Resilience can help us get through and overcome hardship. But resilience is not something we’re born with. It’s built over time as the experiences we have interact with our unique, individual genetic makeup. That’s why our individual responses to stress and adversity — like those from the COVID pandemic — can differ tremendously.

Hardships can be terrifying when you’re running away from them, and it can be so easy (almost natural) to feel ungrounded, fearful, or even paralyzed in the face of difficult emotions and life circumstances. But have you ever noticed that, the more you turn and face those fears, the more they lose their power? It’s like going on a camping trip and being terrified of the dark and the noises in the woods. The moment you shine a torch and look again, you realize there’s nothing to be afraid of.

The Mountain Meditation is a mindful visualization that is designed to cultivate stillness and calm, and to connect with our inner strength and stability in the face of internal and external challenges. It encourages us to seek inner stillness and peace in the face of everyday life and its challenges.

When it comes to meditation, mountains have a lot to teach. They have archetypal significance in all cultures: they are sacred places… they embody the contradictions of dread and harmony, harshness and majesty… they are the wombs of visions and revelations, where people have always sought spiritual guidance and renewal.

In this meditation practice, we borrow these wonderful archetypal qualities of mountains and use them to bolster our intentionality and resolve, to hold the moment with an elemental purity and simplicity. The mountain image, held in the mind's eye and in the body, can freshen up our memory of why we are sitting in the first place, and of what it truly means, each time we take our seat, to dwell in the realm of “pure being” and “non-doing.”

These reeadings are about personal development and empowerment, this time involves your question of Show Me, How Can I, or What Can I as these questions leave you in the drivers seat. We can also have a reading without a question where you can listen to the advice your guides have for you. I sit with a pen and paper as I write these messages down, listening for guidance on your behalf, I may have to periodically look up symbols I receive because that's just the way they communicate with me, they know I myself am skeptical so they will only give me a word and have me research, building my trust. It works just the same, I think it's funny actually.

Hypnotherapy is a form of psychotherapy. It is a vast and powerful tool, giving the client control of their session while exploring the deep subconscious levels of their mind to heal long lists of possible issues. All of human experience is connected to our subconscious; the way we interact, survive and relate to our environment, what belief patterns we hold about ourselves, others, and other living things, and more.
