GUIDED IMAGERY

Creative, directed imagery is a potent healer that has long been overlooked by practitioners of Western medicine. Imagery can relieve pain, speed healing and help the body subdue hundreds of ailments, including depression, impotence, allergies and asthma. The power of the mind to influence the body is quite remarkable. Although it isn't always curative, imagery can be helpful in 90 percent of the problems that people bring to the attention of their primary care physicians.

Initial Journeys. The Special Place Journey is the creation and exploration of your Special Place. This session allows you to experience what an Imagery Journey looks and feels like as well as setting the stage for future journeys and explorations. You will be taken into a light hypnotic trance, enabling you to more easily accept positive suggestions according to your desires. The Inner Guide Journey gives you tools to take with you on your journeys and introduces you to your own Inner Guide. The Inner Guide is a protector, a mentor and a best friend, an image that is connected to the all-loving, all-accepting and all-knowing part of you.

FreeStyle Imagery involves exploring various images as metaphors for your personal, individual and unique problems, stresses and desires. This can include specially designed journeys utilizing mythic archetypes and scenarios, allowing the sub-conscious to express in images what it may not in language.

The Hero's Journey is based on the ideas of Joseph Campbell and his archtypal Hero, utilizing a basic storyline to take you through a series of challenges, finding many treasures along the way. The Hero's Journey consists of 7 consecutive sessions starting in The Meadow and ending with a double session in The Seahorses/Four Caves.

During Guided Imagery, you will learn to direct and control the images in your head. The many positive results include minimizing pain, helping your body heal itself, releasing the past, increasing motivation, self-love and general empowerment. Your imagination is like a spirited, powerful horse. Untamed, it can be dangerous and run you over. However, when the imagination is purposeful and directed, it can be a tremendously powerful vehicle to get you where you want to go. A Guided Imagery Master will use visualization to harness the energy of your imagination, and results can be dramatic.
