Using deep relaxation to make important life changes

The amazing world of neuroplasticity

Scientists now know that the brain is not an unchangeable structure as was previously thought. We now know that your brain is ‘plastic’ and this means you have the ability to learn, unlearn and relearn. This is fantastic news as it means that we are not trapped in all those old habits that we thought we couldn’t change.

The changing of our brains happens with one simple process, the changing of our thoughts. Whatever we focus on will expand and grow. Such a simple sentence but so very important. Watch your thoughts, focus on what you really want, and you will see how inevitably that is what flourishes and grows.

Guided meditation helps to take you to such a deep level of relaxation that you mind becomes more suggestible to new, positive ideas. Once these new ideas are taken on board, and you clearly visualize what your life can be, it’s much easier to implement these ideas in your daily life.

Even 4000 years ago, deep meditation was used as a cure

Using hypnosis/ deep meditation is not a new idea. Did you know that even 4000 years ago the Egyptians created places called Sleep Temples where people could go when they were feeling disturbed? In these temples, special priests would use techniques to guide patients into states of deep relaxation which was thought to cure them of their problems. So really the beginning of using deep relaxation to inspire positive change was the first known physician, the Egyptian Imhotep.

Later in Greece, about 500BC, sleep temples were constructed as places of great healing, where people would be put into a deep state of relaxation to be helped with their problems.
