Approximately eighty-five percent of medical problems are related to stress. Relaxation
techniques can help to reduce stress. Guided imagery enhances relaxation and is
a language embraced by the subconscious mind which can affect many physical functions
of the body, as well as, emotional changes. Relaxation and guided imagery are powerful
agents for positive changes, both physically and emotionally.
Relaxation techniques are skills that can be utilized throughout one’s life to
control anxiety, emotional responses, irrational thoughts and stress. Imagery can
be used to assist and promote relaxation.
Guided Imagery is a multi-sensory experience utilizing all your senses. It is
a process where you can see, hear, taste, feel or smell the thoughts in your mind.
Imagery is the bridge and interface between your mind and body.
Imagery can be used to alter physiological responses. The subconscious mind does
not always know the difference between what is real or imagined. For example: just
by thinking of eating a lemon, your mouth may begin to salivate. There is no real
lemon, but your thought can create a physical response of producing saliva.
Thoughts can have a positive or negative effect on how your body responds to stress
and illness. Imagery techniques can guide your body to respond in positive and effective
ways to promote healing.
Imagery can help with relaxation and assist in decreasing blood pressure, headaches,
blood flow and pain, just to mention a few of the physical effects. Conditions caused
or worsened by stress respond well to imagery techniques. Athletes can improve their
performance through learning effective guided imagery techniques.
Imagery can also be used to stimulate an inner dialogue process for problem solving.
Through this experience an inner advisor may be used as a wise and creative guide.
