternative that is relaxing and with a trained facilitator can help you clear you mind and create a space for manifestation.  Call (305) 305-2288 or visit www.amustardseedhealing.com for more information and mention this post and receive one hypnosis session  for only $90.00

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.
