Refresh and Revitalize Your Mind This Spring

Hooray! It’s springtime again in southern Utah. The world around us is waking up in a vibrant display of life and color. Trees and cacti overflow with blooms, flowers unfurl their petals, and desert creatures reappear, eagerly soaking up the sun. But spring isn’t just a fresh start for Mother Nature; it’s also a welcome opportunity for us to refresh and rejuvenate our lives.

As the days grow warmer, we often feel an irresistible urge to embark on new adventures. This energetic season invites us to tackle improvements, big and small, that lead to greater joy and success in all areas of our lives. It is a time when our minds become more open and ready to pursue self-improvement goals and ideas we may have been putting off.

I love helping others find success in every good thing, but one of my favorite focuses this time of year is assisting people in rediscovering and reigniting helpful feelings and perspectives. Sometimes, we go through stressful periods or events that alter our thinking, emotions, and brain patterns in negative ways, creating a “wintery fog.” In these situations, life can feel so different for so long that the old feelings fade further and further away until some of the positive feelings of yesteryear seem gone forever. The truth is, no matter how distant those good feelings may seem, your brain’s neural pathways can be restimulated and begin to be brought back online in a matter of minutes.

Just as the sun’s rays trigger changes in nature, our brains and bodies are equipped with natural tools to renew mental and physical functions. Accredited research continues to show that the mind is highly malleable. Dormant neural pathways can be reignited, and unhelpful pathways can be altered, particularly when the brain operates at specific wavelengths. This means we can “turn on” old feelings or thought processes we thought were long gone. To do this most effectively, the brain needs to be operating at lower wavelength frequencies than our conscious-thinking mind but at higher wavelength frequencies than our sleeping mind.

The surprising yet simple answer to allowing your brain to be in this state is to be in a very deep form of meditation—or what we call hypnosis. That word “hypnosis” can cause some to raise an eyebrow, but hypnosis, simply put, is a deeper meditation than most people are successfully able to stay in or think in for long periods of time on their own. 

A clinical hypnotherapist helps you relax your mind and body, guiding your brain from the conscious mind’s beta waves, through calming alpha waves, and into deeper theta waves. Once in this powerful theta state, the subconscious mind comes to the forefront, making it easier to change old feelings, habits, and thoughts.

During hypnosis, you can release old emotions tied to stressful events and reverse the effects of negative past events and traumas. In a theta-healing state, with the guidance of a skilled hypnotherapist, you will likely rediscover positive feelings and perspectives you thought were lost. With consistent hypnotherapy, the missing feelings will begin to revive and become part of your life again, setting the stage for renewed self-worth, confidence, and success.

As we marvel at the beauty of spring’s revival, let it remind us of our incredible potential for transformation. Change is not only within reach—it’s an exciting process filled with hope and endless possibilities.
