The Gifts of the East and the Gifts of the West One of the great aims of Meta Hypnotherapy is to integrate the split between body, mind, and spirit. The Great Wisdom traditions of the East focus specifically on the spiritual development of the self through awakening practices such as meditation, yoga, and chanting as a way to connect with the Universe. By accessing these ever-deepening states of consciousness, one is able to experience oneness and even unity consciousness. While the gifts of the West offer us breakthroughs in science and technology and focus on the psychological development of the ego as a way to self-actualization. So which one is the right path to follow? Two Types of Development: Waking Up and Growing Up For so long, we either focused on our spiritual development (East) or we focused on our personal healing work (West). Never before has there been a time in history where we have the opportunity to focus on both our spiritual development and our ego development at the same time as we do now. Waking Up is one form of growth and development that we use in our Meta Hypnotherapy process. Waking Up refers to our spiritual development and how our spiritual development unfolds in ever-greater and wider states of consciousness – from Gross, Subtle, Causal, to Non-Dual states of consciousness. Growing Up is the second form of growth and development that we focus on in Meta Hypnotherapy. Growing up refers to our psychological development from egocentric to ethnocentric to world-centric stages of development. So what happens when you focus on both your spiritual development and your psychological development at the same time? You heal and grow faster in both your spiritual development and your psychological development than you would if you only focused on one – which makes this approach more effective and efficient at catapulting you into your next evolutionary phase of growth and development.
