Several claims in this talk lack scientific support. We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf We need to stop talking about mental health, and instead actually start doing something about it. Maya Raichoora- one of the UK’s leading mental fitness and visualisation experts presents a simple yet novel approach to training the mind and improving mental health. One of the UK’s leading visualisation experts, Maya is pioneering a mental fitness revolution. She is the founder and CEO of Remap mental fitness. Working with global brands like Nike, Lego and Barclays- she helps people think, feel and perform like the top 1%. Best known for hosting immersive visualisation events, her story and workshops will leave you feeling inspired, empowered and mentally strong. At the age of 15, Maya was diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis, an incurable irritable bowel disease. Crippled with physical and mental pain, she was told she had very little hope. After learning and practicing visualisation, the technique saved her life. She is now on a mission to help others.
