		<description><![CDATA[You need an image board. No I&#8217;m not talking about 4chan, I&#8217;m talking about the motivational tool creative people use to remind themselves of their goals. Usually this is a piece of pegboard pinned with pictures from magazines centered around your goals in a collage-like way. However we are tech savvy beasts and don&#8217;t want to get glue stuck to our fur. The solution? Use Google Picasa&#8216;s screen saver to display images from a Tumblr blog dedicated to the images that inspire you. Whenever you&#8217;re not actively using your computer your monitor becomes a cornucopia of positive images to filter into your subconscious. Step One- Install Picasa The first thing you need to do is install Google Picasa. Since we&#8217;re only using the screen saver that comes bundled with it, there no need to actually open the program once it&#8217;s installed, much less have it index all the images on your computer. But you can if you want. It&#8217;s a pretty good piece of software for indexing all your images and touching them up. &#160; Step Two- Start a Tumblr Blog This is the fun part. Go to Tumblr.com and start an image blog containing the pictures you&#8217;d like to appear on your screen for your image board. Just re-blog anything you find inspirational. Some good tags to search for are #inspiration, #quote, #gym, #exercise, etc. Another fun thing to do is add quotes to your favorite pictures using an image editing program or a web-based image macro making program. Go wild and let your inspiration drive</p><div class="more-link"><a href="http://hypnobeast.com/all/information/how-to-turn-your-monitor-into-an-inspirational-image-board-using-tumblr-and-google-picasa/">Continue Reading…</a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Inside all of us is a hidden self&#8211;the animal side, the creature side, the part of us that in civilized society we try to hide. However, hiding oneself isn&#8217;t always healthy. Sometimes repressing our instincts are just as troublesome as giving them free rein. Sometimes it&#8217;s necessary to become beast. What if there was a world of beasts where you could give your animal side a chance to breathe. A safe place ruled by a kind and noble king of beasts lies hidden deep within your&#160;subconscious. Could you imagine going there and becoming a beast? What would you look like if you were to see yourself as a beast? Each and every time you listen to this recording the suggestions become stronger and your skills of imagination, visualization and conceptualization increase as well. The word &#8220;beast&#8221; conjures up many gritty, sometimes sensual feelings. Sometimes we forget that we are animals as well. &#160;This short 15-minute guided imagery exercise will help you to get you to reconnect with your beast side and heal the connections deep within. Perhaps the daily disconnect of modern human living is part of the reason people seem to treat their bodies so poorly. We forget about the mind-body connection and treat our bodies as mere vehicles, which usually damages the spirit in the long run. Perhaps it&#8217;s time to really focus on your own thoughts and feelings. Many people are unaware of the rush of adrenaline that comes from&#160;their&#160;daily worries that over time puts stress on</p><div class="more-link"><a href="http://hypnobeast.com/hypnosis-mp3-store/myth-mp3s/become-beast/">Continue Reading…</a></div>]]></description>

I will be switching to subscription model for the podcasts. The most recent one will be free, but to use older ones people will have to subscribe to the site. I've seen this model in a few places and I feel it may work well here. I would really love to do the podcast regularly full-time while adding files to the site. However, I can't really do that if I'm not generating a sustainable income.

Codependent No Moreby Melody Beattie gave me good insights into myself because I grew up in a situation where I became a caregiver and turned into a bitter, resentful co-dependent looking for people to rescue. I saw a lot of myself in this book and it has helped me better understand myself and some of the people around me with problems too big for them to handle. It does, however come from the worldview of alcoholics anonymous and al-anon members and the constant mentioning of her god did start to grate my nerves near the end of the book. There are many scattered gems in the first half of the book, however. Somewhere while listening to it I realized that while others may have broken me the only one that can fix me is myself. Likewise I cannot fix other people. I can only work on myself.

I just started The Willpower Instinct by Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D. and am really starting to like it. The author claims to have evidence-backed methods for increasing willpower. The first chapter has an exercise on increasing willpower through meditation. I’ve decided to incorporate it into this month’s podcast episode. So after my usual rambling there is hypnosis to help you start your own daily practice of meditation.

If you'd like more of this or something different, send us your request!

Any tips on how to make the show better are welcomed in the comments, as long as you keep it positive and sandwich it between two compliments. Why the sandwich technique? Because it keeps blatant trolling to a minimum and keeps me motivated.

Please listen only in a safe stationary environment with your full attention given to hypnosis.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a big fan of audio brain wave entrainment. I used to be someone who couldn&#8217;t relax. Then I discovered the wonderful world of audio entrainment. Now I&#8217;m hooked. Whenever I&#8217;m down or need to relax I listen to audio modulated to a specific brain wave. Yes, I know the brain has multiple frequencies going at any given time and that it&#8217;s probably not one hundred percent accurate or efficient, but it&#8217;s one modality of hypnosis I enjoy. Usually I make my mix tapes and listen to them on my smart phone. If I&#8217;m at home I may try to listen to modulated music on Mind Stereo. However, I also really love Pandora, especially its new age genre stations. And Mind Stereo doesn&#8217;t work with Pandora directly&#8211;it can only use internet radio streams. It was tough, but I finally figured out how to get the two to work together. The trick is to turn Pandora into a localized internet radio station&#8211;one that only plays on your computer. To do this two different pieces of free software are required. The first is Xammp, a mini web-server emulator for your computer. Web developers use it to emulate a web server offline. Out of the box it will only serve webpages locally to your computer only. I like the portable version. The second is a home-brew pirate radio utility called Pandoracaster. Step One: Download and install Xammp. Step Two: Download Pandoracaster and unzip it into Xammp&#8217;s &#8220;htdocs&#8221; folder. Step Three: Start up the</p><div class="more-link"><a href="http://hypnobeast.com/all/information/how-to-get-mind-stereo-to-work-with-pandora/">Continue Reading…</a></div>]]></description>

The basics of spirituality before organized religion can only be guessed at, but we all share the ability to feel that vague spiritual sense.

		<description><![CDATA[Satyrs are creatures of myth that are in tune with nature and sensuality. With horns and legs of a goat but the torso of a man they are at home deep in the wilderness. They are often viewed as barbaric and rowdy, but also enjoy the fruits of civilization such as wine, dance and music. Perhaps they represent a balanced return to nature, acknowledging the needs of the body. Or perhaps they merely represent drunken revelry. This hypnosis is meant to guide you into visualizing yourself as a satyr and then trails off to allow you to engage in fantasy before calling you back waking you up. &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; Preview Name Notes Ambiance This version includes a warm ambient background sound that is modulated with pulses at a theta frequency and is the most effective for deep relaxation.
