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.
