The many small choices we make every day determine our future. This program is about helping you connect inside to the place where good decisions and positive choices are made; small choices that over time produce big results. Using the guided meditation in this program, you’ll learn to tap those resources, override negative eating habits, and establish new, healthy ones.

Healing light, streaming down from the heavens, is forming itself into a perfect ball just above your head, golden-white with flecks of rose, emerald green, blue, purple, and violet. Invite The Healing Light into your body, and allow it to help you relax, transform, and heal from within.

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.

Prayer and meditation are cornerstones of spiritual life. But how can we transcend “rote” recitation, and experience more of the true connection to God’s love that we seek?

In this guided meditation, with gentle narration and soft background music, you’ll set aside your daily cares, and meet with Jesus, Mary, and all the Saints and Angels who help bring us God’s love.

When you’re feeling yucky - whether for you that means sad, angry, fearful, guilty, hurt, or some other flavor of yuck - it’s like living under a dark cloud. You may have assumed that once the cloud sets in, there’s nothing to do but hope and wait until you feel better. But that’s not the case. Clearing is the process of releasing any kind of negativity around you or within you and getting back to yourself. Once you know how to do it, there’s nothing stopping you from giving yourself that clean refresh whenever you need to!

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.

If you've ever felt an inner connection with Francis of Assisi, or would like to experience one, this guided inner journey can help awaken that connection within you. Take a walk with Francis through a meadow by a mountain stream, pray with him, and receive his blessing of love. A relaxing and peaceful meditation that will leave you feeling touched with grace.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Use this guided meditation to tap the power of prayer for your own healing, for resolution of any situation you may face, or to relieve suffering of any kind. Journey into the heavens to a temple of light, where you'll meet with angels, masters, healers, and loved ones, waiting to channel love from the Creator into you. Receive their grace and their messages of peace and healing. Then receive God's love directly within your heart, as the Creator reads your deepest prayers and responds with grace for your highest good.

In Sacred Stillness, you’ll visit the high desert, and experience its mystery. You’ll walk a well traveled path to a hilltop, where your campfire is waiting. There you’ll make an inner connection with a raven, become entranced by his sound, and see the world through his eyes. You’ll have an opportunity to pose any question, and find the answer within. Connecting with deep inner peace, you’ll also project that feeling forward to your future self, to move through your next challenges with ease.

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.

Engage your mind-body connection to release or reduce your pain with this gentle guided meditation. In this healing meditation, you’ll invite your pain it to communicate to you about its reason for being. It may have new information for you about your body, your feelings, your relationships, your life, any of which may be contributing factors. Once it has an opportunity to say what it’s been trying to tell you, it may no longer serve a purpose. That’s when you’ll apply the imagery in this program to make it dissolve and disappear.

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.

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.

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.
