The Emil Barna Podcast - Safe Place Visualisation Meditation | Promotes Neuroplasticity | Guided by Emil Barna

Safe Place Visualisation Meditation | Promotes Neuroplasticity | Guided by Emil Barna

03/09/24 • 13 min

The Emil Barna Podcast

This is a 12-minute 'Safe Place' visualisation meditation protocol that helps enhance the brain's learning process, reduces daytime fatigue, and helps improve focus. This exercise can be done before bed to relax your nervous system or any other time during the day to help you reconnect with the present moment. Exercises like this have been found to promote neuroplasticity—your brain's ability to change and grow.
"Brain scans show us that generally many of the same neurons that fire when we perceive something in the external world also fire when we first remember that object or experience. In the brain, imagining an act and doing it are not as different as they may seem ... visualizing, remembering, or imagining pleasant experiences activates many of the same sensory, motor, emotional, and cognitive circuits that fired during the "real" experience." Norman Doidge, The Brain's Way of Healing.
Recorded by psychotherapist Emil Barna.
