Guided Imagery

in Healing

 

 

 

Imagery is the thought process that invokes and uses the senses of vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch, balance, position, and movement.  It is the communication mechanism between perception, emotion, and bodily change.  A major cause of both wellness and sickness, the image is the world’s oldest and greatest healing resource. . . . MORE!

 

 

Delight in meditation and solitude.

Compose yourself, be joyful.

 

 

You are a seeker.

In the HAI Imagery in Healing Course, you will discover that the systematic use of mental imagery is the world’s oldest and most powerful healing resource.  You will explore the tradition of shamanism, surveying this time-honored way of touching the nexus of the mind, body, and soul; the use of imagery within Western medicine, including a look at contemporary examples of how health care professionals have drawn on the power of the imagination through such methods as hypnosis, biofeedback, and the placebo effect; and the science of immunology to uncover the most effective ground for visualization, and data demonstrating how imagery can have a direct and profound impact on the workings of the immune system.  You will acquire a variety of creative visionary techniques drawn from around the world such as reverie states, personal myths, helping figures, inner light, healing visions, healing imagery, and spiritual transformations.  Moreover, you will come to understand how guided imagery promotes healing, change, and wholeness.
