Are You Struggling With An Addiction?

Step One is the Brave First Step onto the Path of Recovery and The Foundation of a Beautiful Rebirth.

This course will support you do a fearless and thorough step one, which is the most important step. It will support you with your journey of acceptance and surrender, packed with reflections and exercises to help you see your addiction and its consequences clearly. We break down any denial and look at triggers and feelings which will help you understand what could cause a relapse.

You will be supported and guided to find strategies to cope with craving and difficult feelings and situations. You will find beautiful writing to inspire you when things seem too hard, and a relaxing hypnosis to soothe you if you are suffering.
Do you struggle to find inner peace? Do you have anxious thoughts, cravings, or a critical inner voice that beats you up? STORY – When I first learned to meditate twenty years ago, I was in a rehab centre, and could not take a breath without thoughts of shame and self-hatred. I could not stop the racing thoughts and cravings at all. Over the years, I studied and practised and I learned how to still the mind and relate to thoughts differently. These skills and tools have saved me from relapse and saved my life, improved my self-esteem, and removed cravings, anxiety, and self-obsession completely. Transforming the mind has transformed my life, as we experience everything through the mind. If I can do it so can you, even if you believe that you can’t meditate because your mind is special and different!

  • "How can I thank you? I have been quite ill for three months, depression, suicidal, hospitalized, traumatized, yo u name it. Your voice was like an angel. I believe in angels and I was sent one today. You did make a difference in my thinking. May you be blessed always." Sharon B

  • "I was feeling very suicidal and depressed yesterday, had to listen to it twice but really helped thank you so much." Sed

  • "I have been in a terrible state of depression for several months now...I started listening to this a few days ago, and I can't believe how wonderful it is. Your voice is very soothing and nurturing, the text is well done as is the sound. It has helped me relax, re-frame my thoughts, and help me fall asleep. It feels like the first step in the healing process. Thank you. You are making a difference in many lives." Caroline T.

  • “These meditations are changing my life! I've done it daily for nearly 2 months now and am gobsmacked by how transformative it is. Also your version is one of the best I've found. It encourages me to really throw myself into meditating and i guess you get out what you put in. Cheers. Peace ” — Gabriella C

  • "This is probably the only thing anyone has ever said that brought me comfort during a depressive episode. Believable and profound. Thank you!" Sinister Kitty

  • "Soooooo happy I found your beautiful words of encouragement. THANKYOU for being that glimmer of hope in this darkness.❤" Annie F

  • "This changed my life. Thank you." FYS

  • "This really is great thank you! This is the only one I've ever found where you actually acknowledge the constant objections the miserable depressed mind makes every step of the way and challenge it to just simply and knowingly try something else... That is so powerful... Normal hypnosis recordings for me have the opposite of the intended effect, because my mind rejects every positive suggestion as bullshit, yet here you give voice to the negative thoughts and offer another way... I love it! Thank you!!" Rhresources

  • "Thank you for being a angel in this universe to understand we need more people like you" Eunice C

  • "i really appreciate your hypnosis videos, your voice is really soothing and feels like a friend is speaking to me , thank you for making these videos and i wish life rewards you in return for helping others overcome pain in their life" Ilum88

Change Your Mind, Change Your World

What I am passing on to you could save your life, and will definitely improve your quality of life. Almost all of our suffering is created in the mind, and we can become free from suffering. If your own mind is causing you pain, anxiety and distress, these tools are tried and tested for millennia and have led millions to freedom. They worked for me, and all I want to do is to pass on the precious blessings that meditation and liberation have given me, in a way that will save you the years of struggle I had to spend to learn what I now know. What I am offering you in these courses, are the fruits of two decades of study and practice, distilled into easy to follow lessons which begin at the beginning and end with awakening and liberation.
