What is guided imagery?

Guided imagery, also called visualization, is a method of communication between body and mind that utilizes perception, position and movement. Guided imagery involves mentally seeing pictures of relaxing situations, such as a sunset on the beach, a flowing mountain waterfall or a brilliant mountain sunrise, especially in a stressful situation, using the following thought processes: • vision • smell • taste • touch • position • movement As you use all your senses during imagery, you will actually make an effort to smell the flowers and trees, feel the breeze or temperature, feel the texture of the surface under your feet, hear all the sounds in nature. While some people are better at imagining than others, anyone can master this simple, inexpensive relaxation technique.

You can use guided imagery during massage or other touch therapy to boost relaxation and feelings of serenity and peacefulness. Much like learning to play the piano or tennis, becoming skilled at guided imagery involves time, patience, and practice; it is one relaxation skill that cannot be rushed or hurried. Studies have shown that with guided imagery, you can reduce your anxiety level during stressful times and even lower your heart rate and blood pressure.

As you continuously visualize a positive healing image, you may significantly contribute to your own well-being.
