This podcast is the narrated version of my article Hypnosis And The Mind-Body Connection.
Long gone are the days when it was assumed the mind and body were separate and distinct, that the thoughts and feelings of the mind had no or little direct effect on the workings of the body.
In this episode I talk about:
- The complexity and subtlety of the immune system
- Get the basics right first for better immune system health
- How relaxation fights stress, and where hypnosis fits in
- Why metaphor is such a powerful hypnotic tool
