Meditation is not only a hippie trend anymore, with more and more people becoming interested in it. In recent years, potential benefits such as relief from stress, depression and anxiety have been well established scientifically.

But have you ever tried to concentrate on your breathing, on the visualisation of a white spot, or just on trying to let your thoughts go without any success? What about keeping a jumpy leg calm or keeping your posture straight while meditating? For many, meditation remains a real challenge.

Technology seems to be impregnating even these most intimate areas of our minds.

An array of apps claims to be able to help you to achieve a state of mind that will bring you all the benefits related to mediation. Here are some of the most popular apps out there at this time.

Some of the most comprehensive apps include a wide selection of tools. Sattva for example includes timers, heart monitors and goal trackers. Calm provides music, natural scenes and guided meditation sessions. Headspace offers 10-minute meditation sessions, animations and instructions to assist in the process.

The Mindfulness App offers guided meditation sessions that can span from 3 to 30 minutes and reminders to meditate. Omvana can help you to customise each meditation with background sounds and narrated instructions. Some short guided meditations are included in Take a Break, Relaxation, and Pocket Retreat, all of which are iPhone apps.

Some other meditation apps are simpler and are used as tools for specific states of mind or transitions. An example that could help us to “be in the present” is the 7 Second Meditation app. Relax Lite might help us to relax in a short time; Pranayama and Zazen are both designed to improve our deep breathing and Silva Relax claims to help us focus.

These apps promise solutions when it seems to be tricky to calm our minds or bodies down. Personally I think they are a good idea and probably fairly useful. Nonetheless, it really seems paradoxical to resort to a machine in order to work on something the root of which requires that we work internally. Monks certainly do not need apps to meditate, they learn by practicing patiently and learning how to control their bodies and minds. Part of the benefit of the process comes from that very practice.

Third Eye Meditation
$70 USD
mentorship session
Third Eye Meditation Practice

During our online meeting, I will guide you through a meditation session for you to have a Third Eye perception experience. You do not need to know how to meditate prior to this session. You do not need to have any special gifts or abilities. Everyone has the potential ability to experience a non-3D experience.

I will use my shamanic practices to help you enter that state, where you can perceive with your Third Eye. I will be doing some blessing and energy work in the background to help you perceive with your Third Eye.

All you need is a desire to experience Third Eye perception and to have questions. Questions towards yourself, towards anybody and anything, and regarding whatever you are curious about.

Once you have had your Third Eye perception experience, it will be easier to continue developing it on your own.

It is my intention to leave you with a personalized set of tools for you to be able to continue to practice and develop your Third Eye perception on your own after our session.

I recommend having at least one question ready for our meditation session. It could be something you wanted to ask from your higher self/your soul, your guides, or just to get more information on a particular topic of your interest.

Developing my Third Eye perception has been one of the most exciting things in my life. I want to share this ability with you so that you too can start your amazing Third Eye journey of this lifetime.

Remember, the experience you seek is also seeking you!

  • Please make an appointment with me at least one day in advance. Thank you.

[Discounted] 1-on-1 Coaching: Experience The Enlightened Self

During this 60 minute 1-on-1 coaching session, you are paying for my undivided attention, not the onset of Enlightenment, which is freely available on my website via a prerecorded audio instructional.

My recommendation is to experience the proof of a truly Enlightening Experience of Freedom, first; then book direct coaching, should you feel the need for an in depth and personalized clarification as to how this experience can be embodied in every moment of your waking life.

Otherwise, leave a review and continue to practice it daily, before getting too involved in the day.

The result of sufficient understanding, which can happen intuitively with patient self-inquire, or rapidly with direct coaching is the ongoing experience of peace, love and joy; plus the removal of all doubt & sorrow as you progress through your own sanctification unto full Liberation.

At present, I do have a book in the works that will clarify 100% of what needs to be known to secure Enlightenment for the average person, but that work will not be readily available until later this year (2022).

I look forward to directly introducing you to The Kingdom, within.

Hallelujah, forevermore.

Amen.

This $10 service is only applicable if you consent to allowing me to record the meditation and conversation so as to use it as content in later publications. If you do not consent, please select the alternative, $150 option.
