Healing, Visualization, and Expectation Techniques
by Dr.Larain on February 24, 2009
Our thoughts and visualizations can transform our life in a very positive way. You have heard the saying we are what we think about.
Through the autonomic nervous system a thought held in the mind affects hormonal balance, blood flow, metabolism and every cell in the body so it makes perfect sense that are thoughts can have such a dramatic affect in our life.
Visualization was used by the Greeks, Egyptians, Oriental civilizations and ancient Indians and may be one of the most ancient techniques used for healing.
The Greeks and Egyptians actually held healing ceremonies and they healed with herbs, lying on of hands and through dreams and visualizations.
We still do this today. In various religious ceremonies don't they still lay on of hands? Do we not still use herbs to heal?
When you are just moving from the waking state into the sleep state, you are in an altered state of mind that is similar to hypnosis. This hypnogogic state last for about twenty or thirty minutes, and you can take advantage of this time.
If you do positive visualizations during this hypnogogic state and then go to sleep, those positive visualizations drop down into the subconscious mind as positive suggestion that you have given yourself.
