Mind and Body: The Exercise Connection 1positivetranceformations.com.au

We all know that mind and body are linked – this is one of the reasons why people come to find help for problems like weight loss and quitting smoking

from hypnotherapy.

What happens in our minds affects our bodies and the reverse is also true:

what happens to our bodies affects our minds.

Now, professional clinical hypnotist Brisbane know that what

goes on in a client’s mind affects what goes on in their bodies.

Several of the tests used to gauge how receptive a client is to a hypnotic

suggestion involves seeing if the client can block out receiving strong smells

while in a trance in response to a suggestion, or if they become unable to

move a limb in response to a suggestion.

However, as people often forget what has happened to them and what they have experienced during a hypnotic

trance, here’s another way of showing you that what you think and imagine

can affect your body.

Read the paragraph below very slowly and carefully, letting your imagination

play with all the details.

You are walking through a hot desert. Overhead, the sun is beating down on

the back of your head.

Heat waves shimmer off the sand around you and you screw up your

eyes against the glare.

Sweat trickling and itching on your forehead and making the back of your

shirt sticky and damp.

The inside of your mouth is dry and tacky, and you’re so thirsty that the back of your throat feels like paper.

Each step you take makes your muscles ache, because your legs are feeling so heavy and you need a drink

so badly.

Then you see a lemon lying in front of you. You pick it up, feeling the dimples

in the soft, waxy skin.

Then you lift it to your nose and smell the bittersweet tang of the peel.

Then you bite into the lemon, and the sour juice explodes into your mouth, washing around your palate and your

tongue with the refreshing taste.

Some of the juice runs down your hands and arm, and you lick the juice off, tasting the salt of your sweat and

the tang of the lemon at the same time.

Did you feel your mouth watering when you read or heard the bit about biting into the lemon and tasting the juice?

I certainly did while I was writing it. Right now, you might even like to leave this page of your browser open and go and get a drink, as a lot of people feel

thirsty after trying this visualisation exercise.

Doesn’t that show you that what you imagine and think about can affect your

body?

But what about the other way? Read the next slide…
