Below the mist

Below the mist there lies an undiscovered path. 
A road deep in the valley where you may find freedom.
Under the clouds of illusions you will find peace and solice.
And as you wander the darkness and wonder what treasures you will encounter, you will be unafraid.
Hope is waiting there for you this very day.
Fulfillment is yours.
On this day, this very day, you will transform.
The twin Palm trees represent your conscious and subconscious minds and they will work in harmony to help you.
Below the mist they are diligent in their task. 
They are weaving a beautiful tapestry. A blended, colorful artistry for you and your desires.
You are never alone.
You are truly loved.
And so it is.

The path into our own life is truly the only path.

It's always an inside job.

Triggering events may well be occurring often to us at this time of year. The holidays can bring joy but they may also bring sadness.
Through trance-state we can transform these triggering events into serenity, self  growth and self nourishment.
A trigger is merely a message. Something brought up from the past that needs to rise to the surface to be freed.
Someone said something to me today that ruffled my feathers a bit and caused some discomfort. It was an offhand remark about my age being older than the person who I was speaking to. My first thought was 
" Huh I'm not that much older."
Then the second thought was " I must look really old today." 
You know how these thoughts can snowball once they start!
 Frankly it more or less ended around the 2nd or 3rd thought but later on
as I went into trance-state, through prayer, I realised that this was exactly the issue that I had been wanting to resolve in my life. My personal goals are: To feel good about myself, the way I look, my age, and to keep a youthful frame of mind no matter what.
This person was a messenger to me that I hadn't finished my goals yet. If I had finished, this remark would have had no effect whatsoever. It was also a sign that I had made some strides as ruffling the feathers is rather slight compared to a down and out self esteem attack.
We truly are as young as we feel. Thinking young thoughts has a direct effect on our overall health. Thinking self- loving and self- appreciative thoughts also keeps us healthy, vibrant and youthful.

I am now walking through the doorway to the best year of my life! 2020

We can start now by implanting this idea into our subconscious mind.
 Repeating a positive phrase, making sure that it is said in the now, the present, forms what are known as affirmations.
Affirmations work best when we are in trance state.
The conscious mind resists. Therefore by going into trance state first we may bypass the analytical and  critical conscious mind.
Listening to music induces trance state. Deep rhythmic breathing also allows us to enter the doorway to the subconscious.
We enter into trance state all the time.

The key is to guide this state towards our benefit, our growth and our happiness.

There are times I find myself in a negative trance state that seems to keep spiraling downward. At these times I am mindful and notice what's going on. When I am present it diminishes.
Reading this blog is putting you into a focused trance state. And as you read this you may wonder where it will take you. Just drift along like a feather in a flowing stream. Breathe in and Breathe out and relax. 
You may be relaxing more on the in breath or maybe you are relaxing more on the out breath.
As you feel your eyes getting heavier you are relaxing deeper.
I am now walking through the doorway to the best year of my life! 
I am now walking through the doorway to the best year of my life! 
I am now walking through the doorway to the best year of my life!

Poetry is a wonderful way to enter Trance State

Many successful inductions include visualization. 
The act of looking inward into our imaginations can reduce resistance and calm the mind bringing about a change in our state of life, our consciousness.
Poems are visually oriented. Many poems are also a form of story telling.
Ericksonian Hypnotherapists use some of the same elements as in poetry.
1. Visualizations
2. Analogies/ Metaphors
3. Story telling
4. Rythym and pacing
5. Modulating the voice

When I recently wrote the following poem I found that I went into trance. I felt a deep relaxation and a sense of wellbeing. A sense of wonder enveloped me and I was truly in the present moment.
A dear friend of mine told me years ago that she quit smoking by writing poetry.

My readers also expressed feeling similar sensations while reading my poem.

Write a poem today! When you do, you will feel relieved and relaxed.

Here is my latest poem. Enjoy.

Inside and between each rising vapor lies a stillness and silence.

I wander the spaces between the spaces.

The blanket of night dispelled.

The moon is crowned, wrapped in a muted halo of today's rainfall.

The evening fog is a dream from which I refuse to awaken.

Light from the brewing caldron fills me with the wonder of who I am and I know I am loved.
