Self doubt undermines our ability to make decisions, step forward in life, and express our natural talents and gifts. This guided meditation helps you release self doubt and the fear of making mistakes, and offers a template for success. In the program you’ll inhabit an ideal setting for accomplishing your goals, and receive the love and encouragement of a circle of supportive friends. You’ll also connect with a “super coach” - someone who excels at what you aspire to, and believes you can as well.

Patience allows us to meet challenges peacefully, get along easily with others, accomplish long-term goals, and enjoy life. With patience, we can handle bad drivers and computer glitches without tearing out our hair, master a musical instrument, or raise a child with our sanity in tact. But early on, most of us also absorb a variety of negative patterns and beliefs that undermine our patience. Use this guided meditation to uncover and release old programming, and bring patience and peace into your most challenging situations, and all of your life.

Unload your worries, and send them away for good. Then re-envision your life, worry free. Worry much? Worrying casts a dark shadow over everything in our lives. And it’s often a pattern so deep in our unconscious mind that we hardly notice doing it. We all know that worrying does absolutely nothing to help us. But what it does do is keep us from enjoying life, keep us from recognizing opportunities, and keep us in a state of mind that tends to attract more things to worry about. It also leads to depression, and makes us not so nice to be around.

Do you experience moments of paralyzing fear, panic, or anxiety that are out of proportion to situations at hand? When fear takes over, it impairs our judgment, makes us miserable, and causes us to make poor decisions. This program offers an effective way to reduce your fear and approach life in a clearer, more fully present and comfortable way.

Let go of the past and build high self esteem. Use this program to let go of the past, and develop high self esteem! Self esteem is all about the way you value, appreciate, and treat yourself. If you truly believe, without a doubt, that you’re a good, worthy, and deserving person, then you’ll tend to attract people who will value and appreciate you, and treat you well. But if you believe on some level that you are bad, unworthy, and undeserving, then you’ll attract and opt into situations where you’re treated indifferently, or worse.

Release painful feelings, and grieve in your own timing. It’s common to feel as though we have unfinished communication with the one we’ve lost, either because we’ve lost them suddenly, or because there wasn’t a good flow of communication with them when they were alive. In this tender guided meditation by Max Highstein, you’ll have the opportunity to meet with your loved one, say whatever you may need to say, ask your most important questions, and hear and receive what your loved one has to share to you.

Stress reduction is easy with this guided relaxation program. The gentle narration and soothing ocean waves will have you feeling relaxed in no time. First, you’ll find yourself walking along a tropical shore on a warm summer day. Soon, you’ll come to a comfy lounge chair and settle in to listen to the waves. There, you’ll enjoy a full-body relaxation, from head to toe. And then you’ll be led through an easy, enjoyable breathing relaxation to help you settle in still deeper. This program is all natural, with no side effects other than feeling very, very good.

Judgment prevents us from giving and receiving love. It robs us of the ability to experience real compassion. And, it keeps us isolated, lonely, and stuck. Intuitive guide and spiritual facilitator Max Highstein explains where judgment comes from, what it does, and how we can stop doing it. Then he leads listeners on a powerful, deep guided imagery meditation that provides the structure and focus to help you make a shift, release judgment, and open to love.

Bitterness is a state of mind that colors the way we see others and ourselves and limits our potential for loving relationships. When we are repeatedly injured or beaten down by life, we adopt a bitter, cynical, and pessimistic point of view as a way of protecting ourselves from further disappointment. But at some point, we have to reopen to the possibility that the world is a good place. With expertly crafted narration and evocative background music, this guided inner journey enlightens, encourages healing from within, and helps us chart a new, more positive course.

Feelings of shyness are based upon deeply held beliefs that others won’t like us, won’t understand us, that we have little in common, and if we reach out, we’ll ultimately be rejected and hurt. But everyone can learn the simple skills of listening and talking to others, and with a little practice, shy people can learn to reach out and make new friends. This guided meditation will help you get over the initial fear of connecting to others by visualizing yourself in social situations, easily meeting people, and enjoying the results.

This program, designed for those serious about making positive changes, helps us go deep within and establish new programming. The guided imagery in Positive Thinking introduces two techniques that are simple to learn and use and draw upon positive imagery from your own life that's already meaningful to you. If you've wanted to make changes and think more positively, but find yourself stuck in a rut of negativity, this program can help you.

This guided imagery meditation, with soft ocean waves and gentle narration, takes you on a morning walk along a secluded beach. Soon you meet a dear old friend, loved one, or significant figure in your life who's come to assist you. Their unconditional love toward you helps you open your own heart, explore anything you've held against yourself, and release it. As you sit watching the waves, your own inner child appears on your lap, ready now to receive the kind of healing and reassurance only you can provide.

If anyone has ever told you to "lighten up", you know how unhelpful that suggestion can be! But being hard on ourselves is a serious problem that bears looking into. It keeps us unhappy, makes us not much fun to be around, and tends to keep us from being successful - or enjoying success even if we have it. But as with many negative patterns, this one is often unconscious, so it's difficult to get a handle on. That's what this program is all about - bringing that pattern to the surface so you can recognize it and giving you tools to release it.

Do you carry around guilt for something that happened - something that you can’t do anything about? Carrying guilt, for whatever reason, does you and everyone concerned absolutely no good. In this guided meditation you’ll have the opportunity to fully release guilt from the past and free yourself. Use this program to forgive yourself, let go of the past, and move on with your life.
