Visualisation

Your thoughts have a direct influence on the way you feel and behave. If you
tend to dwell on sad or negative thoughts, you most likely are not a very
happy person. Likewise, if you think that your job is enough to give you a
headache, you probably will come home with throbbing temples each day. This
is just another clear example of the power the mind exerts over the body.

Your imagination can be a powerful tool to help you combat stress,
tension, and anxiety. You can use visualisation to harness the energy of
your imagination, and it does not take long-probably just a few weeks-to
master the technique. Try to visualise two or three times a day. Most people
find it easiest to do in bed in the morning and at night before falling
asleep, though with practice you'll be able to visualise whenever and
wherever the need arises. To begin visualisation, sit or he down in a
comfortable position and close your eyes. Scan your body for any muscle
tension and relax the areas that need it. Once you feel relaxed, begin to
visualise a scene, object, or place that is soothing and pleasing to you.
Imagine every aspect of the scene, involving all of your senses. For
example, if you like to visualise a waterfall on a mountain, imagine first
what this looks like: the rushing water, the stream flowing from it, the
size and thickness of the trees all around.

Visualisation involves an image that you associate with tension which you
can replace with an image for relaxation. For example, you might visualise
tension as a taut rope, the sound of thunder, the colour red, pitch
darkness, persistent hammering, or blinding white light. These images of
tension can soften and fade into images of relaxation.
