Creative Alchemy with Melissa Conkling
For spiritually-inclined creatives who are ready to unlock their full potential without delaying their dreams for “some day” using a blend of spiritual hypnosis, manifestation, and creativity coaching.
Dorene joined me Tuesday night for the free workshop on self-hypnosis for creativity. Less than 48 hours later, she posted her experience from the meditation…and that she’s taking action on her ideas already!!
Here’s what she said:

About two years ago, as I began to dive deeper into my spiritual growth than ever before, I discovered that when I allowed myself to get creative and playful with my spiritual practice, my connection grew much stronger. This was when I began communicating with my spirit guides regularly and in a very clear and productive way. I began to trust my intuition more and to actively tune into it more than ever before, rather than just waiting for it to speak up. I also began to feel safe expressing my spiritual side for the first time ever, which allowed me to pivot my business into what it is today.
While I recognized right away that adding creativity into the mix strengthened my spiritual connection, it was a while before I noticed the reverse was also true: As my spirituality deepened, my creativity was ignited as well!
I’ve always been a creative person, so at first it simply felt as though I had a renewed interest in things I had been neglecting for a while, particularly writing. But as time went by and I continued to feed this new creative urge, it continued to grow. Now it has become a fountain of ongoing creative interest, ideas, and action in all aspects of life – in my business, in my writing, and in personal life.
Because of this, it’s as clear as day to me that not only does creativity enhance our spiritual connection, but our spiritual connection also enhances our creativity.
First and foremost, creativity and spirituality are both access from the same part of our mind: our subconscious mind. As mentioned in my previous post about how the mind connects to spirit, the subconscious mind is our bridge to the superconscious, which includes all-that-is, including the spiritual realm and all ideas. For truly inspired creativity, connection to the superconscious is key. This all takes place through accessing our subconscious mind to bring spiritual connection and creative ideas into our conscious awareness.
Next, they both have one big requirement in common: spirituality and creativity both require a leap of faith. When pursuing any creative endeavor, we need to let go of the expectation that it will turn out exactly as we think it will. We need to let go of the pressure we put on our ability to create. And we need to let go of the doubt that holds us back from exploring these ideas in the first place. Just like spirituality! Doubt and expectation of what spirituality “should” be are what often keep us from recognizing our own spiritual experiences. Because they both require faith, it’s also important to throw logic out the window…which is exactly why hypnosis helps with both. In hypnosis, the logical, conscious mind takes a little break from overthinking and allows the subconscious mind to take over, which enhances creativity and our connection to spirit.
And third, both require flow rather than force. It’s as simple as this: when you attempt to force your creativity or your spiritual connection, you are approaching it with your conscious, “doing” mind. You are not connected to the universal source. You are not connected to the superconscious. You are attempting the create the outcome you expect: a good idea or a spiritual experience. And when you go into it with finite expectations, you are blocking the experience you are meant to have and the ideas you are meant to receive. When you access ideas and inspiration from a flow state, you simply become open to the ideas and all you need to do is receive them. Then, once they are received and you acknowledge them consciously, you can explore them further!
By learning to access the power of your subconscious mind, you can learn to enter this flow state easily, connecting you to spirit and creativity deeper and deeper every day. To learn more about this process, check out my new book writing program.
When someone asks me how I’ve built so much trust in my creativity (and in myself!), the answer is easy.
I stopped trying to find the right way to “be creative” and started relying on my intuition and my spiritual connection so I can create what I truly want to create.
I believe we all have our own way to experience our spiritual growth and creativity is often a huge part of this journey.
I’m not a magician, yet my clients and I have…
The one thing behind it all: Learning to use self-hypnosis to tap into the power of their subconscious mind.
The subconscious mind makes up about 90% of our mind power and includes our:
Together, these ingredients give us the clarity we need to create what we truly desire in life, not just what we *think* we should create.

In November 2021, I knew I needed to change things in my life. In fact, I could feel the shift coming, whether I liked it or not. It was, to be completely honest, scary AF. Relationship, Business, Myself. You name it, it was ready for an overhaul.
But sometimes, when things like this all happen at the same time, I get overwhelmed. I freeze and refuse to take action. While it’s not helpful, it’s a fairly common thing…because change can be terrifying.
But that week, I did something different.
For a while, I had been developing my intuition and my connection to my higher self. And not only working on developing it, but I had also been working on taking action on that inner guidance.
One day, during meditation, I received a very simple yet straightforward message:
Listen to your root chakra recording daily.
I had created the recording a few months earlier and listened to it here and there, but far from every day. So, in the practice of action on what my higher self says to me, I decided to give it a whirl.
Each day, I could feel my energy changing. Feeling calmer and more grounded. Feeling more secure and less fearful of the change I knew was taking place.
Day by day, this feeling of safety and self-assurance grew. My intuition and higher self were clearer than ever before. Ideas for my business – and my life in general – were flowing like a waterfall. Until one day, about a week in to listening to that recording daily, I simply knew.
It was time.
And I was ready for it.
Within a day, I had outlined an entirely new hypnosis and coaching program, in an entirely new niche. I began launching it immediately with no hesitation. I ended my long-term relationship that had grown stagnant, unsatisfying, and unhealthy. I began working for a nonprofit that works with trees, which reignited my passion for nature.
So many changes in such a short time.
In the past, this much change would freak my security-seeking Cancer self out big time. This time, it it all came with such ease and just felt right.
I owe it all to these 3 things:
And guess what…my hypnosis recordings played a huge part in all three!
Each of these steps are all incredibly important and they are all very intertwined. It’s a constant evolution with each new step along your path, not a one-and-done kind of lesson. And it definitely is not linear either, like most things spiritual. It’s not as simple as following steps one, two, and three. Most often, it’s helpful to do them simultaneously and repeat as needed.
Having my library of recordings at my fingertips is undoubtedly something I have taken for granted over the past few years.
I know that now.
And that’s why I want to share it with you.
All my hypnosis recordings…and so much more.
Only $27/month.
It probably won’t surprise you too much to learn that I read quite a few books on spirit guides. From well-known mediums like James Van Praagh to relative newcomers such as Yamile Yemoonyah, and all of their different methods, philosophies and experiences fascinate me. But one thing always stands out: for most of them, connecting with their guides came easily. It was either a part of their life for as long as they can remember or it began spontaneously. While honing and understanding their gifts undoubtedly took time and practice, connecting to their guides in the first place always sounds somewhat effortless.
My experience, however, couldn’t be more different. For me, it wasn’t something that just happened as if by magic one night. It wasn’t something I grew up doing (at least not that I was aware of!) And it wasn’t something that came to me as soon as I started trying.
It was something that took a lot of time and effort. It was something that took a lot of trial and error. Above all, it was something that took a lot of patience and persistence. Eventually it paid off…and then some! This is exactly why I know deep down that we can all connect with our guides on our own, without the use of other intuitives or mediums. It’s also why I believe most people are already receiving messages from their guides, but they just don’t realize it yet.
Here are a few tips on how your guides may be sending you signs and what to look for as you begin your spirit guide journey.
For at least a year before I first officially met my first guide, I’d been having glimpses of the same scene during my meditations and intuitive listening practice…a cabin somewhere in the mountains. I could see the gravel path leading up to its front porch and smell the smoke coming from its chimney. I could even feel the brisk mountain air. And it made absolutely no sense. Growing up in Connecticut, I spent a lot of time in the White Mountains of New Hampshire growing up…and I knew it wasn’t there. It was some place new and unfamiliar. I had no idea what to think about these visions and could have easily dismissed it.
Instead, I always noted it down in my journal. When I met my guide Frank, a rancher from Wyoming, the first thing he said to me was that he had been trying to reach me for a while. I immediately knew these visions were messages from him and that this was Frank’s cabin. In fact, in the meditation I used that very first time, it guided me to envision a house somewhere…and that cabin is what I visualized. So I first met Frank in his cabin!!
So don’t dismiss those seemingly imaginary visions you may be receiving!
Callings of the heart don’t need to be huge or romantic gestures. They can be as simply as an unrelenting urge to do something new or that you haven’t done in decades. And so often, these little acts lead us to where we are meant to be next. And they are often planted in our mind by our guides.
The more I began connecting with my higher self, developing my intuition, and attempting to connect with my spirit guides, the more I kept having one thought come up over and over and over again: Get out in nature and be near the water. It seemed to make no sense. And even though I live fairly close to the water, it also seemed irresponsible to focus on that rather than my business. But it came up so often, that I had to follow this nudge.
It wasn’t long before I realized that when I am near the water or out in the woods, my intuition and connection to spirit is by far the strongest. To this day, my most profound connections with my spirit guides have been when I’m out on my morning walks by the water. I now how no doubt that this was a message from my guides to get into an environment where my intuitive abilities are heightened.
Resist the urge to ignore these callings or to put them off for a “better” time – they may be signs from your guides that are leading you to the perfect next step in your journey.
This is definitely one of the strangest, yet most awesome things about connecting with spirit guides. So often, it is as though I suddenly know something I never knew before. It happens a lot. Whether it is recognizing a link between two things that I never saw before, like when I realized how our mind connects with the spiritual realm, or when I’m suddenly able to map out my next book in under an hour, it is clear to me that this knowledge is coming from something bigger than just me. At first, I chalked it up to the idea of “spiritual downloads” people often talk about.
Now, I know it is slightly different than some random idea filtering through my mind unexpectedly. As I’ve learned to trust these knowing and the messages from my guides, I can now ask for specific guidance and know that I will receive the perfect information for whatever project I’m working on at any given time. One guide shared the outline for my entire spirit guide course one afternoon in December. Another gave me the format for the Channeled Writing workshop I ran for my coach a couple weeks ago. And time after time, they guide me on what to share on social media and in my blog on any given day. The information is always clear and concise…and almost always includes concepts I’d never even thought of before!
So when you suddenly know something – and know it’s true deep down – don’t question whether it’s true or not. Instead, trust that it’s a message from your spirit team!
Now, because spirit guides can communicate in so many ways, there are certainly many more things you may have been overlooking…things such as recurring numbers like 11:11 or 3:33, receiving different signs such as seeing dragonflies all over the place suddenly (for me last summer it was deer…I saw them everywhere, very up close and personal!), or recurring dreams. Our guides are persistent, so they will continue to send us there messages until we receive them. They want us to receive them because they are meant to help us fulfill our purpose in life.
So don’t give up and always keep an eye out for what messages you may be missing!
Two years ago, laying on the beach one day, I was suddenly struck with a new Knowing. At the time, I had been focusing my business on Hypnosis for Weight Loss. As my practice grew and my interest in the spiritual side of life expanded, I began bringing more and more spiritual and energetic aspects into my hypnosis program each time I ran it.
That’s when I realized the link between balancing our chakras and reaching our individual ideal size.
I believe each of us had a perfect size where we feel in balance…based on our needs and our life and our body, not based on what society tells us we should look like. Not based on adhering to any rules other than what our body, mind, and spirit knows is best for us.
So, I created an 8-week hypnosis program based on this concept.
But the problem was that I was being pulled in another direction within my business and life. This niche wasn’t allowing me to grow anymore. As my purpose became clearer and I moved into a more spiritual niche, I abandoned this program. And I truthfully haven’t thought much about it in over a year and a half….until a week ago.
Someone I’ve known for a while reached out to ask me about it.
That’s when I realized by hiding this program away, I’ve been doing people a disservice because the body is just as important as our mind and our spirit.
Yes, you are a spirit having a human experience…but that experience is through your body. In fact, while the spirit can live on forever, we can’t live this lifetime without our body. And we all deserve to treat our body well.
So…I’m bringing Empowered Transformation back.
In this self-guided program, I will help you transform your body, mind, and spirit so you can feel like YOU again. 8 weeks of hypnosis that you can listen to whenever you choose and a Facebook community for support.
