The word ‘relax’ comes from the Latin word ‘relaxāre’, meaning ‘to loosen’. And relaxation is about loosening muscles, allowing tensions and stresses to go, enabling your mind to calm.
A calm and relaxed mind can think calmer, concentrate more easily and focus on objectives easier, which is why many sports people use the techniques of Hypnotherapy.

Relaxing is natural, it’s free, it has no negative side-effects and it’s right there inside you, just waiting for you to turn that key. Whatever your age, whatever your stage of life or your health status, relaxation is waiting for you to tap into to.
I believe that the ability to relax is in all of us, and it can be learned. Some of us can learn it very quickly, and some may take a little longer. Often I may have a client who has literally ‘forgotten’ what it feels like to relax (or rather the imprint of what it feels like to deeply relax needs rekindling). We learn many things just by the experience of doing them - things as basic and fundamental as walking, talking, writing and using a knife and fork, and I believe that relaxation is no different. We can literally learn to relax, just by the experience of doing it!.
Benefits for people in ill health
Many health issues are now linked to stress and problems relaxing. Being able to relax is like a key to enable all sorts of positive changes. I see many people who are in ill-health (with problems ranging from Parkinsons Disease through to Hypertension and Cancer) and while Hypnotherapy may or may not benefit their symptoms, being taught to properly relax may be of great benefit to them in helping them to cope with their illness.
