Mind and Body:

The Exercise Connection 1

positivetranceformations.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?
