Self Hypnosis - Mental Gymnastics For The Mind
By Steve Harold
Most people accept the logic of exercise in whatever form, being an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Whether that exercise is salsa dancing, pilates, yoga, a regular game of football or a gym membership, you know that exercise is necessary part of staying well and agile.
Although exercise is mainly about physical health, it does have a positive knock-on effect on your state of mind. Through exercise the heart rate increases, the feel-good hormones, endorphins, are released and you generally feel good and motivated after exercise because of all this.
From this you can rightly conclude that physical exercise, of whatever kind, and this includes love-making, has a welcome side-effect of helping us to feel mentally better as well.
Similarly, a mindful exercise such as self-hypnosis can assist us by dealing with matters from the opposite direction. Self-hypnosis helps to soothe the mind which in turn leads to physical relaxation. We already know that sleep provides the body with an opportunity for effective healing. Self-hypnosis can also provide an ideal healing occasion too. Of course, whether you have a physical illness or not, the body is constantly replacing old cells. It is said that over 90% of the body is renewed approximately every 6 months.
Self-hypnosis is a simple art that you can be proficient at quite quickly. Once mastered it can be a skill for life and used to help you with virtually any challenge; mental, physical or emotional. Some of the issues typically eased or resolved by self-hypnosis are :-
Depression, low self confidence, stress, anxiety, nerves, lack of motivation, numerous phobias including arachnophobia � fear of spiders, aviaphobia � fear of flying, public speaking, fear of heights, claustrophobia � fear of enclosed spaces, agoraphobia � fear of open spaces, and social phobia � anxiety around other people and general blocks to living your life to its full potential.
