Mindful Magic: Experience the Power of Mindful Self-hypnosis

Mindful Magic: The Power of Mindfulness and Hypnosis

How I use mindfulness and hypnosis to create peace and wellness

I have come to a realization recently that my love for mindfulness and hypnosis has a powerful synergy that creates for me peace and wellness.

What is peace? What is wellness? It could mean something different to you then for me.  What does it mean to me? Peace is the absence of stress and anxiety. To be confidently in control of my life. Wellness means to feel good, with energy and vitality. To know that my body has the resources to heal itself and manage pain.  

I want to share my morning meditation process that I use to cancel anxiety and produce peace and create wellness.

This will be a step by step version.  However, know this, there is no right or wrong way to do this…This is my process that I have created by first taking someone else’s step by step process and then with my daily practice, evolving into what works for me.

So let’s get to it

Step 1- I begin by setting a timer. I set mine to 15 min.  If this is your 1st time, consider a shorter time.

Step 2- I take a few core breaths and release stuff 

Step 3- I now bring my awareness to my breath. (this is mindful breathing meditation) I am aware of something about my breath. It can be my rhythm, the muscles used, the sound, etc.     I focus on that for a few moments or minutes. When I feel sufficiently relaxed I move on.

Step 4- I begin to say thank you for whatever I am grateful for. For my angels and guides light and guidance, for things in my life, whatever comes to mind…

Step 5- I now move into self- hypnosis.  This phase is imagination and emotion.  I visualize what I want and how it would feel if I had it now.

What do I mean?

This  requires some explanation. Say, I am experiencing some anxiety about a person or situation. I would not spend any time on ‘what if’ this or that …..only on what I want to happen. I am sending my energy into the universe that I want this to happen or something better!

In this way, I am shutting down anxiety and empowering myself.  Same, if I am fighting illness, I only think about what I want…me feeling better and what I would be doing in wellness.  This sends a strong message to my/your subconscious mind that I / you expect to feel better soon.

Step 6-Stay with this visual and emotion until the timer rings and then thank the universe / Divine or God and begin to bring yourself back to alertness feeling inspired, empowered and amazing.

Step 7- After my mindfulness / self-hypnosis session, while I am still in a state of deep relaxation, I grab my journal and move into an automatic writing session.  This is a powerful ending to my session. Perhaps, a limiting belief, block, frustration or something else popped up during the meditation. (Sometimes I am aware of it and sometimes it is just below my conscious awareness)

This journal session is where I can flush it out and eliminate it for good. I can create action plans, affirmations, healing, inspiration, motivation and / or excitement of my goals.  It is a powerful ending to the meditation / self-hypnosis session.  

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.

3 Steps: Worry Less & Live With Confidence

3 Steps to Worry Less and Live Confidently

Life is a journey, filled with moments of joy and, at times, challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed. Worry and stress often sneak in, stealing our peace of mind and shaking our confidence. But here’s the good news—you can turn those daily worries into a lifestyle of calm and empowerment. I know. I used to be controlled by high general anxiety. Now, I use practical easy techniques that restore my peace, my confidence and my control in any situation.  

Here are three easy, actionable steps you can take to create a life filled with peace, confidence, and harmony.

First Technique: Cultivate Mindfulness and Present-Moment Awareness

Mindfulness is like a gentle pause button for life. Mindfulness is so powerful in my life.  It allows you to fully experience the present moment, free from judgment or worry. By practicing mindfulness, you can calm the mental chatter that often fuels stress and anxiety. Mindfulness is so easy and natural to use and only takes a moment to be effective.

Try This:

  • Mindful Breathing: Set aside just a few minutes daily to focus on your breath. Close your eyes, take a deep inhale through your nose, and into the core of your belly. Then exhale slowly. Then begin to breathe naturally. Feel the sensation of the air as it flows in and out. If your mind wanders (and it will!), gently guide it back to your breath without judgment.
  • Body Scan Meditation: Start from your toes and move slowly up to the top of your head, noticing areas of tension. With each exhale, imagine releasing any tightness or discomfort. When I first tried this, I was surprised at how much tension I’d been holding onto. Releasing it felt incredibly freeing.

I often practice these two steps together. With practice they can be done in moments. The benefits are amazing.

  • Gratitude Journal: Gratitude has a way of shifting our focus to life’s blessings. Before bed, jot down three things you’re grateful for. It’s a simple practice that rewires your brain for positivity and helps you fall asleep with a peaceful heart.

Second Technique: Use Positive Visualization and Self-Talk to Empower Yourself

Your thoughts shape your reality. What you tell yourself—those inner whispers—becomes the narrative of your life. By consciously replacing negative self-talk with supportive and uplifting messages, you can nurture peace and confidence from within. I love to use affirmations with visualization and emotion.

  • Positive Affirmations: Create affirmations that speak directly to your worries. For example, if you often feel anxious about making mistakes, try saying, “I got this!” “I can do this!” Repeat these affirmations as often as needed, out loud or silently, to reinforce their truth.

  • Visualization: Picture your ideal self—calm, confident, and capable. See yourself handling challenges with ease and grace. Then, ask yourself, How would this feel? Or like this, ‘if this positive visual scenario had an emotion or feeling, what would it be”? Allow that feeling to grow and blossom within you. Pair this visualization with an affirmation for an even more powerful impact.

I love using affirmations with positive visualization with emotion. These are my ‘go-to’ techniques to change any worry into an empowering awesome positive reality.

 Third Technique: Build Healthy Habits for a Stress-Free Life

True transformation comes from the habits we nurture daily. Incorporating healthy routines can support your journey toward a calm and confident life.

  • Regular Movement: Exercise isn’t just for the body—it’s a gift for your mind. Whether it’s a walk, yoga, or even gardening, find something you enjoy that keeps you moving. Physical activity releases endorphins, nature’s stress relievers.
  • Mindful Eating: Nourish your body with foods that support your well-being. Pay attention to what you eat, and avoid overloading on sugar or caffeine, which can heighten anxiety. Treat your body like it deserves the best—because it does.
  • Healthy Boundaries: Saying “no” is an act of self-care. Protect your energy by setting boundaries that honor your needs, whether it’s in relationships or at work. 

Remember

Change doesn’t happen overnight, and that’s okay. Be kind to yourself as you take these steps toward a more peaceful and confident life. Start small and stay consistent. Over time, you’ll notice those worries fading, replaced by a stronger, calmer, and more empowered version of you.

You’re not alone on this journey. If you ever feel stuck or want guidance, I’m here to help. Let’s walk this path together. 

Conclusion:

Breaking free from daily worry and stress is possible with consistent effort and a willingness to embrace positive change. By cultivating mindful awareness, shifting negative self-talk, and establishing healthy habits, you can transform your life into one characterized by peace and confidence. Remember that change takes time, so be patient and compassionate with yourself throughout this transformative journey. Start small, stay committed, and watch as your worries melt away, replaced by an empowered and serene version of yourself

Art Kuhns Certified Hypnotherapist/ Hypnosis Instructor and Reiki Master/Teacher

Hi, let me share a bit about myself. Around 13 years ago, I discovered the incredible potential of the mind, body and spirit. I was introduced to Reiki, a powerful energy healing system. My initial experience with hypnosis occurred when I was sitting in an office chair, casually leaning against the wall with the intent of removing a lifelong fear.  In this 20 minute session my lifelong fear, panic really, of floating on my back in a pool disappeared. In one session, my fear was gone.

That led me to become certified in hypnotherapy through HMI (Hypnosis Motivation Institute) an accredited college of hypnotherapy. Now, as a Reiki master and hypnotherapist,  I am excited to offer Reiki infused hypnotherapy for your ultimate success.

I am dedicated to empowering my clients by assisting them in uncovering and harnessing their innate healing abilities. By tapping into this source of power, they can lead a purposeful, mindful, and harmonious life. Through the powerful combination of Reiki and hypnosis, my clients are able to establish an intuitive connection and experience holistic healing.

You are the Creator of your Life!

You are the creator of your life

You are a powerful creator of your life.  Did you know that? Do you know that your thoughts produce an energy field around you and that energy field attracts onto itself other energy like it. For example, when I worry about something happening and all the worst case scenarios that go along with those worry thoughts, those scenarios or something like it will appear in my life. I am actually creating what I fear into my life.  How crazy is that!  So the question to ask yourself is: ‘what are you thinking’? Really the  more accurate question is: ‘what life are you creating for yourself with your worry thoughts? If you are happy with your life now, no worries. If you are not and you are ready for a change, keep reading

I wasn’t happy with what was happening in my life. I thought, what would happen if I began to apply this information in my life?  I thought, let’s begin to  apply this knowledge in the area  of my past anxiety. It was a game changer for me.  I slowly began stopping my worrisome thoughts about what might happen and began thinking about what I wanted to happen. Not only did the bad thing not happen, my anxiety and stress dropped way down and I felt happier and surprisingly more confident.

Now, I didn’t make this change overnight and it took some time to make this a habit. As I began to become more and more aware of my ‘what if’ and worrisome thoughts, I began changing them more and more and you know what I found? I found that my positive thoughts began to happen more. 

Could the energy people be right? Do we really have the power to create and control our lives? 

Or is this just a coincidence?  

The more I applied the changed thinking into my life the more it began to come true. I was becoming the creator of my life.  I didn’t have to be the victim of my life anymore.  

WOW! My anxiety…GONE!  

Yes, Gone. That is why I have ‘past anxiety’ now.  I remain calm and confident in my life now. When those anxious thoughts appear now…..I stop them and I ask myself, what do I want instead?  Then I imagine that happening and I experience the feeling or emotion as if the event has already happened just as I imagined it.   By keeping my mind on what I want and that experience, I remain calm and confident. The anxiety disappears. 

So how do you do this? How does one become the creator of one’s life? 

Self Hypnosis!  Self hypnosis is the process of applying a focused thought while in a relaxed state of mind.  This simple process raises your vibration (energy field) and at the same time you are focused on what you want and how it makes you feel.  This combination of imagination and emotion is the key. What is emotion but vibration and energy? So, really bring into the experience as much emotion as you can. It really isn’t hard when you begin thinking about how wonderful the experience would be and having what you are imagining right now in the moment.

Self hypnosis isn’t just not for anxiety.

No Self Hypnosis works for everything.  It will work for goals, chronic pain control, weight loss, quit smoking, sleeping better and anything. Self hypnosis will work on any behavior you want to increase or decrease or change. Some of the  processes may change depending on the issue and end result but the core of self hypnosis, imagination and emotion, is always there.  

 So what do you have to lose? You could continue to think about those worrisome and what if thoughts or you could stop them and create the life you want instead. 

In light,

Art Kuhns
