Meditation allows you to go within your mind. To detach from the real world and to connect with the real you.
Throughout the day, little stresses, worries, and pressures accumulate and build up in the mind and body. We are either stressed about about what has passed, or anxious about what might happen in the future.
With meditation, you can unplug from the outside world and reconnect with yourself.

Your attention and awareness is focused on the present moment. During this meditation, you become aware of what is around you, inside the room and outside the room. You become aware of your internal sensations such as your breathing, your heart beating, or the feelings within your muscles.

Meditation is a journey into the self….an exploration of the YOUniverse.
Think of a meditation as our mind sailing the ocean of our thoughts. Sometime the waves is still other times the waves are violent and turbulent.
In meditation, you learn to keep your mind still and quiet the thoughts that causes conflict and stress within us.
Meditation is a practice. It takes time, it takes patience, and it takes you to a new level of of awareness and understanding.

Here is a simple exercise you can do right now.
Grab a timer set it for three minutes. Close your eyes and just focus on your breath for 3 minutes. When the timer goes of, take note of how you feel!
For a moment, think about how many times you’ve tried to change. Think about the goals you’ve had or the things you’ve wanted for yourself in your life.
Maybe you want to feel better about yourself. Maybe you want to excel at your work or become financially independent. Or maybe you want to learn a new skill, a new language, or a new ability.
You may not think you can accomplish your goals. Maybe you think back at all the times you tried to change in the past. Or maybe your bookshelf is full of self-help books and programs you’ve bought in the past with little or no results.
What if I told you that you have the ability to change, improve, and succeed your goals, dreams, and ambitions? What if I told you could succeed in anything you put your mind to.
The secret to success is buried deep inside your mind.
Try this simple exercise:
Would it be surprising to you that the only thing getting between you and success is your own mind?
Your mind doesn’t like to change. Once you learn how to do something, it becomes habitual.
For example, you might think typing is simple and effortless. You might be able to type without looking at your keyboard. But what would happen if all the letters on your keyboard were re-arranged? How long do you think it would take to unlearn and then relearn they keys?
The same thing applies to our learned behavior and habits. You may want to change or reach a goal, but your mind might sabotage your efforts.
Here’s an example: A person might want to lose weight and feel confident about themselves, but their mind might resist the changes they need to make. If their mind learned that food is a form of emotional comfort, that exercise is hard and painful, or that it feels safe to be overweight, then their mind will sabotage their weight loss efforts.
It doesn’t matter how many self-help books, diet plans, or programs you buy. If your mind doesn’t want to change a habit or behavior, it won’t.
Hypnosis gives you access to your mind. It gives you the ability to remove old habits, negative thoughts, or destructive behaviors. It lets you plant new ideas, suggestions, and attitudes that become the catalyst for positive change and transformation.
Hypnosis makes it easier to unlearn old behaviors and relearn new ways of doing things. Hypnosis puts you in control of your actions, opens the door to unlimited possibilities, and gives you the power to succeed and achieve!
