Free the mind with Repatterning Hypnosis™


Repatterning Hypnosis
is a method I founded that combines hypnotherapy, Buddhist principles
, East/West healing techniques, shamanic methods and neuroscience. 

With Repatterning Hypnosis™ many find relief from a wide variety of issues including: fears, habits, anxiety, self-esteem issues, chronic pain.. Most issues can be resolved in a short amount of time. Blocks and stuck places are re-experienced, released and transformed. Clients experience a catharsis or shifting to a new way of being.


Hypnotherapy does not have to be centered only on problems. Some clients are interested in experiencing past life regression in order to help integrate their life experiences. Or, they want to explore how to better understand the guidance they receive in dreams.  And, some wish to create a personal mythology to make more sense of events or repeated themes experienced in their lives.

Call 510 809-6575 today for a complimentary 15 minute consultation. I would love to talk to you. Or, if you prefer, email Yana
East Bay hills location, in close distance to Berkeley, Oakland, Albany, Richmond and El Cerrito. Phone appointments and SKYPE for those living outside of the San Francisco Bay Area. For more information, visit website.

Khandroma, Tibetan for dakini.

In Tibetan, the word for Dakini is khandroma (spelled mKha-gro-ma.) When used as a personal name, it is Khandro, pronounced as written in English.  In Tibetan liturgy, it is pronounced kha'dro
In Tibetan, the mkha' syllable means sky but also ether, or space, and space in the context of Buddhism is related to Emptiness. That term can be understood to refer to the potential for Enlightenment inherent in sentient existence. The  dro part meaning moving or going, in the same context connotes mastery in the sense of "knowing with complete understanding."  The ma ending is a female indicator.

The heavenly realm or "pure land" of dakinis is called Khechari.
Dakinis have been explained as "emanations of Enlightened Mind" but here is a further sense, since to possess "enlightened mind" is another way of saying, "holding the bodhisattva commitment." It can connote the wish for enlightenment not for one's self alone, but for the benefit of all sentient beings. To read more about the dakini, visit Khandro.net

Milk of the Snow Lioness

The following story was once told to me by Lama Tsering Everest:

You cannot collect the milk of a snow lioness in an ordinary bucket. The milk of a snow lioness is really extraordinary because she is a very special kind of mythical and powerful magical being that doesn’t really exist totally in our world and yet sometimes occur here. The milk of a snow lioness is very, very sacred. But, even if you could get to a snow lioness, get to her milk, you couldn’t keep it in an ordinary bucket. It defies the molecular structure of an ordinary bucket and it would seep right through the metal. So, they say if you want to collect the milk of a snow lioness, you have to have a bucket made of jewels. Then you can collect that kind of precious essence. Its the same with the dharma. If you want to collect the precious essence of the dharma, which can open for you the essence of your own mind and cause the conditions that can benefit you and others, then you really have to come with a pure heart. Not just for yourself but for everyone. And expand your mind and expand your heart in as great a way as you can to collect the milk, that you can taste of it and others can taste of it.
