Hypnosis Episode - 20 minutes to feel relaxed, grounded, & at peace

<p>We recently conducted a survey on Instagram and asked people wha their <em>current state</em> was versus how they <em>would like to feel</em>. This likely will come to no surprise to you but these were some responses: </p> <p><strong>Current State</strong>: anxious, overwhelm, stress, frustration </p> <p><strong>Desired State</strong>: peace, relaxation, grounded</p> <p>It is said that those who live in more densely wooded areas report better health data than those who live in more urban areas.</p> <p>Being close to nature can help us to alter our brain waves (hello, theta!!!), slow down our heart beats and lower our blood pressure. In other words: we activate our parasympathetic nervous system and shut down the "fight or flight" response. </p> <p>Doctors back in the day used to prescribe "sea air" to those who were experiencing depression. We know sea air contains negative ions and that it just <em>feels</em> healing to breath it in!</p> <p>We know that trees:</p> <ul> <li>produce oxygen and clean carbon dioxide</li> <li>improve air quality </li> <li>are a source of medicine</li> <li>are a source or protection</li> </ul> <p>Trees have loooonnngggg been a symbol for strength, rebirth, renewal, protection, wisdom, and peace...</p> <p>...so remind me why we continue to be heads down in our phones all the time?!</p> <p>It is my belief that we need to be reminded of the power and beauty of nature or else we will continue to be sucked into our cellphones and laptops (where we <em>know</em> that doesn't bring us much good!) </p> <p>Knowing that we don't always have access to nature, luckily we can go there in our minds! And our mind knows no difference between what's imagined and what's real so today I invite you to get creative. </p> <p>_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style= "font-size: 14pt;"><strong>HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE HYPNOSIS MEDITATION</strong></span></p> <p>Plug into your headphones, get comfortable, relax wherever you are and give yourself that time to simply listen.
