attachment,

challenging us to
transcend, to find our
inner wholeness, our
greater divinity. As we
release attachments,
we experience greater
ease and flow.

The following guidelines are

gathered from observing my own
spiritual evolution, the evolution of
those around me, and the spiritual
growth I see in my hypnotherapy
clients. These guidelines address
the basic human conditions of
loneliness, lack of purpose, and
fear of death. Through releasing
from these limitations, we open a
doorway to expanding into our
greatest potential as human
beings.

Detach from narrow

paradigms.

Free yourself from specific beliefs,

as beliefs can limit your openness
to new experiences. Start from a
general understanding of the
following, and let the truth be
shown to you:

If we are whole in our spirit form,

then we can not be diminished by
loss of money or possessions. Find
ways of achieving joy, peace, and
bliss that are organic meditation,
massage, deep conversation, love,
sex, etc. Focus on these forms of
fulfillment and allow your need for
external possessions or distractions
(even travel) to fall away.
See your wholeness and
spiritual independence increase
as you give away that which is
not needed. As you create
physical space and quiet in your
own life, you will peel the
onion and be better able to
clearly see the voids youve
been trying to fill. Face those
inner shadows, and shed light
upon them one-by-one. Develop
inner peace through spirituallybased (love, connection,
intelligence) personal
development and emotional
healing. Enjoy the physical gifts
that this world has to offer, but
remind yourself while enjoying
them that you have other ways
to be just as satisfied.

The Universe is
intelligent, powerful,
and unlimited.
We are spiritual beings
having a physical
experience.
There are no rights or
wrongs -- only
experiences for growth
and learning. Release
culturally-deemed
"negatives". Look for
the growth opportunity
and the lesson in each
experience.
All difficulties show us
where we hold

Detach from possessions.

Embrace the concept of death

and the afterlife.

Study research on the near-death

experience, even on reincarnation.
Accept death as the portal to the
afterlife. Doing so will not cause it
to arrive sooner (Universal
Intelligence is not that literal!), but
it will release your fear of it and
allow you to live more fully and
fearlessly. Drill down into what your
fear of death is all about. For most
it is about dying alone. Explore
your beliefs around loneliness, and
challenge them from a spiritual
perspective.

Release yourself from

loneliness.

Show yourself that you that you are

part of a plan, that there are other
beings with you always, and that
this life is a short blip of perceived
separation, by doing the following:
Meditation, hypnosis,
past life work find
your personal
connection to universal
intelligence, and your
place within the
spiritual cycle of life.
Explore your dream
state through
journaling youll see
that your dreams are
powerful, wise, and
connected to a greater
reality.
Seek Mediumistic,
psychic, astrological or
other readings that
involve divination of a
greater wisdom it will
be proven to you that

there is a greater plan,

a greater intelligence
at work far beyond our
understanding.

Be aware of where you seek

love.

Are you addicted to external

validation? To relationships? Do you
feel whole only when with a
partner? Do you continue to seek
that ultimate relationship? If you
are meant to unite with a soul-mate
in this lifetime, nothing you do can
stop it from happening. But if you
are seeking out of loneliness, then
this is less than optimal for you.
Look deeply at what you are trying
to satisfy, and where you have
been turning up until now. Consider
the next item, Find Community.

Find Community.

Until recent generations, we have

been a tribal species. As social
creatures in this Western society,
often separated from our families
(geographically or ideologically) it
is normal to feel lonely and
disconnected. We have not evolved
for this kind of isolation. Many of us
seek solace from a single source
a romantic partner. This approach
not only has a high risk of failure, it
often doesnt support ones best
growth as an individual.
It is more true to our nature to
satisfy that need for intimate
human connection through
connecting with a community of

like-hearted, loving and supportive

individuals. People who make you
feel safe and free to be you. People
who challenge you to step up and
be even more than you have been
before. Spend a day with loving
souls with whom you deeply
connect, and you will go to bed at
night with a full heart.
Keep addressing loneliness through
community, personal development,
and proving your own connection to
Spirit. Once you get to the point
where you love life on your own,
you will truly be ready for a healthy
relationship.

Live your passion(s).

If not through a full time vocation,

then in your free time. Study what
you love. Invest in yourself, love
yourself. Align with your passion, and
you will be shown your path. This will
allow energy to flow through you and
allow you to expand in incredible
ways confidence, skills, vitality, and
connection to others. ~~
