I’m Valerie the creator of HypnoticTrip.com. What are hypnotic trips? They combine hiking, hypnosis and divine inspiration to help you evolve and shift to be your best self.
I have climbed many mountains in my life and have hiked thousands of miles (metaphorically too I might add). 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 have powerful transformations.

And speaking of transformation I hope you are ready to have one b/c part two of this video includes a meditation for releasing anxiety. https://youtu.be/jFOezUnUXHE

Today’s trip happens at The Wichita Mountains near Lawton, Oklahoma where it snowed the night before. I wasn’t expecting the snow and so I was not thinking right that morning when I saw it.

I was on a mission. We drove to Lawton to get footage for this show and the snow was ruining it. I am tellin’ ya…I get thrown off just like the rest of you..

I was trying to roll with it but in the back of my mind the snow was really throwing off what MY PRECONCEIVED idea about what this hypnotic trip was about. And what is funny is the show was already about Positive Thinking. Ha! Talk about being caught off guard.

There was a moment mid-day when I was following Bryan’s footprints in the snow as he, with the excitement of a child, ascended the snowy mounds that I let myself get a little excited about the snow. Then he talked me into going to Elk Trail and as we walked through the icy wonder to the trailhead I realized there was not another soul around, I melted. And I thought about the Beatitude:

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled.

So what does that have to do with Right Thinking? Well, righteousness as taught by Jesus means Right Thinking. It is about making whatever thought you want be something you crave…hungering and thirsting after a thought. In other words, you WANT it badly.

Whatever motivation you have is producing your automatic thinking. Motivation has to do with your desire, your hunger and thirst for what you want. And sometimes we can have an unconscious motivation for a negative thought. Disappointment can cause us to dwell on the thought we didn’t intend. It hits us when we are caught off guard or caught up on something. That is how a negative thought sneaks in and once in, it persists because that is all it can do, until a better thought takes its place.

That is why this beatitude is so hard to do. We can strive to think right (positive) thoughts but if there is a strong motivating factor for keeping us stuck it is very hard to make that change. This may make us feel weak-minded and want to give up on ourselves. But please don’t do that.

The secret is to change the motivation and then we can change our thinking…it started to happen to me when I was awestruck by the peaceful perfection all around me. I got caught off guard my a positive experience and that was a better emotion and therefore took the place of the past negative motivating factor.

If you want to control your circumstances for harmony and happiness you must first control your thoughts for harmony and happiness, and then outer things will follow. We can not think one thing and produce another this would be contrary to the Law of the Universe.

I realize that habits of thinking are the most difficult habits to break and can send us into self-condemnation which produces more trouble. But, if you are truly wholehearted in our efforts that is to say that you are really hungering and thirsting for righteousness, then, you shall be surely be filled with goodness.

My gift to you is a walking meditation https://youtu.be/jFOezUnUXHE so you can find a more positive motivating factor that lines you up with right thinking and then right actions…keep in mind you really really have to want it…hunger for the good, thirst for the good…get emotional about what you want to create.
