Dreaming is an altered state of consciousness that we all visit regularly. Dreams are a way of processing lifes events, a portal to the subconscious. There are some similarities with the dream state and the shamanistic view of experiencing other ‘realms’ and also the concept of ‘soul loss’.

The mind and body are not separate but intrinsically linked. It is common for emotional or psychological stress to effect the body physically and this may manifest in jaw clenching, IBS, headaches, neck, shoulder or back pain. We are all a bit different with how we express emotional issues somatically (in the body) but whatever the cause of the stress may be, even if we can’t control the circumstances, we can help our body to deal with the stress more effectively

Research has shown that by using mindfulness meditation practices regularly, you can help to release patterns of tension in your body. It has also been proven to help reduce stress and anxiety levels as well as improving sleep. As body and mind are inter connected, working on one will help the other.
