What is the difference between meditation and guided imagery?

Guided imagery was formerly called visualization. I teach integrative imagery, which takes place between a nurse guide and a client or patient. This utilizes individual life experience and imagination as opposed to predetermined images.

There are many prepared visualizations. One is directing a client to a beach in Hawaii for relaxation. This picture might not work when the client is afraid of water.

I use locations or experiences of the client's own choosing. When I proceed this way, the client becomes an active participant in his/her own care. The focus shifts from a fight-or-flight to a healing response.

This imagery can then be used in future situations such as disease prevention and health promotion. How would nurses use this in their practice? This isn't so much a specialized discipline, but an enhancement of the skills and assessments that nurses already have.

Scripted imagery is not concentrated on fixing a problem, but in helping patients come up with their own coping tools ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
