What are the benefits ?
Visualisation, the process of focused awareness is very beneficial to mind, body and emotions due to the very deep relaxation produced. By calming the mind, the body becomes calm and brings about inner peace and eliminates the physical effects of stress. This de-stressing of the body, every muscle and every cell creates a feel good factor, peace and tranquillity, which carries on through to everyday life.
The deep relaxation produced slows the metabolism to a similar state to sleep.
