Healing Through Relaxation

Healing Can Happen Through Relaxation
The comment  I hear most often from clients, at the end of a Craniosacral Therapy session or Reiki session, is that they have never before felt so deeply and completely relaxed. There is something in the quiet of those two Holistic therapies that nurtures you, mind, body and soul.

To heal through relaxation you will need to do some investigation to discover what allows you to completely and deeply relax. What works will be as different and unique as you are. It could be through Craniosacral Therapy or Reiki, possibly Massage. Some find yoga or meditation to be what works for them. When you find that therapy that allows you to feel safe in completely letting go, the next step is to practise it often.

What Happens When You are Deeply Relaxed?

• Your brain waves slow and the brain's chemistry becomes rejuvenated. This leads to a calmer state of mind.
  
• Endorphins (your body’s natural painkillers) are released which not only help to relieve pain but also reduce stress. Relaxed muscles hurt less.
  
• Your body experiences an improved heart rate, lower blood pressure and increased and improved circulation to the major muscles and organs which helps to ease tension and to reduce chronic pain.
  
• Deep relaxation helps your immune system to recover and work better in supporting and protecting you.
  
• A deep relaxation discovered and practised over time improves mood, focus, quality of sleep and better digestion.
  
• You are more likely to hear the messages that your soul and spirit have for you, and those can be life changing.

The whole idea of healing through Relaxation puts to rest the outdated myth of the “no pain, no gain” concept of healing, doesn’t it?
