You need to feel your emotions because that is how you manifest.
If you’re having “negative” thoughts/emotions, they are trying to relay a message you might be ignoring or have not yet received and/or integrated.
Pay attention, ask the right questions, and take the right (inspired) actions.
Feeling good by canceling out feeling bad will only delay your desires and apply more pressure until you are broken down and submit to acknowledging and FEELING your emotions – energy in motion.
Understanding why you feel bad in the first place and processing from “the first place” results in a good feeling.
Remember, when it comes to achieving emotional intelligence, always choose integration over dissociation.
Being distrustful of others is a byproduct of fear/insecurity and a sign that we do not trust ourselves or the unfoldment of life.
When we place our trust in others, it should be because we trust that person, group, or establishment will always do what is necessary for their best interest. That means whatever they are “programmed” to think is best for them, no matter how healthy or unhealthy that thing is.
The best thing we can all do is learn to become more discerning and distinguish between the voice of the higher consciousness and the lower consciousness. This strengthens trust in the self so we are able to see/feel/sense very quickly what resonates with our energy and what does not.
Let’s place our trust in us, the Divine Source within, that way when someone seemingly betrays your “trust” the betrayal might sting, but won’t be taken personally. For you will have already sensed that this person was going to take this action and prepared yourself thanks to your heightened connection with Source.
Put your faith in you and life itself. Know you are always shrouded in Divine protection and guidance, so you can love and experience all life has to offer freely. Only I have the power to hurt me therefore it is my responsibility to exercise my Divine authority as a sovereign being to be discerning about where I place my energy. The more we practice this, the quicker we can make decisions and be less emotional and delusional about situations. Take back your power..

All fears serve a great purpose. In fact, there is not one emotion, thought, idea or behavior that does not. Sometimes fear paralyzes us and keeps us from going after what we desire.
A great way for you to move your fears out of your path is by creating a container for them. In doing so we can continue moving towards our goals despite fear.
There are two main types of fear:
The first is Primal Fear which triggers the flight, fight, freeze responses that live in the Primitive Mind. This is an instinctual fear that is innate in every human since the earliest existence of man.
The Primal Fears’ primary job is to make sure we survive and are safe from perceived danger in our immediate environment. The Primitive mind reminds us to eat, stay warm, or cool down, and to run, hide, or be still and quiet in the event of an attack.
The second fear is the Fear of the Unknown which is triggered when we are trying to make changes in our lives or do something different that we have never done before. This type of fear is also a form of protection because your mind does not know the difference between being chased by a Saber Toothed Tiger and starting a new business.
Fear of the Unknown shows up as resistance and can cause us to exhibit success blocking behaviors that hinder us from achieving certain goals or making healthier life choices.
For example, “If I quit smoking how will I be able to relax after work?” “If I start this weight loss journey, does that mean I can’t ever eat pizza again?” “Will I be financially secure if I start my own business?”
When we do not know what is going to happen after we achieve a goal, our resistance barriers go up as a form of protection against the unknown.
Here are a few tips on what to do when you notice fear is getting in the way of your success.
Acknowledge the fear and admit it is the reason you are self-sabotaging. Whether you are procrastinating on a project, unable to stick to your fitness goals, or pushing away a potential new friend or romantic partner.
Try identifying what triggered the fear. Every fear has a point of origin and is associated to some kind of trauma from the past that our Primitive Mind is trying to protect us from. Sitting with a pen and pad and asking yourself the question, “What am I afraid of in this situation?” can yield some profound insights.
Once you have identified the trigger now it’s time to create a container for the fear. I love this technique. It is highly effective and works rather quickly depending on the intensity of the fear.
Step 1 – Take a few deep breaths and close your eyes.
Step 2 – Get a sense of what might be the ideal container to trap the fear i.e., glass jar, metal safe or cage, a box with a lock. Whatever you come up with is exactly the ideal container for you.
Step 3 – Turn the fear into a form that can fit inside the container. If you have a hard time visualizing, think of something you have seen before that represents being held inside a container that cannot get out it. *I will be doing another video on how people with aphantasia, which is the inability to form mental images of objects that are not present, can still use imagery to assist with subconscious reconditioning.
Step 4 – Mentally place the fear inside of the container and decide what will happen to the fear. Will it stay in the container temporarily until you reach your goal? Will it transmute into something that can benefit you? Or will you decide to get rid of the fear all together? The choice is totally up to you.
This is a starting point. It is not the end-all, cure-all. This technique will help you move the fear aside so you can take steps towards your goals. In thesevideos, I give you tips and tricks to help you achieve instant relief in the moment. If certain issues are recurring you definitely want to seek assistance with getting to the root of the problem so you can permanently relieve yourself of the issue. I hope you give this container method a try the next time you find that fear is blocking your forward movement.
Do you compare yourself to others’ body, appearance, money, relationship, or success? Comparing ourselves to someone else is a form of self-sabotage as it places us in a box of limitation that keeps us stuck in mediocrity. Playing small stifles spontaneity and inspiration thus bringing death to the door of creativity.
Creative energy comes from Divine inspiration. It is that spark of raw energy, drive, joy, and excitement. When we compare ourselves to others and try to replicate what they are doing, we lose that raw energy. A part of us dies and blocks our ability to pull new ideas down from the ether. This kind of energy is chaotic until we claim the idea for ourselves and shine our unique light upon it giving it some structure and form.
There is a difference between comparison and observation, however. I can and observe somebody’s life and say, “I’m inspired by how they live their life and I’d like to know how they accomplished that.” That is being inspired and observing success in an area of life you are looking to improve. Comparison is looking for the similarities between you and another person.
While there is nothing wrong with noticing how you might be similar, the danger is when you find the similarity and feel inadequate because you assume their experience is better than yours. Trying to become them or copy an inspired idea that they have shined their unique light on, is when we start to live inauthentically.
If you have ever compared yourself to someone else and felt inadequate instead of inspired, it simply means you never received confirmation that you are enough. YOU ARE ENOUGH!
We have creative ideas flowing through us all the time, they seem to be hidden because we have not learned how to trust our instincts and may still be seeking outside validation that our ideas are good enough to breathe life into.
To move into a space of self-approval and connect to trust, we must take time to just be with ourselves. You can do this in meditation, taking a long walk, or journaling. It is in self-reflection that we find our true essence and when we do, we never run out of fresh ideas that serve our highest good. Go forth and live and thrive in your creative energy!!

Anxiety is a real thing that much of the population is dealing with especially during the current times. In this article we will look at 6 quick and easy ways to help reduce anxiety and talk yourself off a ledge.
Step # 1: Become aware of your current state and acknowledge “I don’t like the way I am feeling right now.”
Step # 2: Remind yourself “this is a feeling not a fact. I am feeling out of control and unsafe, but it is a fact that in this moment, I am in a safe place and in no immediate danger.” Remember, feelings are unfixed traits that can be changed in an instant.
Step # 3: Identify how you want to feel instead. For example, “I feel like something bad is going to happen. I am afraid and feel out of control. I know there is no evidence of danger in this moment. Therefore, I can experience calm, peace, and feel in control.”
Step # 4: Identify the best way to move into the desired feeling or experience. Perhaps it is going for a walk, taking a sip of water, or using a physical anchor like placing your hand over your heart ❤
Step # 5: If all else fails, try this breathing exercise. Take 6 to 10 deep breaths in and out saying the word that represents your desired feeling on the slow exhale of each breath. For example, take a deep breath in and breathe out while saying the word “calm”.
Step # 6: Go do something healthy that makes you feel good and reinforces that calm feeling and being in control. Things like meditation, playing a sport, stretching, listening to your favorite music, or talking to a great friend are highly effective.
Most importantly, work with a professional who is trained in anxiety relief, to help you get to the root of the anxiety. Quick Symptomatic techniques like the ones above, work well but the goal is to be anxiety-free. Being completely free of anxiety can happen when the root cause is dealt with. Remember, the root of your pain is the root of your healing.

A broken heart can create a flabby belly, but most people do not make this connection. While diet and exercise play a big role, repairing the heart is essential to maintaining a healthy weight. Weight management is one of the top concerns of the American public. Studies show that in 2020, 72% of men and 63% of women are overweight or obese in the U.S. Eighty percent of them associate diet and exercise to weight issues and attempt to integrate discipline around a new eating and fitness plan. However, this proves difficult to maintain.
Too many times the emotional component in weight gain is dismissed or overlooked all together. Identifying the emotional association to weight issues is paramount in successfully maintaining a healthy lifestyle. In hypnotherapy, about 80% of clients with weight management problems have unresolved emotional issues from painful circumstances, attached to their relationship with food and their bodies.
A broken heart comes from some sort of betrayal or loss. When that loss is not properly grieved, it leaves behind energy build ups in the body that get stored as extra fat to add a protective padding against more potential pain. This is not a conscious awareness as most people tend to compartmentalize the emotions from the physical body, but the subconscious mind is an emotional mind, and it remembers everything. Hence the unconscious creation of extra pounds.
Our subconscious recalls different emotions when triggered to help us deal with situations in the quickest, safest, most pleasurable way possible. Even if the pleasure ultimately brings us pain. When we experience heart break, our defenses go up and we immediately try to hurry the process of getting over the pain or become addicted to it. Either way we create the need to protect and soothe ourselves and food tends to be the substance of choice as it is satisfying, easy, and legal to obtain.
Weight management is one of the longest working issues to deal with in hypnotherapy because it is so deeply attached to subconscious programs from childhood in most instances.
