How to think yourself better by Tom Sanderson

Visualization or guided imagery healing is a form of self hypnosis which helps the healing process.



All through our lives, images and suggestions are the things that build what we think of as reality and are therefore what we think. We can influence what we are thinking by visualizing things in our mind.



There is scientific evidence that those of us who can influence our mind to think positive thoughts can directly influence the healing power within our body. This mind-body connection is how guided imagery healing works(http://www.preemptivehealing.com).



When we feel an emotion we also feel a physical sensation. For instance, if you watch a horror movie you feel frightened and get goose bumps. This would be a negative emotion creating a negative response.



When you feel positive emotions you will get a positive response in your body. However, it is not just a case of thinking nice thoughts. Your brain is a complex organ, it creates chemical reactions when it receives your thoughts. For instance, the emotional centre of the brain, the hypothalamus, transforms emotions into physical response. It is a receptor for neuropeptides, the chemical messenger hormones, which carry emotions back and forth between the mind and the body.



Your thoughts have to be specifically targeted to allow visualization to work. Your body will do what you believe it will do, it is just a question of getting in the right mindset to have the belief.



You need to be relaxed in both body and mind. You need to be committed to spend the time to regularly to go through the visualization process. You need to keep positive and be patient.



You can use creative imagery to help you visualize the healing process or you can imagine yourself in a beautiful place, whole, healthy and happy.
