Relaxation

A time to relax is important to all of us as life seems to become more intense and stressful. Again this is something that hypnotherapy can help with as part of changes in your lifestyle.
Willow Tree Therapies offers a ½hour relaxation session where you can just sit, relax, close your eyes and listen as words of relaxation begin to loosen the tension in your mind and body, after which you should feel refreshed and ready to carry on with the rest of the day. It is time for yourself, where nobody needs or wants anything from you... if this sounds like bliss, then give it a try?

Or why not incorporate this into a one hour session where we can discuss your needs and devise a programme just for you, this may include, visualisation, progressive muscle relaxation, breathing techniques, crystals, also massage, reflexology and reiki provided by other therapists at the Aura Beauty & Therapy Centre. Physical activity is important in achieving relaxation of both the body and mind.

When we exercise we release various chemicals in our bodies:

• Adrenalin - designed to give instant physical energy and mental clarity.
• Cortisone - increases glucose to the muscles and reduces the reaction to injury.
• Endorphins - providing pain-killing and tranquillising properties.

However, endorphins can also be released in times of stress as well as periods of intense physical activity. Unless these secretions are used by physical actions they can accumulate over time and leave us with loss of energy and maybe ill health. Just incorporating more physical activity into your daily life, such as gardening, going for a long walk can start to make you feel better, give you more energy and thus help you to relax.
