When you give yourself a chance to enjoy these web pages, you will have the opportunity to take your life to the next level!
This site is essentially about attraction. Much has been written and recorded about The Law of Attraction lately, but very little of it truly presents a practitioner with a complete formula. There are many roadblocks to success, and though visualization and smiling will take you a long way, they won’t be enough to overcome everything. Peaceful Prosperity is my mission to share with you techniques and principles that will allow you to eliminate all barriers to your success!
From another angle, this is a site of mystic study. The mystic is deeply engrossed in self study… perceptions are examined, re-evaluated, and changed as necessary. Beliefs are not expressions of ultimate truth (ultimate truth can not be contained within beliefs); they are a tool to get the practitioner from point A to point B. The true Mystic uses these and other tools to achieve healing, bliss, insight, and incredible results in the external world. Ultimately, all self study is a form of meditation.
As you take a look around, you will begin to notice that everything on this site contains a meditation. All the pages offer techniques to be used as meditation or in conjunction with meditation. When I speak about meditations I am referring to mind-body exercises that refine/develop awareness and acceptance, or exercises that use those those refined skills to the practitioner’s ends… better health, greater wealth, improved relationships… or just a deeper, heartfelt smile!

In the blog posts and on these pages you will learn how to use elements from guided meditation, mindfulness, self hypnosis, NLP, life coaching, yoga, chi kung, pranayama, deep breathing, martial arts, progressive relaxation, and other techniques to achieve peaceful prosperity, greater focus, and improve at virtually anything (success is often just a matter of getting out of your own way)! You can also learn stress management and how to expand your consciousness! If you’re curious about sessions in person (or if you’re just wondering where the pictures were taken), I’m currently located in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Mindfulness, guided meditation, NLP, and self hypnosis are all mind-body tools that begin with the mind and allow you to transform the mind-body.
Yoga, martial arts, deep breathing, chi kung, pranayama, and progressive relaxation are mind-body tools that begin with the body and allow you to transform the mind-body.
These methods are incredibly powerful!!!
Life coaching is the tool I use to bring this all together for my personal students. It isn’t a necessity, but it certainly allows you to grasp things much more quickly, efficiently, and with more clarity (would you rather swim to the Caribbean, or take a luxury cruise?). When you walk this path, your consciousness will naturally begin to expand, and stress management becomes incredibly easy. When you use these techniques and learn these principles, resistance gradually melts away, and you begin to create your outcomes much more naturally!
Keep in mind, many of these terms are often used interchangeably, and at some point most of these disciplines cross over.
Enjoy the site!
For those who feel interested in learning a little bit more…
Meditation: -noun
- the act of meditating. (I guess this one was pretty obvious)
- continued or extended thought; reflection; contemplation. (this doesn’t really sound like meditation… it just sounds like thinking…which is fine, but if you are going to intentionally engage in thought during your meditation, at least make it directed thought)
- devout religious contemplation or spiritual introspection. (this can be a valuable definition…if we take ‘religious’ to mean ‘frequent’ and/or ‘fully committed’… I feel that ’spiritual’ is an incredibly vague term, and obviously means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. I like ‘experiential introspection’… when I meditate on my experience, I begin to experience something unique, I feel that I have transcended my experience… and thus the meditation becomes what I would call a ’spiritual experience’)
Transcendental Meditaion: -noun
- a technique, based on ancient Hindu writings, by which one seeks to achieve a relaxed state through regular periods of meditation during which a mantra is repeated. (is it only trascendental meditation if you use a mantra? I do use a mantra during some of my meditations, but I think the essential ingredient is something else. Primarily, I would say it is the mindfulness that makes the meditation… and thus during any meditation, with enough mindfulness, one can begin to transcend… the relaxed state is important, however… it is important to develop deeper and deeper relaxation in the mind-body)
Guided Meditation: -noun
- A process where a person is lead through a mental exercise to achieve a given result. (you can be lead through a meditation, by a live person, a recording, a picture, or even your own unconscious mind)
Chakra: -noun
- One of the seven centers of spiritual energy in the human body according to yoga philosophy. (Chakra means “wheel” in the original sanskrit… a chakra is a wheel of energy emanating from the body. When you study Chakras, you can discover how much the energy system of the body, and these energy centers in particular, can affect you on a mental and physical level.)
Clearing: -noun
- To make light, clear, or bright.
- The act of a person or thing that clears; the process of becoming clear. (Chakra Clearing and Chakra meditation are two descriptions for placing the focus on these energy centers to purify consciousness and/or make life better. To “clear” a chakra is to make it light, to break up any stagnant energy in or around the chakra. This is also called “opening” a chakra. The value of chakra clearing is that it typically acts as a great way to get quick results in the “real” world, and each chakra is also its own self contained feedback mechanism. If you feel an unpleasant sensation, or a thickness at a given chakra, then you are likely violating or not living up to the wisdom of that chakra. Clearing Chakras is one of the quickest ways to change or deepen your experience)
Mindful: -adjective (rather than mindfulness, I most frequently use the term ‘awareness’ on this site)
- attentive, aware, or careful (usually fol. by “of”): mindful of one’s responsibilities
mind·ful·ly, adverb
mind·ful·ness, noun
-Synonyms heedful, thoughtful, regardful.
(this is the true basic skill of meditation, and the root of being good at anything. Mindfulness, focus, awarenss, attention, presence… these are all words to help you develop something that is far beyond words)
Equanimity: -noun (I often refer to this as ‘non-judgment’ or ‘acceptance’)
- mental or emotional stability or composure, esp. under tension or strain; calmness; equilibrium.
-Synonyms serenity, self-possession, aplomb.
-Antonyms panic, disquiet, discomposure, agitation.
(this is the element that will add true magic to your meditation. When a person maintains a mental/physical balance, they do not need to react… it is very difficult initially to do this in tense or stressful situations, but this ability develops quickly when you practice diligently)
Mystic: -noun
- one who practices mysticism…. (which leads us to…)
Mysticism: -noun
- a religion based on mystical communion with an ultimate reality. (not bad, but I’ll add a bit more in a moment)
- obscure or irrational thought. (the stigma that must be overcome, at least internally)
- a scientific approach to spirituality where certain practices yield certain results; do the drills, get the skills. (I added this definition to give a somewhat clearer definition of the direction of the site. This is developed and discussed in the post Science, Mysticism, and Spirituality…)
Science: -noun
- a particular branch of scientific knowledge; “the science of genetics”
- ability to produce solutions in some problem domain; (these first two are standard definitions)
- The practice of observation and experimentation to accrue experiential knowledge and deepen understanding
- The deep understanding that “This is only working theory…”; all rules are subject to change. (the second two were developed to give the practitioner a better understanding of how to approach hard to quantify fields, such as ’spirituality’, ‘energy work’, ‘truth’, etc…. though ‘truth’ is the one most people and organizations lay claim to, it is the vaguest of the three)
Sprituality: -noun
- concern with or focus on the vital principle or animating force
(this is the definition I came to in the Science, Mysticism, and Spirituality… series)
Yoga: -noun
- 1 a school of Hindu philosophy advocating and prescribing a course of physical and mental disciplines for attaining liberation from the material world and union of the self with the Supreme Being or ultimate principle. (now this is a powerful definition… any practice of Yoga, guided or mindfulness meditation, chi kung or anytihng else that can keep in mind the goal/attitude described above, can help you to lead yourself in a powerful direction… unfortunately the “material world” piece confuses a lot of people - this isn’t an indicator that you should not enjoy material things, it is directing you toward the realization/experience of your ‘reality’ as a series of signals from your own neurology… signals that you have a great deal of influence over…this makes for a powerful guided meditation)
- 2 any of the methods or disciplines prescribed, esp. a series of postures and breathing exercises practiced to achieve control of the body and mind, tranquillity, etc. (this isn’t a bad direction either, but it is a step removed from the first definition… a few more steps and you reach ‘American Yoga’, which is usually little more than the latest health fad…trendy yuppies and soccer moms attempting to remain reasonable to look at… yoga does not have to be a series of postures or breathing exercises, but these can help quite a bit, particularly the deep breathing… I personally like to add some movement to yoga… it is also fun and useful to blend yoga with your everyday life, just like you would with mindfulness or meditation… if you begin to become more aware of your day to day breathing, posture, movement, and/or physiology, and gradually shift them in a more useful direction, your entire life will become a practice of yoga)
- 3 union of the self with the Supreme Being or ultimate principle. (we have to be cautious of what we do with supreme beings… this definition is really much like the first and very related to the second, but it tends to mislead people much more frequently… the first definition drops many more hints before it gets to the part that loses most people: “the Supreme Being”… )
Most of these definitions came from…
