The Inner Spiritual Journey

The conscious connection with True Self

For many people, The Inner Spiritual Journey is nothing less than a voyage to Spirit or Soul.  It is an interactive and experiential connection with the highest Truth possible for one's well-being, expansion, and divine purpose. 

The conduit of this journey is your true, 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. It is designed to work at a profound level to resolve emotional, spiritual, psychological, and even physical issues. 

Although the Inner Spiritual Journey is indeed hypnotherapy, it is not traditional hypnosis whereby I reprogram your subconscious. It is a genuine hypnotherapeutic method in that it is designed to help the consciousness transcend the critical ego mind and enter an alpha state, much like meditation. Unlike meditation, which has no goal, hypnotherapy is entered into with objectives, often with "fixing" personal problems. I do not presume you need to be "fixed":  your Higher Self is likely to surprise both of us on what the true agenda is.

Growth, expansion, higher perspective, the evolution of the soul, healing and wholeness, harmony and oneness:  these are fundamental objectives of the Inner Spiritual Journey.  No matter what your specific goals are, the challenge is to not decide what the experience is “supposed” to be or how it "should" go, but to let go to the wisdom of the Higher Self and Spirit, who can take you to the core issue or crucial next step in your personal development and the fulfillment of your soul's expression.

My role is to guide you into a relaxed state of body and mind, inviting the conscious connection to your Higher Self, and helping you stay focused on your experience. As a skilled and intuitive facilitator, I help the process unfold for a meaningful, useful narrative.  Your personal experience and encounter with your Higher Self is not something I control or manipulate, nor do I want to. So, I cannot predict or guarantee any particular result, but much more importantly, it means that your experience is an authentic one.

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
• releasing the unwanted from our consciousness and our life
• liberation from fear and anxiety
• building self-confidence
• fostering forgiveness
• coming to terms with the past

The Inner Spiritual Journey can be a very profound experience. It can be deeply peaceful and sometimes very intense. It can be very joyful or moving. It can also feel neutral, yet very matter-of-factly enlightening. Every session is different for every person. I can't promise what will happen during a session, but for most people it is a very worthwhile and effective experience, and for many, it is transformative, empowering and life-changing.

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. I offer digressive rates on packages of 3 to 10 sessions.

• 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?

The best thing is not to have any expectations, but I know that's hard to do. Of course, you can expect me to conduct the session with skill, sensitivity and respect. 

In terms of your personal experience and the results you might be hoping for, it's better not to expect anything in particular. Some people have specific expectations of what "should" happen. Many are hoping for magic or instant and painless transformations. Neither the  Inner Spiritual Journey nor hypnotherapy are 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, a catalyst, 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 have 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 and spiritual counseling to help people create specific objectives. They might well have a therapist elsewhere, but as innovative life coaching and spiritual counseling are quite a bit more expensive than therapy, this is something to consider.
