THE BRAIN CAN CHANGE

CHANGE YOUR BRAIN, CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Dr. Amen has found hypnosis to be very helpful. You will be glad to know that hypnosis, guided imagery and deep breathing are specifically recommended to resolve and heal problems with the brain!

Certain parts of the brain tend to do certain things. For example, the prefrontal cortex is involved with executive functions; the temporal lobes are involved with memory, auditory processing, word finding and emotional reactions; the parietal lobes are involved with direction sense; etc.

The deep limbic system controls our state of mind, our automatic thoughts, and our degree of connection that we feel with others. Noticing the good is much more effective in shaping behavior than noticing the bad. Dr. Amen recommends taking responsibility for nurturing relationships in your life with love, appreciation, affection, trust and connection.

One of the parts of the brain that controls the integration of feelings, thoughts and movement is called the Basal Ganglia. You might be interested to learn that the Basal Ganglia’s function includes the ability to integrate feelings and movement, control feelings of being overwhelmed emotionally, conflict avoidance, suppress unwanted muscle movement, and set the body’s idle speed or anxiety level. Isn’t that interesting

One of the main ways to sooth the brain is DEEP BREATHING and DAILY RELAXATION THROUGH GUIDED IMAGERY/SELF-HYPNOSIS. The way you breath has a huge impact and trains your brain how to reset to a relaxed, healthy level. Guided Imagery trains relaxation into your body and lowers tension in your muscles. These exercises may seem too simple, but they can have a powerful effect on how your body reacts.
