Meditation Standards

Meditation is a simple mind-body exercise that quiets the conscious mind of its usual operating “chatter.” Techniques allow participants to naturally alter brainwave states, which in turn affects access to various levels of mind and awareness. It is used to access more complex functions of the mind, including the super-conscious creative mind and also the sub-conscious mind-body. Ultimately, many people recognize the existence of a human spirit, in the form of the super-conscious creative mind that is not dependent upon the physical body for its existence.

This approach is free of religious dogma so this material is suitable for people of most faiths desiring to strengthen their own awareness of and personal connection to their preferred sacred source. Sacred source may be “God/Goddess” or any other manifestation of the One or Great Spirit, but more universally refers to our collective conscious awareness of all beings and manifestation beyond our individuated Selves. Because our meditation standards are universal, yet respectful of each individual’s personal choice, this provides a powerful means for anyone seeking greater awareness and mastery of universal principles.

The Alohem Method (pronounced AY-low-heem) is used in all my workshops and retreats and works in the following way:

• Members are comfortably seated in a circle.
• The Facilitator leads a guided meditation lasting 15 to 40 minutes.
• When the cycle exercise is complete, participants take time to assess and reflect on what they just experienced.
• They have an opportunity to share any reflections within the circle.

We learn from each other. This allows everyone to benefit both from personal experiences and also from that of others. First-time meditators are often surprised at how much they really know and can perceive.

Further, the Alohem Method is specific in that:

• One is not told what and how to experience revelations within any given exercise,
• The method focuses predominately on intuitive awareness for its primary success,
• It effectively draws participants into alpha and theta brainwave states,
• This method reliably connects to conscious beings beyond ourselves; the basis for telepathy and prayer.

The most meaningful results allow spontaneous, intuitive awareness to first engage our mind’s experience, and then to engage our rational-mind faculties to organize this information for personal and practical application. In other words, this is a non-judgmental approach to stimulating your creative mind potential and you decide how best to use that information.              

Participants have an opportunity to safely connect with and learn about other conscious beings within the greater universe. For example, participants meet their personal guides, as well as angels, earth elementals and multiple levels of benevolent beings. Acknowledgement of one’s superconscious mind, or spirit, is essential in this process for this is the center of one’s true creative intelligence.

This discipline was developed by guru and Alohem Center co-founder, Dr. June d’Estelle, whose pioneering doctoral coursework in Transpersonal Psychology was the basis for her program development since 1975. By 1986 she co-founded Alohem Center for Transformational Studies, educating students on how to alter brainwave states naturally, without external aid. Since then her methods have been taught and used successfully by thousands of students. Dr. d’Estelle retired in 2010 at the age of 90 and her work carried forward by her daughter, Carole Glenn, and veteran members of Alohem Center. As a non-profit, Alohem Center closed its doors in 2023 but Carole continues June’s legacy under Alohem Transformational Seminars out of Poulsbo, Washington.
