There is a close connection between your brain, nervous system and glands. This means you can remain calm and strong even in anxious situations.

Just Relax

You will find endorphin meditation to be a very enjoyable and effective way to health improvement. Your meditation instructor will guide you gently into triggering endorphins. These are the hormones that make you feel good. At the same time they turn off stess hormones like adrenalin and cortisol. Endorphins are natural opiates, removing stress and pain. By relaxing tissues they provide feelings of contentment both physically and mentally.

Trigger Endorphins At Any Time

Adrenaline and cortisol are there to help the body to ‘fight or flee’. They contract muscles and prepare the body for action. If they are not used up in physical movement they can remain frozen in the body tissues causing ongoing stress and discomfort. Endorphins are produced by the experience of pleasure, real or imagined. So they can be triggered by, for example, a memory of a happy holiday, which can then be used as a gateway to meditation. Once the endorphins are triggered, they can be guided around the body for general health enhancement.

Just Use Your Imagination For Amazing Results

To raise your endorphins, think about people, places, events that you really love. Feel the pleasure of the experience in your body. Let the feeling deepen. You can imagine endorphins as a golden stream of liquid honey. Now guide the stream around your body. Enjoy!
