Everybody feels anxious, sad, triggered, overwhelmed, or a sense of lack of control. Learning to relax is an effective way of regaining your sense of control. Relaxation techniques such as progressive muscular relaxation, guided imagery and Hypnotherapy are strategies that can help you manage stress, anxiety, self limiting thoughts, symptoms and unhealthy habits. You can effectively use relaxation and visualisation to heal your body, mind, and spirit.

Progressive muscular relaxation, guided imagery, Hypnotherapy help relieve tension and stress and helps you to experience internal harmony and counteract the effects of stress. Progressive muscular relaxation, guided imagery and Hypnotherapy allows you to experience a state of deep relaxation where tension is released from your body on a physical level and your mind is quieted and focused. Your mind and body will be free from tension and anxiety and open to positive suggestions and imagery.

By focusing on repetitive words, phrases and breathing, you will experience the immediate benefits of lowered blood pressure, heart rate and breathing rate and long term effects such as a reduction in anxiety and stress, improved mood and targeted behaviour change. There are several health benefits to relaxation. Relaxation lowers the risk for depression and anxiety, hypertension, improves your immune system, increase your energy and confidence and reduces worry.

Hypnotherapy is a recognised form of relaxation therapy and proven to reduce “stress chemicals” and bring the mind and body back to balance. In a deeply relaxed state, your mind is guided away from the troubles of everyday life and into a place of tranquillity. During this process, you are more open to therapeutic suggestions to encourage changes in self limiting thoughts, unhealthy behaviours or relief from stress related symptoms.

Relaxation is the single most important key to health and well-being. It is the antidote to stress, the one true cause of all disease.
