Today I’ll be sharing the preparation session for the next installment of the Thought Process Trancework Series which I’ve called “A Question of Control”, in which you’ll learn about how subconscious patterns that begin as natural survival responses become rigid, and overly-general rules that begin to be universally applied in our daily experiences, and can cause our lives to become increasingly smaller, and more anxious. I’m going to offer some understanding about two simple but serious errors that we can make in our thought processes that lead us to feel increasingly out of control, and gain insight into a new approach through which you can transform your thinking, behaviour, and as a result - your life - in incredible, and much more enjoyable ways! This session, and many others are also available to download, for FREE from the downloads page of my website.

A Question of Control - Preparation Session

Today’s episode is an active Trancework session called “Choosing the Change”. Most people become aware when they are repeatedly doing something ineffective, or things that are creating misery or suffering in their lives. They might even plan to do something different next time... but when the next time comes... it’s like they just slip into the old ruts, and do the same old thing... and they get the same old results! In this Trancework Session, I use various techniques to offer your subconscious mind some new possibilities and perspectives that will open the doors to perceiving, and choosing to create new opportunities to move forward in your life in new, and different ways. This session, and many others are also available to download, for FREE from the downloads page of my website.

Choosing the Change - Trancework Session

 Today I'm  sharing the preparation session for the next installment of the Thought Process Trancework Series which I’ve called “Understanding Patterns”, in which we’ll be doing a deeper exploration into how subconscious thought patterns first come about often when we are really young, how they become established and essentially automatic – our default way of reacting – and how, often in spite of being aware of an unhelpful pattern, we can still find ourselves repeating the same mistake over and over. This session, and many others are also available to download, for FREE from the downloads page of my website.

Understanding Patterns - Preparation Session

Today’s episode is an active Trancework session called “Foresight and Vision”. If this is your first time listening to Living Zen or this Thought Process Trancework series, I’d highly recommend that you go back to the beginning and start there, as each session builds on, and complements the last. Of course, each session is still highly effective on its own, but if you really want to enhance the impact of the sessions, do yourself a favour and take it from the top! In this Trancework Session, we’ll be reorienting the perspective of your subconscious mind to be more future oriented, and supporting you in clarifying and cultivating your vision... for your future. Naturally we all want “good things” to happen, and you likely want to “succeed” in the ways that are important to you... but have you ever really clarified what that actually means? What does that look like, in practical terms? If you were really successful, what would you be doing... and feeling... that you just aren’t doing now?  In this session we’ll be setting your subconscious mind into motion on the task of clarifying where you want to be going, and beginning the step-by-step journey that takes you from where you are right now, to where you want to be. This session, and many others are also available to download, for FREE from the downloads page of my website.

Foresight and Vision - Trancework Session

 In this prep session, building on the last session, “Facing the Unkown”, we’ll explore and unpack our subconscious patterns around how and why we project negative past experiences forward, and how you can begin to transform this pattern into something much more beneficial, and satisfying. This session, and many others are also available to download, for FREE from the downloads page of my website.
