As the wheel of the year turns and we approach the Autumn Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, nature invites us to pause and reflect. This celestial event, marking the perfect balance between day and night, offers a unique opportunity to bring harmony into our lives and living spaces. Here’s a powerful home-clearing ritual designed to help you release the old, welcome the new, and set intentional foundations for the season ahead.

In a recent episode of the Sassafras Cast podcast, host Rory Kelly interviewed me, about my practices of deep listening to access inner wisdom. I share insights and techniques that anyone can use to cultivate a richer inner life and get guidance from their own intuition.

In this live spotlight interview with Kryssa Bowman, Pattie Belle Hastings presents the transformative realm of somatic hypnosis and its potential as a beacon of innovation and profound change. With a soulful blend of hypnotic and somatic practices, Pattie Belle guides her clients on a journey to personal change, spiritual growth, and prosperity, offering a deeply grounded experience that connects the physical body to the metaphysical journey of the self.

A couple of weeks ago, I created a Body Scan self-hypnosis audio track for one of my clients during a hypnosis session. If you’re unfamiliar with a Body Scan, it is a common meditative practice that involves “scanning” the body from head to toe (or toe to head) while noticing sensations and emotions. It can also be part of a progressive relaxation technique.

While preparing my new moon rituals, it occurred to me that I could query AI about my chart and the placements of planets and signs. I was quite impressed and inspired by the results and decided to share them with you so that you might access some insights for your own purposes. I submitted the exact same prompt to three different IA resources. If you would like to do the same check out the post. This should work for any Moon phase or astrological event. Have fun!

In this podcast interview with Isha Vela, I’m honored to share one of my favorite tools for money work. Particularly because the subject matter combines two of my biggest passions—understanding the complexities around money and practicing compassionate communication. There’s a lot to unpack here, especially when considering the somatic elements that also play into our relationship with money. Let’s dive in.

So, what if we were to entrain our minds in a purposefully designed media trance? I have found video vision boards far more potent than the paper collage versions we often create to manifest our dreams. Mind Movies are also fun and easy to make. A comment I get over and over again during my client sessions is “This is so much fun!” Yes, it is.

Setting clear and inspiring goals is crucial for achieving success, but many individuals struggle with crafting effective goal statements. Whether you’re creating Mind Movies, affirmations, or any other method to manifest your desires, developing the perfect goal statement can be a challenge. In this post and the accompanying tutorial video, I’m sharing a special process I’ve developed called “Goal Alchemy.”

Unsurprisingly, my mid-year review helped reveal my overconsumption of media and information. It’s been creeping back up since my last Digital Detox at the beginning of 2023, and past experience has proven to me that getting a handle on my media consumption will help reduce info overload, increase focus, and create a healthier relationship with technology. So, I’m kicking off the second half of 2023 with a 30-Day Information Diet which involves intentionally limiting my exposure to excessive information and consuming content more mindfully.

I started the year with massive decluttering projects, and then my workload and caregiving derailed the process to smatterings of effort. With Summer bringing me a renewed sense of spaciousness, I’m ready to return to intensive clutter clearing. My first focused effort will be on digital decluttering. (I heard some of you audibly groan. 😹) I know that making progress in organizing and simplifying my tech life will bring a new level of mental clarity. I need that!

I’ve got a serious case of shiny object syndrome. But hey, no big surprise there! However, fear not, because I've got a plan to get myself back on track. You might like to try this, too. Let's dive into the first item on my Mid-Year Review agenda: The Depth Year.

I travel to amazing places with my clients every week. These hypnotic healing narratives have taken us across time and space. Where have we traveled to reveal and heal? Who were they in that life?

Hey there, metaphysical planner geeks! Here’s a peek at my 2023 Metaphysician’s Day Planner setup. I also show you the final result of my 2022 planners.

Last week I had the honor of presenting a hypnosis workshop to a class at the University of Maine on healing childhood trauma. As part of that experience, I took them on a self-hypnosis journey of gratitude and joy. I was able to isolate the 22-minute audio from the Zoom recording and make it available for reuse. I’m including it here for you to download.
