Guided Relaxation for Health and Wellbeing


Coming Soon to Bare Health: 
Guided Relaxation Classes for Health & Wellbeing





Modern life is fast paced, full of hustle and bustle.  Images, sights, sounds, work, friends and family all vying for our attention; telling us what to buy/eat/play with/watch.....leaving little room for us to just be.

Guided relaxation is a kind of directed daydreaming, a way of using the imagination very specifically to help mind and body relax, heal and stay strong.  Gentle suggestions of soothing images are given in a very relaxed atmosphere.  Although initially directed, over time, and sometimes even right away, the imagery becomes more and more spontaneous.  The mind automatically starts to edit, consciously or unconsciously, adding meaningful associations and rich metaphors of its own.  During the scripted imagery, you may find that the images that have meaning to you will come to the fore, while those that are irrelevant fade into the background.  When practiced regularly, at some point the content starts to shift and change, almost of its own accord.  As the unconscious mind recognises what is needed and spontaneously provides it.

To many people imagery means something visual, but during guided relaxation the imagery is any sensory impression: sights, sounds, smells, taste or touch.  For some, sound may be the most evocative sense they possess; for others it may be touch or sight.  To the body these sensory ‘images’ can be as real as actual events.

This use of imagery helps a lot of people in various ways.  It can help to combat fear, isolation, depression, and anxiety.  It can engender hope, optimism and peace of mind.  Many people use imagery to help them to relax, maintain their good health and reduce the effects of stress.

So whether you want to re-discover the realms of your imagination, de-stress or just escape for some ‘me’ time, why not join us for an evening of relaxation and tranquillity. 

The first Guided Relaxation for Health and Wellbeing evening will be on Wednesday 20th November 2013, 7pm, at Bare Health, Congleton.  For more information or to book your place please contact Bare Health on 01260 408413 or Sarah on 07881 816439.  Individual appointments are also available.
