Staying Well with Guided Imagery: How to Harness the Power of Your Imagination For Health and Healing Book

Description

Using the techniques of imagery, total body wellness can be achieved without prescriptive medicine. With this comprehensive, user-friendly primer, readers will learn just what guided sensory imagery is and how to create powerful images in the mind that direct the body to heal–both emotionally and physically. Psychotherapist and guided imagery pioneer Belleruth Naparstek pulls together everything that’s currently known about this exciting new method of deliberate, directed daydreaming, and shows you how to use it for your own health and growth. She spells out exactly what guided sensory imagery is, why it works, what circumstances make it work best, what to expect when experiencing it, and all the different kinds of imagery that have been found by the latest medical research to be effective. Belleruth Naparstek offers the same kinds of healing words and powerful images that appear on her popular Health Journeys audiotape series, and applies the imagery she uses so effectively with people who have life-threatening and debilitating diseases. In addition, she provides over twenty completely new imagery scripts for maintaining physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, including cellular imagery for strengthening the immune system; physiological imagery for the cardiovascular system; psychological imagery for maintaining emotional resiliency and healthy boundaries; end-state imagery for behavioral change; imagery that helps you improve your relationships; scripts for common complaints such as headache, insomnia, allergies, and sluggish metabolism and much more.
