Summer Series 4: Meditation & hypnosis as performance enhancers - How they help our health & increase performance outcomes in our lives

During January, I’ll be sharing my Summer Series - a replay of some of our most popular Psych for Life podcast episodes. I hope you enjoy them as much as my other listeners have.Dr. Amanda Ferguson explains what meditation entails, how to achieve alpha state - in passive and active ways - and why meditation is so beneficial. Meditation builds what Dr. Amanda calls 'the critical link' within us - neural pathways that make us more connected within ourselves. Meditation has been shown to provide health benefits such as reduced blood pressure. She also shows how 'hypnosis is the new meditation' - that is, how through hypnosis we can obtain the same benefits as well as further benefits from the therapeutic approach.You can listen to Dr. Amanda's Relaxation and Meditation CD on Spotify here: https://spoti.fi/3lVe8sRTo find out more about Dr. Amanda Ferguson, you can visit her website at www.dramandaferguson.com.auOr connect with her on Facebook or LinkedInIf you enjoy listening to this podcast, please rate, review and subscribe on Apple, Spotify or wherever you're listening now.Is there a pressing issue or topic you'd like me to discuss?
