Therapeutic
Guided Imagery
The subconscious mind functions and communicates with our conscious
mind symbolically, meaning that it stores ideas, thoughts and memories
through symbols.
We all
know the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words". Well,
that has never been more true than with Guided Imagery.
Sometimes,
even when dreaming, we'll remember almost the entire dream, where it
made sense, then out of the blue there will be a symbol that initially
won't make sense to us. However, on further examination, in dream therapy,
we will be able to get to the hidden meaning and then the entire dream
WILL make sense.
All of
us have the ability to imagine and when we do, we picture different
scenarios in which we would like to be, we picture our memories, and
we even picture our futures. This is where Therapeutic Guided Imagery
comes in.
Through
this amazing process I can assist you in experiencing and overcoming
life's hurdles and obstacles. When dealing with grief, loss, chronic
or acute pain and the prospect of surgery, to name a few, Guided Imagery
allows you to go on living, by alleviating the pain and assisting with
the healing process, both physically and emotionally.
We all
have heard about Spirits and Guardian Angels. However, not too many
people have heard about Inner Guides. Through Guided Imagery, I can
assist you in finding your Inner Guide, and going through life with
the choice of asking for guidance at any time.
Personal
Place
Considering
the lives that we live, sometimes it would be great if we could escape
ALL THIS and retreat to our personal place. Guided Imagery is able to
give you just that!
Imagine
what it would be like to close your eyes and not only be in your personal
place (whether it's a Caribbean beach, in a forest, on a mountain, or
in the desert), but that all your stresses, frustrations and tensions
disappear!! After a few minutes of Imagery, one can 'return' to everyday
life at full speed, feeling refreshed and energized, ready to go on!
Guided
Imagery is able to get you over hurdles and obstacles, show the way
through life's maze, help you feel protected, assist you with the grieving
process and stages of loss, helps you get in touch with whatever situation
you're facing in life and prepares you for what you're expecting. It's
a personal process where one person's choice might not be another's.
The individualistic aspect of Guided Imagery is what makes it so effective.
Discovery
Process
I will
always do my best to assist and guide you through whichever stage in
life you're facing, in a way that it's easier for you.
When using
Guided Imagery, I am able to help my clients in their discovery process
as they gain insight, direction and empowerment from their imagery journeys.
I encourage
clients to take an active role in their healing and growth process,
stimulating the mind/body connection by developing proficiency in Imagery.
Therapeutic
Guided Imagery assists the client to move into confident independence.
When working
with each and every client it is a joy to discover the realm of infinite
possibilities through their subconscious imagery.
