We know that what goes on in the body affects our thoughts, and what we think in turn affects the body. How long am I going to feel this way. These kind of thoughts just make you feel more uptight, and sometimes even make physical symptoms worse. Relaxation is a very useful tool for helping the body and mind chill out and settle into a calmer and more comfortable state. This relaxed state creates favorable conditions for healing and feeling better.
Relaxation is a skill that anyone can learn with practice.
The body and mind are interconnected. Depending on what we are thinking, what we think can makes us feel better or worse. And, when you've had cancer the worry and stress gets even greater. The relaxing mind gets calmer, it's easy to let go of worries, and to remember that you can handle whatever challenges you have. And, while the body and mind are calm and resting, the immune system gets nourished and becomes stronger.
