Meditation at Mind & Body

16/2/2018

0 Comments

 

Deepak Chopra said that “Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet, it is a way of entering into the quiet that is already there, buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day.”

It is very hard to ignore the sheer amount of research out there that suggests the positive impact that meditation can have on us. 
​
Meditation can:
  • Reduce stress and anxiety
  • Reduce physical pain
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Increase blood flow to the brain
  • Boost the immune system
  • Improve sleep
  • Increase your mental clarity and concentration
  • Increase creativity
  • Balance emotions
  • Provide quality TIME FOR YOU!

At Mind & Body we aim to provide a sanctuary where you can access some quiet time, some time to put your needs first, which as busy human beings, we very rarely do. 

One of our Therapists Becky is a qualified Meditation Teacher and has put together a Meditation Group. Meditating in a group has so many added bonuses to meditating alone, you can meet people on your wavelength, there is an opportunity for feedback and discussion, it helps develop a healthy habit and, believe it or not, there are studies that prove the existence of a ripple effect of peace in the surrounding environment when a group meditates together.  

Becky's group Meditation sessions are small and intimate with no more than eight people in each session which means that the group feels personal and very supportive. It also means that Becky can tailor the sessions to the individuals within the group. 

The sessions are for anyone who would like to find that inner quietness, no previous experience of meditation is necessary. 
​
  • When: Monday's & Friday's 6pm-8pm
  • Where: The Mind and Body Health Centre, 3 St John's Lane, Halifax HX1 2JD (free car park from 6pm) 
  • How Much: £15 per session or £120 for a block of 10 (£30 saving)

To find out a little bit more, or to book on to one of the sessions, please contact Becky

What is EFT?

Emotional Freedom Technique, EFT or Tapping, as it’s sometimes known, is based on the discovery that imbalances in the body's energy system have a profound effect on our personal psychology.

EFT is a psychological acupressure technique that aims to optimise your emotional health. Emotional health is absolutely essential to your physical health and healing. The quality of a person’s life is directly related to their emotional wellbeing. EFT is scientifically proven and drug free.

What is Floating?

12/3/2015

0 Comments

 
Essentially it's spending an hour or so lying quietly on your back in a large, private bath. You are suspended in a warm solution of Epsom salt water about 10 inches deep and so dense you float effortlessly. 

Floatation has been in existence since the 1960s and is evidence based. Studies show that you reach a very deep state of relaxation where theta brain waves are produced. These are normally only experienced during deep meditation and just before falling asleep. Endorphines are produced which are our bodies natural pain relievers and mood enhancers.

What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and why do we get it?

12/2/2015

IBS is a common, long-term condition of the digestive system. It is classified as bouts of constipation and bloating followed by stomach cramps and diarrhoea.

According to the NHS choices website, IBS is thought to affect up to one in five people at some point in their life, and around twice as many women are affected as men.

NHS choices also claim that the condition is usually life-long, but may improve over several years.

 While modern medicine does acknowledge that IBS seems to flare up during times of stress, it does not make clear the specific cause and meaning behind IBS.

The Benefits of Meditation

20/1/2015

0 Comments

 
Meditation is a very effective remedy for stress relief. When we feel stressed or anxious, our brainwave pattern changes, our heart rate and blood pressure rise, our breath is more shallow and our muscles tense up. Our body goes into 'fight or flight' and pumps adrenalin and other hormones into our bloodstream.
