If you subscribe to the law of attraction, you’ll know that thoughts are a powerful magnet. Essentially, what happens in your mind, shows up in your life. Here, Meditation and Mindset Coach, Jess Heslop lets us into her transformative approach to helping others manifest their best lives.
Reflecting on her journey to becoming a meditation and mindset coach, focusing on empowering others, Jess shares that she and her family left South Africa during apartheid when she was nine months old. “We lived in New Zealand for two years and then moved England, where we settled. We left South Africa with very little money.” Recalling one of her earliest memories, she remembers their first winter in England. “Walking through snow with sandals on our feet (and plastic bags wrapped around them) because we couldn’t afford shoes. All seven of us (my parents and five children) were sleeping in a caravan that someone had generously lent us while my father looked for a job. He got a job as a door-to-door salesman, but when he didn’t make a sale, we didn’t eat anything more than potatoes.”
Her early years were filled with a lot of inconsistency, insecurity and financial hardship. “When I was an adult, I had a huge number of limiting beliefs that had created a life of lack. I hated my job, earned minimum wage, had no money or assets and had low self-esteem – I was lost.” And then there came a turning point: “My then boyfriend, who I really loved, told me he’d been cheating on me for our whole five-year relationship. I was totally devastated. It was the catalyst I needed to make a big change in my life. I saw a therapist and started the life-changing work of reprogramming my old, limiting beliefs into new, empowering thoughts of abundance.”
Jess’s life began to change and she went on to build two six-figure businesses in the space of two years. “Now I earn seven figures doing what I absolutely love and teaching others to do it, too. I do this by using the power of subconscious mind reprogramming and guided meditation.”
Glamour: Your approach includes manifestation, the law of attraction and guided meditation. How do they work together to facilitate personal and professional growth?
Jess: These techniques are all powerful tools in the toolkit for personal and professional growth. Firstly, manifestation and the law of attraction. These principles teach us that by focusing our thoughts, emotions and actions on what we desire, we attract those very things into our lives. It’s about creating a clear vision of your goals and aligning your energy with them. But here’s the kicker – it’s not just about wishing for it; it’s about becoming it.
Glamour: Please elaborate on subconscious mind reprogramming?
Jess: Our subconscious minds hold the keys to our patterns, beliefs and behaviours. Many of these are deep-seated and can hold us back from achieving our true potential. By using subconscious mind reprogramming, we can try to replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones, laying the groundwork for the law of attraction to work more effectively in our favour.
Glamour: How do we access the the subconscious mind?
Jess: Guided meditation not only allows us to access the subconscious, but also helps us to achieve clarity and focus. It’s in this state that we can most effectively visualise our goals and implant new, empowering beliefs into our subconscious. Meditation enables us to visualise our desires. This visualisation, coupled with a deep belief in the possibility of achieving our goals (thanks to subconscious reprogramming), amplifies our ability to attract what we’re seeking, both personally and professionally. In my course, entitled subconscious reprogramming for success, I take clients through this process so they can use it to achieve success in their lives. It’s not just about achieving external success; it’s about transforming from the inside and aligning deep beliefs with your highest aspirations and becoming the most empowered version of yourself.
Glamour: How do you guide people in shifting their mindset to unlock their full potential?
Jess: Recognising and embracing your true value is crucial in creating the success and abundance you deserve. Not enough business and manifestation coaches talk about this. Success comes about when we realise our value. It all starts with the foundational belief that you, just as you are right now, have immense value. It’s not something you need to earn or prove; it’s something you already have and are. We tackle limiting beliefs head-on. We use a variety of techniques including guided meditation, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and hypnotherapy to access your subconscious mind to rewrite the narrative. By identifying and replacing limiting beliefs with empowering ones, we rewrite the code that shapes your reality. This isn’t just tweaking a few surface-level habits; it’s about fundamental changes that unlock your life’s full potential.
Glamour: Could you walk us through the process?
Jess: Think of guided meditation as the vehicle that transports you into the depths of your own mind. During meditation, you enter a state of relaxation and heightened awareness, making your subconscious more accessible and open to suggestion. With the subconscious mind open and receptive, we introduce new, empowering beliefs about abundance and success. This could be through vivid visualisations of achieving your goals, affirming your worth and ability to succeed, or mentally rehearsing successful outcomes in various aspects of your life. The key is consistency and emotional engagement; you need to feel the success and abundance as if it’s already yours. With regular practice, these new beliefs and patterns become embedded in your subconscious. When your mind is rewired in this way, you don’t even need to try hard anymore.”
