Have you ever wondered why phrases like ‘I feel it in my gut’ and ‘I had butterflies in my stomach’ have a relationship between the emotions and your body?
This is what I will be addressing in today’s blog – the uncanny mind-body connection and the importance of maintaining it well for improving your health.
It is almost unbelievable how these work in your system; your intuitions, moods, and emotions send your body the cues, which is why your body functions the way it does.
In simple terms, how often does it happen when you are entering to present a presentation and your body starts sweating out of nervousness? That dryness in your mouth is caused because your mind is nervous, and all your body does is react to it.
That said, there are many professional therapies to improve this connection; hypnotherapy being a major one, Cityhypno has curated a guide that can make you all aware of the mind-body connection.
Let’s dive right in!
Mind-Body Connection
Similar to any other machine, your body’s a full package with powerful networks that connects your brain to your organs, and beyond. Specifically talking, the “highway” that connects your entire body is known as the Vagus Nerve.
This nerve also called the “wandering nerve” – has two thick stems that are rooted in your brain and extend towards the lowest part of your abdomen, connecting your heart and every other major organ in your body.
Naturally, this nerve continually sends signals back and forth until it is time to rest when the brain signals the body to sleep and digest.
A healthy two-way communication through this nerve results in the release of neurotransmitters such as GABA and acetylcholine; something that can help ease intense blood pressure and heart rate.
On the contrary, when this communication is disturbed, it is more difficult for you to control your responses to stress and anxiety.
In simple terms, you need to make sure that there is a proper flow of communication between your mind and body, for your well-being.
Improve Your Mind-Body Connection
To maintain a good flow between your body and mind, you can simply develop some habits. The key here is consistency – maintaining these habits will give you promising results over time.
Here are some of the many things you can do to make yourself feel at your best every day!

Take a Breather
One great way to manage your mind-body connection is by bringing awareness to your body. Focusing on your breath, therefore, is the simplest and most effective way to bring awareness to the motion of your body.
This practice has been famously incorporated into yoga practices to now being scientifically proven that deep breathing can stimulate the Vagus Nerve. These stimuli can help reduce the stress associated with ‘fight or flight’ responses.

Form Creative Hobbies
The easiest way to reconnect with your senses is by taking up creative hobbies to feel a sense of freshness in your routine.
Grooving to music, for instance, for ten minutes per day can help you to take control of your senses and make your mind-body connection fluent.

Get Professional Help
While it is possible, with certain things, to take control of your senses, you should always seek professional help when you feel even the tiniest need or discomfort.
We’re talking about hypnotherapy, a therapeutic procedure to ease the stress and anxiety that follows an inefficient mind-body connection.
