Mindfulness is about learning to wake up. Do you often find yourself stressed or anxious? Do you feel that your life is a series of challenges with only brief respites in between? And no matter how hard you try, there always seem to be more problems for you to deal with? In our modern fast-paced society many of us feel this way. We can change this with a contemporary form of an ancient practice called Mindfulness Meditation. For centuries, various forms of this meditation have been used not only by spiritual practitioners for stilling the mind and attaining deeper wisdom and enlightenment but by many ordinary people looking for more understanding of and harmonious operation of their minds.

Learn Shamanic Teachings for Personal and Human Evolution: An Online Apprenticeship in the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition
“When we surrender the need to figure it all out, and cultivate the ability to let it all in, then our earth walk becomes a sacred dance of healing service on the planet. More than the world needs saving, it needs loving.”
– don Oscar Miro-Quesada
In today’s industrialized world we are living out of balance with Mother Earth and the world around us. Our modern society is out of touch and no longer lives in harmony with nature. We are seeing an increase in companies and governments indiscriminately using up earth’s resources and contributing to deforestation, global warming, extinction of our animal kingdom, poisoning our waters, and so on. This is causing rampant destruction of cultural and biological diversity as well as profound physical and psychological illnesses in all of humanity.
Through the study and practice of shamanic ceremony and ritual, individuals learn to live in harmony with nature and Mother Earth and her children, the animal, plants, minerals and each other. As one becomes more mindful of how to live more in balance with the world around us, we begin to see a healing of individuals, mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. As individuals see themselves as whole, spiritual beings, they can then direct those energies of healing to Mother Earth, Pachamama. The ancient cultures and civilizations have much to teach us about how to live respectfully and in harmony with the Cosmic Universe that surrounds us in order for our species and our world to not only survive, but to evolve into a higher consciousness of global awareness. For a free discussion of don Oscar’s work and view of reality, be sure to check-out Ep. 25 of the Hemi-Sync® podcast.
This three-week, self-guided online workshop deepens participants’ experience of soul and spirit through ritual process. This apprenticeship workshop initiates participants into the Pachakuti Mesa, a powerful and sacred altar. Students learn how to create their own mesas and work with them for self-empowerment, transformation, and helping others. Students will also work with ancient breathing techniques and traditional ceremony for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health, well-being, and transformation. More than an introduction to ritual practice, don Oscar will initiate you into a shamanic lineage and mystery tradition containing deep gnostic secrets.

How to find greater ease and contentment in the present moment
New and more effective approaches to letting go
What we really mean by “I”
How to distinguish ego from the true Self
Ways to access the wisdom of our inner guidance
The nature of spiritual awakening and enlightenment
How to integrate these practices into our daily lives
Behind all our endeavors lies the desire to be happy, to feel content, relaxed, and at ease. No one wants to be in pain or to suffer unnecessarily. This is our true bottom line. Why then, are we so seldom at peace?
How often do you find yourself worried, anxious, or frustrated, thinking “if only I get through this next event or problem, then I will be able to finally relax!”? But why do the problems never end and the pattern seems to repeat again and again?
We have many responsibilities, our days are busy and hectic, to-do lists are getting longer. But do we really have to live in a state of stress and worry in order to accomplish everything?
Throughout history, there have been those who've discovered a timeless truth about human consciousness: our Natural Mind — our true Self — is where peace and contentment arise naturally and effortlessly. We don't need to do or get anything to find peace of mind. It is just a matter of learning how to return to our true Self. The beauty of this approach is that nothing needs to be changed or eliminated. It is simply relaxing back into our natural state of Effortless Being.
Through guided meditations and exercises, you will learn to discover the joy of living free from worry and stress and find an inner freedom, and peace of mind that is not dependent on events and circumstances of your life. An inner freedom and peace that we can return to again and again.

Charles Tart
Dr. Charles T. Tart, Ph.D., an internationally renowned scientist, author and teacher, pioneered the field of consciousness studies decades ago when he was one of the first Western scientists to promote the study of the physiological and psychological effects of meditation practice. His classic book Altered States of Consciousness made the phrase "altered states" a household term. Currently a Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of California, Davis, Dr. Tart has authored 14 books (three of them on Mindfulness) and more than 250 articles in leading professional journals, including Science and Nature.
Dr. Tart was a Professor of Psychology at the Davis campus of the University of California for 28 years, where he conducted his research and was a popular teacher. In the 1970s Dr. Tart consulted on the original remote viewing research program at Stanford Research Institute, where some of his parapsychological work was instrumental in influencing government policy makers against the funding of the proposed multi-billion dollar MX missile system.
In addition to Altered States of Consciousness (1969) and Transpersonal Psychologies (1975), Dr. Tart's other books are On Being Stoned: A Psychological Study of Marijuana Intoxication (1971), States of Consciousness (1975), Symposium on Consciousness (1975, with co-authors), Learning to Use Extrasensory Perception (1976), Psi: Scientific Studies of the Psychic Realm (1977), Mind at Large: Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Symposia on the Nature of Extrasensory Perception (1979, with H. Puthoff & R. Targ), Waking Up: Overcoming the Obstacles to Human Potential (1986), Open Mind, Discriminating Mind: Reflections on Human Possibilities (1989), Living the Mindful Life (1994) and Body Mind Spirit: Exploring the Parapsychology of Spirituality (1997), which looks at the implications of hard scientific data on psychic abilities as a foundation for believing we have a real spiritual nature.
His 2001 book, Mind Science: Meditation Training for Practical People (2001) presents mindfulness training in a way that makes sense for science professionals, and his most recent book, The End of Materialism: How Evidence of the Paranormal is Bringing Science and Spirit Together, integrates his work in parapsychology and transpersonal psychology to show that it is reasonable to be both scientific and spiritual in outlook, contrary to the widely believed idea that science shows that there is nothing to spirituality.
Not just a laboratory researcher, Dr. Tart has been a student of Aikido (in which he holds a black belt), of meditation, of Gurdjieff's Fourth Way work, and of Buddhism. He has been happily married for more than 50 years and has two children and two grandchildren. His primary goal is still to build bridges between the genuinely scientific and genuinely spiritual communities, and to help bring about a refinement and integration of Western and Eastern approaches for knowing the world and for personal and social growth.
In his latest book, The End of Materialism, Dr. Tart presents over fifty years of scientific research conducted at the nation's leading universities that proves humans do have natural spiritual impulses and abilities. The End of Materialism makes a compelling argument for the union of science and spirituality in light of this new evidence, and explains why a truly rational viewpoint must address the reality of the spiritual world. Tart's work marks the beginning of an evidence-based spiritual awakening that will profoundly influence your understanding of the deeper forces at work in our lives.
In this online course, you will explore methods to activate the power within yourself, achieve inner peace, remain centered and calm in times of uncertainty, and transcend limiting thought patterns.
You will also learn to tap into an expanded source of knowledge and guidance for your life, find tools for initiating personal changes and transformational growth, become more aligned with your life’s purpose, develop your intuition, bring more light into your body, and embrace a trusting, loving approach to living. Here is a description of each exercise that will be included in this course.
Exercise 1—Awakening Through Stillness
Learning to relax our bodies, quiet our minds and center our hearts brings countless gifts to us in the forms of deep inner peace, awareness of our true essence and enhanced connections to others and a greater source of love. By regularly taking the time to get quiet and refresh ourselves, we can generate more clarity, energy and centeredness in our lives.
In this exercise you will start by deeply relaxing your body so that your mind can easily follow. You will then be guided to let your mind get quieter, and calmer. Further into the exercise, you will experience two periods of pure silence, progressing in length, so that you become comfortable with longer periods of silence. It is in the stillness and quiet of our centered minds and hearts that we get in touch with our essential self. The essence of our feelings, wisdom and love. It is often a place beyond words, and it is in this place where the potential for higher transformation exists, the place of centered being.
Towards the end you will receive a memory encoding, which are words to say to yourself at a future time that will help you remember your still and centered state of being. You will then be guided to come back to being awake and alert.
Exercise 2—Equilibrium
By entering a centered state of being in our hearts, minds and spirits, we allow ourselves to remain calm and clear in the midst of change or uncertainty. When we operate from a place of ‘being in the center’, we can draw upon inner strength, access wisdom and respond appropriately in any situation. When centered, we become grounded, and aligned with our intentions. We can bend, flow along or stay rooted where we need to be in response to conditions around us, and we know how to move into our next step.
When in a state of uncertainty about our future, so often our habitual mindset will offer us words, images or patterns based on the past; often the negative aspects or perceptions of the past. We tend to project onto the future what we choose to remember, real or imagined, about the past. These thoughts can then influence our feelings and our energy levels in the present, lowering our vibrations and affecting our ability to remain in a positive mindset. But when we choose to create beautiful and positive possibilities in our minds, we move into a sweeter, clearer and stronger energy state that supports us in manifesting positive life situations.
In this exercise you are invited to enter a centered, loving state of being, and to practice sustaining this as you visit a particular event in your life that brings up feelings of uncertainty. You will have an opportunity to discover your feelings about this event, and then shift to a very positive, empowering perspective by using your own imagination and intentions. You will thereby create a new pattern for yourself, and achieve a state of inner equilibrium.
Exercise 3—The Limitless Self
There are times in our lives when we have touched into and fully experienced life from a higher level of love, awareness and understanding. It’s natural and enlightening for us to rise above and move beyond current perspectives, reactions and behavioral patterns that sometimes limit us. This rising above in awareness is known as a “transcendent” state of being. And the more comfortable we become with this state of being, the more we will evolve in alignment with our soul’s higher path.
The purpose of this exercise is to help you easily shift yourself (your mind and feelings) into an elevated, transcendent state of being—a state that will offer you a greater overview of your life, allow you to connect with your deepest and broadest aspects of self, and enable you to cross a bridge from the physical to non‐ physical states of awareness. This exercise will provide a movement through vibrational levels to help you consciously access more of your true essence, and enjoyment of your highly expanded self.
Exercise 4—Life Path Journey
As we bring the activities and interests of our daily lives into alignment with the truth in our heart and wisdom of our soul, we create a way of living that is full of clarity, richness, generosity and fulfillment.
When we look over the path of our lives from a different, elevated perspective, we often find marvelous well‐ orchestrated patterns placed with exquisite, yet sometimes curious, timing. These reveal to us a greater or higher plan unfolding. Periodically, however, we may feel the call to reevaluate or redirect where our lives seem to be going. We may need to reconsider what is or isn’t working for us, and find ways to align our outer actions with our inner wisdom. This is our spirit’s call to a new level of personal transformation (evolution).
In this meditation, from a centered state of being, you will be invited to experience a broader personal overview, which may help you recognize threads or patterns that exist in your larger life path. You will then explore how to align what is at the core of your being, your place of essential wisdom, love and understanding, with the activities and events you are manifesting in your life. Here there is an opportunity to get clearer about your life purpose.
You will also be able to visualize and help bring into reality harmonious choices and directions for your life which will assist you in creating more fulfilling possibilities for everyday living.

By learning how to use Acupressure points with meditation, you can find peace of mind & enhance your journey to spiritual awakening.
The points open the flow of healing energy to greater enhance your meditation practice and experience.
Michael will guide you step by step how to use key Acupressure points,
Acu-Yoga postures and mudras, hand-specific types of meditations.
Each session is intended to be completed over the course of about a week. In each session, we’ll focus on different ways in which these simple exercises can make a significant difference in your life.
Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the body’s life force to aid healing. Acupuncture and acupressure use the same points, but acupuncture employs needles, while acupressure uses the gentle but firm pressure of hands (and even feet). There is a massive amount of scientific data that demonstrates why and how acupuncture is effective. But acupressure, the older of the two traditions, was neglected after the Chinese developed more technological methods for stimulating points with needles and electricity. Acupressure, however, continues to be the most effective method for self-treatment of tension-related ailments by using the power and sensitivity of the human hand.

Mediumship, or the ability to communicate with beings in nonphysical realms, is an ability available to everyone. Join renowned evidential psychic medium, author and spiritual teacher Suzanne Giesemann as she personally walks you through the required levels of training. She begins by teaching you to learn to recognize expanded states of awareness, reaching deep meditative states, then to raise your vibratory frequency, to make contact with your guides, higher beings and All-That-Is, then finally to fine-tune that connection.
If you have lost a loved one, the healing that comes from mediumship is tremendous. The goal of an evidential medium is to connect with those who have transitioned and to deliver their message, backed with evidence. These messages of healing are accompanied by details of their Earth lives that would otherwise be impossible to know. Furthermore, the realization that consciousness continues for those who have passed can dissolve many of the fears and belief systems that keep us trapped in modes of behavior that no longer serve us.
Unlike psychics, Mediumship allows the practitioner to move past the realm of the departed into the higher planes of guides, angels, ascended masters, Buddha-like beings and infinite intelligence itself. These dimensions interpenetrate our own. For us, this becomes a matter of learning how to shift between realities as a being of light, who is temporarily in human form.
