Oh boy, I’m in trouble now. I came across a GREAT site for MP3 self-hypnosis downloads: Better Living With Hypnosis.
I was initially looking for some good meditation downloads and found these instead. Decided to try one, and WOW! They are fantastic - very high quality, I’m impressed!
(A few years ago I bought a stop smoking hypnosis CD from Amazon.com, and was pretty disappointed - it sounded like the guy had recorded it in his garage with the leaf-blower going. 
Not worth the money to say the least!)
The one I got yesterday (for weight loss here) is AWESOME! First, the hypnotist (Steve G. Jones is his name) has a great voice, very soothing and comforting somehow, like you’re being wrapped in a hug. 
But what impressed me the most is that the audio quality itself is nice and clear, obviously professionally recorded - and there are other sounds too, like gentle ocean waves and soft music in the background. (At least on the weight loss recording there are; I haven’t checked out the others yet.)
The whole session was around 40 minutes long and I have to tell you, it was a very experiential experience! He walks you through some visualization exercises to help you relax before the hypnotic suggestions and he really kicked my imagination into overdrive! I felt like I was really there; all of my senses were engaged - FANTASTIC experience!
Better still, you can download the MP3 files or have a CD mailed to you. (I just downloaded mine and put it on my MP3 player.)
I’ve got my eye on a few more of his selections now, like: Attract Abundance, Relaxation, Increasing Energy, Self-Esteem and a few others.
So if you’re looking for some good meditation(ish) downloads, there you go! He’s got over 100 to choose from!
And by the way, hypnosis can be a POWERFUL tool when it comes to using the Law of Attraction deliberately. It’s designed to help you bypass limiting beliefs, fears and blockages in your subconscious mind - and replace those limiting messages with something more positive and empowering. That means you have less RESISTANCE to the things you’re trying to attract into your life. To quote Martha Stewart, “That’s a good thing!”
So check it out and let me know if you try some, I’d love to hear your experiences! I’ve got more to say on the weight loss thing, but I’m running short on time right now - we’ll pick up with that later.
P.S. HAPPY EARTH DAY! Beyond all the physical actions you can take to honor the earth today, why not also spend a few minutes visualizing a healthy, abundant earth? Send out positive energy to bless the planet and all who inhabit it. A little goes a long way!

Sorry for my inactivity lately; don’t worry - I haven’t been eaten by bears!
I’ve been swamped with another new project, but I’m making fantastic progress and hope to be finished with it soon. Then I’ll immediately start on another one. LOL!
Anyway, I wanted to mention something great that has been happening to me lately, and that is the power of repetitive audio!
I finally broke down and bought an MP3 player for myself (yes, I’m probably the last person in the free world to do so; I’m usually a few years behind most people technology-wise ).
But I am LOVING this little gadget! I’ve been taking it with me everywhere - while I’m driving, while I’m shopping, while I’m doing housework or yard work, and pretty much all the time except when I’m working and need to focus.
I’ve got some favorite audios I’ve been listening to, such as:
- The Secret audio book
- Louise Hay’s audio book “The Power is Within You”
- My own Emotional Radiance Meditation
- Joe Vitale’s Clearing Audio
- Reiki Whale Dreaming by Kamal (whale songs w/music for meditation)
- Tibetan Chakra Meditations by Ben Scott & Christa Michell
I still haven’t downloaded much actual music, but I plan to.
All of this positive audio input is having a great effect on me! I’m not much of an audio person - or least I never used to be. Sometimes I like listening to music and I do often listen to meditation CDs, but more often I tend to prefer silence over background noise. I have sensitive ears and too much noise makes me feel like every nerve ending in my body is being aggravated.
But I’m discovering that the right KIND of noise (or sounds, I should say) is a different story! Listening to all these wise voices like the teachers in the Secret, Rhonda Byrne (who narrates her audio book), Louise Hay, and also the selected meditation music I’ve got so far - is . . . incredibly . . . uplifting. Talk about a constant infusion of positive thoughts and emotions! I should have done this long ago.
In case you’re interested, I got my MP3 player from QVC.com. It’s the Sansa 2GB, which holds up to 500 songs. Not a huge device by any means, and not at all expensive! (It was around $45)
And to my absolute joy, I also discovered that Amazon.com offers MP3 downloads! Mostly music, but there are also many New Age selections like meditations and such. Better still, you can buy the songs individually for .89 cents or so, or whole albums for $6 to $12. Very cool!
P.S. If anyone knows of other good audio-download sources, please let me know!

Yesterday I had my second Reiki session and it was even more powerful than the first, except in a quieter sort of way.
The first session was intense, and the second seemed gentler — but the energy seemed to penetrate more deeply into me also. Afterwards I felt so incredibly BALANCED. Balanced from within. It’s hard to describe, but I felt calmer, more centered, and more grounded.
During the session, my thoughts were drifting lazily along, and I suddenly remembered a time in my life when I used to meditate regularly. I used to spend about 20 minutes in the morning and again in the evening just sitting quietly and emptying my mind. I miss that!
Over the past few years, I’ve let my external demands take over my need for quiet time alone. Oh sure, I spend time relaxing, reading, watching TV, writing in my journal, etc. But lately it’s rare for me to meditate, and I’m finally noticing what a difference it makes in my life.
When I was meditating regularly, I was so in tune with myself. Not only did I feel more alert mentally, and more energetic physically, I also seemed more connected with the world around me. My intuition was stronger and I had more confidence. More inner peace too, which is something I’ve been sorely lacking lately.
So I’m going to resume that practice again. Just a few minutes in the morning and again in the evening before bed, sitting quietly, breathing, listening to the silence. Sounds heavenly, doesn’t it?
You can join me if you want!
