Raising your endorphin levels could help you feel good in the run-up to a wedding, a special event, a holiday or Christmas, instead of being overwhelmed by the stress of the occasion. Staying calm enough to enjoy the celebrations can be a challenge.

Your basic feelings and attitudes can be managed regardless of what is going on around you - assuming you've learnt the skills to cope.

The intimate connection between your mind-brain, your nervous system and your glandular system, means you can calm and strengthen your core even in provocative situations.

Just Relax

You will find endorphin meditation to be a very enjoyable and effective way to health improvement. Your meditation instructor will guide you gently into triggering endorphins. These are the hormones that make you feel good. At the same time they turn off stess hormones like adrenalin and cortisol. Endorphins are natural opiates, removing stress and pain. By relaxing tissues they provide feelings of contentment both physically and mentally.

You Can Trigger Endorphins At Will

The stress hormones are there to help the body fight or flight. If not used up in physical activity they can remain frozen in the body creating a chronic condition of stress or discomfort. Endorphin production does not rely on actual real life events. They can be produced by the imagination. Just thinking about a happy event and then using this as a part of the meditation experience will trigger endorphins that can be guided around the body with the mind.

Just Use Your Imagination For Amazing Results

To bolster your endorphin levels, think about an event, a person, an activity or a place that makes you feel good. Experience it. Feel the pleasure in your body and let it deepen. This good feeling comes from the endorphins. Now imagine the endorphins as a golden stream of oil. Now use your mind to guide this stream of oil around your body. Enjoy!
