What a lovely book - a perfect starting point for anyone wanting to quiet their mind of daily chatter and focus attention on a positive thought process. I wish I would have had this book when I began my own mini meditations not too long ago. Even if you already have a daily meditation practice, In10tions offers fantastic prompts to find a place in your mind in which to focus and help do away with negative self talk, which most of us have had creep in now and then. With all that we have going on in our busy world, In10tions is a terrific tool to hone in and fine tune our desire for peace and joy in a simple, straightforward and loving way. With ninety prompts for the ninety days of creating In10tions in one's life, this book could be opened at any page to embark on a creative journey toward whatever change we desire. This book will be of benefit for the novice or a seasoned journal writer who is looking to delve deeper. In10tions would also make a wonderful gift for someone who wishes to re-direct areas in their life where they feel stuck but are unsure of how or where to begin. ~ Alicia Garey, Author of What a Blip: A Breast Cancer Journal of Survival and Finding the Wisdom
“In10tions” is a remarkably wise, gentle and loving guide for how to begin a meditation practice. Melissa Escaro is a spiritual explorer and life coach, who, in addition to a daily yoga and meditation practice, has done a deep study of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). Her approach to meditation is fundamentally wide open and non-dogmatic; as she says, “The key to remember is there is no one ‘correct’ way to meditate, you do what works for you.” In her own practice, each day she uses some different key word, such as “Love” or “Faith”, to create an intention, a focus point for the meditation, and then brings her mind back to that word during the meditation from time to time, and “allows the mind to settle.” She also uses full-length intentions, or affirmations, throughout the day, and in this book she sets forth a 90-day course in setting intentions in our own lives, as an aid not only to developing a meditation practice, but as a foundation for all levels of personal growth. The 10 in the book’s title indicates that only 10 minutes, morning and evening, are needed for this course. This is something anyone can do! One example of the affirmations Ms. Escaro uses: “My words of affirmation and positivity create the experiences of my life.” The intention word that accompanies that phrase is “Positive,” which can be repeated throughout the day to remind ourselves of our intention. A brief journaling session each evening is included in the process, which focuses on three questions the author provides for that day, about how we made use of our intention and how we might expand that intention in our lives. One of my favorite parts of this book is the single line in italics at the end of each chapter, which in every case seems to convey a dash of profound wisdom, integrating the affirmation with a higher understanding. In the case of the above affirmation, the line is: “The language we use directs the soul to the destination that we seek.” Powerful writing, I must say. What a delightful and beneficial book this is! I have no doubt that this work will bring about a potent positive transformation in the life of anyone who follows through on the 90-day plan. Heartily recommended! ~ Ram Das Batchelder, Author of RISING IN LOVE: My Wild and Crazy Ride to Here and Now, with Amma, the Hugging Saint
Meditation can seem daunting, and many of us put off starting, or getting beyond a certain point because the compulsive thinking of the unobserved mind makes us feel that we are unable to sit in stillness and silence. In10tions gives you a very simple and structured introduction to meditation, and the practicing of increased awareness in your daily life, using simple and short meditational spaces at the beginning and end of each day, easing you into deeper connection with your inner source of conscious awareness. Meditation is not something separate from your daily life. However when you begin to meditate, just like learning to play a musical instrument, paint, write or dance, you need to put aside dedicated times in which to practice. Whether you are struggling to get started or feeling stuck after months or years of practice, In10tions will be of invaluable help. A primary purpose of meditation is to free us from the dominance of the habitual thinking mind with its negative thought forms that cause fear, depression, and anxiety. These thought forms exist within us as individuals, and are a part of the human collective that have existed for thousands of years. As we awaken we become more sensitive to these old negative patterns, which can make us feel as if we are regressing, rather than celebrate the fact that we are noticing more through our awakening conscious presence. Practicing the daily exercises in the book will help you to break these patterns by increasing your body awareness, and through the practice of conscious breathing. Both are powerful doorways into the present moment, where all creativity and new life takes place. Although the book presents a structured daily practice, this is not fixed. There is freedom, and space between the words, allowing you to adapt the practice to your own needs and specific life circumstances. I found myself revisiting some of the earlier practices as I worked through the book, which occurred quite naturally and without any effort on my part. From a spiritual perspective we are multi-dimensional beings that live in a multi-dimensional universe where everything is an interconnected whole. At your core you are consciousness, and consciousness liberated from negative thoughts brings new - which means creative - life into the world. When we are caught up in the mind we miss the miracle of life that is present within us, and around us here, now. Unaware of our creative potential we miss the opportunities this miracle continually presents to us. In10tions is a way of helping you to realize your connection to that miracle, and to free up the creativity that is inseparable from who you truly are. In10tions will help you set your intention to be at-one with this wholeness. ~ Stephen Pope, Author of Patterns of Creation: Logos and the Tree of Life in the Gospel of John
With compassion and great love, Melissa's In10tions takes you on a journey to a new life by guiding you to replace negative thoughts and behaviors with positive and empowering inner shifts.

This book, along with Melissa, came along in my life at a time when a whirlwind of opportunity was swirling around me. As a therapist and entrepreneur, building a business of holistic healing for highly traumatized individuals, it has been easy to become overwhelmed as the world presents challenges, solutions, and demands. Wanting so much to create a welcoming, effective healing environment for others and to promote the awareness and success of my fellow healers, I found little time for my own centering. In10tions: A Mindset Reset Guide to Happiness reminds us that a simple yet profound approach can reset your life. The brain is a most amazing organ and recent research in neuroplasticity shows us that this center of thought can either program us or be programmed by us, allowing us to overcome the hurts and adaptive responses designed to protect our basic selves from real and perceived hurts. Much of my practice is helping people to undo the programming in their life that no longer serves them, holds them back or seems to imprison them in their pain. Traumatic experience brings about a complex brain response naturally designed to protect from current and future threat. There is increasing scientific evidence that effective therapeutic interventions to manage pain, resolve PTSD and rewrite life stories employ the principles of brain science and neuroplasticity, including NLP. As I read through this guide, I found myself excited for many of the people who come to me – this is a wonderful tool that is easily integrated into daily life and can support as well as guide the therapeutic process. Change takes work and sometimes work in the form of gentle self-care generates compliance and follow through. Simple yet elegant, easy to follow yet quite profound, this guide is a must for the reception area as well as therapy room, as well as the private setting for the healer to recharge and redirect so as to more healthfully continue the vital work that we do. ~ Vicky Primer, PhD, Certified EMDR Therapist
