When Ego goes ... Healing flows

Your mind and body are connected. It's now known that every cell in your body knows what you're thinking. Your nervous system works electrically and chemically. The chemical messengers are called neuro-transmitters and each cellular structure is linked to the next through these transmitters.

Your thoughts influence the neuro-transmitters. That's the mind-body connection. So, before you experience stress in the body it has to start in the mind.

THE HEALING POWER OF THE MIND
There is overwhelming evidence that much of the illness suffered by mankind results to some extent from stress and emotional causes. The evidence for the reversal of such illness by means of a shift in the psychological make-up (i.e. beliefs, attitudes, etc.) of the individual is becoming equally overwhelming.

Psychological stress, resulting in depression and despair, acts through the brain to negatively influence the body's defence and control systems (i.e. immune system, hormonal activity, etc.), resulting in inadequate protection and breakdown in normal health.
In such a case, a variety of other variables - ranging from inherited factors to nutritional and structural factors - will determine just what parts of the body begin to malfunction.

The reversal of this process, if it is to be effective, needs to begin on the psychological level, thus influencing the brain centres which determine hormonal and immune system function and hence the healing process.

The simple answer then is that hope and anticipation of recovery need to be linked with altered attitudes and reduced anxiety.

The hypnotic state (otherwise known as the 'Relaxation Response') is a specific and measurable state of deep rest in which you literally demobilise or neutralise the stress hormones in your body and mind.

THE RELAXATION RESPONSE:
A unique experience that slows down your body's metabolism, slows down your breathing rate, your heart rate. It lowers your blood sugar, your blood pressure and even slows down your brain waves.

It has been described as a state of scientific rest that allows your body and mind to revitalise and restore itself. In a way it is like re-charging your batteries - and it is also very pleasant and satisfying, even from the beginning and it gets better and better the more you practise.

NEURO LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP)
NLP is the study of how the mind works, how language works and how to think and live more effectively. NLP offers an extensive range of tools, which can instantly be applied to any area of life with great success. It is a technology of achievement for personal enhancement and improvement and you find yourself unconsciously mastering skills without even knowing how. NLP is hypnosis artistry and brings all our unconscious resources into NOW.

We all possess the power of mind to influence positive change in our lives, but sometimes negative influences around us suppress our resolve or ability to utilise that power effectively.  In such instances, NLP Hypnotherapy can be of immense benefit.
