Envision a Magnificent 2013!

"We live in a holographic universe. It's nature is unity. We have direct access to the divine. We are connected through compassion."  ~Gregg Braden

The Mayans call it  "The Great Cycle" which is ending after 5,125 years. We are leaving the era of the patriarch, the male, yang, linear and moving towards the era of the matriarch, the female, yin, receptivity.

To move into the new paradigm we need to flush out feelings of polarization and separation. As we leave the world of duality, breaking down the old, we can let go of feeling like victims as we embrace being conscious co-creators.

Open to the call from your Soul to see yourself as Sacred. Honor the interrelatedness.

It is a time to strengthen our hearts and build community.

Turn Your Dreams Into Reality: Learn Hypnotherapy and NLP (and a 6-step exercise to manifest positive change)

Turn Your Dreams Into Reality: Learn Hypnotherapy and NLP

by Rainya Dann, Director of The Institute for Transpersonal Studies

You have the power to start manifesting your dreams today! How do you envision your future? Do you intend to attract the right partner, achieve a great career, ease pain, let go of a habit, overcome a phobia, reach a fitness goal or accomplish better communications in your personal or professional circles? You can begin to achieve any of your dreams by learning some simple hypnosis and neurolinguistic programming (NLP) techniques that will immediately begin to influence your subconscious mind and body. Hypnotherapists, psychologists, nurses, massage practitioners, sports trainers, life coaches and others commonly utilize simple hypnotherapy and NLP techniques to help their clients. You can also do simple exercises yourself to create the life you dream about.

Hypnosis has been associated with the strange and mysterious. Actually, you are in a hypnotic state when you go to sleep or miss a freeway exit because you went into "autopilot." Hypnosis is simply a deeply relaxed state that provides access to your subconscious mind. Even when you are not in a hypnotic state, per se, everything you think about programs your subconscious mind in positive or negative ways. For example, when you say, "I'm so stupid" or "I'll never be able to do this" or "this hurts so much" you are reinforcing negative patterns in your mind and responses in your body. You can positively affect your future by understanding and using this process to create a life that you love. By utilizing some simple relaxation and visualization techniques you can implant new thought patterns into your subconscious mind.

Manifest Positive Change with this 6-Step Exercise:

1. Say to yourself, "I intend to create this goal" rather than "I want this." Mentally, it puts you in the driver's seat.

2. Say what you intend to make happen in a positive way rather than saying what you don't want. The subconscious doesn't understand double negatives. For example, if you say, "I will not eat cookies" your brain imprints "eat cookies."

3. Decide on a specific goal with a completion date. Imagine where, how and who is involved.

4. Ask yourself "what will achieving this goal do for my life?" This allows you to consider the larger intention beyond the goal. Then ask "what does the larger intention give me."

5. Visualize yourself in the future as a "new person" who has achieved the goal. Notice how you move, stand, breath, and interact. Listen to the supportive inner dialogue that the "new you" has. Imagine yourself stepping into that "new you" and becoming that person. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine the "new you" fully enjoying the life they love.

6. Look back at the steps that the "new you" took to create that new life. Acknowledge the steps it takes to accomplish that change. Now come back to the present moment. Decide what your next concrete action will be toward living your new life - and do it with renewed confidence!

MINDFULNESS BREATHING PRACTICE
- WITH THICH NHAT HAHN

I just returned from an inspiring retreat with Thich Nhat Hanh in southern France. He is an 86 year old Vietnamese living Buddha who walks in grace, gentleness and a deep reverence for life. Acknowledging that our busy lives do not afford the time to sit for hours on our cushion in deep contemplation,  he suggests we bring our mindfulness practice into each moment through conscious breathing. Deep diaphragmatic breathing brings us back home to ourselves.

 We spent hours walking mindfully along country roads in southern France with fields of sunflowers, hay stacks and cows grazing. He invited us to  bring our minds back to the present... through the breath... where we are nourished. He gathered the children around him every morning and talked to them (and our inner children) about how to be with anger, the interconnectedness of life and how to discover within the here and now our own innate ability to experience inner peace and happiness. Thich Nhat Hanh has written over 30 books. I recommend one of his new books "Peace Is Every Breath."

I feel blessed to have had this opportunity to be with this Zen master and look forward to sharing with you. 

Rainya Dann, Director, Institute Transpersonal Studies

Here is a mantra to incorporate the practice of mindfulness in every waking moment:

"I breathe in... I dwell deeply in this present moment.
I breathe out... I know this is a wonderful moment."

What is "Breathwork" and Breath Workshops

Breath Workshops are a powerful tool for transformation, healing and reconnection to the true essence of who you are. For thousands of years, mystical traditions of the world have utilized breathing techniques for healing and awakening to higher states of consciousness. The process itself is very simple and pure. A circular, connected, breathing rhythm will take you into self exploration and non-ordinary states of consciousness.

With your "Higher Self" guiding the process, each session is unique to where you are on your life's journey as old wounds, imprints, beliefs and dysfunctional patterns are released. A "transformed you" will experience the mystery of who you are. The breathing process is highly experiential and the healing wisdom will stay with you long after the day's journey.
