During Stress

- Heart rate increases

- Breathing rate increases

- Blood pressure increases

- Oxygen consumption increases

- Carbon dioxide release increases

- Muscles tense

- Digestion is impaired

- Vision is modified (pupils dilate)

- Blood is shunted from muscles

- and more...

Eventually, continued stress lead to chronic problems.

Worry is a tension producing exercise many of us indulge in. Using imagery in a negative way, we foresee all the negative possibilities that may occur. More often than not, our "awfulizing" is just a figment of our imagination, that never takes place. It takes its toll on the body. Any imagined event electrically fires up the muscles needed to perform it. And so, tension builds up.

"Worry is the price you pay in advance for most of the things in life that never happen."

Foster Cline, M.D., and Jim Fay in Parenting Teens with Love and Logic

Imagery is considered by many to be the #1 Alternative Health Practice because of the far-reaching consequences of the "movies" we play in our minds.

Every image has a reaction in the body, be it the release of stress hormones, or other chemical cocktail, which initiate the flight/fight or the relaxation response. All seemed to be played according to the scripts we run in our heads. When we think depression and hopelessness, our bodies release neuro-peptides (chemical messengers) telling our cells to let viruses and bacteria in. When we think happiness and faith, our bodies respond differently and reject unwanted substances.

Mastering Imagery is not optional for the individual desiring an empowered life. Numerous scientific studies demonstrate that positive imagery effectively fights dis-eases and promotes Health, Happiness and Success.
