Here is the meditation for The Power of Success Through Divine Love Experiment.  If you are not already a member of the group, Please join us!



This guided imagery, meditation, visualization is intended to actively connect individuals to their own power that is innate in each of us. 

If you are looking for success, try this 12 week meditation group.

Perfect Timing for this question for me! 

What is amazing about today is that  the Power of Success through Divine Love Experiment begins again today - All new !   12 weekly meditations, join us in this third experiment as Group 3. 

This group is a 12 week experiment on the Power of Success through an intense focus on the Power of Divine Love. 

The goal of this group experiment is to attain Success in whatever area you choose to focus. 

You will create a list of people or situations you wish to heal with Divine Love. The list is kept private.  The focus is on Success via Divine Love and not the obstacles. As a group, the same day each week a guided imagery will be given.  All the guided meditations are given in audio and are also written if you choose to read them. 

Each meditation is open to allow for your own unique experiences and to allow you to bring forth your true self (also known as your highest self or your soul self) to find answers to the areas on your list where you wish to find success.

You will be asked your opinion on various topics, to give feedback and your experiences with the group.  We also attempt to meet in the dream state the same night of the week the new meditation is given (of course, this is up to each individual and not required to participate).

We could do this on our own, but the power of the group effort has definitely proven to be far greater.  This is a loving, kind, safe group of souls where you can be yourself and we can all help uplift each other.

I invite you all to join in this powerful group experiment!

It began after I read an article by Catherine Ponder titled "Miracle of Love".  You can find out more about how this group came about here.

If you are reading this at a later date, don't let that stop you.  You can jump in at any point, and a new group forms every so often.  By joining the group, you will receive an email for each new 12 session.

Everyone has intuitive abilities.  We are just not taught to use them.  As a matter of fact, for the most part we are taught NOT to use them.  I have found like learning to speak English, without education by good teachers, I would not have developed the ability to speak, read and write the same goes for learning to paint.  And this is the truth for intuition too.  Some are born understanding it and everyone can further their abilities by working with a skilled teacher of intuition.  Intuition comes from the right brain and logic from the left.  Why not develop our abilities in every means possible? 

I use my intuition in conjunction with being a Clinical Hypnotherapist.  I specialize in past life regression therapy.

Recently, my intuitive skills have just taken a HUGE leap in opening up.  So I am still in shock at the accuracy and depth of information I am now receiving. As well as the depth of healing occurring for my clients.

From a counseling perspective, of course our past affects our current state of being.  Those things in our lives that have traumatized us can create deep long lasting responses.  Just as someone who has been abandoned by a loved one, this abandonment will rise up when a similar feeling occurs in the present moment. 

For example, say as a young girl, Lisa's father left her family or died.  This may leave Lisa with a deep fear of abandonment.  This fear and hurt if left unresolved will pop up in very negative ways for Lisa.  Like if a friend calls to cancel a date, these old feelings may make Lisa overreact or become depressed.  So to say the past affects us if left unresolved is accurate and profound.

No matter what your belief in past lives is you can still heal from Past Life Regression Therapy.  Think of it this way.  The sub-conscious mind, also known as your higher self, is always guiding you; whether you choose to listen or not is another issue.  The sub-conscious can use imagination and metaphors to provide you with the answers you need to gather deeper understanding of yourself and your motives.  So you can think of Past Life regression as just imagination.  It doesn't matter.  By going with the imagination and just allowing thoughts and images to flow to you, amazing revelations can occur.  These revelations can have lasting effect on your present and future state of being.

While I personally have always believed in past lives, I use to think there was no use for those memories.  Since working with clients and Past Life Regression, I realize the depth of healing that can occur from these memories.  Just as, quite often the past experiences (this life or others) affect our current, deep healing occurs by acknowledging the past. 

Past life memories can also be thought of as creative imagination, your subconscious's ability to bring up issues and create metaphors for growth and healing.  Just like dreams can be metaphor or other types allowing your subconscious to speak to you. 

Your subconscious is your true self, your highest self, your Soul Self.  You can tap into your subconscious on your own by meditating, praying, listening inwardly, and hypnosis (the deep state of relaxation and focused concentration).  Practice helps.  You can access healing much more quickly with practiced meditation.

I respect all points of view.  For my clients, it doesn't matter if they believe it to be real, what does matter, is that healing and change occurs in this life and moving ahead.  This takes being open to the experience, even if it is viewed as just imagination. 

Don't get caught up on words and semantics, just evaluate from the standpoint am I behaving and feeling different, better, than I was before the session.

 

I came across a lovely story yesterday, thanks to my lovely hubby, Dennis.  We were researching which judges in our area to vote for. 

Dennis found a story on You Tube about this judge that actually touched my heart deeply. 

This is not about who to vote for but a story about Justice Evelyn Stratton.  It is called her Violet Moon Story about her parents who were missionaries. 

Trust me when I say, take a 7 minute break and get inspired by hearing her story!

 

 

Justice Stratton's story is a very good story that exemplifies the Pay It Forward principle.  Another word many use to describe this is Karma; however, many think of karma as if you do something bad it comes back to you, but karma is neutral.  Karma can also be described as "What You Sow, So Shall You Reap."   In other words, what you do, think and project, good or bad, comes back to you.

Unfortunately karma does not always show itself in a logical cause and effect manner.  Sometimes it is years between the action and the effect.  This makes it more difficult for people to learn.  There is good reason for this though. It is part of the reason we come into this world.  It is one of our lessons we wanted to learn.  

It is a gift to realize that what you give to the world, be it in your thoughts, feelings and actions, comes back to you.  Thus, you are ultimately always either uplifting yourself or harming yourself.

I also want to share with you a beautiful group here on Gaia called Power of Success through Divine Love.  If inspirited, please feel free to join us at http://pods.gaia.com/powerofsuccess

Hypnosis is focused concentration. It is a natural state we go in and out of several times a day. Most people are not aware of this true definition of hypnosis. Some examples of natural hypnotic state include:

• Watching a movie and focusing so intensely that you are not distracted by external sensation
• Being at dinner, reaching for the salt and so engrossed in a friend’s story that you stop yourself in mid-reach
• Driving a car and day dreaming
• Reading a good book and not hearing the kids playing in the next room

Another word for theses states of being is trance, and the trance state varies in depth. Hypnosis is a word that has many negative connotations and yet it is a natural and totally safe opportunity to focus inward. A therapist can stimulate the trance state, but only with the individual’s agreement. If you are not in agreement with moving into a trance state, you will not get there. And you will only go as deep as you desire. No one can make you go there.

Alternative Labels for Hypnosis include:
• Guided Imagery
• Guided Meditation
• Deep Relaxation
• Visualization

As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I help clients intensely focus inwardly while deeply relaxing. I believe that there is all you need to help you “be the best you,” within your own subconscious. The therapist can guide you in accessing your own power to heal from within.

Because your consent is the cornerstone of allowing yourself to go to this deep level, your trust in the therapist is extremely important. Without trust, your subconscious will block you from accessing important and often immediate transformational information.

There is a great misconception to hypnosis and that is while in a state of trance, you are unaware of what is going on. This is absolutely not true. Just like when watching an enthralling movie and you block out the phone, or the kids next door you may not consciously be aware of the possible distractions but if the kids came in the room with a bloody lip, you would immediately stop what you are doing. It is the same with being hypnotized. If the hypnotist asks you to do something that is out of alignment with your wishes, you will immediately be fully aware.

Everyone’s subconscious mind has a natural protective ability. For example, another hypnotherapist tells a story of before he became a hypnotherapist, he was going to one and while in the deep trance state, she told him to update his look by shaving his beard and moustache and getting rid of his glasses. He was not in agreement with directive and suddenly was fully alert and told her that that was a wrong thing to do. I could not agree more, it is wrong and unethical to direct clients where it was never their intention to go. Luckily your subconscious protector, sometimes called “the overseer” is always at work.

Another misconception is that you won’t remember. Many times people will say “I wasn’t hypnotized, I remember everything you said.” Unfortunately, there is no signifying bell that goes off telling you “now you are hypnotized.” Most of the session will be remembered.

After a session with my clients, we do a review where I go over my notes of what happened and my assessment. By going over what occurred, most people then recall any missing details.

Hypnosis Helps With
Hypnosis helps with many issues some of which include:

• Stress
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Fears and Phobias
• Sleeplessness
• Grief and Bereavement
• Career Guidance
• Pain
• Relationships


Hypnosis is natural and completely safe. While some results may come in the first session, it may take several sessions depending upon how deep the pain and your ability to open yourself to the process and to the therapist. As long as you are able to trust your Hypnotherapist and your desire is in agreement with your deepest self, you will see results. There is great healing available from within yourself, we all have it. You can access it yourself through meditation a good hypnotherapist is simply a vehicle to open this access to your highest self.

I love the ones that make me laugh!

Like when my little sister who was about 5 at the time, heard we were having company and was very upset because, as she put it, she "didn't want to sit at the little kids' table". 

So my dad who was busy preparing food said, "Oh quit complaining, just go out and get the leaf."  She questioned and he said "Out back; go get the leaf for the table."  She stomped outside, past the patio and shed grabbed a leaf from the tree, came back in and slammed the leaf down and said "I don't know how this is going to help!" 

Of course, the leaf for the dining table was in the shed.  None of us expected her not to understand.  We all started laughing. The power of laughter is so awesome!!!!

I am stepping into a new but long earned and learned business and already having great success and seeing the ways I am to be uplifting to myself and others.

Albany NY today....I am in learning mode, happy hearted and excited about the now and tomorrow!
