1. even approved by the NHS. imagine a river flowing through your digestive tract. if you have C, imagine the river speeding up. if you have D, imagine the river slowing down.

2. imagine soothing music being played in your intestines

3. don't be angry or annoyed with your digestion. instead nurture your bowels like a child, show some kind of understanding towards them. (bit too far fetched for my rational mind)

4. breathe out through your bowels

5. imagine a protective layer within your digestive tract that makes for smooth bowel movements

Apparently there are dozens more, but my course leader mentioned these examples when I asked her.

Depending on the individual you may also find useful 'commands' like : 'move' 'calm' or even scientific ones like 'my brain sends the right message and it is taken up correctly by the receptors in digestive tract'. I know I have. It's worthwhile to experiment and as I said do it regularly, otherwise it doesn't really work.

I too love that what works when nothing else does is recommended last instead of first! How crazy. -nt-
