self-mastery entails recognizing, understanding, and optimizing your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects. It begins with acknowledging the need for change, followed by self-reflection to identify limiting beliefs and behaviors. Understanding your motivations and embracing your authentic self enables you to release what no longer serves you and manifest your desired life. The First Step in Mastering Self is knowing something needs to change. Being aware and honest about your journey is one of the hardest parts of your growth cycle.

Hypno - Greek Word for Sleep. Therapy - Treatment intended to relieve or heal a physical or this case psychological dis-order. Combining the two together creates practice for treatment in relieving discomfort, or dis-orders by putting the conscious mind to “sleep”. Sleep and Hypnosis: Sleep is a state during which you are unconscious of what is going on. Hypnosis is a state during which you are consciously aware of what is happening around you. Another important difference is that during the sleep state we do not learn. The subconscious mind is considered to be the source or root of many of our behaviors, emotions, attitudes, and motivations. Hypnosis is believed to be a powerful tool for accessing the subconscious mind and creating dramatic improvements in our lives by reaching a higher state of behavioral and habitual change.

Breathwork is a form of active meditation to help open, release, and clear any stagnant energy you may be feeling in the body. Breathing allows you to go into the depths of the feelings from the subconscious mind to bring awareness to the Mind-Body Connection by clearing the energy out of your subconscious, body, and energetic centers (chakras).

The body stores our fears and unresolved emotions causing pain or dis-ease. Our fears block energy more than any other emotion, and is typically stored in our lower regions or energy centers. (The Root, Sacral, and Solar Plexus) The energy from the breathing process raises the vibration by stimulating the hypothalamus gland (Crown). The hypothalamus releases endorphins, that vibrate through the nervous system. The vibration hits blocks or clogs caused by fear or resistance that may be stopping the energetic flow. The breath forces and encourages that energy to flow. When energy moves it becomes electric and allows us to charge our batteries. The breath starts moving energy by oxygenating the blood and allowing emotions to move and flow freely. Breathwork can be beneficial by; Clearing and Energizing Stagnant Energy Enhancing Intuition and Self-Awareness Opening the Heart to Receive Love Alleviating Stress Boosting Energy Levels Enhancing Mental Clarity Improving Communication and Connectivity Releasing Emotional Pain and Trauma Cultivating Mind-Body Harmony Empowering Personal Strength Releasing Anger and Tension Addressing Grief Fostering Groundedness Letting Go of Fears Achieving Balance
