Healing Your Back

Relaxation And Imagery For Self Care And Peak Performance

This program gives you the tools you need to relieve stress and pain, discover and disconnect your triggers, start and end each day in the right frame of mind and body, and change behaviors that lead to re-injury.

Healing Your Back is a powerful, effective, enjoyable way to take charge of your healing, reduce tension and pain in your back, and speed your return to wellness. It is three programs in one.

This first part helps you focus your mind, relax, and the ease the tension, pain and inflammation in your back or neck. Deep relaxation, guided imagery, and positive affirmation enable you to do this. Next, you will use these same mind tools to explore the roots of your back pain, rebalance your mind and emotions, and rewire your brain to provide you with the healthy attitudes and behaviors to heal your back and prevent future episodes.

The third part of this program enables you to program your mind each morning so that you carry the sense of calm balance throughout your day, thereby avoiding triggering further tension or inflammation. It also provides you with a soothing experience of deep relaxation and visualization just before bed, so your body can more quickly heal you while you sleep.

Contents – Track Information:

Track 1: Healing Your Back through Relaxation, Stress Management and Guided Imagery

First, through guided relaxation, you will learn the basic skills of deep relaxation. In the state of deep relaxation you'll tense and then relax your hand. Through the use of autosuggestion you will then transfer the skill of relaxation to the muscles of your back. In addition, through imagery, you will send healing light to inflamed areas of your back that need to be healed. Finally, you will use 44 different affirmations of the health and self care to change how you think, feel, and act in relationship to your back.

Listening to this brief experience each morning will help ensure that you stay focused on the importance of treating your back the way it should be treated in order to heal and stay healthy.

Track 2: Evening Relaxation, a Quieting

Throughout the day you move and do things, and this just about always involves using the muscles of your back. As a result, tension tends to build up during the day. Relieving this tension creates a healing environment in the area of your back that has been inflamed.
