Healing Within Hypnosis with Tina Taylor

The mind has enormous power over the body, which is constantly influenced by our emotions, thoughts and beliefs, even manifesting themselves physically. For year doctors have accepted that psychosomatic illness can cause disease and stress is now accepted as a factor in various medical conditions and can lower our immune system.The body - mind responds to vivid images ''as if'' they were really happening, when you imagine hearing or seeing an object part of the brain registers it ''as if'' it were happening. Words too have a powerful effect on the human mind and body. In the 70's the Simontons pioneered the use of guided imagery, working with people with cancer, their patients were first given suggestions for relaxation and then guided through visualising their blood cells fighting off the cancer cells. They found that many of their patients symptoms improved and they had many cases of spontaneous remission.Patients who are anxious and worried about their illness do take longer to heal than people who are relaxed. People who practice relaxation techniques on a daily basis are often successful in decreasing any anxiety and fear about illness and other daily stresses. Their symptoms can decrease and stabilise. When you learn relaxation skills you increase the ability to bring involuntary bodily functions like heart rate, blood pressure, respiration and muscle tension under your control.Centuries ago many people believed that illness came from a dis-ease within. Writing disease as ''dis-ease'' implies that we are describing a state which is the opposite of being at ease, in comfort or relaxed. The ancient physicians not only tried to cure the body – they dealt with the mind too. Their intention was to work with the humours within, hence sayings like ''he's out of sorts''. The tracks on this CD use carefully constructed guided visualisation to help you take back control of your energy, becoming more at ease ''from within.''
