Your car could be a place where you automatically become peaceful, relaxed, and attuned to your higher consciousness. In other words, a stress-free sanctuary. With this program, you'll create such a space in your automobile and learn how to tap into it the moment you begin driving.

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.

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.

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.

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.

How do you feel about your body? The way you see yourself, and your attitude about your body, greatly influence your self-esteem, your emotional well-being, and even your physical health. If you’re interested in improving your health, recovering from illness, losing weight, or becoming more fit, never underestimate the importance of your body image. And if you struggle with an eating disorder, you’ll want to pay especially careful attention to this issue.

Whenever we experience events that are overwhelmingly painful, part of ourself is left in the past, unresolved, almost in a kind of suspended animation, until such time as we’re able to heal and release the pain. Carrying the memory of a traumatic event is a bit like living in a house with a room that’s closed off. We never want to enter that room because of the painful feelings it holds, but we can’t clean it up and remodel it without going through the door.

Sometimes we fail to see the gifts surrounding us, looking everywhere else. An outside perspective can change our view. In this gentle meditation, an encounter with a deer brings us into an enchanted state where we can see the beauty in our lives, and appreciate all we've been given. This program uses guided imagery to lead you on a quiet walk along a forest path, another world...

Everyone goes through periods of sadness now and then. But when we get stuck in ongoing sadness or depression for more than a week or two, it’s time to do something to break the spell. Guided imagery offers a safe, natural way to let go of sadness and open to new possibilities. It can help us make a shift, leave the past behind, and start moving forward again.

How's your inner child doing lately? It's true that tapping into the five-year-old part of us can help us heal and become a happier adult. But it also opens the door to free flowing creativity and joy! In Your Inner Child's Story, you'll sit with your inner child and look at a picture-book of your life. As the scenes unfold, you'll talk together about your deepest concerns, and provide kind, caring support and encouragement. This is a relatively short but very powerful, very nurturing meditation.

It helps you consider the steps you’d need to take to correct the problem. And most importantly, it shows you how to operate in clarity and protection from your own center.

Your mother shaped your opinion of women and showed you what to expect from them. If your mother instilled anger, fear, or sadness in you, that can infect all of your relationships. But we don’t have to continue to carry negativity toward our parents. And we can never fully come into our own without first letting go of those feelings. It’s important to keep the positive memories but release the negativity that might otherwise darken your relationships with women going forward. This program will help you do just that.
