Commonly Asked Questions about guided imagery:

What is Guided Imagery?

Guided Imagery is a type of psychological therapy that also induces the relaxation response in the body.

How does this work?

Guided imagery works by the trained facilitator giving the participant positive mental images and/or co-creating a journey unfolding in the inner landscape of the person. By voice, through auditory suggestion, the skilled facilitator can enable a person to change their point of reference. Sometimes this leads to cessation of troubling thoughts, a relief from emotional pain, and/or relief from physical pain. A spontaneous increase of refreshed energy usually accompanies the end of a guided imagery session.

Is it safe? Is it effective?

Guided Imagery is a personal journey that may illicit emotions with the goal of bringing a safe, peaceful resolution to inner turmoil, stress, fear, or mental/physical dysfunction.

What to expect?

Integrative providers and “regular” doctors, therapists, counselors, of all stripes, use this beautiful method. By facilitating a visual experience you have inwardly that induces a change in your feelings, you proceed on a journey of discovery. As your inner stress, worries and fears drift away, new information for your life may emerge from deep personal experience. That is what we call a “shift” or “release”, often the turning point in a life crisis, including an illness, sickness or condition. All manner of researchers have shown, the relaxation response accompanied by positive feelings about oneself, leads to improved health and ability to function. Used with detox protocols, Guided imagery can help with mental and emotional problems. Come search your road to discovery as we rest, eyes closed, listening to an experienced professional, licensed and skillful, create a pathway for you as your journey begins.
