HYPNOTIC TRIP: How to stay focused on your intention and goal.

I’m Valerie the creator of HypnoticTrip.com

What are hypnotic trips? They combine hiking, hypnosis and divine inspiration to help you evolve to be your best self.

I have climbed many mountains in my life and have hiked thousands of miles. What I know is that when you are on a hike you are in hypnosis, you are in a trance and in that state you are poised to experience a transformation. Today’s story tells of such a transformation: mentally, emotionally and physically.

And takes place at Big Cedar Wilderness in Dallas County where Lori shares how she stayed focused on her goal to do 10,000 steps a day and in the process learned a lot about Intention.

Now, on to Big Cedar Wilderness. Or Watch on You Tube

So, in January of 2020 she set an intention to walk 10,000 steps a day which she did for 101 days, until she got a sinus infection, but as soon as she was well she restarted and committed again to 365 days and got to 301 days. Since she did 101 and then 301, NOW her goal in 2021 is 501 days in honor of her loving father who passed away in February.

We met at Big Cedar Wilderness area to hike and talk about her experience and our first stop was her favorite spot which is the tree that chose life over death. And it demonstrates what it looks like to NOT GIVE UP.

Some days it is a challenge to get the steps in…she gets in maybe 20-30 minutes on a trail and then parks further out in the parking lot and takes the stairs and sometimes when she is home from work she has to walk around the neighborhood before dinner.

Sounds like a lot, but…..Intention can snow ball…it starts rolling down the hill and then builds up mass…then it is unstoppable. Lori has that unstoppable momentum because she is enjoying the benefits of walking..the sunshine which is immune boosting and the fresh air…she finds that she has more energy and feels stronger and as a side bonus has released about 85 pounds so far.

Lori is so mindful and appreciates the little gems she finds along the trail, that kind of appreciation creates a fondness for nature. Nature tends to wake you up to the simple pleasures. And has messages, like the tree that chose life over death. The tree that didn’t give up, just like Lori.

When I say the word MEEK, what comes to mind? In a random poll I found that people think being meek means everything from calm, timid to unpretentious. So, what does the MEEK really mean? In the Bible, Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth and,

According to my favorite resource, Emmett Fox in his ‘Sermon on the Mount’ book, Meek means to have emptied yourself of all preconceived ideas and habits of thought. To have an open mind and faith in God (or your higher power). You probably know by now that what you think about you attract. If you knew that meek meant that then you could say that Lori is Meek and further the earth she inherited is the good health and vibrant energy that she puts into the service she was called to do. She has an open mind and a faith in God to meet that goal.

It is unusual for someone to get thrown off a goal and to get back and set a harder one…most give up. But Lori opened her mind to a new possibility and believed she could accomplish it. she pushed out all doubt and therefore inherited the earth…manifested her desire is another way to say that.

Remember this: manifestation is the result of cause and all causation is mental Fox states in his book, “all of your affairs, home, business your body all of your experiences are but the manifestation of your mental state.” So the Meek truly can inherit the earth.
