Date Published: January 09, 2012 What Hypnosis Is
Hypnosis is focused concentration. It is a natural state we go in and out of several times a day. Most people are not aware of this true definition of hypnosis. 
Examples of our natural hypnotic state include:
- Watching a movie and focusing so intensely that you are not distracted by external sensation
- Being at dinner, reaching for the salt and so engrossed in a friend’s story that you stop yourself in mid-reach
- Driving a car and day dreaming
- Reading a good book and not hearing the kids playing in the next room
Another word for theses states of being is trance, and the trance state varies in depth. Hypnosis is a word that has many negative connotations and yet it is a natural and totally safe opportunity to focus inward. A therapist can stimulate the trance state, but only with the individual’s agreement. If you are not in...+ Full Story

Date Published: May 18, 2011 Question: Praying for People
Marcella, My son is going through some crazy growing pains I pray for him so much ... Does this mean that my intentions through prayer will be answered for him?
Answer: Intention through Prayer
Hi L -
Intention through prayer does send out vibration and can help someone to transform, but only if that is the desire of his higher self.
I'm using the term prayer and by that I mean it in any way you choose. Prayer need not be on bent knee - you can walk and pray, speak in tongues, meditate or any other means. Prayer is sending out messages to God/Source/Buddha/The Universe or whatever word you use.
Let's talk about prayer for other people here for a minute. Prayer does effect people and sometimes does not help them if it is not their soul's desire.
We all have our own desired path and lessons we chose to come here to learn.
It is one thing to pray for an outcome and a totally different to pray for the highest good for someone. When praying for a specific outcome, I ask a person's permission before I pray for them. If the person is spinning out of control (i.e., drugs etc.) or in a place where I can't communicate with them physically, I go into a meditative state and ask them at a soul level. If you do this, be content with the answer if it is "no" to let it go.
My most common method to "pray" for someone is to simply focus on the energy of Divine Love (pure source / God energy) sending them this Divine Love energy to use for their highest and best good - whatever that means and however they choose to use it is not my business no matter how much I think I know what's best for them or how much I love them.
And we should also talk about energy. When we love someone so much we often send a piece of us to them. We do this out of love, but unfortunately it does not help them and it doesn't help us. As a matter of fact, it effects both parties. Some of the feelings may include feeling off, depressed, feeling out of control, feeling lost, or incompleteness. If these feelings are occurring, soul retrieval may be necessary. Competent hypnotherapist or shamanic healers or meditations would bet the resource for soul retrieval.+ Full Story

Date Published: May 17, 2011 Question on Karma and Intention
Hi M, I have a question/thought to pass by you. Could the Lords of Karma be intertwined with the random thoughts that float into our subconscious & if tapped create (karmic) experiences? Which is why Intention becomes so important? Marcella's Answer - Intention and Karma
My intuition says there is a flaw in the thinking. Random thoughts don't float into our subconscious. Nothing is random. Our highest self is always choosing what comes in...sometimes just for the experience/lesson. Luckily karma is neither good nor bad! :)))) YAY!
Intention is important. Intention sets the undercurrent of vibration to which each and every action and thought is sent out to the universe. Intention is always being sent out - even when done unconsciously. We can say "I Love You" with a needy or controlling intention and we can say "Stop That!" with a loving intention. People get the intention above all. Some have spent years ignoring what intentions they are picking up making life confusing. Intention is karmic in a way because each and every intention sent out into the universe is what is boomeranged back to us.
In Joy,
M

Date Published: April 27, 2011 From a counseling perspective, of course our past effects our current state of being. Those things in our lives that have traumatized us can create deep long lasting responses. Just as someone who has been  abandoned by a loved one, this abandonment will rise up when a similar feeling occurs in the present moment.
For example, say as a young girl, Lisa’s father left her family or died. This may leave Lisa with a deep fear of abandonment. This fear and hurt if left unresolved will pop up in very negative ways for Lisa. Like if a friend calls to cancel a date, these old feelings may make Lisa overreact or become depressed. So to say the past effects us if left unresolved is accurate and profound.
Believe in Past Lives, or NotNo matter what your belief in past lives is you can still heal...+ Full Story

Date Published: April 26, 2011 Belladonna is a beautiful GLASS KINGDOM picture soon to be released. I had the honor of receiving an advanced copy from the writer/producer, Annika Glac. It is a really exciting love story with interwoven past life memories. I was delighted at the first scene when the voice over is a female Hypnotherapist leading her client through a past life regression. It was beautifully portrayed with some of the same imagery I use in my practice. The main character, Luke, is preoccupied with bits and pieces of spontaneous past life recall. Many of... + Full Story

Date Published: February 14, 2011 Altruism is defined by Merriam Webster as an unselfish regard for or devotion to the welfare of others. But this definition is not complete for me. I like the definition that the Dalai Lama offers.  "Altruism has two aspects. Loving others does not mean that we should forget ourselves. When I say that we should be compassionate, this does not mean helping others at the expense of ourselves. Not at all. Sometimes I say that the [God/Source/Buddhas] are the most selfish of all. Why? Because by cultivating altruism they achieve ultimate happiness. We, in our selfishness, are very foolish and narrow-minded. All we do is create more suffering for ourselves. The selfishness of the [God/Source/Buddhas] is functional and efficient (regarding altruistic behavior). It allows them not only to achieve awakening, but also the capacity to help others. That is really worthwhile. For me, this proves that to create maximum happiness for oneself, one needs to develop compassion, this is Buddhist logic. If compassion induced misery, then it would be questionable. Why practice something that brings us more trouble? But that is certainly not the case with compassion. + Full Story
