Want Your Own TUNING FORK For Life?

Lately I've found that many of my clients are entering into a deep relaxation state during their session or during certain parts of the session.

And they say afterwards:

- I did not feel that I was lying on the couch.

- I wasn't asleep – I was all the time very aware of what was going on.

- What was it? I was so much here and now – I recall every little detail what was going on within me and around me.

And so on.

I just witness their deep relaxed state of being while doing the HK corrections.

I am happy for them. According to research by Dr. Barbara Braun, if any therapeutic work is being done while the brain is working in this deeply relaxed state, aka “the alpha brainwaves”, then the rejuvenation and healing increases by up to 10 times.

But deep relaxation on its own is so very beneficial. And we all know it.

When you relax, the parasympathetic nervous system switches on and that is linked to better digestion, memory and immunity, among other things.

It is like a tuning fork for your brain and your body – getting back to normal functioning - healing and rejuvenation.

So why don't we do it?

- We don't have time for that..

So how could we get into practising the best self-help that there is?

- And find that time....

A few tips -

• allow yourself just 5 minutes a day of doing nothing. (You can read about this in my previous blog HERE....). Every day.
• and then increase this over time - allow yourself just 5 minutes two times a day of doing nothing. Every day. These 5 minutes in your day can be like a comma in the middle of the sentence separating different activities or parts of the day.

In such a way you will also learn to allow time for yourself. And not busy running around like a rabbit in spotlights.

To paraphrase a Zen Buddhist quote - allow yourself at least 5 or 10 minutes a day to relax. But if you can't find 5 or 10 minutes, then allow yourself 20.:) (I love this)

• And then learn from some guided meditations - youtube is full of them. Like Body Scan, Breathing meditation, relaxation, healing meditation... Just do it regularly so that with time you will not need the guided ones any more. 
   
  In fact, there are plenty of methods to achieve a deep relaxation. I don't know any bad ones. It is just about getting into the habit of doing them.

The trick is not to fall asleep and not to engage in any other activity.

Because deep relaxation isn't the sort of switching off you do relaxing with a cup of tea or lounging with a magazine on the sofa. 

 

What you're looking for is a state of deep relaxation where tension is released from the body on a physical level and your mind completely switches off.

Be good to yourself - commit yourself!

And come and see me if you need any help.
