Creating Vibrant Health, Healing and Recovering from Illness
Pain and dis-ease use up valuable vital healing energy that the body could be utilizing in the healing process. That is why it is said that relaxation and being in a peaceful positive, happy state of mind will help the body heal 10 times faster.
Relaxation and Meditation techniques have become major tools in helping people recover from serious disease and injury.
Accelerated Learning -Learning Problems and Increasing Intelligence
Research over the last 30 years has clearly shown that the quickest and greatest results in learning and study come about when the whole brain is in a relaxed alpha brain wave level of awareness.
Learning difficulties can be improved when the brain and nervous system are taught to deeply relax.
Whole brain learning occurs when both the left brain (analytical, logical learning, speech) and the right brain (spatial, visual, rhythm, emotional, intuitive) are activated and stimulated together e.g. singing (music and words).
This naturally occurs in deep alpha relaxation.
Negative stimulation of the fight/flight and emotional areas of the brain will diminish the brain’s capacity to fully integrate the left and right brain.
Creative Thinking and Intuitive Visualisation
To think creatively or to be open to intuition we have to be able to still the chatter of our left brain and listen and experience the intuitive impulses of the right brain. When the right brain becomes free of restrictions it will float into endless possibilities combining information in greater and greater creative concepts.
Albert Einstein talked of sitting under a tree on a sunny day and dreaming of light bending through the Universe. This awakened dreaming state helped him create his E=mc2 formula. Most scientists won’t admit it, but a great many of their discoveries have happened when they were relaxed and having fun.
The left brain might need research to gather the facts but it takes the right brain to create an intuitive breakthrough.
Peak Sport Performance, Yoga and Tai Chi Chuan
The secret of relaxing the mind and mentally preparing the nervous system is now being used by more and more professional and Olympic athletes the world over to reach their personal best performance.
In any form of performance training the aim of the athlete’s mind is to be focused in the present moment, in perfect oneness with the action and the athlete. It allows faster, effortless, skill development, unlocking a process of natural concentration without thinking.
Classic eastern practices such as Yoga and Tai Chi Chuan are grounded in centuries of relaxation and mindfulness, often valued as much for their meditative benefits as exercise.
