For many people, The Inner Spiritual Journey is nothing less than a voyage to Spirit, Soul or even God, an encounter with the highest Truth possible, for one's healing, wholeness, well-being, and divine purpose.

The conduit of this journey is your Higher Self, the eternal soul-aspect of yourself who knows who you really are, where you've been, why you're here, what makes you happy, and what you're on Earth to do.  The Inner Spiritual Journey can help you connect to and communicate with your Higher Self to help you clarify what you really want, face and transcend your fears, and evolve your perspective to a higher consciousness.

The Inner Spiritual Journey is considered a type of hypnotherepeutic method, also variously called "holistic hypnotherapy" as well as “heart-centered,”  “soul-centered,” or “alchemical” hypnotherapy, and can work at a profound level to resolve emotional, spiritual, psychological and physical issues. 

This is not traditional hypnosis whereby I reprogram your subconscious. It IS a type of hypnotherapy method, in that it is designed to help the consciousness transcend the ego and enter an alpha state, much like meditation. Unlike meditation, which has no goal, hypnotherapy is entered into with objectives, usually with "fixing" personal problems.

In the Inner Spiritual Journey, however, a desire for growth, expansion, and evolution is more than sufficient as an objective. No matter what your specific goals are, our challenge is to let go to the wisdom of the Higher Self and Spirit, who can take us to the core issue or crucial next step in our personal development and the unfolding of our soul's expression.

My role is as an experienced, intuitive facilitator, guiding you into a relaxed state of body and mind, inviting connection to your Higher Self, and helping you stay focused on your experience. Your personal experience and encounter with your Higher Self is not something I control or manipulate. For that reason, I cannot guarantee any particular result or experience.

The Inner Spiritual Journey is a method I offer to clients enrolled in my coaching programs to help them advance in the creation of their objectives. Daring greatly can certainly challenge us to deal with our personal foibles, hurts and demons which are holding us back. For example, here are the various ways our Higher Self can help us:

• connect with personal truth, potential, and purpose
• spiritual growth
• emotional maturation
• accept and embrace change and transition
• cultivate creativity and inspiration
• clarify desires and objectives
• decision-making
• getting "unstuck" and moving past old limitations
• physical and emotional healing
• changing unwanted thoughts, habits, and behaviors
• liberation from fear and anxiety
• building self-confidence
• fostering forgiveness
• coming to terms with the past

This method can be a very profound experience, possibly either very peaceful and sometimes intense. It can be very joyful or moving. Every session is different for every person. I can't predict what will happen during a session, but for most people it is a very worthwhile and effective experience.

Frequently Asked Questions about The Inner Spiritual Journey and Hypnotherapy

• How many sessions will I need to solve or cure my problem?

First, I'd like to emphasize that my Inner Spiritual Journey method is not necessarily about solving a problem. It is first and foremost a path for getting closer to, and aligning with, Spirit and Soul. Spiritual development is not a problem to be solved but a choice in personal growth and expansion.

That said, hypnotherapy sometimes has a reputation for being a quick fix, which can create unrealistic expectations. The reality is that growth and healing are usually processes which require time. So when people ask me how many sessions they will need, I reply: However long it takes for you to face and drop the illusion of your fears, and accept the truth of yourself and your healing.  For those who are able and willing to commit to the process, I see very powerful and transformative results. For some people, just one session, or an occasional session, can be amazing and extremely useful, but usually anywhere from 3 to 10 sessions are needed, depending on the situation. I advise planning for at least a "trilogy" of 3 sessions which is a cycle of initiation, assimilation, and completion.

• Can anyone be hypnotized?

Anyone who is willing can be hypnotized, except for babies and the mentally handicapped.

Although anyone can be hypnotized, my method is not for everyone. This method is particularly good for people who consider themselves to be, or opening to be, intuitive, creative, aware, sensitive, visual, and/or spiritual.

• Will I remember what happens during the session?

Yes. In hypnosis, you are not asleep or unconscious; you are in an altered state of consciousness.  A part of your mind will be observing and remembering the experience.

• Can I record the session?

Yes, but you will have to bring your own recording equipment as I don't have any.

• I've tried hypnosis before and it didn't work. Should I try your method?

No.

•What happens during a séance?

First we talk about your objectives, and anything that you think is important for me to know.

For the actual séance, the client usually stretches out on the sofa, and is covered with a blanket. I might play a gentle meditation music/sound (Aeoliah's Angel Love) and the client closes their eyes. The client is guided into a relaxed state of body and mind using autogenics, which is verbal suggestion and imagery. I do not use a flame or pendulum.

At the end of the relaxation phase, the client hears me invite the Higher Self to guide them on a healing journey, to help them experience what is most important that day for their well-being and highest purpose. I do not mention the specific issue that brought you to the session. That is because the Higher Self knows what the real issue is, and what to do about it. I trust and let go to the wisdom of the Higher Self.

During the session, the client keeps their eyes closed. The client might experience light and colors, bodily sensations, great emotion, images, visions, memories and messages. From time to time I ask the client what is happening so I can continue to guide the session and work with the Higher Self.  Therefore, we speak during the session, and although it is not a conversation, it is important that we communicate. 

• What should I expect to experience during the session, and as a result?

Some people have specific expectations of what "should" happen. Some people are hoping for magic or instant and painless transformations. Hypnotherapy is not magic. There is nothing that is supposed to happen.

Hypnotherapy can be a path to the depths of one's being, but the mind has to let go of expectations, judgments analysis and fear to get there.  This is a learning experience for the mind and usually requires time, and it may take more than one or even several sessions for the ego to learn that it is safe to let go, and that trying to control the experience not only doesn't make it a better one, it can prevent anything from happening at all.

During a session, I also let go — of what I think you "should" do, experience or think.  I let go to the wisdom of your Higher Self. Ultimately people heal themselves.  I am merely a facilitator and a guide.

• Can you regress me to a past life?

I do not regress clients to past lives even if they specifically request it unless they have already visited a past life in a previous session with me. The reason is that I do not manipulate the client by suggesting what they should experience, think or do. I work with the Higher Self who I trust to guide the client in the most appropriate way. If this is to visit a past life, that's absolutely fine, but it must happen spontaneously, not by my manipulation. Generally, I do not promote past life regression because the vast majority of my clients have enough to deal with in this lifetime.

• I am working with a psychotherapist who I like but we have hit an impasse and I feel there is something deeper going on that we are not accessing with talk therapy. Could I try one or a few hypnotherapy sessions to see if there is something important buried inside? Do I hav to switch to you as my main therapist for that?

I have worked in tandem with psychotherapists to help "unblock" a client with a few hypnotherapeutic sessions. The client does not have to switch to me as their main therapist. However, I no longer offer this as an alternative or supplement to psychotherapy, but instead offer it as part of my holistic life coaching to help people create specific objectives. They might well have a therapist elsewhere, but as life coaching is quite a bit more expensive than therapy, this is something to consider.
