11. INVOKE THE HEALING RESPONSE - Inside each of us is the ability of the body mind spirit to heal itself. Through deep sleep each night the body is able to turn down normal functions and concentrate on rejuvenating and healing itself. The process of consciously creating this during wakeful hours is a powerful means of healing and transformation.

The technique can be self taught or guided by a hypnotherapist or a audio tape. Once you have achieved the state you can easily return by yourself. Some Yoga, Tai Chi and Chi Gong instructors can also teach the technique. It is a powerful stress reduction technique as well. It involves relaxed concentration, a meditative mind state, and breath technique. The deep relaxation and inner experience of quieting the mind body spirit both relaxes and refreshes the spirit body mind. You may also feel more productive with less effort from using the healing response on a daily basis.
