Two easy ways to calm your Body & Mind…
Marta Cordell here to kick off your “Take Back Your Health 12-Week Course” by sharing with you two of my favorite super easy ways to calm your body and mind throughout the day, in order to make space for more energy!
You will be receiving email every week for 12 weeks and this is the first email…. TWO easy ways to calm your Body & Mind…But first, why am I talking about calming your body and mind? We all want to have more energy right? We all want to feel so great that we leap out of bed with fat smiles on our faces ready to greet the day with enthusiasm. But how can we ever get this energy boost without first making space for it in our bodies and minds?Good question! Think of calming your body and mind like tilling the soil and planting the seeds before they SPROUT with abundant energy like magic bean stalks that reach for the sky! Because that’s all you will be doing here—making space for new energy to flow! So what are my 2 easy ways to calm your body and your mind?STEP 1: Put both your feet firmly on the ground, sit up straight with your shoulders pulled back to open your heart, close your eyes and take ten full, DEEP breaths in and out… in and out… in and out… When you open your eyes NOTICE how different your body feels. Do you feel calmer? Clearer? More relaxed? Yep. That’s because deep breathing like this takes the body out of the sympathetic nervous system (what we commonly refer to as our “fight or flight”, or STRESS response), and engages the parasympathetic nervous system (our “rest and digest” state). Why does this matter? Because the body doesn’t know the difference between the stress of running from a bear and the stress from sitting in traffic worrying we’re going to be late for work! With the stress we are all exposed to on a constant basis, we stay in that fight or flight, which exhausts our energy reserves, shuts down our digestive system, and drags down our immune system, leaving us both sick and tired. Well that was STEP 1! Easy, right? Now that you have calmed your body, are you ready for STEP 2? Don’t worry… it’s just as easy… You’ve heard of positive affirmations right? Well I believe they actually work! Why? Because your body is not going to do what you tell it to do unless your mind believes it first! (Or you trick your mind into believing it) STEP 2: Think of a short, sweet sentence that I like to call your motivational MANTRA so that you can instantly become your own energy-boosting guru. Here are some ENERGIZING examples to get you started:
Choose one that resonates with you or change up the words, write it on a sticky note and stick it on top of your computer or bathroom mirror. Then read it or memorize it and say it out loud to yourself six times today and just watch what happens… How will calming my body and mind give me more energy?Let me put it this way… water will not flow well through a blocked up pipe. Similarly, your energy or life force is not going to flow well if you’re all tensed up, agitated or on guard. So, with STEP 1, you are learning to quiet your mind, calm your own nervous system and SAVE energy for you to use later when you really need it! And with STEP 2 you will be amazed at the results over time if you say your mantra over and over again. You may even find that by the end of day one your mind will start to believe it and your body will follow! Why? Because that’s the way our minds work! They start to believe what we tell them to believe. It really is that simple. That’s great, but what else have ya got?I’m so glad you asked! We also offer at the Thermography Center of Dallas a wonderfully calming and relaxing treatment called JIN SHIN JYUTSU. This ancient healing practice releases tensions that can cause various symptoms in the body, and allows our energy pathways to flow! Want to know more? Just call Raquel at 214-352-8758 to ask questions or schedule an appointment! Another option we offer is the Brain Light Pro. This amazing tool uses infrared light to stimulate the creation of new blood vessels, neurons and synapses in the brain. This leads to a calmer, more relaxed state, better sleep and an increase in the output of the mitochondria that are the energy powerhouses of our body! Treatments only take 20 minutes, and done daily, get all of these benefits and many more. Call us today at 214-352-8758 to schedule a complimentary consultation! |
