The Mind-Body Connection – Your Best Asset For Change
For far too long the medical establishment dismissed the interdependent and influential relationship of the mind and body as a complementary whole, where thoughts have the power to influence physical and chemical changes within the body.

Do You Struggle With Self-Sabotage?
The meaning that certain significant events have at different times in our lives are conditioned in our mind and brain as patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving.
Which is why when we try to make change consciously, we often come up against some kind of resistance or sabotage that we just can’t explain.
And it’s SO frustrating when you know what to do, but you just can’t do it !!

Why Self-Awareness Is The Key To Unlocking True Potential
Self-awareness is the fundamental building block of creating, monitoring and realising change in a person’s life.
When an individual becomes aware of their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, emotions, values and behaviours in life, they take ownership of their circumstances. With this powerful commitment for growth and change, they can make more informed decisions and better momentary choices with the deeper knowledge of what they want, and what they don’t want.

What Causes Anxiety And What You Can Do About It
In the simplest terms, anxiety is caused by an overload of fear and doubt in the thinking mind, which in turn neuro-chemically and physically activates the autonomic nervous system’s ‘fight, flight, freeze’ response in response to certain triggers i.e. sensations, perceptions, meanings, memories.
Our fears drive our thoughts, and our thoughts and behaviours create our emotions. Through repetitive stimulus, certain thoughts, feelings and behaviours condition the nervous system to become overstimulated and stuck in the ‘ON’ switch.

How Meditation Changed My Life
For 18 years as I struggled through Bulimia Nervosa, meditation proved useful in picking up the pieces. It gave me hope and confidence that one day I would make it through and be living the life I was creating in my mind – once I overcame the underlying beliefs that kept me stuck.It took many years to challenge and change the negative mental programming and take responsibility for my own thoughts, but meditation was instrumental in giving me the time and space I needed to explore, sit, breathe and listen – to find my own authentic voice. Meditation comforted me through many dark times of feeling rejected, vulnerable, struggling with self-worth and losing my identity in the desire to please others.

What Is Mind-Body Medicine?
Mind–body Medicine uses the power of thoughts and emotions to influence physical and neurological health. The study, based at MGH’s Institute for Technology Assessment and the Benson-Henry Institute (BHI) for Mind Body Medicine, found that individuals in the relaxation-response program used fewer health care services in the year after their participation than in the preceding year. The program combined elicitation of the relaxation response with social support, cognitive-skills training, and positive psychology designed to build resiliency.Studies like this one have a huge potential to reduce not only the extreme pressure on the healthcare system, but also improve the personal wellbeing of each individual who can learn and apply these simple techniques into their daily lives.
