			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Research on the power of imagination and <a href="http://lifefocuscenter.com/blog/what-mediate-me/" >meditation</a> on the immune system has shown many times that meditation and visualization (use of your imagination in a transformative way) can improve your immune system.</p>
<p>In one research study thirty healthy students were divided into three groups. The choice was between:</p>
<ol>
<li>Working crossword puzzles</li>
<li>Relaxation training</li>
<li>Relaxation training and imagining their immune system being powerful</li>
<p>The immune system of the first group did not improve, that of second group improved slightly and that of the group using Transformative Imagination improved significantly after a single hour of imagining their immune system as more powerful.</ol>
<p>In another research on &quot;The effects of meditation and visual imagery on an immune system disorder&quot;: Dermatomyositis. Journal of Alternative &amp; Complementary Medicine, 11(2), 275-284, the researchers demonstrated the efficacy of meditation and visual imagery in healing dermatomyositis by examining measures of arm strength and skin condition &#8211; rash and pain.</p>
<p>I have personally used Transformative Imagination to shorten the period of cold sore eruptions (herpes simplex II) on my face:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">I suffer from bad cold sores (herpes simplex type II) three four times a year.  In these cases I get an occurrence on one or both earlobes and eventually part of my scalp.  When this happens my lymph glands swell and I am in great discomfort for about a week.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">After a week or so the occurrence is over and my lymph nodes return back to their normal state, On this occasion however, I had just ended reading the Simonton book (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0553280333?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=webpromotools&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0553280333" >Getting Well Again: The Bestselling Classic About the Simontons&#8217; Revolutionary Lifesaving Self- Awareness Techniques</a> ) and I decided to use the guided imagery techniques as described in the book.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">I first would enter a light to medium trance using a rapid self-hypnosis induction.  I, next, deepened my trance by the stair method and then started the guided imagery.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">I visualized my white blood cells to be polo players with bright white uniforms and the herpes virus to be gray colored golf ball shaped objects.  Whenever the polo players would hit the virus the crowd of onlookers would roar their approval and the virus would burst while in the air being thrown out of the polo field.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Simultaneously I gave a direct order to my body to increase the blood flow to my lymph node taking healing nutrition where ever my immune system needed.  The outcome of this hypnosis/guided meditation treatment was that the whole episode lasted only three days and only one of my lymph nodes swelled and my level of discomfort was much lower than previous outbreaks.</p>
<p>Since then (about ten years ago) I have way fewer cold sore outbreaks.

		<description><![CDATA[I just wrote a post on thankfulness in our main blog. In it I suggest you silently (or aloud if appropriate) thank each person you meet.
So let&#8217;s do a quick transformative imagination exercise to help you do this. Read the instruction and then immediately do it.
Close your eyes and take deep breath in and let [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Research on the power of imagination and <a href="http://lifefocuscenter.com/blog/what-mediate-me/" >meditation</a> on the immune system has shown many times that meditation and visualization (use of your imagination in a transformative way) can improve your immune system.</p>
<p>In one research study thirty healthy students were divided into three groups. The choice was between:</p>
<ol>
<li>Working crossword puzzles</li>
<li>Relaxation training</li>
<li>Relaxation training and imagining their immune system being powerful</li>
<p>The immune system of the first group did not improve, that of second group improved slightly and that of the group using Transformative Imagination improved significantly after a single hour of imagining their immune system as more powerful.</ol>
<p>In another research on &quot;The effects of meditation and visual imagery on an immune system disorder&quot;: Dermatomyositis. Journal of Alternative &amp; Complementary Medicine, 11(2), 275-284, the researchers demonstrated the efficacy of meditation and visual imagery in healing dermatomyositis by examining measures of arm strength and skin condition &#8211; rash and pain.</p>
<p>I have personally used Transformative Imagination to shorten the period of cold sore eruptions (herpes simplex II) on my face:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">I suffer from bad cold sores (herpes simplex type II) three four times a year.  In these cases I get an occurrence on one or both earlobes and eventually part of my scalp.  When this happens my lymph glands swell and I am in great discomfort for about a week.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">After a week or so the occurrence is over and my lymph nodes return back to their normal state, On this occasion however, I had just ended reading the Simonton book (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0553280333?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=webpromotools&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0553280333" >Getting Well Again: The Bestselling Classic About the Simontons&#8217; Revolutionary Lifesaving Self- Awareness Techniques</a> ) and I decided to use the guided imagery techniques as described in the book.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">I first would enter a light to medium trance using a rapid self-hypnosis induction.  I, next, deepened my trance by the stair method and then started the guided imagery.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">I visualized my white blood cells to be polo players with bright white uniforms and the herpes virus to be gray colored golf ball shaped objects.  Whenever the polo players would hit the virus the crowd of onlookers would roar their approval and the virus would burst while in the air being thrown out of the polo field.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Simultaneously I gave a direct order to my body to increase the blood flow to my lymph node taking healing nutrition where ever my immune system needed.  The outcome of this hypnosis/guided meditation treatment was that the whole episode lasted only three days and only one of my lymph nodes swelled and my level of discomfort was much lower than previous outbreaks.</p>
<p>Since then (about ten years ago) I have way fewer cold sore outbreaks.
