Relaxation & Sleep
The biopsychosocial benefits of relaxing
Learning to relax helps us to be more resilient in the face of stress, and anxiety, and manage fear and adversity. It also helps us to let go, clear our minds, and switch off our negative thinking and emotions leading to healthier behaviours.
Making this a routine part of our day can bring increased benefits and will improve productivity and performance across all areas of our life e.g., having more energy, being less tired, reducing inflammation, engaging less with things that don't matter, better emotional regulation and stability, better decision-making and memory retention & recall.
The physiology of relaxing
Relaxing triggers the parasympathetic branch of our autonomic nervous system which regulates organ and gland functions during rest, and is considered a slowly activated, dampening system to reduce harm to the body by slowing our heart, reducing inflammation, and relaxing our muscles.
Having a set of ways to effectively and easily relax is an essential component of living a healthy and happy quality of life and building our resilience to mitigate stress.
Using hypnosis to relax
There are many ways to learn to relax, however, the quickest way to induce relaxation and the easiest to learn is hypnosis.
With hypnosis, we can learn to induce a surface or deep relaxed state in ourselves &/or others.
The state we experience can be very daydreamy and our mind can wander to places of peace and happiness, or it can be focused and we can be mindfully aware of the way we want to feel and things we want to think about for a while.
Hypnotherapy is a very versatile tool that can be used very briefly to help e.g., stabilise breathing during a state of anxiety, panic or fear, or with more time can be used to help us enjoy a greater depth of relaxation and rest to give us respite from the effects of insomnia, pain, stress, etc.
It's a very healthy, natural and enjoyable way to learn to switch off and feel differently about things you might otherwise feel bothered by.
