• to organize your priorities, for instance by creating the most effective to-do lists and other plans.
• to modify your diet to improve your health (for instance, by losing weight) reliably and without pain.
• when you feel the need for guidance about your daily concerns from your higher self — for instance, for decisions and questions for which the yes/no responses of a pendulum don’t provide the intuitive nuances you need.
• for reviewing humdrum, ordinary plans that don’t excite you very much.
• to plan letters, blogs, projects, and other things where you’re blocked and you just don’t feel any motivation to do things that you know you should do.

Free Trance Downloads that Will Eventually Be Apps

You can also download any trance meditation recordings in my shared Google Drive folders for free. You can view and download these recordings using the following link. This takes you into the main folder. In the main folder, there are several subfolders, as described below.

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzyTmCMYaZp7eUtnaVQtVUJWelk&usp=sharing

You may download these until I create some trance apps. The trance apps will also be free on the internet, but they’ll be better than these.

In the apps, you’ll be able to customize all of your trance experiences by choosing from a variety of trance inductions and relaxation intros for any trance app. The apps will also guide you more gracefully through the preparation steps for each trance.

There will be 180 or more trance apps. That is to say, I have written plans for 180 apps, but I seem to keep making more as I go. On the Joyful Wisdom Journey website, you will be able to easily navigate to the exact trance meditation that matches your exact needs, goals, problems, and aspirations.

Please check back regularly. I’ll be adding new recordings to each folder and new folders as well. Bookmark this page to keep up to date with the trance recordings available, and use the other apps, too.

That’s also the best way to know when I turn these recordings into apps.

(FOLDER) Tune In to an Important Person in Trance by Shape-Shifting

Practice the trance exercise “Tune In to the Important People in Your Life by Shape-Shifting” when you want to deeply understand a person, a chakra, a group, a nation, or a species from the inside, rather than simply understanding it conceptually. It will help you to crystallize what you can learn from this person on the deepest level through meditating on them. Use it to understand an unusual emotional reaction to a person in your life, in fiction, or from a movie.

In this folder, you’ll see two files:

• (File name: COMPLETE–TuneInImportantPeopleShapeShift26_55.mp3. This is 26 minutes and 55 seconds long.)
  (File name: TuneInImportantPeopleShapeShift24_15.mp3. This is 24 minutes and 15 seconds long.)

The longer one–the one marked “COMPLETE” is similar to the shorter one, but it also includes a brief tension/relaxation introduction. Use this version to make sure that your tension does not interfere with your experience. If you’re generally a relaxed individual, use the other one. Both versions use a trance induction that’s in a different folder called, “ShapeshiftingStabilityAgilityIntuition16_16.mp3.” The two recordings fit together very well.

(FOLDER) Relax Tension and Stress

Use the stress-buster exercise “Eliminate Tension by Reinforcing a Habit of Relaxed Living” to tone and relax all of the tension in your body, and at the same time, inoculate yourself against having it come back. Use it to understand what it is that you do that causes your tension so deeply that you can easily stop creating this discomfort that you so skillfully create for yourself. Use it to cultivate a habit of living in a relaxed manner by clarifying and augmenting your motivation, thus bringing about change easily and joyfully. (File name: EliminateTensionReinforceHabitRelaxedLife8_55.mp3. This is 8 minutes and 55 seconds long.)

Use the stress-buster exercise “Relax Your Body by Clearing It with a Beautiful Disk of Energy” to invoke positive chi energy to release the negative causes of tension in your body. Use it to heal your emotional and spiritual reasons for tension and to bring peaceful healing energy into your entire body. Practice it regularly to balance your chi energy, while simultaneously releasing toxic attitudes and wounds from the past. (File name: BeautifulEnergyDiskRelax9_37.mp3. This is 9 minutes and 37 seconds long.)

(FOLDER) Trance Inductions for your Own Suggestions & Programs

Into this folder, I will eventually put some instructions for how to use trance without a recorded program. In the meantime, you can use the trance instructions that are there in whatever way seems right. Follow your intuition. Some of these inductions are valuable meditations in their own right, such as the Shape-Shifting induction.

You can use the lengthy trance induction “Enter Trance by Shape-Shifting Your Energy” to access your intuition in a neutral way, when you know that you might otherwise distort the intuition because of your biases; as a trance exercise, this induction helps you to break free from your personal ego and habitual point of view. In addition, use it to learn to improve yourself by taking on qualities that you admire in others, as well as awakening qualities and faculties that lie dormant within you. (File name: ShapeshiftingStabilityAgilityIntuition16_16.mp3. This is 16 minutes and 16 seconds long.)
