How I use mindfulness and hypnosis to create peace and wellness
Recently, I’ve realized that my love for mindfulness and hypnosis creates a powerful synergy that brings me peace and wellness. These two practices complement each other beautifully, allowing me to live with greater calm, energy, and vitality.
But let’s pause for a moment—what do peace and wellness mean to you? These concepts can look different for everyone. For me, peace is the absence of stress and anxiety, the feeling of being confidently in control of my life. Wellness, on the other hand, is feeling good in my body, energized, and knowing that my body can heal itself and manage pain effectively.
Today, I want to share my morning meditation process—a step-by-step routine I use to dissolve anxiety, cultivate peace, and foster wellness.
This is my process, something I’ve developed and refined over time. I started by following someone else’s steps, then evolved it into a practice that resonates with me. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, so feel free to adapt this to suit your needs.
Let’s dive in!
My Morning Meditation Process
Step 1: Set a Timer
I start by setting a timer for 15 minutes. If you’re new to this, you might want to begin with a shorter time—whatever feels comfortable for you.
Step 2: Take Core Breaths
Next, I take a few deep breaths, focusing on releasing any tension or “stuff” I may be holding onto.
Step 3: Mindful Breathing
I bring my awareness to my breath—this is the mindful breathing phase. I focus on something specific about my breath, such as its rhythm, the muscles involved, or even the sound it makes. I stay here for a few moments or minutes, allowing myself to relax deeply before moving on.
Step 4: Gratitude Practice
Once I feel relaxed, I shift my focus to gratitude. I silently say “thank you” for whatever comes to mind—my angels and guides, their light and guidance, or the blessings in my life.
Step 5: Self-Hypnosis
Now, I transition into self-hypnosis, combining imagination and emotion. I visualize what I want and focus on how it would feel to have it right now.
Here’s an example: If I’m feeling anxious about a person or situation, I avoid dwelling on “what if” scenarios. Instead, I focus solely on what I want to happen. I send energy into the universe, affirming that I want this outcome—or something even better.
Similarly, if I’m dealing with illness, I don’t focus on the discomfort. I imagine myself feeling better, full of vitality, and doing the things I love. This sends a strong message to my subconscious mind that I expect to feel better soon.
Step 6: Wrap Up with Gratitude
I stay with this visualization and emotion until the timer rings. Then, I thank the universe, the Divine, or God, and slowly bring myself back to alertness, feeling inspired, empowered, and amazing.
Step 7: Journaling
After the meditation, while still in a state of deep relaxation, I grab my journal for an automatic writing session.
This is where I process any limiting beliefs, blocks, or frustrations that may have surfaced during the session. Sometimes I’m consciously aware of these, and other times they’re just below the surface.
Journaling helps me release these blocks for good. I create action plans, affirmations, and healing practices, or even tap into inspiration and excitement about my goals. It’s a powerful way to conclude my meditation/self-hypnosis practice.
My Super Power
This is why mindfulness and hypnosis is my Super Power. Mindfulness has the power to produce relaxation, easily and quickly, opening the door to your subconscious mind. Then following up with self-hypnosis manifesting what you want both in your subconscious mind and with your energy sending your manifesting vibration into the universe. This synergy is empowering, healing and calming.

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, our minds and bodies often find themselves out of sync, leading to stress, pain, and a weakened immune system. But fear not! There are powerful tools at our disposal to reestablish harmony between the mind and body. They include mindfulness and hypnosis, two of my favorites. Reiki is another favorite and that is for another blog.
Studies show this stuff works!
Extensive scientific research has explored the effectiveness of these two practices, yielding truly impressive results. Let’s dive into some key findings and consider practical ways to incorporate these techniques into our daily routines and boost our overall well-being.
Who has Stress?
Stress is like a silent intruder, sneaking its way into our lives and wreaking havoc on both our mental and physical health. Mindfulness meditation has emerged as a potent antidote to stress, helping us cultivate a state of present-moment awareness and a state of calm even while we are experiencing storms of life. Studies have shown that regular mindfulness practice can lower levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, leading to reduced anxiety and improved mood. Cortisol isn’t good: check out more here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/stress-management/in-depth/stress/art-20046037
Can one hypnotize themselves?…..YES!
Hypnosis, with its ability to tap into the subconscious mind, offers another avenue for stress reduction. By guiding individuals into a deeply relaxed state or using self-hypnosis, you can help unravel the knots of tension stored in the body and reframe negative thought patterns that contribute to stress. [I have a quick, step by step, self-hypnosis at the end of the blog] You can also calm the storm by creating what you want to happen. It is all about energy and intention.
Imagine a life with less pain
Pain is often a signal from the body that something is amiss, but it can also become chronic and debilitating. Mindfulness-based pain management techniques teach us to observe our sensations with curiosity and non-judgment, allowing us to develop a healthier relationship with pain. Research suggests that mindfulness can reduce the perception of pain by altering the way our brains process sensory information.
Relaxation promotes healing
Similarly, hypnosis has been shown to be effective in alleviating both acute and chronic pain. By tapping into the power of suggestion and visualization, hypnotherapy can help individuals change the way the brain registers pain, reducing the pain levels and promoting relaxation in the body.
The dynamic duo of wellness
The mind-body connection runs deep, influencing not only our mental and physical well-being but also our immune system. Chronic stress weakens the immune response, making us more susceptible to illness. Mindfulness and hypnosis offer promising strategies for relaxation, bolstering our body’s defenses which creates an environment for our bodies to heal naturally. Relaxation promotes healing. A body in stress heals very slowly.
Mindfulness increases resilience
Mindfulness practices have been linked to improvements in immune function, including increased activity of immune cells that help fight off infections. By fostering a sense of inner calm and resilience, mindfulness can help fortify our immune system against the onslaught of stressors.
Hypnosis increases wellness
Hypnosis, too, has been shown to kick start your immune system, with studies demonstrating improvements in immune markers following hypnotherapy sessions. By harnessing the power of the mind, hypnosis can help activate the body’s innate healing mechanisms and promote overall wellness.
How to get started
Now that we’ve explored the profound impact of mindfulness and hypnosis on the mind-body connection, how can we incorporate these practices into our daily lives?
Mindful meditation
Start by carving out a few minutes each day for mindfulness meditation or self-hypnosis. Set aside a quiet space where you can relax without distractions, and experiment with different techniques to find what resonates with you. Whether it’s focusing on your breath, practicing body scan meditations, or listening to guided hypnosis recordings, consistency is key.
Mindful activities
Additionally, look for opportunities to infuse mindfulness into your daily activities, such as mindful eating, walking, or even washing the dishes. By bringing a sense of presence and awareness to each moment, you can gradually cultivate a deeper connection between your mind and body.
Self-hypnosis in a nutshell
Entire books have been written on self-hypnosis and I have read several of them. I used to think self-hypnosis had to be difficult since so many pages were devoted to it. IT’S NOT DIFFICULT!
Easy Self-Hypnosis technique
1.Start with a simple mindful breathing meditation- focus on your breath for a few minutes and when you feel relaxed,
2.Introduce an affirmation. I like a short affirmation that can be repeated easily. Begin repeating the affirmation over and over and then when you are ready, and you will know when that is.
3.Begin to imagine the affirmation in your life…As if it has already happened and begin to allow yourself to feel the emotion as if it is already in your life.
4.Keep with the visual and the emotion for as long as you want. Longer the better.
That is self-hypnosis. Try it!
In conclusion, by embracing mindfulness and hypnosis, we have the power to nurture a harmonious relationship between our mind and body, promoting overall health and well-being. So why wait? Start your journey towards healing and wholeness today!
