Visualization is a tool which has been used to harness the power of the mind for centuries. Visualization and guided meditation is a proven useful technique for both short term and long term pain relief and recovery. Through the use of images in your mind you can help reduce your pain and other symptoms.  Leiah has used this meditation and the use of color in her healing center with very positive results for individuals recovering from surgeries, injuries and the harmful cumulative affect of day to day stress.

Guided meditation and visualization gently leads our mind into a deeply relaxed state, decreasing muscle tension, and reducing the presence of stress hormones.  It allows the mind to shift the attention away from pain and to create positive images.  This can provide a sense of comfort and control.  As you repeat the process you are weakening the neural pathways in the brain associated with pain, and strengthening the pathways associated with healing. This can help assist the body to move out of the chronic pain cycle. Moving into the relaxed state activates your parasympathetic nervous system. This is the peace, calm, rest and digest phase.  This is the state in which the body heals verses the fight, flight or flee phase often linked to stress and pain.
