We're taking you on a journey in this episode where we finish the experiment with our minds' resistance to action and how we often wait for certain events like New Year's resolutions or weekends to initiate that change. We suggest a potent strategy - bringing our goals forward to see the emotions and engage self talk to overcome this resistance.

Ever wondered, "What's life all about?" or "Who am I really?" In this episode we will ponder over these existential questions and reveal how they can be the spark to start your unique spiritual journey. Today we try to introduce the connection between spirituality and hypnosis. We'll consider limits of language while trying to uncover the meaning of the word "Spirit." Words are mere symbols of symbols, twice removed from reality. How, then, can we use them to explore our own minds and our connection to higher powers?

We consider how hypnosis can be your compass in this journey of self-discovery. And, to bring it all together, we introduce a special concept - finding a unique word that embodies your highest self, symbolizing your ideals and power. Let’s take a deep breath and dive into this introductory exploration of spirituality and hypnosis.

Buckle up, for this enlightening discussion is all about unpacking the heavy baggage of guilt and its profound impact on mental health. We'll explore how guilt, rather than serving as a helpful emotion, often morphs into a self-destructive behavior, inhibiting our ability to make better choices. But here's the twist: what if we could reframe guilt? Instead of carrying it as a lifelong burden, we'll share insights on how to see guilt as a mere signal of a misstep, offering us a reminder to make amends and move forward.

But wait, there's more! Diving deeper, we will examine how to strip away layers of guilt and shame. Imposed on us, guilt can often feel like a controlling tool, leading to feelings of unworthiness. We'll share practical steps on admitting a mistake, offering genuine apologies, and making efforts to rectify our errors. In the end, it all boils down to forgiveness—of ourselves and others. We'll reflect on how releasing guilt through forgiveness is a profound act of love, allowing us to see past our mistakes and appreciate our true selves. So, get ready to unburden yourself from guilt, for this conversation is about unraveling the unhelpful weight of guilt and embracing a path of learning and growth.
