Training the Mind, Meditation, Brain Hacks, Mindfulness, and Mental Health

The body has a miraculous ability to heal itself without our conscious awareness (luckily we don’t have to constantly think about that skinned knee or sprained ankle for the repair process to do its job.) Focused attention and other types of mental training such as hypnosis or visualization, have been shown to improve our natural healing ability and improve performance.

As a practitioner, most energetic healing therapies indicate that the healer should attend to the problematic area and hold the intention for healing to occur. For example, in Qigong, attention is focused on the body or in the hands to move and manipulate Qi or Chi for a variety of purposes. Relaxation is another tool for improving health and healing the body.

Mindfulness and/or meditation research indicates that those who meditate reap many healthful benefits which we hope to examine and discuss in this section of the site. We will explore a variety of mental and spiritual practices to help us understand the healing process and how we can create the best outcomes for ourselves and our patients or clients
