Conscious Awakening

July 27, 2021/0 Comments/in Jim Montrose, Meditation, wellness /by Jim Montrose

Conscious Awakening, a new online class to expand your development, provide on-going support, and spur your awakening.

I asked myself to take a quantum leap in expanding my understanding and practice of consciousness. To dive deeper and reach higher levels of consciousness and take my meditation from simple stress relief and mental health to expanded awareness, expanded awakening of my innate hidden “soft technologies”, and to live with more consciousness in each and every moment. I embarked on a study of consciousness and looked deeply at my meditation practices.

This is the result the Conscious Awakening Laboratory and Support Group.

In the science of Ayurveda we recognize the value of increasing peace and calm and handling negative emotions which we consider mental ama (or waste products) and employ several methods including the proper use of the mind and meditation to purify the mind and restore the flexibility and freedom of the unencumbered mind. By spending time in meditation you connect to the true self, where the mind can heal itself. Meditation is the direct route which takes you into Pure Awareness and your door to Cosmic awareness and wisdom. Experience it for yourself at our June/July meditation challenge. Join us now!

Recipes from the Ranch

Select Recipes from a week at the Ranch, Jim Montrose Ayurvedic Specialist December 2020
When you come to the Ranch for a weeklong retreat we offer healthy detoxifying food that is intended to help you lose some of the acid of the modern lifestyle and nourish. While most people once they get use to the reduced salt and oil find the food satisfying it is a departure from the over-spiced, salted and high fat content of most people’s standard diet and restaurant or prepared foods. For the many who learn to enjoy the lighter more nutritionally satisfying fare of the ranch here are some ideas for healthier foods and a little festival at the end. Most of these recipes will work for 2-4 people depending on their appetites and whatever else is available. At the ranch we always have Hippocrates soup, potatoes or rice and salad. Enjoy these recipes as my gift to you for the holidays. Join us in February and March for Happy Foods and Ayurvedic Balance and Food to learn more great approaches and recipes.

We also find it is one of the most critical components of a retreat that requires constant practice to grasp and start to adopt as a new habit.

Tapping Course and Tips

Tapping Course and Tips: Dive Deep and release subconscious blocks with Tapping Experts.
Jim Montrose, February 2020

Have you been tapping to release negative emotions, to build new habits and beliefs, to replace outdated beliefs from the subconscious? Using tapping between your sessions at the clinic can help you stay on track; create the new habits, lifestyle and health you want. Tapping is your tool to take control and tailor the life you want. It helps you take the NET work you do here at the clinic and take it to the next level.
I have been expanding my understanding and use of tapping recently and have been reading Nick Ortner’s book “The Tapping Solution” which is really helpful. I have found two processes that are very helpful and am also using an NET question sequence (the eye of the dragon) that has taken my tapping to new heights. In addition, tomorrow Feb 24th Nick starts his 12th annual tapping summit with free talks and lectures on tapping from top experts around the world (read down for a link to join for free). These tools have allowed me to go deeper, pull out the root causes of stuck and negative emotions triggered in my life and you can do it anywhere by yourself.
Tapping Tree
The tapping tree is a great way to explore the layers around current symptoms, responses and emotions you are exploring or experiencing. It was developed by Lindsay Kenny and a nice form illustrating this process is available at

Consciousness, Kora, part 2

November 15, 2019/0 Comments/in awareness/consciousness, Jim Montrose, Meditation /by Jim Montrose

The Kora and little bird affirms the mystical and expands my consciousness to embrace the larger eternal in all of life. I remember its a matter of focus that transforms the ordinary to miraculous. As I explore consciousness and creating “Heaven on Earth” for myself I am surprised and amazed at how easily, yet hard, as it goes against upbringing and societal training, it can be to view what we call reality “what is” from either the contrast or the joy and bliss. My friend viewed the trip around the Kora through the filters of the people in Tibet don’t have much in some cases, it’s a struggle to live in this pristine environment; whereas I saw the Tibetan people as extremely resilient even in the face of aggression, maintaining a joyful, thriving, strong community and keeping their religious practices no matter what, living in partnership in the pristine environment enjoying their work and existence. How we choose to experience the situation (the filters we view the world with) create our experience. Find out more.
